Acquisition
The Hidden Dragon is acquired after clearing the Land of Dragons for the first time. Once Shan-Yu has been defeated, saving the Emperor from capture, Mulan and Sora are commended for their service. Mulan receives a medal bearing the Emperor's crest, and Sora earns this keyblade.
Design
The Hidden Dragon keyblade is designed with an oriental dragon theme. The guard is similar to the color and shape of Mushu. Its blade is a burst of fire coming out of Mushus mouth, while it features the medal Mulan receives for saving the Emperor on the key chain.
Etymology
The name for this Keyblade is most likely based on the title of the Chinese story Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. This is enforced due to the fact that it is obtained in The Land Of Dragons, which is based off of ancient China.
