Trivia

• The vorquin are based on the qilin, a Chinese mythical creature that resembles a hybrid between a dragon and a horse and is sometimes known colloquially in the west as a "Chinese unicorn". The vorquin model is internally named "kirin", which is the Japanese and Korean name for the qilin. They are the fourth Warcraft creature to be based on the qilin, after the quilen, the [Swift Windsteed], and the cloudstriders.
• Their model originally looked slightly different during the Dragonflight beta, with lighter horn textures, longer ears, and different snout and eye textures.
