Korean dragons are legendary creatures in Korean mythology and folklore. Dragons in Korean mythology are mostly viewed as benevolent beings related to water and agriculture, often considered bringers of rain and clouds while Chinese dragons traditionally symbolize potent and auspicious powers. Many Korean dragons are said to have resided in rivers, lakes, oceans, or even deep ponds within mountains.
Ancient texts sometimes mention sentient
speaking dragons, capable of understanding such complex emotions such as devotion, kindness, and gratitude. One particular Korean legend speaks of the great King Munmu, who on his deathbed wished to become a "Dragon of the East Sea in order to protect Korea".
