Despite the similarities in the names, it doesn't seem to me that Lung Shen Li is at all related to the Shen-Lung breed of dragon. I was confused at first, and then I noticed Temeraire calls her "Shen Li" so that appears to be her given name, and she is simply "Lung" (Dragon)? What does Shen Li mean in Chinese, does anyone smarter than me know? -- Strangerface 06:32, 20 August 2010 (PDT)

Shen Li? Oog. Considering the name of Lung Shen Gao (later seen near Sydney), I'm starting to think that the new breed actually is called "Shen", but that it's an audibly different word than the previously-known Shēn(神)-Lung and is being repeated to emphasize the different tone. However, I have no alternate leads so far. --Wombat1138 11:44, 20 August 2010 (PDT)
