Description This next set of creatures I worked on was based on a fiery lizard, and it comes in 2 forms: Red and Yellow. This red form transforms into a creature based on the Japanese Unicorn (kirin) while the Yellow form (not pictured here, will post later maybe) transforms into something based on the Chinese Dragon. (also put a light background to attempt to get rid of that black preview background)

---Red Chinlarin---
Chinlarins are small legendary dragons only obtainable though breeding a ghost dragon and fire dragon together. Red Chinlarin are fire breathers but are very weak when they hatch, so they depend heavily on the ability to disappear to avoid attacks from predators. Chinlarins prefer rain forests, where they can roast fruit and nuts without fear of burning down the entire forest. Their mane also slightly glows in the dark and so they are interesting to watch after sunset.

---Kikirin---
Red Chinlarins transform into Kikirins when they are strong enough to fend for themselves without having to go invisible. They are much more graceful in this form and can float through the air without having to use wings. The blue colored areas of their body glow brightly at night, and can emit a white haze that settles over the surrounding area. Despite their ghostliness, these creatures are quite friendly and wild Kikirins are known to give lost people rides through the rain forest.

Monsters designed and sprited by me.
