The Dragon, sometimes called King Beast, is the fire-beast from hell, coming to earth as a bringer of destruction, the one who understands good and evil and all its elements. The costume, as the name says is that of a dragon with an overall costume of scales, a dragon head with a movable tongue and a long scaled tail. Chains are tied around the beast which are held by Imps, in order to restrain it as it comes dancing a 'Dragon Dance' through the streets.The aim of the 'Dragon Dance' is to captivate and frighten its audience.
