The Ki-Rin

General Information

The Ki-Rin is a creature of good, much like the Unicorn. It can be tamed and used as a mount, but only by males. It will not let females ride it, but they can command it once it is tame if they get a male to tame it for them. Since the Ki-Rin is a creature of good it will attack anything with negative karma that crosses its way, that includes both players and monsters. While its melee skills are somewhat weak compared to those of a nigtmare, its magic attack is quite fierce and makes it well worth the taming attempts. If the rider of a Ki-Rin gets hurt in battle, the Ki-Rin will at one point call down the forces of nature on the opponent, thereby causing a massive chainlightning spell to do a substantial amount of damage to whatever is attacking the rider. Here's some background info on this creature: A "Ki-Rin" is a winged horse of Japanese folklore that lived in paradise, only appearing in the mortal realm when a "Sesin", or wise man, was born. They embody the four elements (earth, fire, wind, water) and, in some accounts, have the ability to breathe fire. The "Male, Female" hybrid creature you depicted is known as a "Ki-Lin, Ky-Lin, or Qi-Lin" and in Chinese mythology it is a creature that was the most perfect of all land animals, with the head of a dragon bearing a single horn, the mane of a lion, the body of a stag, and the tail of an ox. Ky is the male and Lin is the female, embodying the balance of the Chinese ying-yang. It only appeared when a great Emperor was at power, or to herald the birth of a great person. The Ky-Lin was the symbol of benevolence, good will, and fertility, and it was the elemental corresponding to earth. Although the descriptions of the "Ki-Rin" and "Ki-Lin" are inconsistent, they both seem to perform the same function of herald and elemental spirit. Whether or not they were the same creature, seen from two differing cultural perspectives, is a matter for the scholars to debate.

Once i lost connection in a fan dance and my Ki-rin kill 1 fd with no healing training Submitted by Anonymous on November 28th 2008. This guy are alsome i train my on ant loin while farm sketons on them they rockkk Cool! Submitted by Anonymous on February 21st 2007. These things may not have the looks of a fire steed, or the menace if a nightmare, but they rock. Literally. If you fight one o' these killer machines against a Fire steed, who do you think will win? a fire steed? wrong. If your in the fire dungeon and just let them run around, when yiu log back on they will be with you-ALIVE. These things rock. -Noble Phoenix(Lake Superior) Decent.. Submitted by Anonymous on February 9th 2007. These are good pets, but a mare is still superior. These guys have more mana than mares, but they don't hit quite as hard and have lower HP. For a fresh tame, these guys can probably beat a mare, but a trained mare is still better. If you go to the spirituality moongate, and head to the forest in the north, you can find literally around 20 of these guys. They would be pretty nice for training taming. Good Submitted by Anonymous on November 24th 2006. one time i was out trying to tame a dragon and i got injured and it hit it with a litning bolt the dragon also got posionded so hopefully you will fall in love with these as much as i did Killer pet.... Submitted by Anonymous on July 19th 2006. I have 1 I use all the time, and absolutely adore it. Recently it became GM magery, and since it had GM maditaion, it is a near continued magic attacks. It kills 0 to 60 in nothing flat. I have taken it out to kill the Ophidian invasion, I had to leave it behind fighting while I collected bandages, when I got back about 5 minutes later, it was still happily opening kegs of whoopass on them. Absolutely awesome once trained up to a decent level (85 and up). Ki-Rin Submitted by Anonymous on January 25th 2006. The ki-rin can also be found in the desert near umbra. Note Submitted by Anonymous on November 7th 2005. any training tames who go to grimswind ruins to tame one here are words of advice. 1. have enough magery to cast mark, even if you have a rune there is a better place to tame these. 2 bring a friend, warrior, pali,mage of even bard with POSSITIVE KARMA! 3.run through the ruins till you find a break where one goes west and one north (acording to radar map) take the north path and go till you see a fountain, this is the best taming spot (rairly any gore feinds or fleshies) mark a rune at the fountain and begin taming your Ki-rins. after you've made rune you can pretty much go there byself, since the unicorns and ki-rins kill gorefeinds. another note: at that spot only one uni spawns as well as one ki-rin. so if taming more, recal out then come back in. advice DON"T bring a ki-rin with you when using the weaken taming method (ie lowering a ww's health to tame easier, this is a mith, all it does is lower dragon's breath damage and speed) if you've weakend the ww (for example) and you take some hits, your ki-rin might acutally kill it while you're mounted it, and if it's a pure, you'll hate yourself unless another spawns, good luck :> Great for Training Taming! Submitted by Anonymous on July 8th 2005. Great to get your tameing up even to 110! I used them by equipping a +8 taming bracelet when I was at 87 taming, then, once my taming had risen, took off the bracelet to get faster gains again :) Very nice Submitted by Anonymous on March 12th 2005. When freshly tamed, has much more magery than a nightmare. 7xGM Examples of Ki-rins are absoulutley lethal. Sadly rare, as Male tamers are also rare. Paradise Submitted by Anonymous on February 28th 2005. If you are a male tamer, I guarantee you will fall in love with the ki-rin. Ki-rin are the single best training for high end taming as long as you have good karma, just kick back and keep at it. Put simply, I got GM from 86 in one day because of these things. Add Comment
