He’s a vaguely dragon-like figure who controls the world’s rain. At least in China he does.

At a whim Yu Shi can send a light refreshing shower or dispatch a dreadful deluge. He carries a magic container of water which he gently tips in the required direction. Just a single drop is enough to cause a torrential downpour.
