Shin Megami Tensei IV[]
Known as Long, he is an optional boss in the Challenge Quest, Slaying the Dragon of the Lake. Found at Lake Mikado near Mikado Castle, he asks if Flynn has come to slay him. Answering yes has him attack and call him a fool for thinking he can slay him. He asks Flynn if he believes dragons to be "Enemies to be slain for honor and glory," or as gods of the land. Telling Long that dragons are just beasts to be slain shifts Flynn towards Law, while believing that dragons are holy spirits shifts him towards Chaos. After defeating it, the dragon admits to underestimating him and is surprised by his great power. He decides to leave the Lake after the battle.
Purchasing the Mikado Wood upper body armor will grant Flynn a resistance to Force attacks during the battle. Fortuna will also absorb Long's Force skills and may be fused with a special fusion of Napaea, Dwarf and Melchom. Sandman, who drains Force, can also prove to be a useful ally.

Like the battles with the other strong demons, the battle has three stages. Unlike them, however, Long will begin the battle with hard hitting spells.

"One of the Ssu-Ling, celestial creatures in Chinese lore. The four beasts were divided equally throughout the land to protect the five emperors in ancient China. There is even a mural depiction of them in Kitora Tomb in Japan. Long the azure dragon is protector of the east and represents the season of spring. In Feng Shui, placing water in the east, guides Long's power and is said to bring good fortune."
In some official English versions this demon is incorrectly translated as Long due to confusion between Four Symbols (Si Xiang) and four benevolent animals (Si Ling or Ssu-Ling) of China. In the original Japanese version, Seiryu or Qing Long represents one of the Four Symbols and Ryu or Long belongs to four benevolent animals which are fundamentally different.
