Kirin

## Base Stats

### Adult

It is a Reaper Dragon that, along with other Reaper Dragons, brings order everywhere.

It is closely connected to the dragons of the four directions. It is in charge of balancing the East, West, South and North. When the balance is disrupted, it appears in light and emits light from its body. The golden horn on its forehead is an ornament that is given to the Tamer it recognized. It stays away from killing and does not kill others easily.

## Story

### Obangshin Story

The gods were gathered once a year to talk about the direction they rule.

This year, it was the turn to gather to the north.

But Hyeonmu did not appear for a long time, and Blue Dragon began to get angry.

"I told you, Hyeonmu would definitely be late! This is the being who rules the North... I'd rather be in charge of the North!"

Jujak stated while listening to Blue Dragon.

"Don't say things you can't keep, Blue Dragon. The East is the weakest of the four directions. Can you really take charge and rule the North?"

"What?!"

The Baekho yawns and watched Blue Dragon and Jujak.

"What Jujak said is right, Blue Dragon... Ugh! Jujak, don't come closer! Your flame will burn my fur!"

"My fireworks are not that strong, Baekho! Are you going that sensitive?"

"What?!"

This time, Baekho and Jujak began to argue.

While the three dragons were bickering with each other, in the distance, Hyeonmu was running towards them.

"I'm sorry! I was so upset that I was so upset today."

Three dragons who fought each other joined their voices and shouted at Hyeonmu.

"Hyeonmu, you should have come early!!!"

As the sounds of the four directions of gods fighting echoed across the sky, Kirin watching them from above the clouds shook its head from side to side.

Kirin, who had been watching them fighting just by meeting, exhaled a big sigh.

"Those are the dragons that rule the four directions..."

Kirin suddenly appeared in the center of the four directions on a cloud.

Surprised by the sudden appearance of Kirin, the gods stopped fighting and knelt in front of it.

"I have come to speak to you today."

At that word, the dragons got up one by one and waited for Kirin.

Kirin took a deep breathe and shouted loudly to them.

"Please stop fighting!"

At the loud voice of Kirin, the sky shook.

"If those who are supposed to protect the four directions are fighting each other. How can the creatures living in the four directions live comfortably?"

After seeing the Gods of the Four Directions unable to say anything, Kirin continued speaking.

"Blue Dragon, please speak with understanding. Jujak! Now is not the time to laugh. Remember that strength is not everything. Baekho, you must control your own mind well. Hyeonmu, you already know that you have to have a considerate heart."

They only nodded at Kirin's words.

"I will appear in front of you again the moment your hearts become one. Remember everything I said."

Kirin disappeared after saying its last words.

After that day, Kirin watched the dragons ruling the four directions around more closely.

## Evolution

### Egg

It is an egg with golden horns.

There are a golden horns on the top of the egg. It symbolizes the giraffe of the Kirin that keeps the balance of everywhere. These horns never fall from the egg and are said to fall only in front of the recognized person.

### Hatch

It feels the energy of the four directions from the time of hatching.

When Kirin is young, it is very weak, so it has a lot of time to sleep on the clouds. However, it is weakly connected to the dragons that protects the four directions, and when one of the sides is in danger, it wakes up.

### Hatchling

This Hatchling comes down the clouds when there is a problem with the gods.

Kirin, which is strong enough to relax in the clouds, is more closely linked to the dragons that protect the four directions of the world. It can feel energy everywhere, so it flies emitting bright light from its body and flies towards the direction of help on a cloud.

### Adult

It brings order everywhere.

It gives its golden horn to the Tamer who will defend the sides of the world. Tamer with the golden horn of Kirin can be with Kirin for a long time. It does not kill, not wanting to take a life away, and it does not kill its natural enemies. The life of Kirin is known to be very long.

## Trivia

The harmony of Blue Dragon, Jujak, Baekho, and Hyeonmu needed for Kirin's summoning is a reference to the Eastern concept of the Four Guardians, repesenting the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise respectively. Kirin (Qilin, in Chinese) is the yellow dragon of midsummer that represents the element of earth and the center of the cardinal directions. Like Kirin in Dragon Village Collection, its depictions often borrow parts from various beasts, such as a mane, hooves, antlers, and scales.
