The Al-mi'raj is a mythical beast from Islamic poetry said to live on a mysterious island within the confines of the Indian Ocean. It is a large, yellow rabbit with a single, two foot long, black, spiraling horn protruding from its forehead, much like a unicorn. Despite its docile basis, the bunny has a furious temperament. The hare also has an immense appetite and can devour other living things several times its size without effort.
Its name appears as several spellings and way, generally truncated such as Mi'raj or just Miraj. Its name is also synonymous with Muhammad's ascent into heaven.
It has been adapted into Dungeons & Dragons, where it retains its fierce, predatory temperament and ability to bring down creatures far more powerful than its rabbit-like appearance would indicate. [1]
