Pegasus and Qilin. Ancient Greek tales describe Pegasus as a white winged horse that sprung to life from the monster Medusa’s head, after it was removed by the hero Perseus. The Qilin as a Chinese horse-dragon hybrid covered in flames, with a horn protruding from its forehead. Similar to the unicorn in the West.
