Nezha is one of the most iconic figures in Chinese mythology, famously known as the "Third Lotus Prince." He is typically depicted as a youthful, powerful warrior who defies authority and fate. His standard iconography includes his "Universe Ring" (a golden hoop), the "Red Armillary Sash" (a magical flowing ribbon), the "Fire-Tipped Spear," and his "Wind-Fire Wheels" (flaming wheels he rides for flight).
Nezha’s story is a central part of classic Chinese literature, particularly the 16th-century novel Investiture of the Gods. He is a complex hero—often portrayed as a reckless, rebellious, and fiercely powerful child who transforms into a protective deity. His journey from an impulsive youth to a guardian figure makes him a symbol of self-determination, resilience, and the struggle against rigid societal expectations.
Comes from a pet and smoke-free environment.
