Legend of the White Dragon (Film):This is an upcoming American science-fiction superhero film titled "Legend of the White Dragon." The story follows Erik Reed, also known as The White Dragon, who, after losing an epic battle with the ancient overlord Ashtagor, is blamed for the decimation of the city and the tragic loss of innocent lives. He becomes a fugitive but returns to Virtuo City three years later to clear his name, protect his family, and defeat a new threat named Dragon Prime.

White Dragon King in Chinese Mythology:In the context of Chinese mythology, particularly from the "Journey to the West," the White Dragon Horse (Bai Long Ma) is a significant character. He is the third son of the Dragon King of the West Sea and was punished for accidentally damaging a pearl meant for the Jade Emperor. He was transformed into a horse to serve Tang Sanzang (Tripitaka) on his pilgrimage to retrieve Buddhist scriptures. At the end of the journey, he becomes the Great Strength Bodhisattva of the Eight Heavenly Sections.

Sohryuden: Legend of the Dragon Kings (Anime):In the anime "Sohryuden: Legend of the Dragon Kings," the White Dragon King is one of four brothers, named Owaru Ryudo, who are dragon kings in their own right. Each brother controls an element, and Owaru, the White Dragon King, governs the air (wind and sound). The brothers fight against a group called the "Bulls" and the "Four Sisters" who aim to take over the world.

White Dragon King in Thai Taoism:Chow Yam-nam, known as the "White Dragon King," was a Thai Taoist and living saint from Pattaya, Thailand. He gained fame for his supposed ability to bless individuals, particularly celebrities in Hong Kong, leading them to success. His spiritual journey allegedly began with visions or encounters with the spirit of a white dragon king. After his death in 2013, his daughter succeeded him as the "Yellow Dragon King."

Mythological and Religious Contexts:In some Eastern mythologies, the White Dragon King can be associated with purity, virtue, and often linked to the element of water or the west within the Five Elements philosophy.
