The Great Stone Dragon is a stone dragon located outside the Fa family household. It makes a minor appearance in Mulan.
Role in the film[]
After Fa Mulan runs away from home to serve in her elderly father Fa Zhou's place in a war against the deadly Hun Army, the spirits of the ancestors choose to send the Great Stone Dragon to simply bring her back home safely. For the task of awakening him, they send Mushu, who is offended when he is not asked to find her himself (in the past, his actions in protecting the Fa family led to disaster). After several unsuccessful attempts at waking the Dragon, he accidentally breaks off the dragon statue's right ear after slamming the gong on it several times, causing the rest of the statue to fall apart. Fearing the ancestors' wrath, Mushu uses the statue's mostly intact head to imitate the being and cover up his mistake. The ruse works, and the head ancestor tells the "dragon" to go and fetch Mulan.
Video games[]
Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion[]
After Mushu was found by Mickey, one of Mulan's (actually Mushu's) quests was to repair the Great Stone Dragon.
Disney Dreamlight Valley[]
Mushu mentions the Great Stone Dragon twice in Disney Dreamlight Valley. First when the Player ask Mushu if there are other Guardians, he tells them not to ask about the Great Stone Dragon, as he's on a "leave of absence". Then when the Player asks Mushu if he knows the Great Stone Dragon, he replies, "Why? You want an autograph? Don't hold your breath. He's, uh...indisposed. Let's just say he cracked under pressure."

Trivia[]
- It's possible the Great Stone Dragon didn't want to be a guardian and replaced himself with a statue replica of himself since he never woke up and his spirit didn't rise up when Mushu accidentally smashed his statue.
- Another possibility is that the spirit of the Great Stone Dragon had been awakened by Mulan making her decision to take her father's place as she was sitting in front of the statue when making the decision and his spirit was inside of Mulan the whole time, leaving the statue as an empty husk.
