Found in all media, feline dragons with short snouts, horns, and long snakelike bodies first appeared in Chinese art during the Zhou dynasty (1046–256 B.C.). They reappeared during the twelfth to the fifteenth century and became prominent again during the Qing dynasty (1644–1911), an era characterized by a pervasive interest in the past.
