They had long, white horns that grew from their heads, and adults had multi-colored beards. As they were polymorphs, they were frequently seen in human form only.

Combat
Chiang lung would avoid combat when possible, but were savage fighters nonetheless. In melee combat they used their claws, fangs and tails which inflicted severe damage to their opponents. When in human form, a chiang lung is armed with a massive sword.

They generated storm clouds at will, causing rain whenver desired. They could also lower the water level within a 1 square mile (1.6 sqaure kilometer) radius, this range increased as they grew older.

Ecology
Chiang lungs were omnivores. Their diet consisted of minerals, gems, fish, sheep, or other large mammals. Their lairs were usually frequented by lesser spirits, who acted as aides or bodyguards. At birth they could immediately breathe both water and air. Despite being wingless, they could fly thanks to magical blue pearls which were embedded in their brains.

Celestial Bureaucracy
Within the Celestial Bureaucracy, chiang lungs served as guardians of lakes and rivers and bring rain. They worked for the Ministry of Thunder, which in turn answered to the Celestial Empire. The chiang lung were the lords and guardians of lakes and rivers; every such body of water was the jurisdiction of a single chiang lung, but they rarely showed themselves to humans outside their jurisdiction. They had the duties of making or bringing rain and managing water flows, and were responsible to the Bureaucracy for the denizens of the water within their jurisdictions. Shen lung were assigned to act as guards and assistants to chiang lung by the Celestial Bureaucracy and took this duty very seriously.
