Indeed, it is Uroburos and the infinite cycle of creation and destruction.
Uroburos is not always pictured as a snake. It is often depicted as a dragon in the east, as their dragons are more serpentine. Their dragons are also on par with deities, in many ways. The Jade emperor is a deity, but is not "the creator god" in many ways, he is simply a sort of administrator. Anyway - he decides to hold a race to determine the order of the zodiac spirits… And the Dragon comes in fifth. Why? He went and made it rain in a village, saved the rabbit (who came in ahead of him) from drowning - you know, things more important than what god told him to do.
The rat came in first by riding on an ox. The cat, however, believed the rat when the rat told the cat the race was on a other day. Thus, cats became spiteful creatures, particularly toward rats.

And, of course, my favorite character in that series is the dragon. Small, but impactful role.
It's a red dragon the NSA used, however. Would have been better if they went with a yellow/gold dragon. Earth dragon is best dragon.
