The half-kirin unicorn by HareTrinity on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

"He's just too perfect... Are you sure he's ours?"
"Well, given the events a couple of days ago, I'd say we can be pretty sure that he's mine at any rate."
"So... Who's the father?"
"Heh, just some idiot who stuck with me even though we both wanted a baby and everypony knows that kirin-unicorn couples can't do that."
"Sounds like a smart guy to stick with you, baby or not."
"Yeah, well, that 'smart' charmer is currently doubting that this little spitting image is his son!"
"Well, those aren't my scales, nor my horn colour! Looks like he's got a bit of your nirik side in him, too..."
"Hopefully that balances out..."
"I'm sure he'll be perfect."

After kirins finally became canon, I thought all the "Sombra's a kirin" theorists would be leaping on the red horns, bushy manes, nose-scales, and (occasionally) gas-leaking-eyes stuff as pretty much cementing that theory. That didn't happen, so here's my tribute to the theory!

EDIT: Someone's pointed out that, in the flashback of his first banishment, you can see the snout-'scales' are part of the helmet. Oh well! Maybe that was just him embracing his kirin heritage?
