Can anyone tell me of the symbolism of each of the Chinese mythological dragons please?

I am particularly interested in the colour, role, habitat and virtues/qualities of each of the ancient Chinese dragons.

THe ones with five fingers on each claws are royal and reserved for the emperor (though you see it pretty often these days). Other than that Wikipedia has a great section on dragons - both western and eastern.

Dragons are like the I.B.M. logo. Except that I.B.M. had the presence of mind to take out a copyright.
