5th edition says unicorns are celestials not fey. this is just the only time iv been turned off by one of your videos. it really seems like your not using current information for this making it way less helpful then all your other videos. Unicrons in 5e are created by a god and placed on the material plane it says so in the monster manual. Im sorry but so much of this video contradicts current canon on unicorns that wizards put out.
You're damn right it does, and I stand by it. WoTC is within its rights to change whatever they like, but what they are calling a unicorn in the 5E monster manual is actually the Celestial Charger (I mention them in the video), not the Sylvan Unicorn which is a fey creature of Chaotic Good alignment. I thank you for the critique Kyle, it gives me a chance to vent a little bit about some of the details that have been thrown out for no good reason (imagine how people who are used to the unicorns of every previous edition feel about this sudden fundamental change?)
Oh i fully agree with you about wizards changing stuff not always being the right choice. I'm in the kobolds should be dogmen camp. I wish Unicorns had the bit from mythology were if your particularly lustful your presence causes a unicorn so much pain it kills you in rage. My critique comes more from the fact that all your other videos are inline with current lore and this one either lacks a piece at the beginning saying its the one based on previous editions for clarity or i missed it. all your other videos a new player could go to adventure league with and have the right information.
You are welcome, thank you for always providing informative lore pulled from so many resources i dont think i even have half the dragon issues you pull from. Your information is always well researched and you speak at a pace and tone that makes me want to put you on autoplay everytime.
great video AJ. i find unicorns to be such a underrated creature that most dont realize how powerful and smart of a creature it truly is . i find a lot of new players think of them as just magical horses and either shun it or dont realize the amount of effort one needs to put in to have one as a mount
Stay a virgin? because being around the unpure causes them physical pain. the really lustful actually incite a blind rage in a unicorn and causes it to attack
I actually had a forest corrupted by a dark force having an evil version of fey creatures. Unicorns were among them, like pixies, brownies, and sprites. It was a horror show for my players to kill them, especially when they got to destroying the corrupting force. Every being corrupted turned back to normal... and the bodies of those the player characters have slain were still there. Mind-screw. They killed more good creatures than the corrupting force in their blunt-force invasion of the black forest. The forest revived was nearly devoid of fey life. My players created a quest to undo their damage in fixing the black forest. I'm kind of a d^ck with intrigue and twists. At least I keep it interesting and often fun. The corrupt (evil) unicorn random encounters were epic because of allies. I'm actually surprised my players survived their blunt-force version of going into the Black Forest and getting to the corrupting core. I had a strategic plan they could discover and several paths they could have taken, even investigative clues. Nope, they plowed through the path of most resistance... and won. Kudos and regrets.
I've just made my warlock, and as my patron I made it to be a super powered unicorn (my little pony inspired)... And now this video comes up. You've given me a few things to add now. Thanks!!
"Evil hearted, fully carnivorous, Unicorn ninjas".... This sentence has too much "Yes" in it to handle... -sits down- I don't smoke but I feel like I need a cigarette
The polymorphing unicorn sounds like a fun character to put in my urban campaign. Maybe the leader of a warrior monastery. I've been trying to come up with a good list of VIP citizens that one does not screw with. I've got an Ifriet living in a lighthouse, a Steel Dragon as a noble socialite, a Gold Dragon as the Field Marshal of the military, and a tabaxi, beholder, and wererat as the triumvirate leaders of the thieves guild. And I'm taking a mix of Hogwarts Teachers and Unseen University Staff Members as higher members of the Local Wizard's Tower (I figured Tower would be a good term for a collection of wizards. Like a murder of crows or a coven of witches.) Basically, when I send my players to the ball, I want to be able to unleash holy hell and confusion should anything untoward were to happen. [Insert Maniacal DM Laughter here.]
Unicorns also tend to be captured by unhappy kings with redbulls that drives them into the sea or by large red devils with massive horns and seductive voices.
The entrance to the red bull's lair is generally guarded by an undead skeleton whom players can convince to let them pass by plying him with the wine he misses so dearly.
Huh that explains a lot. One insane campaign I was in, an evil big bad managed to capture a Unicorn and well... devoured its flesh. My party were friends with this unicorn too so we all heard the summons and also everyone/everything that it helped out before were in a frenzy. Boi we all charged to avenge that mary sue unicorn of ours because the big bad was only left in chunks of meat...
Love the videos, slowly but surely making my way through all of them. I must say I LOVEEEEE the demon lords videos with the insane amount of depth you went in to and was wondering if you can do ones like it on the lords of the 9 hells
Roughly 85 years ago in Cormyr there a somewhat boom in the black markets in regard to Unicorn products, ranging from their blood, organs, hide, flesh and of course their horns, now the thing is that well these unicorns that were killed were originally a descendant line of the ones that made part of the legendary High Elven Cavalry belonging to the kingdom of Cormanthyr, based around my investigation roughly 10 or so were slain, but its got more interesting when I found several ceremonial daggers made from intact uncarved unicorn horns, handle was a form elven silver, turns out the guys behind this whole ordeal manage to stumble on one of the old tombs in which these fabled Elven Knights were buried, correction mausoleum, they managed to do dob what was left of the grave, it looks like there were roughly 30 sarcophaguses, 20 were ransacked, armor, weapons, bones, especially the unicorn ones, managed to seal it up by having a part of its main inwall collapse, but damage was done, still had enough time to take a lot of notes, drawn some pictures, translated names and stories, etc. so that should help the Cormyr Royal Academy's historical department,
Man, I miss proper unicorns. Now they've seemingly become one with the celestial charger which im not entirely a fan of. I played an Eladrin Swordmage in 4e and it was a lot of fun to play a sorta... Chaotic Good but highly militant, straight faced, bootstrap fey as a counter to the general whimsy of the fey? It was enjoyable to play this character because they didn't LIKE the feywild. They hated the _weird_ of the place, but even in their contempt of the ficalness of the realm they had an ingrained respect and admiration for the beasts, going so far as to carry one as a standard. On the prime material plane its a bit silly to pick something so... Ficticious, childish even - Her companions even though as much and mocked her incessantly about it for... About 11 levels and 8 years in-game time. The mockery came to a swift stop when the group (against her wishes) decided that it was time that I get started on my paragon path quest, so off to the feywild we went so she could learn more about shielding folks. After a protracted journey to the academy where she originally learned to fight she was allowed to speak with the founder of the academy, as all before her had done. Enter Head Master Madjalor, the Evershield. A unicorn. Essentially a mix between Sir Patrick Stewart character tropes + Sean Connery character tropes in unicorn form, the crew (and myself) are quite enthralled by his intelligence, wisdom, worldly expierence and great advice. It wasn't our first time dealing with a legendary creature, the head of the sorcerer's clan was a gold dragon and we had been doing quests for her for much of our tenure. But this was the first time it felt personal. Namely for my character, but there was definitely a "favorite" ancient npc now, he wasn't stingy with assistance or getting personally involved and readily engaged everyone in the party, even our dark pact warlock shade (though he wouldn't allow that pc within 30ft of him). That arc culminated in her retiring to learn and teach at the school for a time, since I needed to take a break from gaming for a move. During said move the crew had gotten themselves in a pickle with a hag and her formoran goons looking to dominate a living swamp and unleash it upon the wilds. I was able to Skype myself in for a session, wherein I ride in on a unicorn and seamlessly transitioned between mounted combat and foot combat in a living bog of decay with big mud fist-pillars trying to stop us. It was... Pretty fuckin _fey_ but I'm not sure what's more high fantasy than an elf wizard-warrior riding a unicorn to fight depression in geological form... -ill spare you the jokes about her "riding" unicorn horn though because he was a happily spoken for magic horse.-
I had read in xanathars that a warlock can have a Unicorn as a Patron. I had an idea to make a character whose basic backstory is that he was a bugbear chief of was considered evil even by bugbear standards. This cruel chieftain was, powerful, deviously cunning and possessed of an ego and narcissism rarely seen. As a youth, he had killed all the members of the tribe he was born into for no other reason than they knew his true name. The chief believes that names are for those who lack the strength and will to claim title and power. Once he matured he had grown to be large even by bugbear standards and possessed a natural talent for fighting and savagery that it wasn't long before he gathered his own tribe and soon became the chief of one of the strongest bugbear tribes to ever have existed. years passed and the chief's power and tribe grew in strength, but nature cares little for martial prowess, and as game grew fewer the Cheif was forced with starvation or to travel through the woods to a fabled enchanted section of forest that was sure to have plenty of game, as well as plenty of forest guardians. after weeks of slow going travel due to terrain and the insistence of the chiefs generals to bring as many of the tribe as possible to deal with the forest guardians who they would be lucky not to encounter. Alas, while on a hunt and stumbled upon an area of the forest that seemed more lush and healthy, as though it was enchanted. The chief had long ago captured a druid and after years of torture and abuse developed a kind of Stockholm syndrome toward the chief and was with them on the hunt. the chief ordered the druid to cast faerie fire and it revealed a couple of unicorn foals, pixies and other fantastical creature's. As soon as the creatures realized they were seen they became aggressive, The Tribe immediately attacked and the great battle commenced between a tribe of bugbears vsFirbolgs, treants, animals that seemed to out of nowhere, even the terrain seemed to be constantly changing. In the end, the tribe prevailed but suffered great casualties, around 2/3 of the tribe lay dead and scarcely a one escaped without a severe injury. They butchered the dead, along with the firbolgs and strange animals, the Chief himself killed the Unicorn foals himself, clawing off strips of flesh and savoring every agonizing moment of the newborns' pain. Though many of the tribe were dead, the tale of this battle and recognition the chief felt it would bring him was more than worth the loss off of those who are too weak to survive. A few days travel the chief and his tribes' survivors arrived back home and settled in for well-earned rest. As the chief laid down to sleep that night he dreamed of a great unicorn who was furious with him. The Unicorn Said " you have murdered my kin and defiled my glade. death would be too good for you, from this day forth I own you and curse you to incapable of acting on your evil nature, instead, you will be compelled to do good unless I say otherwise" when the chief awoke he noticed he had a long Unicorn Horn on his head that seemed intangible, with a sort of light around it. As well his hands seemed too always feel like they were still covered and dripping with the blood of the innocent unicorn foals. When he tried to show it to his tribe, no one could see anything, not even the druid. in anger, he went to strike the druid but found he couldn't, and instead felt a great amount of shame, along with a strange compulsion to free him. Realizing the situation, and what he was now, he knew his tribe would banish him if they found out about his affliction, or track and kill him if he tried to run. there was only one option, he poisoned the remaining members of the tribe that night and freed the captive Druid. Now the Chief wanders the lands, doing good deeds and protecting the helpless and hating every minute of it.
If I am not mistaken, Bruce Coville coined the phrase “A Glory of Unicorns.” Just like a flock of birds, a flight of dragons, a pod of dolphins, etc. Thus, a Glory of Unicorns.
Cian McCabe I think you’ll find that if you delve more deeply into the Lore of Dragons in both D&D, Fantasy Literature, and Mythology it’s a “Flight of Dragons.” I recommend the book: “The Flight of Dragons” by Peter Dickinson.
I remember this Dragon Magazine article. The fae unicorn and the carnivorous black unicorn are specific ones I recall from that issue. I also recommend the Ki-Rin (oriental unicorn-dragon-like spirit, maybe the closest thing to a dragon-unicorn hybrid I can think of), undead unicorns (I personally like to use them sorta as the old school undead knight with a circlet of mastery to enslave/free the tragic beast), and pink unicorns that are only used by the boldest of DMs.
Unicorns have this eerie feel to them. Technically their not supposed to have fully horselike faces and your supposed to be able to read it's face. The fact that there are black unicorns that eat people alive is nasty.
I'm just a lowly freeloader, enjoying your hard work without paying for it, but I have a request/suggestion for a video: the Revenant. They're a fairly unique type of undead with a lot of potential to add to your game's story, or you could just use them as an interesting side quest. You could retell "The Crow" as a high fantasy adventure! ...but keep it dark and gritty. I just don't think Eric Draven would have much appeal frolicking around as an elven bard... Sooo...yeah - do a video on Revenants!
My Archfey Warlock has made it a point to *murder* anything that so much as touches a unicorn with Ill intent. So far that number is limited to a coven of hags, but I can see it expanding in the future.
I just love this!!! However, I have a request: could you maybe "revisit" your older videos and update the subtitles? Because usually the autogenerated subtitles are not great, and at times, especially with names, I have trouble to understand what is said. In such instances it'd be great to be able to turn on the subtitles to make sure I understand it correctly. In this video, for example, you mentioned so many varieties of unicorns, but with some names I had trouble understanding, and I find it somewhat challenging to find them anywhere. I know that this is much to ask, but it'd be very helpful.
"I like to watch them. They fill me with joy. The first I felt it I thought I was going to die. I said to the Red Bull I must have them, all of them, all there are. For nothing makes me happy but their shining and their grace. So the Red Bull caught them. Each time I see the unicorns, my unicorns, it is like that morning in the woods and I am truly young, in spite of myself." - King Haggard
Always enjoy your videos man, I had no idea how many types there are. I wonder if an Alicorn's (not sure if I'm spelling it right) horn or hooves are used to make the Horseshoes of a Zephyr?
so do unicorns shed their horns like deer do antlers, or are they actual horns and permanently attached to their heads? I can see a pretty fun side story of a good-aligned party trying to follow a fey unicorn during shedding season, waiting for the thing to fall off
would think their maybe a trade regarding naturally shed unicorns if it does happen so magic users and such in need of them could get a hold of them without requiring the morale implications or possible consequences (hordes of fairies, fey/nature associated paladins clerics etc knocking on your door) of using a horn from a killed unicorn i could also their being some differences between horns shed naturally or horns from a murdered unicorn possible the magic from one or the other maybe more potent or such. maybe even some people making deals of some sort with unicorns for when they are about to shed their horn to let someone collect it or people who keep eyes out for horns that have likely been shed naturally or such to sell
@@dragonlord498 Shedding of the horns happens once every half or full century or so, and even then most of these horns are claimed by druids or rangers, along with any other disciples of Corellon Larethian, Eldath, Isis, Labelas Enoreth, Lurue, Mielikki, Mystra, Rillifane Rallathil, Sheela Peryroyl, Silvanus, Solonor Thelandira and Tymora but that being said if you do find one, well you just struck gold in one hit buddy, but age also factors in to the quality, you can tell the age by the nr. of rings inside, if it has over 30 - 50 rings it can fetch a pretty good price of 500 gold pieces perhaps 1K if its an alchemical and magical collector, but you have to be smart about it, there are black market greed driven cutthroats out there.
@@alexandarvoncarsteinzarovi3723 Since they are a material component for a piece of the most badass stealth equipment in the game: the Cloak of Elvenkind, you'd probably be better off paying to have it made into a magical item. In combination with the boots it's like christmas come early for any rogue or ranger types. Although the set does help any adventurer blend in to their environment.
I haven't bought a new dnd edition since 1983 and I still Play with ahandfull of my original nerds from c1983. The Wotc has been Corp Canon is of no interest to us, but your vids, AJ, are priceless. The depth of character development and Ecological science delivered in your videos is legit. (I have a masters degree in Ecological agriculture, So regard this approach highly). I am pleased to listen to content that is only loosely connected to the has-been trash factories wreckage of my 45 years and growing favorite hobby.
realy nice video but just imagine the "fire" unicorn stabbing into somthing but then the scent of burning flesh and hair filling the air as it's insides are seared
18:55 "A note on a particular cult, The White Horns"; I am very intrigued by this, but I literally can't locate this information anywhere. Any tips/pointers on how to locate or where I could read more into this faction?
Imagine a warlock to one of the Fey Lords that has an athame ceremonial ritualistic dagger made from a unicorn's horn that would be a pretty interesting little trinket wouldn't you say
Or a paladin with a short sword made from a silver unicorns horn with their given power against Undead or even an amulet or something carved from the horn their holy symbol for example a priest would probably get a massive bonus to their turn Undead
Good information yet again, thanks! One of my players in 3.5 is running a Paladin, and waited until 6th level to choose a mount- she went Unicorn, as well as picking up Leadership. The Unicorn is a great addition to the paladin's crusade against undead in our campaign. She ends up using the unicorn mount as a flanker (her cohort was a Cleric in her church, so more Turn Undead per day). Here are 3 variants from Wizards' website (Demon Apocalypse Unicorn, Monstrous Vampire Unicorn, and Two Headed Dark Unicorn) that were not mentioned in the video. archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/eo/20061219a I also came across a monster in one of the bestiaries that used a unicorn sacrificing its horn to dark powers (by demon/devil worshippers) that created a rage filled corrupted beast- a Spireling? Something like that, but leafing through my books at random, can't find it at the moment. The art was impressive, and I had made a mental note to use it as a possible antagonist against the aforementioned paladin/unicorn duo. The palamino, brown, and zebra-corn were from Dragon magazine? Had never seen those before.
Isn't "Turn Undead" only for people who can't fight them? (I've never used "Turning" spells tactically for anything more than a retreat or large horde CC, IDK if there are other ways to use it in battle for smaller hordes.)
"Destroying Undead If you have twice as many levels (or more) as the undead have Hit Dice, you destroy any that you would normally turn." www.d20srd.org/srd/combat/specialAttacks.htm#turnOrRebukeUndead When you're battling necromancers and their armies of Wights, Skeletons, Zombies, and Vampire Spawn (below 4HD, you only have to be 8th level to ash them for a standard action).
did a higher being create unicorns or is there some kind of unicorn god? Im mostly interested because warlocks can have Unicron patrons So I thought maybe there might be a single particularly powerful Unicorn or some super powerful celestial being who created them.
Well, according to the current monster manual, these celestial unicorns are essentially horse-angels sent by the gods to patrol enchanted forests (Sylvan glades, not the feywild I guess?) or be assigned to chosen champions. This disregards the folklore of unicorns only letting pure maidens ride them, so, these are not Sylvan unicorns, what they are depicting in the 5E MM is the Celestial Charger.
okay so there is no specifically named top unicorn, it can be basically any unicorn who could be a warlock patron. I mainly wanted to know if there was a named Unicorn at the top of power or a celestial who controlled them so I could create an evil character who through whatever scenario offended the Unicorn or deity in charge of unicorns so much that they forced the character into servitude. That despite the player character being evil the Unicorn cursed him into being compelled toward good and incapable of acting on his natural evil nature. Basically, an evil character forced into the service of a celestial and hates that he has no free will to commit evil acts and is afflicted with a curse that compels him to do good despite his cruel nature. It just seems like a really fun RP character to make. Thanks for replying by the way, appreciate it.
I recall a book (or maybe a book series) that I read 30 years ago, but I cannot remember what it was called. The main character was a mercenary knight, a very macho manly-man womanizer, whose mount was a unicorn. Everyone that he met knew that unicorns could only be ridden by virgins, so his lifestyle had everyone wondering how he could take a tavern wench to his room every night and still keep the unicorn. At one point, he clarified that biologically and physically he was still a virgin as far as the mystical bond with the unicorn counted, but that the women sure liked his 'accent.'
@@AJPickett I wish I could remember. One of my gaming buddies at the time had an extensive fantasy collection that I borrowed from periodically. But I lost contact with him years ago. But yeah, it was an awesome story idea for the unicorn rider.
Bruce Coville: “Into The Land of the Unicorns,” “Song of the Wanderer,” and all the books that lead up to “A Glory of Unicorns.” I recommend reading these novels.
May i make a recommendation/Request would love to see you cover the changelings in this series. I mean Hey it's a Player Race your missing unless i have missed something.
Well, I have talked about them a little bit in the video on Doppelgangers, but yes, there have been plenty of requests to talk specifically about the changelings.
I love the Ch.Evil. black unicorn created by the Red Wizards of Thay! It was nice to see the picture of the maiden kneeling before the unicorn from the movie Legend a favorite film of mine except for the fact that they put Tom Cruise in the movie as Jack the child of the forest.....that man had all the appeal of a scorching case of herpes! They did the same damned thing with him playing one of my favorite anti-heros of all time the vampire Lestat de Valoise de LionCourt from Anne Rices vampire chronicles......god what was the director thinking! Nice vid. and your right about them being particular about who they associate with.....my L.G. teenaged elven cavalier spent years doing good deeds in and around Hommlet a village near the ruins of the Temple of Elemental Evil,and no matter how many great deeds my character did the damned thing wouldn't so much as let me touch it!
MarvAlice yeah exactly, like "man with pointy ears, long silvery hair, walking on snow without leaving footprints" one can't really look at em and say "it is surely a local farmer hanging out" now can they?
Been my favorite movie forever. I'd love to see a remake with more dungeons and dragons lore in it. Perhaps instead of Tim Curry as Darkness instead Ian Somerhalder as Asmodeus
AJ Pickett I would love that though I know the differences between them, I always get into argument with my friend about it. To him the Kirin is just a horse then he gets one shot my it it's quite amusing.
AJ Pickett on a side note, it's also because I would love to go through and make 5th Ed adaptations of these. The outline would make it easier, but the info you've gathered already makes it very easy. Info like "spellcaster like a 10th level cleric" is super helpful in doing so.
Nyghtking Well they don’t grow back on rhinos and elephants and cows so I doubt they would grow back on unicorns the ones that shed their own horns they would but that might only be a few that can do that
Unicorns are fairly weird when you really look closely at them. Not a horse, nor antelope, nor deer, nor goat, nor Llama, they are creatures of the Uncanny Valley.
does anyone know who the most powerful being is who protects Unicorns? I know they have a lot of beings who will have their back but who's top dog in regards too protectors of unicorns?
would think their maybe a trade regarding naturally shed unicorns if it does happen so magic users and such in need of them could get a hold of them without requiring the morale implications or possible consequences (hordes of fairies, fey/nature associated paladins clerics etc knocking on your door) of using a horn from a killed unicorn i could also their being some differences between horns shed naturally or horns from a murdered unicorn possible the magic from one or the other maybe more potent or such. maybe even some people making deals of some sort with unicorns for when they are about to shed their horn to let someone collect it or people who keep eyes out for horns that have likely been shed naturally or such to sell if someone or a business that uses such horns they may just be against the hunting of unicorns partly because the less unicorns the less chance of profiting when they would shed their horn
Nope, the alicorn name originally referred to the unicorn's horn only. Bronies adopted that name for the wingded unicorns and guess d&d had it's own idea.
That I know, the only reason I dislike them was that of a bad roll on one of my companion's side, she tried to tame it with an apple but did not know that the apple was poisoned, long story short we go cursed, some elven keepers of their grove wanted us dead
How do you poison a unicorn? they have a built in ability for removing poison and disease. But i guess even just the act of offering it would turn them against you since pointing a drawn bow at someone with piercing resistance is still a threat.
It was not intentional, the one who sent us on that quest turned out to be an underlying of a Dark Elf, who wanted to take revenge on the Elven Guardians of the Unicorn Glade, must have been one of there special poisons, probably that is why my vampire sens did not detect it
5th edition says unicorns are celestials not fey. this is just the only time iv been turned off by one of your videos. it really seems like your not using current information for this making it way less helpful then all your other videos. Unicrons in 5e are created by a god and placed on the material plane it says so in the monster manual.
Im sorry but so much of this video contradicts current canon on unicorns that wizards put out.
You're damn right it does, and I stand by it. WoTC is within its rights to change whatever they like, but what they are calling a unicorn in the 5E monster manual is actually the Celestial Charger (I mention them in the video), not the Sylvan Unicorn which is a fey creature of Chaotic Good alignment. I thank you for the critique Kyle, it gives me a chance to vent a little bit about some of the details that have been thrown out for no good reason (imagine how people who are used to the unicorns of every previous edition feel about this sudden fundamental change?)
Oh i fully agree with you about wizards changing stuff not always being the right choice. I'm in the kobolds should be dogmen camp. I wish Unicorns had the bit from mythology were if your particularly lustful your presence causes a unicorn so much pain it kills you in rage.
My critique comes more from the fact that all your other videos are inline with current lore and this one either lacks a piece at the beginning saying its the one based on previous editions for clarity or i missed it. all your other videos a new player could go to adventure league with and have the right information.
Yeah you are absolutely right Kyle, I was not clear enough on this one, thanks for pointing it out, that will help me out a lot in future.
You are welcome, thank you for always providing informative lore pulled from so many resources i dont think i even have half the dragon issues you pull from. Your information is always well researched and you speak at a pace and tone that makes me want to put you on autoplay everytime.
Also, I will leave this with you for the lolz ruclips.net/video/7BNsjsbJLaM/видео.html The real Unicorn :)
*Epic metal intro*
Today we're talking about unicorns
great video AJ. i find unicorns to be such a underrated creature that most dont realize how powerful and smart of a creature it truly is . i find a lot of new players think of them as just magical horses and either shun it or dont realize the amount of effort one needs to put in to have one as a mount
Stay a virgin? because being around the unpure causes them physical pain. the really lustful actually incite a blind rage in a unicorn and causes it to attack
I actually had a forest corrupted by a dark force having an evil version of fey creatures. Unicorns were among them, like pixies, brownies, and sprites. It was a horror show for my players to kill them, especially when they got to destroying the corrupting force. Every being corrupted turned back to normal... and the bodies of those the player characters have slain were still there. Mind-screw. They killed more good creatures than the corrupting force in their blunt-force invasion of the black forest. The forest revived was nearly devoid of fey life.
My players created a quest to undo their damage in fixing the black forest. I'm kind of a d^ck with intrigue and twists. At least I keep it interesting and often fun. The corrupt (evil) unicorn random encounters were epic because of allies. I'm actually surprised my players survived their blunt-force version of going into the Black Forest and getting to the corrupting core.
I had a strategic plan they could discover and several paths they could have taken, even investigative clues. Nope, they plowed through the path of most resistance... and won. Kudos and regrets.
I've just made my warlock, and as my patron I made it to be a super powered unicorn (my little pony inspired)... And now this video comes up. You've given me a few things to add now. Thanks!!
Aaron Wong Is it Tia?
"Evil hearted, fully carnivorous, Unicorn ninjas".... This sentence has too much "Yes" in it to handle... -sits down- I don't smoke but I feel like I need a cigarette
The polymorphing unicorn sounds like a fun character to put in my urban campaign. Maybe the leader of a warrior monastery. I've been trying to come up with a good list of VIP citizens that one does not screw with. I've got an Ifriet living in a lighthouse, a Steel Dragon as a noble socialite, a Gold Dragon as the Field Marshal of the military, and a tabaxi, beholder, and wererat as the triumvirate leaders of the thieves guild. And I'm taking a mix of Hogwarts Teachers and Unseen University Staff Members as higher members of the Local Wizard's Tower (I figured Tower would be a good term for a collection of wizards. Like a murder of crows or a coven of witches.) Basically, when I send my players to the ball, I want to be able to unleash holy hell and confusion should anything untoward were to happen. [Insert Maniacal DM Laughter here.]
Unicorns also tend to be captured by unhappy kings with redbulls that drives them into the sea or by large red devils with massive horns and seductive voices.
The entrance to the red bull's lair is generally guarded by an undead skeleton whom players can convince to let them pass by plying him with the wine he misses so dearly.
then he tells on you
14:36: hey, it's Sombra. As always, awesome job on this video, and here's to many more!
Huh that explains a lot. One insane campaign I was in, an evil big bad managed to capture a Unicorn and well... devoured its flesh. My party were friends with this unicorn too so we all heard the summons and also everyone/everything that it helped out before were in a frenzy.
Boi we all charged to avenge that mary sue unicorn of ours because the big bad was only left in chunks of meat...
Love the videos, slowly but surely making my way through all of them. I must say I LOVEEEEE the demon lords videos with the insane amount of depth you went in to and was wondering if you can do ones like it on the lords of the 9 hells
That is my intention.
awesome i know they must take forever to research, I'm really looking forward to it man
That old article in Dragon about variant unicorns was always a favorite of mine.
Roughly 85 years ago in Cormyr there a somewhat boom in the black markets in regard to Unicorn products, ranging from their blood, organs, hide, flesh and of course their horns, now the thing is that well these unicorns that were killed were originally a descendant line of the ones that made part of the legendary High Elven Cavalry belonging to the kingdom of Cormanthyr, based around my investigation roughly 10 or so were slain, but its got more interesting when I found several ceremonial daggers made from intact uncarved unicorn horns, handle was a form elven silver, turns out the guys behind this whole ordeal manage to stumble on one of the old tombs in which these fabled Elven Knights were buried, correction mausoleum, they managed to do dob what was left of the grave, it looks like there were roughly 30 sarcophaguses, 20 were ransacked, armor, weapons, bones, especially the unicorn ones, managed to seal it up by having a part of its main inwall collapse, but damage was done, still had enough time to take a lot of notes, drawn some pictures, translated names and stories, etc. so that should help the Cormyr Royal Academy's historical department,
Man, I miss proper unicorns. Now they've seemingly become one with the celestial charger which im not entirely a fan of. I played an Eladrin Swordmage in 4e and it was a lot of fun to play a sorta... Chaotic Good but highly militant, straight faced, bootstrap fey as a counter to the general whimsy of the fey?
It was enjoyable to play this character because they didn't LIKE the feywild. They hated the _weird_ of the place, but even in their contempt of the ficalness of the realm they had an ingrained respect and admiration for the beasts, going so far as to carry one as a standard.
On the prime material plane its a bit silly to pick something so... Ficticious, childish even - Her companions even though as much and mocked her incessantly about it for... About 11 levels and 8 years in-game time.
The mockery came to a swift stop when the group (against her wishes) decided that it was time that I get started on my paragon path quest, so off to the feywild we went so she could learn more about shielding folks. After a protracted journey to the academy where she originally learned to fight she was allowed to speak with the founder of the academy, as all before her had done.
Enter Head Master Madjalor, the Evershield. A unicorn. Essentially a mix between Sir Patrick Stewart character tropes + Sean Connery character tropes in unicorn form, the crew (and myself) are quite enthralled by his intelligence, wisdom, worldly expierence and great advice. It wasn't our first time dealing with a legendary creature, the head of the sorcerer's clan was a gold dragon and we had been doing quests for her for much of our tenure.
But this was the first time it felt personal. Namely for my character, but there was definitely a "favorite" ancient npc now, he wasn't stingy with assistance or getting personally involved and readily engaged everyone in the party, even our dark pact warlock shade (though he wouldn't allow that pc within 30ft of him). That arc culminated in her retiring to learn and teach at the school for a time, since I needed to take a break from gaming for a move. During said move the crew had gotten themselves in a pickle with a hag and her formoran goons looking to dominate a living swamp and unleash it upon the wilds.
I was able to Skype myself in for a session, wherein I ride in on a unicorn and seamlessly transitioned between mounted combat and foot combat in a living bog of decay with big mud fist-pillars trying to stop us. It was... Pretty fuckin _fey_ but I'm not sure what's more high fantasy than an elf wizard-warrior riding a unicorn to fight depression in geological form...
-ill spare you the jokes about her "riding" unicorn horn though because he was a happily spoken for magic horse.-
I had read in xanathars that a warlock can have a Unicorn as a Patron. I had an idea to make a character whose basic backstory is that he was a bugbear chief of was considered evil even by bugbear standards. This cruel chieftain was, powerful, deviously cunning and possessed of an ego and narcissism rarely seen. As a youth, he had killed all the members of the tribe he was born into for no other reason than they knew his true name. The chief believes that names are for those who lack the strength and will to claim title and power. Once he matured he had grown to be large even by bugbear standards and possessed a natural talent for fighting and savagery that it wasn't long before he gathered his own tribe and soon became the chief of one of the strongest bugbear tribes to ever have existed.
years passed and the chief's power and tribe grew in strength, but nature cares little for martial prowess, and as game grew fewer the Cheif was forced with starvation or to travel through the woods to a fabled enchanted section of forest that was sure to have plenty of game, as well as plenty of forest guardians. after weeks of slow going travel due to terrain and the insistence of the chiefs generals to bring as many of the tribe as possible to deal with the forest guardians who they would be lucky not to encounter. Alas, while on a hunt and stumbled upon an area of the forest that seemed more lush and healthy, as though it was enchanted. The chief had long ago captured a druid and after years of torture and abuse developed a kind of Stockholm syndrome toward the chief and was with them on the hunt. the chief ordered the druid to cast faerie fire and it revealed a couple of unicorn foals, pixies and other fantastical creature's. As soon as the creatures realized they were seen they became aggressive, The Tribe immediately attacked and the great battle commenced between a tribe of bugbears vsFirbolgs, treants, animals that seemed to out of nowhere, even the terrain seemed to be constantly changing.
In the end, the tribe prevailed but suffered great casualties, around 2/3 of the tribe lay dead and scarcely a one escaped without a severe injury. They butchered the dead, along with the firbolgs and strange animals, the Chief himself killed the Unicorn foals himself, clawing off strips of flesh and savoring every agonizing moment of the newborns' pain. Though many of the tribe were dead, the tale of this battle and recognition the chief felt it would bring him was more than worth the loss off of those who are too weak to survive. A few days travel the chief and his tribes' survivors arrived back home and settled in for well-earned rest. As the chief laid down to sleep that night he dreamed of a great unicorn who was furious with him. The Unicorn Said " you have murdered my kin and defiled my glade. death would be too good for you, from this day forth I own you and curse you to incapable of acting on your evil nature, instead, you will be compelled to do good unless I say otherwise"
when the chief awoke he noticed he had a long Unicorn Horn on his head that seemed intangible, with a sort of light around it. As well his hands seemed too always feel like they were still covered and dripping with the blood of the innocent unicorn foals. When he tried to show it to his tribe, no one could see anything, not even the druid. in anger, he went to strike the druid but found he couldn't, and instead felt a great amount of shame, along with a strange compulsion to free him. Realizing the situation, and what he was now, he knew his tribe would banish him if they found out about his affliction, or track and kill him if he tried to run. there was only one option, he poisoned the remaining members of the tribe that night and freed the captive Druid. Now the Chief wanders the lands, doing good deeds and protecting the helpless and hating every minute of it.
If I am not mistaken, Bruce Coville coined the phrase “A Glory of Unicorns.” Just like a flock of birds, a flight of dragons, a pod of dolphins, etc. Thus, a Glory of Unicorns.
sounds about right :)
Cian McCabe I think you’ll find that if you delve more deeply into the Lore of Dragons in both D&D, Fantasy Literature, and Mythology it’s a “Flight of Dragons.” I recommend the book: “The Flight of Dragons” by Peter Dickinson.
a Rage of Dragons?It is actually a Flight of Dragons, this is true.
AJ Pickett A shit let’s leave this continent of dragons
I remember this Dragon Magazine article. The fae unicorn and the carnivorous black unicorn are specific ones I recall from that issue. I also recommend the Ki-Rin (oriental unicorn-dragon-like spirit, maybe the closest thing to a dragon-unicorn hybrid I can think of), undead unicorns (I personally like to use them sorta as the old school undead knight with a circlet of mastery to enslave/free the tragic beast), and pink unicorns that are only used by the boldest of DMs.
I made my pcs terrified of unicorns. Hahaha one only needs to survive a unicorn horde charge in an evil campaign once.
Looks like I might not use unicorns in my Dustfinder test campaign (Western Pathfinder setting).
Loved the art for this video. So beautiful. Have to love anything that kicks a giants ass.
Unicorns have this eerie feel to them. Technically their not supposed to have fully horselike faces and your supposed to be able to read it's face. The fact that there are black unicorns that eat people alive is nasty.
musicloverfromA45 I must have one for my Dragonborn warlock hobgoblins for dinner
I'm just a lowly freeloader, enjoying your hard work without paying for it, but I have a request/suggestion for a video: the Revenant. They're a fairly unique type of undead with a lot of potential to add to your game's story, or you could just use them as an interesting side quest. You could retell "The Crow" as a high fantasy adventure! ...but keep it dark and gritty. I just don't think Eric Draven would have much appeal frolicking around as an elven bard...
Sooo...yeah - do a video on Revenants!
Thank you for making this video, Aj! I love unicorns.
There are kinds of unicorns? I have learned more than I thought I would.
My specialty :D
Great video as always! Keep it up!
Great vault of information, thanks.
Every time I see a D&D unicorn I think of the game Exile: A ruin world.
Enjoyed this video. Thank you.
My Archfey Warlock has made it a point to *murder* anything that so much as touches a unicorn with Ill intent. So far that number is limited to a coven of hags, but I can see it expanding in the future.
It's basically a surefire way to get on my gnome druid's kill list as well. And he's already mauled a lot of faces off for less.
I just love this!!!
However, I have a request: could you maybe "revisit" your older videos and update the subtitles? Because usually the autogenerated subtitles are not great, and at times, especially with names, I have trouble to understand what is said. In such instances it'd be great to be able to turn on the subtitles to make sure I understand it correctly.
In this video, for example, you mentioned so many varieties of unicorns, but with some names I had trouble understanding, and I find it somewhat challenging to find them anywhere.
I know that this is much to ask, but it'd be very helpful.
"I like to watch them. They fill me with joy. The first I felt it I thought I was going to die. I said to the Red Bull I must have them, all of them, all there are. For nothing makes me happy but their shining and their grace. So the Red Bull caught them. Each time I see the unicorns, my unicorns, it is like that morning in the woods and I am truly young, in spite of myself." - King Haggard
I read that in Haggrad's (Harry Potter's Schools {IDR} Grounds Keeper) voice...
Nicely done, sir!
3:54
Dom: Did someone say *FAMILY* ?
What have I done to deserve this many ads? Who hurt you?
So when you say they have the most powerful ability of allies and friends....are you saying "friendship is magic"?
More like "Fellow Combatants are magically helpful."
I would say more like the unicorns magic is the friendship school. not that the friends themselves are magic.
"Fully carnivorous unicorn ninjas" What now?
A curse upon anyone who would kill such a beautiful thing
Reminds me of a book about a guy karate chopping a black unicorns horn off.
Always enjoy your videos man, I had no idea how many types there are. I wonder if an Alicorn's (not sure if I'm spelling it right) horn or hooves are used to make the Horseshoes of a Zephyr?
Could be, might be a pegasus. I'm not sure there is an official recipe for that item.
so do unicorns shed their horns like deer do antlers, or are they actual horns and permanently attached to their heads? I can see a pretty fun side story of a good-aligned party trying to follow a fey unicorn during shedding season, waiting for the thing to fall off
I think they are attached, but, if it fits the story, there is nothing official on it, you have room to improvise.
would think their maybe a trade regarding naturally shed unicorns if it does happen so magic users and such in need of them could get a hold of them without requiring the morale implications or possible consequences (hordes of fairies, fey/nature associated paladins clerics etc knocking on your door) of using a horn from a killed unicorn i could also their being some differences between horns shed naturally or horns from a murdered unicorn possible the magic from one or the other maybe more potent or such. maybe even some people making deals of some sort with unicorns for when they are about to shed their horn to let someone collect it or people who keep eyes out for horns that have likely been shed naturally or such to sell
@@dragonlord498 Shedding of the horns happens once every half or full century or so, and even then most of these horns are claimed by druids or rangers, along with any other disciples of Corellon Larethian, Eldath, Isis, Labelas Enoreth, Lurue, Mielikki, Mystra, Rillifane Rallathil, Sheela Peryroyl, Silvanus, Solonor Thelandira and Tymora but that being said if you do find one, well you just struck gold in one hit buddy, but age also factors in to the quality, you can tell the age by the nr. of rings inside, if it has over 30 - 50 rings it can fetch a pretty good price of 500 gold pieces perhaps 1K if its an alchemical and magical collector, but you have to be smart about it, there are black market greed driven cutthroats out there.
@@alexandarvoncarsteinzarovi3723 Since they are a material component for a piece of the most badass stealth equipment in the game: the Cloak of Elvenkind, you'd probably be better off paying to have it made into a magical item. In combination with the boots it's like christmas come early for any rogue or ranger types.
Although the set does help any adventurer blend in to their environment.
@@Reddotzebra yeah but horn is also a huge target on your back
Finally something tat makes Unicorns cool again ;]
My little Unicorn... The Magic is Magic.
I haven't bought a new dnd edition since 1983 and I still Play with ahandfull of my original nerds from c1983. The Wotc has been Corp Canon is of no interest to us, but your vids, AJ, are priceless. The depth of character development and Ecological science delivered in your videos is legit. (I have a masters degree in Ecological agriculture, So regard this approach highly). I am pleased to listen to content that is only loosely connected to the has-been trash factories wreckage of my 45 years and growing favorite hobby.
Thank you.
realy nice video
but just imagine the "fire" unicorn stabbing into somthing but then the scent of burning flesh and hair filling the air as it's insides are seared
18:55 "A note on a particular cult, The White Horns"; I am very intrigued by this, but I literally can't locate this information anywhere. Any tips/pointers on how to locate or where I could read more into this faction?
So the black unicorn are like the man-eating mares?
The pic at around 13:44 is a beautiful artists depiction of Norse god Odin's horse, Sleipnir!.. I have it as my tablet background!
The last unicorn!
Imagine a warlock to one of the Fey Lords that has an athame ceremonial ritualistic dagger made from a unicorn's horn that would be a pretty interesting little trinket wouldn't you say
Or a paladin with a short sword made from a silver unicorns horn with their given power against Undead or even an amulet or something carved from the horn their holy symbol for example a priest would probably get a massive bonus to their turn Undead
Oh oh oh also any of the items made from a unicorn horn is sure to draw the attention and anger or wrath of a lot of different creatures
Good information yet again, thanks!
One of my players in 3.5 is running a Paladin, and waited until 6th level to choose a mount- she went Unicorn, as well as picking up Leadership. The Unicorn is a great addition to the paladin's crusade against undead in our campaign. She ends up using the unicorn mount as a flanker (her cohort was a Cleric in her church, so more Turn Undead per day).
Here are 3 variants from Wizards' website (Demon Apocalypse Unicorn, Monstrous Vampire Unicorn, and Two Headed Dark Unicorn) that were not mentioned in the video.
archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/eo/20061219a
I also came across a monster in one of the bestiaries that used a unicorn sacrificing its horn to dark powers (by demon/devil worshippers) that created a rage filled corrupted beast- a Spireling? Something like that, but leafing through my books at random, can't find it at the moment. The art was impressive, and I had made a mental note to use it as a possible antagonist against the aforementioned paladin/unicorn duo.
The palamino, brown, and zebra-corn were from Dragon magazine? Had never seen those before.
Silas DeBoer indeed, an older issue of dragon. :)
Isn't "Turn Undead" only for people who can't fight them?
(I've never used "Turning" spells tactically for anything more than a retreat or large horde CC,
IDK if there are other ways to use it in battle for smaller hordes.)
"Destroying Undead
If you have twice as many levels (or more) as the undead have Hit Dice, you destroy any that you would normally turn."
www.d20srd.org/srd/combat/specialAttacks.htm#turnOrRebukeUndead
When you're battling necromancers and their armies of Wights, Skeletons, Zombies, and Vampire Spawn (below 4HD, you only have to be 8th level to ash them for a standard action).
Yes! Finally some justice to these amazing creatures. Too often I see unicorns as just a "horny horse"
MarvAlice Horny horse is a completely different game.
Yeah they're fast but next to a Nightmare they might as well be standing still
if i saw a unicorn…
often when i go into the forest i hope to see one. I’ve always loved them
You forgot to bring up the greatest Unicorn Wizard ever known, Twilight Sparkle...
Oh, I'm not touching that pop culture with a ten meter cattle prod.
@@AJPickett Especially since their alicorns need wings to fly. They are supposed to walk on air, dammit!
You forgot Danny Sexbang.
did a higher being create unicorns or is there some kind of unicorn god? Im mostly interested because warlocks can have Unicron patrons So I thought maybe there might be a single particularly powerful Unicorn or some super powerful celestial being who created them.
Well, according to the current monster manual, these celestial unicorns are essentially horse-angels sent by the gods to patrol enchanted forests (Sylvan glades, not the feywild I guess?) or be assigned to chosen champions.
This disregards the folklore of unicorns only letting pure maidens ride them, so, these are not Sylvan unicorns, what they are depicting in the 5E MM is the Celestial Charger.
okay so there is no specifically named top unicorn, it can be basically any unicorn who could be a warlock patron. I mainly wanted to know if there was a named Unicorn at the top of power or a celestial who controlled them so I could create an evil character who through whatever scenario offended the Unicorn or deity in charge of unicorns so much that they forced the character into servitude. That despite the player character being evil the Unicorn cursed him into being compelled toward good and incapable of acting on his natural evil nature. Basically, an evil character forced into the service of a celestial and hates that he has no free will to commit evil acts and is afflicted with a curse that compels him to do good despite his cruel nature. It just seems like a really fun RP character to make.
Thanks for replying by the way, appreciate it.
Please do a video on the old school Dragon Horse. Not much info but....
I recall a book (or maybe a book series) that I read 30 years ago, but I cannot remember what it was called. The main character was a mercenary knight, a very macho manly-man womanizer, whose mount was a unicorn. Everyone that he met knew that unicorns could only be ridden by virgins, so his lifestyle had everyone wondering how he could take a tavern wench to his room every night and still keep the unicorn. At one point, he clarified that biologically and physically he was still a virgin as far as the mystical bond with the unicorn counted, but that the women sure liked his 'accent.'
That... what book series was this?
@@AJPickett I wish I could remember. One of my gaming buddies at the time had an extensive fantasy collection that I borrowed from periodically. But I lost contact with him years ago. But yeah, it was an awesome story idea for the unicorn rider.
@@stevenpeterson8582 does that mean he went down on them?
You forgot the thay unicorn. Which thay corrupted
Bruce Coville: “Into The Land of the Unicorns,” “Song of the Wanderer,” and all the books that lead up to “A Glory of Unicorns.” I recommend reading these novels.
May i make a recommendation/Request would love to see you cover the changelings in this series. I mean Hey it's a Player Race your missing unless i have missed something.
Well, I have talked about them a little bit in the video on Doppelgangers, but yes, there have been plenty of requests to talk specifically about the changelings.
Thank you very much for your swift response sir! Add my request to the pile. Have a good day sir!
So you could have a unicorn almost down and an ancient gold dragon or angel will plain shift in to save them
Where do you find so much information on unicorns?
I love the Ch.Evil. black unicorn created by the Red Wizards of Thay! It was nice to see the picture of the maiden kneeling before the unicorn from the movie Legend a favorite film of mine except for the fact that they put Tom Cruise in the movie as Jack the child of the forest.....that man had all the appeal of a scorching case of herpes! They did the same damned thing with him playing one of my favorite anti-heros of all time the vampire Lestat de Valoise de LionCourt from Anne Rices vampire chronicles......god what was the director thinking! Nice vid. and your right about them being particular about who they associate with.....my L.G. teenaged elven cavalier spent years doing good deeds in and around Hommlet a village near the ruins of the Temple of Elemental Evil,and no matter how many great deeds my character did the damned thing wouldn't so much as let me touch it!
Mhm a Unicorn is to a Horse what a Tolkien Elf is to a Man XD
Andrea I. L. G. That is to say, they look a bit similar, but are impossible to mistake for the mundane
MarvAlice yeah exactly, like "man with pointy ears, long silvery hair, walking on snow without leaving footprints" one can't really look at em and say "it is surely a local farmer hanging out" now can they?
*Unicorn looks up from comfortable bean bag and open book of Lord of the Rings, gives a happy wink*
Very entertaining when I'm bored as heck
I think my spellsword ate one. Yes, he was a nasty guy
Wait would killing even an evil Unicorn result in banishment and being hunted?
Zack Kerber it's really rare but generally they are almost always good.
Zack Kerber probably not.
Skinny rhinos
Rhinos with amazing public relations managers.
I like how a little girl once referred to rhinos as warrior unicorns.
Does anybody remember the movie Legend
yup , its where i first remember seeing Tim Curry in a film
Been my favorite movie forever. I'd love to see a remake with more dungeons and dragons lore in it. Perhaps instead of Tim Curry as Darkness instead Ian Somerhalder as Asmodeus
Not only do I remember it, I watched it last week.
The only unicorn I like is the Kirin from Monster Hunter
Well, now I have to do a Kirin video to illustrate how different they are from Unicorns.
AJ Pickett I would love that though I know the differences between them, I always get into argument with my friend about it. To him the Kirin is just a horse then he gets one shot my it it's quite amusing.
What's good at 6 in the morning
Do you do outlines for your videos? Like bullet points for each type of unicorn in order they appear in the video?
john tracy I write a script for each video. I should put time stamp links in the description.
AJ Pickett on a side note, it's also because I would love to go through and make 5th Ed adaptations of these. The outline would make it easier, but the info you've gathered already makes it very easy. Info like "spellcaster like a 10th level cleric" is super helpful in doing so.
Lol seriously a cryocorn? I am not going to lie AJ, this is the first time I think you're making this stuff up lol
Spelt Criocorn actually, and nope, it's from an article in Dragon magazine. :)
Make me wonder if you could just cut the horn off, and if you did would it grow back?
I don't think there is an official answer for that, as for the creature these mythical beasts are based on, that would be a Yes, they do grow back.
@@AJPickett Well at least it's possible to harvest a horn without killing the unicorn so that may be useful information.
@@Nyghtking Good luck getting it without being gored by the unicorn first though
I would think that they will grow back, but the unicorn would be very weakened by the loss of the horn, so they wouldn't just let it happen
Nyghtking Well they don’t grow back on rhinos and elephants and cows so I doubt they would grow back on unicorns the ones that shed their own horns they would but that might only be a few that can do that
White horn huh? I like
Unicorns for the win!
8:52 that unicorn has full on toes and footpads. Unicorns have cloven hooves like cattle, but this person whoever the artist is went a bit nuts
Unicorns are fairly weird when you really look closely at them. Not a horse, nor antelope, nor deer, nor goat, nor Llama, they are creatures of the Uncanny Valley.
14:50 That one is straight up MLP fan art
Imagine if that one was possessed by Alucard (From Hellsing Abridged), that would be amazing.
[And way too high of a rating for a kids' show.]
It's the elusive Stairs Unicorn
what if unicorn meet centaur ?
arnold cruise potential Centauricorn
does anyone know who the most powerful being is who protects Unicorns? I know they have a lot of beings who will have their back but who's top dog in regards too protectors of unicorns?
I'd hazard a guess and say Lurue, the Unicorn Queen.
Lesser deity that's (surprise) the patron of all unicorns
I have a question
do you have a link of the sources of where you got all this information on unicorns and the different types of unicorns?
Dragon magazines
@@AJPickett okay thank you! do you know which issue or its just been awhile so you don't remember

So it really an Unicorn

Are Ki-Rin a relative of the Unicorns or are they another variation of Unicorn?
Not related at all.

fey means insane, I named one of my character's puffin Fey
I totally recommend these novels if you like/love unicorns.

Could it be possible to turn a unicorn into a human being and what would happen to the creature
Presumably, and I don't know, depends on the spell I suppose.

Isn't Alicorn winged unicorn?
Nope, the alicorn name originally referred to the unicorn's horn only. Bronies adopted that name for the wingded unicorns and guess d&d had it's own idea.
unicorns are rhinos. I can prove it. no, rhinos are unicorns.
But are they delicious like horses?
😴🦣🦫🐨🐏
I actually do not like them at all, then only possible creature in all mythology I actually dislike,
Did you know unicorns in mythology are supposed to feel pain when near non virgins and those who are very lustful are murdered by unicorns.
That I know, the only reason I dislike them was that of a bad roll on one of my companion's side, she tried to tame it with an apple but did not know that the apple was poisoned, long story short we go cursed, some elven keepers of their grove wanted us dead
How do you poison a unicorn? they have a built in ability for removing poison and disease. But i guess even just the act of offering it would turn them against you since pointing a drawn bow at someone with piercing resistance is still a threat.
It was not intentional, the one who sent us on that quest turned out to be an underlying of a Dark Elf, who wanted to take revenge on the Elven Guardians of the Unicorn Glade, must have been one of there special poisons, probably that is why my vampire sens did not detect it
