One of my favorite mythical creatures. The Qilin or Kirin as most commonly known. Asian Unicorn... ur mom... whatever.

Actually was one of my second choices instead of the panther for a familiar.

I also noticed I had lots of blues in my gallery lately, and I love warm colors. Reds, golds, browns... <3!!!

"The Qilin (Chinese: 麒麟; pinyin: qílín; Wade-Giles: ch'ilin), also spelled Kylin, or Kirin (Japanese and Korean) is a mythical hooved Chinese chimerical creature known throughout various East Asian cultures, and is said to appear in conjunction with the arrival of a sage. It is a good omen that brings rui (Chinese: 瑞; pinyin: ruì; roughly translated as "serenity" or "prosperity"). It is often depicted with what looks like fire all over its body."
