“ It runs upon the wind, It dances on the storm clouds, It sings like a bird. ” —The Kirin, haiku The kiminari kirin is a distant relative of the unicorn and the storm dragons, they generally range in fantastic bright cooling colors like teals, azure blues, platinum whites, silver and or bright purples. A fantastic beast which rides on storm clouds and across the night sky of a full moon. They have one central horn like a unicorn and antlers like a caribou, the body similar to a horse with scales like a dragon and the tail of a dragon. They have wild fantastic manes of bright platinum white, silver or gold. They wander the world's eternally free with the Winds but they also enjoy finding the most isolated and secluded forests and taigas of the north and sleeping upon the trees. These fantastic beasts can serve as great allies and mounts, and a hero who has one as a mount is the envy of an entire kingdom or empire. They are wise and give council at times but they also love to whistle like birds, speak to forest beasts and sing folk songs or ask riddles. They are incredibly curious creatures by nature. Generally, kiminari kirin are wild wanderers but they are also incredibly noble creatures and will come to the aid of distraught beasts and peasants after they have saved the helpless victims they will gladly take any small token of appreciation but then leap into the clouds and vanish back to their wild whimsical journey across the world. When angered the kiminari kirin flies into a noble vengeance with lightning striking its enemies and it heroically charges into its foes, kicking and goring its foes. Most enemies are left charred corpses and suffer grievous burns and injuries from the Kirin and flee. Since the kirin has a sense of honor he might let honorable foes flee with their life like mountain tigers and cave bears. The people of Tian'Yang view these beasts as divine entities from the heavens and guardians of the downtrodden and poor. But some kirin are also evil or neutral and uncaring and their colors change to dark reds, greens or violets, sometimes even shimmering black. These kiminari kirin are corrupted and generally serve evil sorcerers, tyrants and bloodthirsty pirates.
