Notes

General Notes
  • Kirin has no roar. No need for Earplugs.
  • Kirin ranked 39th place in the Top Monster competition during Monster Hunter's 20th Anniversary.[1]
Monster Hunter: World
  • Kirin is the only Elder Dragon in Low Rank. Its quest is also not story-required, making it easy to miss for new players.
    • Monster Hunter World: Iceborne
  • When caught in a Turf War with Rajang, Kirin will lose and always get its horn broken. If already broken, Rajang slams Kirin against the ground.
    • Rajang's fur temporarily turns golden after eating the horn, but goes back to normal if Rajang wasn't already enraged.
  • A special variation of Kirin with a shattered horn exists in a one-time special assignment in Hoarfrost Reach.
  • Kirin appears in Rajang's intro.
    • Monster Hunter Online
  • Kirin has a cutscene in Snowy Mountains where it defends itself against a Rajang. Kirin displays strange teleportation powers, and escapes Rajang's laser.
    • Miscellaneous
  • Rajang's cutscene in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne uses motion capturing. Kirin is a thrown-together contraption of a tied up blanket with a plastic bottle horn, ramming into the human actor (Rajang).
