The Myth
Kraisorn Karwee is a fantastic creature combining the features of a cow and a lion. It generally has the head of a cow and the body of a lion.
Some depictions give Kraisorn Karwee a single horn, the body of a lion, and the tail of a horse. It resembles the related Singha Karwee, another creature combining an ox and a lion, but Singha Karwee is distinguished by its lack of the horse-like tail.
