		The Qilin has, according to some sources, "the body of a deer, the tail of an ox, the hooves of a horse, a body covered with the scales of a fish, and a single horn." That's the origin of the term "Chinese unicorn".
		However, the Qilin is also often portrayed as having the antlers of a deer - this is a mix-up with the Chinese dragon (long), which does have antlers.
		The commentary says that the Qilin originally didn't have scales and had the fur of a normal deer, but when the fur was commonly painted in a scale-like pattern, the Qilin slowly developed into an animal with fish scales.
