Information on New Animals!
I saw that uo.stratics.com posted something about the new animals.
...Several readers have submitted information about the ki-rin that has been discovered in the new land Ilshenar. This beast is also known in various card games and in AD&D. Various sources describe it as follows:- A type of unicorn, a winged horse with one horn on it's forehead.
- A flaming or golden, good-aligned horse which protects from evil.
- Mythical Japanese creatures. The male has a mane like a lion, their heads have unicorn type horns and their bodies have scales like a fish.
- Japan[e]se and/or Taiwanese beer :).
- It's an imaginary creature that is part horse and part dragon. The male is called "Ki", and the female is called "Rin". It is capable of flying, and sparks of lightning shoot out from its hooves. Kirin live for 1000 years and are considered good luck.
The original article is here.
