Al-mi'raj (Islamic)

Al-Mi'raj or Almiraj is a mythical creature resembling a one-horned hare or rabbit, mentioned in medieval Arabic literature. The name appears in a version of the legend of Iskandar who, after defeating the dragon of Dragon Island in the Indian Ocean, obtained the animal as a gift from the inhabitants. The creature is also said to cause all animals that sets sight on it to flee.

This beast is said to resemble a yellow hare (or rabbit with a single black horn. All the wild beasts fled at the sight of it and the islanders made a gift of it to Iskandar (Alexander the Great) after he helped kill a dragon (or large serpent) which had been eating the livestock.
