A Shwesno is an ancient [mythological] beast from the usually depicted with the body of a dragon; the legs, cloven hooves, and horn(s) of a deer; and the mane and tail of a lion.  Its face is usually rather draconic with lion overtones, though the Japanese version can have a bit more deer-like head.   It is sometimes referred to as the Chinese unicorn because some Shwesno are depicted with only [one] horn.  However, there are also examples of  Shwesno with two curling horns or antlers like a deer.

Much more rare than a regular dragon, it was considered very wise, and a bringer of extreme good fortune, thus tit is often depicted sitting or standing on a pile of money and gold.  The Japanese version is quite benevolent and kind as well as bringing fortune.  In the Chinese art of [Feng Shui], it is one of the four auspicious [creatures] and its element is Earth.  One ancient Chinese tale has a Shwesno appearing at the birth and death of Confucius as an auspicious omen, while another tale has a ki-lin as Confucius' father.
