Just because it has a horn in the middle of its head it doesn't mean it is a unicorn. No wonder, it's a mangadods + heroz project...

@Tesla @isoujiX 麒麟 (Qilin/Kirin (Japan)) it's a mythical creature that is akin of a Chimera. Often times it's translated to English as "Unicorn" (there are depictions of Qilins that only have one horn). In any case, it should've been translated as One-horned Qilin. Anyways, it's better off using its Chinese name to avoid any kind of confusion (who needs TL notes anyways?).

@Tesla no, there aren't. I was taking a jab at the Translators for skipping stuff like this.

@isoujiX You could say that, although, it's a hella weird Unicorn (having pieces of different monsters and stuff) :p

It’s never too late to learn a piece of Chinese mythology : D
Especially considering it appears in other works as well. You’re very likely to encounter it if you look into eastern fantasy, since it’s considered a mythical creature that’s close to the level of dragons or phoenixes.

Its appearance is quite reminiscent of a chinese dragon, but on four legs imo.

The biggest problem with translating it as an unicorn is that, well... it doesn’t always have one horn.

You can see the rest of the lore here.

How the heck is that a Unicorn? That's a Qilin.

It's like calling a thunderbird a harpy. They're from different mythology sets and refer to entirely different creatures.
