Legends say that this bird lives atop a massive iron tree, feasting on dragons.
Of course, dining on dragons is an exaggeration.
Would a True Dragon even let itself be eaten by a Golden Winged Great Peng?
I'm afraid it would be more likely that the eater becomes the eaten.
At best, it could manage to eat a Jiaolong, a lesser dragon-type creature.
Encounter a True Dragon, and under the might of its claws, not a feather on the bird would remain!
In some mythological stories, the Golden Winged Peng is the uncle of Tathagata from the Buddhist Sect.
It is said that both the Roc and the peacock are born from a phoenix.
Once, the peacock even swallowed Tathagata whole. When Tathagata burst out of the peacock's back, he intended to take its life. However, the assembly of Buddhas thought it would be equivalent to harming one's own mother.
