Personality

Shendu appears to be highly possessive of what he considers his. He immediately sought to reclaim all the Noble Animals' powers upon his resurrection first and foremost (though this had the strategic value of increasing his power again), and he oftentimes expresses a feeling that his Talismans' powers (implied to have originally belonged to the modern Noble Animals' ancestors) not only belong to him alone but also that they're parts of him without which he is incomplete. Shendu declared in The Powers That Be (Part 2) that he considered the earthly realm to be his domain and his alone, showing a feeling that only he is rightfully allowed to rule it. However, Shendu's covetousness isn't absolute - when reduced to a spirit possessing Valmont, Shendu held no interest in reclaiming his Talismans (possibly because he couldn't reabsorb them), even sorely telling the Enforcers, "Keep your Talismans." He also declared when Drago intended to tear open the Earth that in his petrified state, he'd be proud to watch his son turn the world to ash; though he may have been playing to make Uncle more desperate to agree to freeing him. Despite his vindictiveness, Shendu seems to be able to change his mind where revenge on his enemies is concerned. Whereas he'd initially vowed to tear Valmont to shreds after being killed by Jade, and claimed to be nothing but happy to be rid of the Enforcers when they wanted to desert him; after rewriting the Book of Ages, he made all of them his court jesters in the rewritten reality (though he did make them put up with abuse typical of his treatment of them in the main reality, when they failed to amuse him, firing heat beams at them to make them dance more effectively) - this may have been because the Dark Hand in the rewritten timeline had technically never acted against him. Likewise in the rewritten timeline, the Chan Clan were allowed to live as his personal slaves, although he openly revelled in the altered Jackie's utter submissiveness.

Appearance

Shendu appears as a humanoid mix of Chinese and European dragon, standing over 20 feet tall. He has greenish skin and red eyes. His statue form has his body absent of his limbs and wrapped up in a swirl with his head in the center, leaving twelve slots for the talismans to be inserted in a semicircle under his head.
