	Ki-lin are rare and can only be summoned under certain conditions. One known condition is [[monastic lich]]es summoning them "under duress." They can also be summoned by [[Sheruvian monk]]s using the same methods. They are much more likely to be summoned against a group. Although the horns are not exceptionally valuable at furriers, they are highly sought after by players. Ki-lin are considered [[extraplanar]] beings.

	The describe verb does not provide the description above from the website, which probably came from the Rolemaster bestiaries for ki-rin. It only says: ~~"You have never seen anything quite like a ki-lin, so you are not really sure what to make of it or how dangerous it might be."~~		The describe verb does not provide the description above from the website, which probably came from the Rolemaster bestiaries for ki-rin. It only says:

			"You have never seen anything quite like a ki-lin, so you are not really sure what to make of it or how dangerous it might be."

			However, Spirit Beast ki-lins exist, and have the following description that might provide a clue to the appearance of their living brethren:

			"The ki-lin appears to be a Spirit Beast. The near-mythical beast is a creature with downy white fur and an improbably long horn that would be as white as the freshly driven snow, if it were not stained darkly with blood. Frayed remains of a saddle cling haphazardly to its back, a thunderous warning to anyone that the creature is not, in fact, a pretty, pretty unicorn."

 ==Behind the Scenes==
 They were given the Rolemaster description of Ki-rin, benevolent aerial creatures, who resided high in the air and rarely came down to earth. This may have also been intentional, being even more impossible. Ki-lin proper resembled greyhounds with a stag's head, and were creatures of absolute freedom. It is not clear that either of them would have originally been considered extra-planar beings, unless the ki-lin teleportation powers were planar like some of [[Uthex Kathiasas|Uthex's]] minions. Interestingly, [[Sheruvian harbinger|harbingers]] were supposed to ride black unicorns, but those of [[Sheru]] used [[nightmare steed]]s.
