Koohii stories:

1) [fuaburisu] 14-1-2006(250): The top 16 strokes are the chinese radical for "dragon". Joining up both meanings of the radical we can name the top part of this kanji "imperial dragon". Two-headed snakes do exist as biological curiosities, and they look a bit like a slingshot (with the heads splitting at a junction). Our imperial dragon here, the pet of a Chinese emperor, is a rare "three-headed slingshot-snake" kept in a vase and fed with meat. When the emperor attacked neighbours, his army wore the imperial dragon garment.

2) [jackswitch] 31-3-2009(99): Fuaburisu's story is incredibly good, but I made it a bit simpler: The imperial dragon is a rare "three-headed slingshot-snake", kept in a vase and fed with meat. It's very aggressive, so at feeding time you need to wear the special garment or it will attack you.

3) [Katsuo] 20-2-2008(65): You attack an old dragon 龍 and take his clothes. REF: dragon [old] (#2981 龍).

4) [mattimus] 27-11-2009(21): You attack the Ancient Chinese dragon 龍 with the help of your fire-proof garment. Ref: dragon [old] (#2981 龍).

5) [plumage] 23-5-2009(15): Legend of Zelda: Link ATTACKS by throwing a VASE at the FLESH of the boss, fires his SLINGSHOT, uses his HOOKshot 3 TIMES, and wears a magic GARMENT, all to try to find its weakness.
