WHICH WOULD YOU SMASH?
Ki-rin
Giff
On the left, the Ki-rin! A 13 ft (4 m) long celestial stag-dragon-unicorn thing. It can spawn pillows and blankets and beds just by thinking, create food and water, heal wounds and disease, cast 6th-level major illusions at will to make the area look/smell/sound/etc however you want, spawn music and change the lighting and even control the weather! While this one is more unicorn in shape, there are ones with more horns or antlers or a more draconic shape! Even being within a few miles of them suppresses disease and curses and even fall damage, and causes creatures and plants to start turning into thier best self from sheer good vibes.
On the right, the Giff are 8 ft (2.4 m) tall hippofolk with surprising dexterity and grace. And of course are good at knocking people over, as if you needed me to say that. While they do love a good tussle, they're surprisingly calm overall. They always keep thier word, they love travelling and explosions, and despite the outfit they actually don't want to be an empire. They believe everything has a place and theirs is to follow orders, which is why they work as mercenaries. They don't even care about money. Thier ideal setup is just being given food, thier own room, and clear instructions in line with their interests (explosives, tussling, travelling).
