Unicorns are large creatures found in good-aligned forests and shrublands, 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 possess a pet value of 1,000, but dwarves cannot train them without modding. However, elves can freely use unicorns as livestock and mounts, being infamous for riding them into battle during sieges. Since they cannot be trained, the only thing you can do with unicorns is kill and process them. Unicorn products are worth four times as much as domestic animals, making unicorn genocide in the name of profit an attractive proposition.

Some dwarves like unicorns for their horns.

Admired for its horns.
