Not familiar with any of them except for the Lung Ying Mor Kiu set which is outlined in a book of the same name and Lung Ying is often associated with Pak mei stylists.

There is a dragon form in 5 animals and the dragon shape is within many styles of sil lum (shaolin) kungfu as well as others.

The wudang and emei (omei) versions I am completely unfamiliar with. I believe others may know about these here and leave it to them.

Hsing I (xingyi) also has a dragon shape within it's curriculum. It is similar in flavour and shape to the Lung Ying material and likely has a shared root.

In the style I practice, Dragon is an embodiment of other shapes and becomes it's own shape via that path.

In qigongs, Dragon is found everywhere in the techniques and shapes.

I've been a practitioner of Hsing-I since '02 and trained in Lung Ying for a short while and actually they have nothing whatsoever in common. Hsing-I tends to use a more "open-body" method of movement and Lung Ying a more "closed-body" method. Even the Lung Hsing of Hsing-I has no relation either in it's basic outward form or in it's body method to anything that I encountered in the Lung Ying system...
