In the grand parade of the Chinese zodiac, which member is the only mythical creature?

In the vibrant tapestry of the Chinese zodiac, where animals of all walks of life – from the hardworking Ox to the cunning Rat – take a year-long spotlight, the Dragon soars above the rest as the sole mythical creature, celebrated with much fanfare as the bringer of strength, luck, and good fortune. As we transitioned from the Year of the Rabbit to the Year of the Dragon in February 2024, celebrations across the globe, from the bustling streets of Hong Kong to the vibrant communities of New York City, took on an extra layer of excitement.
