Unicorns

Unicorns are equine-like horses with spiral horns. They are known for their amazing speed and agility.

Behavior
Unicorns are shy creatures who travel in herds. They are wild creatures who do not trust humans and will go out of their way to avoid them. Despite being magical creatures, unicorns have the minds of animals and like any caged animal, they will attack if threatened or frightened. Other than unicorn shapeshifters, children are the only beings who can safely approach a unicorn as their hearts are innocent. If a unicorn is separated from his or her herd, they will wander to any location they have visited before and wait there if it is peaceful in hope of the herd finding him/her.

Physical Description
Unicorns look like horses but they are much larger than the average equine. Unicorns are gleaming white in color and they glow with energy. Their perfectly straight ivory horns are a pale yellow color. Their horns are long with spiral indentations.

Powers and Abilities

 * Speed: Unicorns are nearly twice as fast as mundane horses.
 * Enhanced senses: Unicorns have extraordinary senses and could smell or hear a human from miles away. They also have a mystical sixth sense which enables them to detect whether a person's heart is pure or not.
 * Horn: Unicorns can use their horns like swords or javelins. The horn's magic makes its attacks more painful. Their horns are extremely powerful and are capable of piercing a dragon's thick hide. With one slash, a unicorn can kill a human. The horns also possess mystical abilities.
 * Healing: By touching something with their horns, unicorns can cure any disease, illness or poison. Unlike the miengu, the unicorn's horn destroys the illness rather than transfer it, thus curing the sick individual. A unicorn can only cure diseases, not flesh wounds. However, it is speculated that a ground up unicorn horn can heal physical injuries.
 * Communication: Unicorns can use their horns to help them search for their herds if they are separated from their fellow unicorns.
