<[Physiology: Kirin resembles a unicorn, though a closer look reveals that it has a lion-like face and is covered in scales, rather than a coat.
The Kirin had a mane of fur as well as a bushy tail tip. Tufts of fur run down its shoulders and above its hoofs. The Kirin has black stripe-like markings along its sides and legs. The beast has crimson colored eyes.
Its majestic white mane and hair stand on end, as if charged with static. The monster often crackles with stray electricity.
<[Abilities: Kirin can summon lightning to strike attackers or the area around it.
When the Kirin is threatened or provoked, it can wreath itself in lightning, which is proven to harden its hide.
Kirin has very few physical attacks and relies mostly on lightning strikes as its main force of attacking foes. With extreme agility, Kirin can literally run circles around its opponent, getting in close to gore an enemy with its horn, only to quickly dart away and prepare another assault.
Kirin is very mobile and can jump and run incredible distances in short amounts of time.
<[Behavior: Kirin appears to be relatively peaceful and passive, yet it is quite capable of launching a powerful barrage of lightning attacks on its foes.
