The unicorn is a graceful horse-like creature of purest white, bearing a single spiraled horn of ivory on its brow and cloven hooves like a deer. It haunts the oldest forests, almost never seen, and suffers no evil to despoil its grove. Though gentle to the innocent, it charges intruders with lowered horn, goring and trampling, and can vanish among the trees in a blink. Its horn is famed as a ward against poison and a token of healing.

Behavior

  • Roams a guarded woodland territory and drives out trespassers
  • Charges with its horn, then follows with slashing hooves
  • Flees or teleports short distances to break pursuit
  • Tolerates only those it judges pure of intent

Abilities

  • Goring Charge. A running thrust of the horn that impales heavily.
  • Blink Step. Vanishes and reappears a short distance away to escape or reposition.
  • Purity Ward. Its horn neutralizes poisons and lends healing virtue.
  • Fey Senses. Detects approaching creatures and ill intent from afar.

Drops & Crafting

  • Horn (powerful anti-venom and healing reagent, rare and prized)
  • Pure white hair for fine cord and talismans
  • Hooves for alchemical preparations
  • *(Note: a heavy moral cost is implied for harvesting; best gathered from a naturally shed horn)*
