The myths say they appear in an are where there is a wise and just leader and Parish did turn up around the same time that Scott became an Alpha despite the Neamaton being revived. Qilin are also known to bring an aura of calm to those around them and Parish has done that with a few people. They are also known to protect the innocent and turn fierce when innocent lives and threatned. There have been a few times that has happened in the show. In some depictions the Qilin is shown with parts of its body bathed in fires and in unharmed by it. qilin is very unprobable, in my opinion, because it is singularly associated with the earth element in chinese culture/mythology and not fire. accoarding to traditional chinese mythos all the points you made actually related to most celestial beasts (which is what a qilin is). there's also the fact that it makes very little sense for chinese mythos to come into play at this point in the series when parrish is not chinese and nothing related to chinese mythos has ever been referenced in the series. Thanks for the opinion. But I must point out we don't know how supernatural genetics work. Derek did say some members of his family were human and some real life genetic traits can go dormant for years and pop back up later. Whose to say its not true hear.

I was just trying to offer a different opinion since the consenses seems to be phoenix, dragon or salamander.

I mean for all I know he could be a Garuda or Mongolian Death worm but until season 5 all we can do is guess.
