🐲

Dragon Face Emoji 🐲

This is only the dragon's head; the full coiled body lives one emoji over at 🐉 Dragon, and the two get mixed up constantly. Outside that mix-up, its exaggerated scowl works like any monster face does: mock fury, an over-the-top reaction, more meme than myth.

What 🐲 means

A facial representation of a green-faced dragon with feathery yellow eyebrows, widened eyes, an open mouth with red insides and gritted white teeth, two strings of yellow mustache, and flared nostrils.

Although the 🐲 Dragon Face emoji can have a majority of its significance directed towards Chinese New Year, its usage is largely dependent on the country and culture. It generally signifies being fire-mouthed, dangerous, chaotic, mythical, and supernatural to some extent.

How and when to use it

If you're texting someone about an extremely angry situation or person that almost went out of control and into the realm of insanity, you can use 🐲 to suggest that the situation or the person was spitting fire.
Use 🐲 while wishing someone a "Happy Chinese New Year" or "New Year Happiness" or "Gong Hei Fat Choy! 🐲.
You can also use 🐲 in your social media profile name if you love dragons, find them fascinating, or you're just a huge fan of Khaleesi.
In some regions, dragons do not have a positive connotation. So, in such cases, you can use 🐲 as to represent evil, danger and fear.
If you're sharing Game of Throne (GoT) related news, posts, or even dragon memes, you can use 🐲 in the caption. This applies to any movie, series, or even cartoons (like DragonballZ) that have dragons in them, have the word 'dragon' in them or have a dragon mascot.
