Unicorn
Aside from dragons, unicorns are some of the most infamous denizens of Altairus. On the Altairus Sigil, the white unicorn flanks the left side of the Anima Sigil. It represents the Seelie elements of Anima; Air, Fire, and Light. All unicorn species are of the genus Monoceros.
Despite their association with the Seelie elements, unicorns can be of any element. Contrary to popular perceptions of unicorns, unicorns in Altairus are more caprine or cervidine in appearance than equine. Their faces and split hooves resemble that of a goat or deer, and they possess long, leonine tails. The horn in the center of their head can take many forms; while it is typically in the shape of a narwhal tusk, different unicorn species will have different horns. The horns of rhinoceri, stags, or even insects have been reported to grow on various unicorn species.
Like dragons, unicorns are magnificient but unpredictable. They possess a unique power over healing magic that few other beings have, but they can also destroy the world around them with the curses they cast. If approaching a unicorn, it is recommended that one exhibits a humble, respectful demeanor and does not make any sudden movements. If successful, you may even be able to get a unicorn to eat out of your hand!
