sky dragon

Winged heavens beast

A sky dragon is a mythical serpentine creature associated with the heavens, clouds, or celestial phenomena—particularly in East Asian traditions where dragons are benevolent spirits of weather and rain rather than the fire-breathing beasts of European lore.

The term also appears in fantasy games and fiction for any dragon that dwells in or rules the skies: The sky dragon circled above the mountain peak.
