Kirin
The Kirin is said to glow a faint blue, but so few have seen it that details are scarce. It is apparently capable of calling forth lightning at will. Kirin material is very valuable.
A monster of the Elder Dragon class that can be seen in places like the Snowy Mountains and the Tower. It is known for its shining white body and mane. A tough monster that toys with hunters through quick movements and strikes hard with countless lightning bolts.
