The outer ring shell is black, taking the shape of a dragon's back. The core of the ring has golden lining. It has a golden gem embedded at the top.
Abilities[]
Multiplication/Personality Dividing - When activated, could multiply the user into as many as nine people. However, rather than make exact duplicates of the user, it separated his or herself into different parts of their whole self such as maturity, skills or emotions.
Effects on User[]
The only seen users of the Ring of the Nine Dragons is Jack Spicer, Omi and Mala Mala Jong. Since the ring can split a person into nine people fragments, rather than duplicates, each person seemed to have their own personality though lacking what the whole person had.
When combined with either the Ying or Yang Yo-Yo, the user could leave their good/bad self inside the Yin Yang World, as seen with Good Jack Spicer when he was retrieving Chi from said world and used the ring to make a second Good Jack to distract the Yin Yang Creature. In a later episode, the Life and Times of Hannibal Bean, Jack, turned evil from his last visit with the Yin Yang World, met with his good self then Raimundo used the Shen Gong Wu to reunite the two real Jacks.
The Ring of the Nine Dragons was also used by Mala Mala Jong to split himself into the Fearsome Four. Although this had the effect of replicating the Shen Gong Wu that made up its body, it also resulted in minor variances, as certain members of the Fearsome Four used particular Sen Gong Wu that others did not.

Trivia[]
While an infrequently-recurring Shen Gong Wu, the Ring of the Nine Dragons was most frequently held and utilized by Jack Spicer.
Jack Spicer activated the Wu by saying "the Ring of Nine Dragons" rather than "Ring of the Nine Dragons" in Finding Omi, demonstrating that a Shen Gong Wu can be improperly called by name but still activated.
The Ring of the Nine Dragons is possibly inspired by Draupnir, a magic gold ring from Norse mythology with the ability to multiply itself: Every ninth night, eight new rings 'drip' from Draupnir, each one of the same size and weight as the original.
