'''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 can be captured in [[cage]] [[trap]]s and [[Animal trainer|trained]] into very valuable [[pet]]s, and tame ones may be brought in [[Elf|elven]] [[caravan]]s. While they're not considered [[domestic animal]]s to elves (like [[beak dog]]s are to [[goblin]]s), they're usually found under their employ anyway, and may appear as attack animals or mounts in the event of a [[siege]]. [[Mission|Raiding]] an elven settlement may lead your dwarves to bring numerous tame unicorns to your fortress as spoils, which is the easiest way to get a hold of the creatures. They give a decent amount of returns when [[butcher]]ed, and products made from their parts are [[Item value|worth]] four times as much as those made from common animals, making unicorn theft in the name of profit an attractive proposition. | + | Unicorns can be captured in [[cage]] [[trap]]s and [[Animal trainer|trained]] into very valuable [[pet]]s, and tame ones may be brought in [[Elf|elven]] [[caravan]]s{{version|0.44.07}}.
