I JUST learned about a mythical creature (thanks to the Skin Deep comic) called the Al-mi’raj and I wanted to share. It’s a unicorn horned rabbit!
It might make a good smooth pebble critter one day. Perhaps with a baby kirin’s horn.
Anyways, I thought it was neat to finally see WHAT all the horned rabbits in my Dragon Quest games were based on. 😀 It’s just a cool experience to find out the origin/background of something you’re familiar with. Gives it a whole new layer of meaning and depth. -laughs- Sorry, I’m geeking out and wanted to share.
It’s also possible the rabbit from ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail’ was based on this creature. SO cool!

On the subject of little known mythical creatures, have you heard of the Rhinelander hodag?

Until the moment you mentioned it, I had not! 😉 Just looked it up though. Hoo, it’s grouchy looking!

😀 Some of the best games! The characters are so memorable. And they’re always bright and humorously lively. In a lot of ways much more fun than the more…angsty? Final Fantasy characters. Though I enjoy them too.
