Ramen Dragon

Long ago, in the floating noodle villages of Shoyu Province, a great famine struck the land. Crops withered, rivers dried, and the people wept into their empty bowls. Desperate, the elders performed the ancient "Kettle Summoning" ritual—pouring every last drop of their broth into a sacred iron cauldron, infused with prayers for salvation. As the steam thickened into storm clouds, a monstrous shape emerged—a serpentine dragon woven from noodles, its scales shimmering with miso-glazed gold, eyes swirling like soft-boiled eggs. It was the Ramen Dragon, a spirit born from hunger, hope, and umami.
