Ki-rin

Official Wiki: https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Ki-rin

Ki-rin were a race of celestial animals native to Kultar. Their appearance was similar to unicorns, but with golden scales instead of fur. They would fly across the land striking down evil and spreading good fortune. In 4198 SE, when the Iktan invaded at the start of the Antrexis War, the Ki-rin were the first ones to fight back. They were quickly slaughtered, with the Stone Lion capturing one as a mount. Those that survived fled to nearby landmasses where, meeting cultures unfamiliar with their celestial nature and goodwill, they were hunted as prized game. Their numbers slowly dwindled until the last Ki-rin was believed to be captured in 4441 on Imsk. The Pameniff Institute of Zoology declared the species extinct in 4491. The only remnants of the species are Kri, the goddess of maternity and child rearing, and Skullcrusher, the undead corpse of the creature the Stone Lion captured.
