The ki-rin, A, is an angelic being in NetHack. It is often a candidate for a player's steed (if they manage to tame one - difficult due to its high magic resistance) due to its high speed, power, and ability to fly. A ki-rin steed will never buck you despite a worn ring of conflict due to the way monster level enters the workings of monster magic resistance (unless you level drain it below 15).

Any non-knight should count on a charmed ki-rin going wild (peaceful) after mounting, kicking or whipping it five times.
