I'm not sure which character you're referring to because you didn't provide any context or information. If you can provide more information or specify the specific novel, I will try my best to provide you with a more accurate answer.
The answer to the Chinese zodiac was a dragon. " The wonders of the world " referred to the dragon. Because among the twelve zodiac animals, only the dragon did not exist in reality, so people thought it was magical. The dragon was one of the most representative animals in Chinese traditional culture and was often used to symbolize auspicious signs.
