the funny answer is he's appropriating welsh for the ~aesthetic~ (he isn't even from the country that occasionally has vaguely east asian aesthetics which makes this funnier)
my real musings are: if i had to hazard a guess, mhyk uses a lot of european fantasy staples for much of the surface level stuff, but it also blends in some distinctly eastern attitudes/concepts, so it tries to be somewhat cosmopolitan. that said, the choice of using a visually chinese dragon who is a literal dragon guy from chinese mythology holding a magic item from buddhist myth but giving him a welsh name and literally having him make his home in The Western Country feels extremely intentional. to what end i'm still pondering. Cosmopolitan (advanced)?
