King Gao Long

Character Design for a Kung Fu Panda villain :)

Lore :
When Po unleashes his power at the end of the 3rd opus, he unknowingly awakens a dragon buried under the Ancestral Kingdom of the South (isolated lands of the immortal Varan Warriors) for millions years, waiting for the Dragon Warrior prophecy to come true. Unfortunately, by coming out of the ground, the dragon wiped out much of the Kingdom, causing death and desolation in the capital city.

After having slaughtered the beast, King Gao Long, leader of the Varans, orders the general mobilization. He promises his army to find the Dragon Warrior and avenge them*, destroying all that dear to him, and by chopping off his head with his own Guan Dao.

* The Dragon Warrior prophecy also exists in Southern Kingdom, but does not have the same meaning only in the Valley of Peace. Among the Varans, this prophecy announces that: “Whoever dares to carry the title of Dragon Warrior will be responsible for the destruction of the
kingdom, will have to pay for his actions and face the wrath of the Varan Warriors ”.
