    Unpopular opinion but i always loved and admired Kirin in every game,it's a crime that it didn't appear in Rise now that Chammy also returned. It fitted the Japanese theme perfectly. Hope it returns in SunBreak alongside the beautiful Oroshi Kirin. Fits the European medieval theme as well because it's a unicorn?

    It's interesting to note that (as far as I know) Kirin is the only monster that is a direct reference, with an unchanged name ("Kirin" is the Japanese version of "Qilin"), to a mythological creature.
    It's also baffling that our favourite pony isn't in MHRise despite the Asian setting and focus on riding.

    I just beat this guy for the first time in Worldborne. Having come from Rise, I was rather excited to see that elder dragons still scared off all of the smaller monsters. It was even better that an unnatural thunderstorm was brewing in the area, which didn't happen in the old gen games. They just improved the fight in subtle ways - making the horn much sturdier, making him limp when weak...

    I wonder if Capcom ran out of ideas for a monster like this. Cause if you ask me, Kirin looks more a My Little Pony antagonist than an Elder Dragon (and yes, I was once a Brony during the mid to late 2010s).
    Yes, qilins apparently have a “dragon head” for a body part, but even then Kirin is nothing more than a lightning elemental unicorn…
