Mythical beast in medieval Arabic literature
Al-Mi'raj or Almiraj (Arabic: ٱلْمِعْرَاج; al-miʿrāj) is a mythical creature resembling a one-horned hare or rabbit, mentioned in medieval Arabic literature. The name appears in a version of the legend of Iskandar who, after defeating the dragon of Dragon Island in the Indian Ocean, obtained the animal as a gift from the inhabitants. The creature is also said to cause all animals that set sight on it to flee. The creature also appears nameless, is given other variant names, or situated elsewhere, depending on the text or manuscript source.
