Unicorns
Magical creatures native to Dondar. They are graceful, powerful, honorable, intelligent creatures that roam in herds and feed by grazing. They come in all different colors with intricate markings. They are the size of small horse, but more delicate with longer legs, a longer neck, a thick bushy tail, and tufts of hair around cloven hooves. The center of their foreheads has a long, delicate-looking, spiral horn that is 2 ft long. Their horns are capable of negating any magic if prepared ahead of time. Exactly how a unicorn prepares its horn is unknown. Human magic-users have hunted them for centuries for their magic-negating horns. As a result, unicorns are fearful and distrustfull of humans. They have a strict hierarchy structure. Each unicorn herd is led by a single dominent leader. They communicate by telepathy. The worst insult amoung unicorns is to be called a “horse”.
