Description

What did i just draw? Well, it's a Kirin, also known as a Ki'ilin, Chi'ilin, Quirin, etc.
Sometimes referred to as the offspring of a dragon and a racehorse, the kirin was a creature of great wisdom in japan. It was especially important in political history, for some of japan's greatest leaders were said to be chosen by the Kirin. One tale tells of a woman who was given a jade coin by one, and was told that her son would be a thronless king. She gave birth to Confucious, himself.

Kirin would occasionally show up in important court cases, and impale the guilty party so that there can be no punishing of the innocent.
