The giant deep-sea caudofoveate Chaetoderma shenloong is a species in the family Chaetodermatidae. They are discovered in the Haima methane seep at around 1,385 meters. The species name 'shenloong' means 'divine dragon' in Mandarin Chinese, alluding the body form and sclerites of caudofoveates to Chinese dragons ('loongs'). This is also a reference to the Chinese saying 'You shall never see the head and tail of Shén Loong at the same time' used to refer to something highly elusive, like C. shenloong hidden deep inside black mud. Furthermore, this name takes inspiration from the dragon character Shenron ( = also Shenlong or Shenloong) in the Japanese manga series Dragon Ball by the artist Akira Toriyama (1955-2024).
