Girafarig is based firstly on a {{wp|giraffe}} and its name is a palindrome like its Japanese name, ''Kirinriki''. In modern Japanese, 麒麟 ''kirin'' simply means giraffe, but it is also the Japanese name of {{wp|Qilin|Qílín}}, the Chinese unicorn. The Qilin was feared by criminals as it was able to detect guilt. After sensing the guilt, the Qilin would stare at the guilty party and pierce its heart. | Girafarig is based firstly on a {{wp|giraffe}} and its name is a palindrome like its Japanese name, ''Kirinriki''.
