Unicorn

Unicorns are a type of hooved animal found in Caldos and rumored to have once ranged in Fayos.

Appearance
Unicorns come in two types: the smaller, more goat-like type and the larger more horse-like type. They are thus called the Lesser and Greater Unicorn. The Lesser Unicorn resembles a goat in build, with cloven hooves and long shaggy coats. The Lesser Unicorn stands to about the height of a five year old, about three to four feet and can weigh around two hundred pounds. The horn of the Lesser Unicorn is twisted and somewhat crooked, confused often for the horn of a goat or antelope. It sprouts from the center of the forehead. The head and eyes of the Lesser Unicorn resemble a goat's. They range in color from white to black, many being grey. The blood of the Lesser Unicorn is caustic and its meat is inedible to humans.

The Greater Unicorn is more closely in shape to a donkey. It has hooves without a clove, rounded pupils, and a solid sturdy body. They stand between four and five feet tall and can weigh upwards of seven hundred pounds. The horn sprouts from the middle of the forehead and can reach two feet in length, curling always to the right. The Greater Unicorn is often striped, being white with black striped on the ridge of the body and back. They are more aggressive than the Lesser Unicorn, running in herds of thirty to seventy and engaging in violent kicking and biting of herdmates. The blood of the Greater Unicorn is caustic and the meat is inedible to humans.
