not to opine on main but here are some southeast asian mythological creature designs presented, without comment, next to the dragon from Raya
I have given up on recieving any kind of authentic representation from mainstream media outlets but if you are unable to even engage with the visual design elements of a culture(s) (arguably one of the most surface level aspects) i have strong doubts about your ability-
-to sincerely connect with those cultures on any deeper level
