'''Unicorns''' are large [[creature]]s found in [[Surroundings#Good|good-aligned]] [[forest]]s and [[shrubland]]s, where they spawn in fairly large herds. Somewhat larger than the average [[horse]], unicorns will normally flee when approached by a [[dwarf]], though if cornered, they will attempt to impale them with their horns. Despite this, a [[crossbow]]-wielding [[hunter]] or an equipped [[military]] squad will usually fare well against unicorns, providing your fort with a big equine meal. | '''Unicorns''' are large [[creature]]s found in [[Surroundings#Good|good-aligned]] [[forest]]s and [[shrubland]]s, where they spawn in fairly large herds.

− | Unicorns | + | Unicorns possess a [[pet]] value of 1,000, but dwarves cannot [[Animal trainer|train]] them without [[modding]]. However, [[Elf|elves]] can freely use unicorns as livestock and [[mount]]s, being infamous for riding them into battle during [[siege]]s {{verify}}. Since they cannot be trained, the only thing you can do with unicorns is kill and [[Butcher|process]] them. Unicorn products are [[Item value|worth]] four times as much as [[domestic animal]]s, making unicorn genocide in the name of profit an attractive proposition. |

− | + | Its been rumored that some unicorns (specially purple ones with affinity for books) are able to cast spells making them the among the first creatures to use magic, but as of yet there's no concrete proof of that. | |

+ | It is also believed that the movement of the sun and the moon is also due to some form of equine magic, but that's just silly as it implies geocentrism and we all know that Armok likes his worlds flat and square. | ||
