The body of the dragon passed by following its head. The dragon was quite long. People on either side of the body, protected it from passersby.

Unlike the Chinese dragon which rapidly followed a ball, this dragon slowly followed people.

The dragon lifted its head and opened its mouth wide, but its roar could not be heard because those leading it made too much noise.
