Pulao is attested in Chinese catalogues and lists of divine and mythic figures as one of the named dragon-sons. Early textual tradition preserves variant forms of the name (recorded as tulao / 徒牢 and as Pu Lao), and Pulao appears as an entry among compendia of mythic names and dragon-related figures. The available sources present Pulao not as the subject of extended narrative episodes but as a member of the named roster of dragon-sons whose identities are used in classificatory and decorative contexts.
Direct physical description in the supplied sources is minimal. Pulao is presented as a type of dragon (a dragon-son) and therefore participates in the visual language of Chinese dragon imagery; sources describe it as one of the nine sons of the dragon and as a small dragon motif used decoratively. Precise morphological details (scale pattern, limbs, exact posture) are not provided in the referenced excerpts; its representation is primarily attested in terms of its function as a motif rather than in full descriptive anatomy.
The only specific behavioral trait recorded in the sources is that Pulao 'likes to roar.' That proclivity for loud vocalization is the principal attributed characteristic and is given as the cultural rationale for its conventional placement in decorative uses related to sound. No other powers (such as weather control, granting protection, or causing harm) are described in the supplied materials.
