SAVES:

The al-mi'raj generally roams pastures and woodlands but is sometimes discovered in dungeons.
Its lair is usually a small cave just below ground.

The creature resembles a large yellow hare with a long (11/2'-2') black
horn protruding from the center of its forehead, resembling
that of a unicorn. In melee it will stab with its horn, its nimbleness
giving the horn damage potential of a dagger (1-4 HP of
damage.)

Its intellect is severely limited and its behaviour unpredictable -- for
instance it may well attack for no good reason. If it is captured alive
when young, the beast shows a surprising aptitude for training and
its fearlessness makes it a useful companion.

The al-mi'raj has a particularly acute sense of smell and sharp eyesight. <notes: DSG/WSG>
