Real World[]
The Ki-Lin (Kirin in Japanese, Qilin in Chinese) is a fearsome-looking creature, but only punishes wicked people, it is also a pet of Chinese gods.
In Japanese art, it looks more deer-like, which is how it is depicted in Escape from Weird World. In it's native China, its look differs from era to era, and even region to region, but most statues have the Quilin looking like either a big cat or a dragon.
