Kirin mount guide question..

Hello,
I thought that Kirin was based on eastern dragon tradition, am I wrong? :eek:

Maybe translation mistake?

Have you looked at their face?

Right. It's usually described a as a cloven creature of draconic features.

Random note; it's also referred to as a Chinese unicorn.

No, that is correct. A creature like that exists in mythology, it's just the fact that lions have always been so widespread and obviously native all over Japan, the appearance doesn't match what we call lions. :D But yeah. It's only confusing for us.

(Also: be glad the mount's not a giraffe. Though maybe that would be more interesting than "yet another horse".)
