Ink-Wash Sleeve · 水墨

The Mythical Bestiary

Every legendary creature you could brush into a full ink-wash sleeve around your dragon — with meaning, origin, and how well each pairs. Tap to build your sleeve (keep it to 2–4).

How many fit? Brush/ink-wash lives on negative space — the empty skin is the design. Keep it to 1 anchor (your dragon) + 1–3 supporting creatures. 5+ turns to mud. The strongest path: theme the sleeve around a classic grouping below.

Classic groupings — pick a theme, not randoms

Dragon & Phoenix 龍鳳

Yin/yang; the most iconic pairing.

Dragon & Tiger 龍虎

Heaven vs. earth; power in balance.

Four Symbols 四象

Azure Dragon (E) · Vermilion Bird (S) · White Tiger (W) · Black Tortoise-Snake (N). One per section — perfect sleeve theme, and your dragon is already one.

Five Guardians 五靈

Four Symbols + Qilin at the center.
