Eastern dragon are all have thick back bristles,which you can clearly see

But what you can’t see is-in their back bristles, there are hidden spines derived from the spinous processes of the vertebral bodies.

This structure can greatly enhance the lethality of the spin tail sweep, just like a mace，this will be scary if be in hit

This is not only the body structure of Yinglong, but also a lot of eastern dragons, including Hongchi

This specialized spines are distributed from the back of the head to near the end of the tail

东龙们都有厚厚的背鬃，这是你很清楚能看得到的

但看不到的是，在他们厚重的背鬃下隐藏着由椎体棘突衍生而来的背部棘刺

这些背刺能够有效提升背身尾抽的杀伤力，就像狼牙棒，被命中将会是很可怕的一件事

这并不是应龙独有的身体结构，大部分神龙都有，包括红炽

它们从后脑勺一直分布到尾巴末端的附近
