Alicorn

Legend tells of the crossbreeding of two great mythical creatures the Unicorn and the Pegasus creating an even more epic breed known as the Alicorn. The account of such creatures is primarily documented in the Readings of Elves and the occasional astute writings of Wizards who spend much of their company and research time with Elves. If there is a beast of such legend even many Elves dismiss it as only a myth. If such a creature exists in Evermyst information on the location and number of such creatures are probably only kept in the Highest ranking libraries of elves.
