Description:
These fierce, noble beasts shun contact with all but sylvan creatures (dryads, pixies, and the like), showing themselves only to defend their woodland homes. Unicorns are powerful equines with gleaming white coats and deep sea-blue, violet, brown, or fiery gold eyes. A single ivory-colored horn grows from the center of their forehead. Lone unicorns occassionally allow themselves to be tamed and ridden by good human or elven maidens of pure heart. Such a unicorn, if treated kindly, is the maiden's loyal steed and protector for life, even accompanying her beyond its forest. A unicorn's horn is reknowned for its healing properties. Evil and unscrupulous beings sometimes hunt a unicorn for its horn, which can fetch up to 2,000 gp, for use in various healing potions and devices. Most good creatures refuse to traffic in such things.
