Related races

The Nightmares (and Night Stallions) are the very dangerous, inbred and evil "cousins" of Unicorns. They have fiery manes and leave flaming hoofprints where they run. Like Bicorns, Nightmares might have twi horns.

Usage

Probably all parts of a Unicorns are possible to use in magical crafting and alchemy, which is certainly a contributing factor in unicorns being so rare today. However, as the magical creatures disappeared after being hunted as alchemical ingredients, they have been replaced with other ingredients that are much easier to obtain and to use, like Sage’s Grass that was specifically bred for this purpose.

So far mentioned have been:

• Unicorn hair as an alchemical ingredient.
• Unicorn hair and horns as a core material for magical wands.
• Unicorn horns as a core for a Golem’s Heart, so that it can produced mana for itself.
• Unicorn testicles as an alchemical ingredient.

Trivia

• There are Unicorns living in Avalon.
• Unlike Dragons, no weapons tailored to kill Unicorns have been made.
