Unicorns live even longer than elves, and they also have no concept of "Hey, this has happened before". They wouldn't know a week has passed unless you told them.
@@kenkubardYea they can remember stuff. As far as I can tell it’s more like they experience every moment as a new experience and just as intensely as the first time. It’s like “yes sunsets happen every evening, but *this particular* sunset has never happened before! The clouds were different and the mix of pink and orange were different!” Sure the same types of flowers may bloom every year but the flowers that bloom this year aren’t the exact same flowers that bloomed last year, therefore it’s entirely unique and never seen before and totally amazeballs yo.
So...a wild magic sorcerer in one of my games kept rolling the 'summon a unicorn' result so often that the unicorn was basically the designated healer of the party.
@@williampinkley1842 They weren't evil-aligned but beyond that, I don't entirely remember. Alignment designation can be a bit murky when it comes to actual player behavior as well. : P
Apparently the actual reason the Scottish unicorn's chained up on the UK coat of arms is because in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, unicorns weren't seen as feminine or even magical, they were just an insanely rare and dangerous animal that would absolutely wreck you if you ever came across it; less pretty horses to hang out with princesses and more like a wild bull but even worse. There's a bunch of faiey tales about people having to survive encounters with wild unicorns, and the whole thing about virgins taming them (which sort of became their defining trait later on) started out as Christian symbolism about how being pure and godly meant you could tame something as scary as a unicorn. The fact that the unicorn is chained up and the lion isn't is less about Scotland being subjugated and more that people back then just saw unicorns as being much more dangerous than lions.
Thank you so much. The feminine rainbow cutie unicorn annoys me so much. Unicorns were never symbolic of rainbows and were considered the most ferocious of magical creatures. Heck its DRAGONS that were used in multiple cultures to symbolize rainbows.
@@tamaradraconus , it's also worth noting that there were multiple tales describing unicorns killing dragons, which is a pretty good indication of their perceived threat level.
Which makes perfect sense when a unicorn is a half-blind four-legged tank ready to demolish anything in the same postal code which looks at it funny on a moment's notice.
I’m a big fan of them as patrons for celestial warlocks as well. The idea of someone making a deal with a unicorn to be a good person in exchange for sparkly eldritch blasts and healing magic is brilliant.
@@Technodreamer A Cutie Mark will brand the flesh of the one who has made the pact. Princess Celestia is a mighty warlock patron, and she will be expecting weekly friendship reports… Or else
All True Unicorns are proud Scots and they have the thickest Highland Scottish Brogue accent imaginable, like if Sir Sean Connery was reincarnated as a magical horse.
It’s more like that one time he respawned as a human instead of his native unicorn form like the rest of his people. Scotland was forever changed that day. Why else do you think Scotland’s official animal is a unicorn?
So the original historical account of a unicorn describes it as exactly what a rhinoceros is today, but because mideival artists were comically bad at drawing animals, as has been memed on nowadays, they drew a horse, kinda like all those other horses they've drawn, but with a horn on its head because the book said so. The book also said it had "the feet of an elephant" but, again, mideival European art nerd wouldn't know what an elephant is, so they just put a horn on a horse and the legend grew from there. The good news is that this means the only historically accurate unicorn is whatever the fuck you want to draw it as.
I have also heard that unicorns, much like other horn-based mythical creatures such as the jackalope, may have been the result of an animal with keratosis or a cutaneous horn or something of that nature. Either the subject in question had a particularly large one or it was fairly small and grew with each retelling of the story.
Some early art though does look a lot like a rhinoceros. It's my understanding that the horse-like art didn't start appearing until quite a bit later, but maybe my memory is off. How dangerous/fierce they were regarded in most early tales also connects them to rhinos.
I like the idea of unicorns being wardens against evil, but also mixing it in with them being like a rhino: sweet as a puppy if raised by humans, but outside of that it’s like trying to annoy a bear to wake up, you’re basically risking your life being next to one

Paint your 'nids like unicorns man. It's clearly a sign. Everyone expects the purple or red alien bugs, but the sparkly glitter rainbow swarm will buckle the hardest of hearts.
My guess as to why they’re creature type is celestial instead of fae is as a call back to medieval Christian art where they were prominently I’m used as symbols of purity and sometimes to symbolise Jesus Christ.
Had a player in a Discworld campaign who was a Pictsie Celestial Warlock who was running around with a greatsword made from a unicorn's horn he'd stolen as his pact weapon.
I am playing a simplified DND game with my wife and kids. My six-year-old daughter insisted on playing as a unicorn. We are using elf wizard stats but her mini is a unicorn.
In my setting I decided to run completely wild with their mythical connection to virgins, and made them massive cockblockers. They'd become attached to some poor virgin and "protect their chastity" regardless of what that person wanted. Unicorns were considered a huge pest, and nobles would hire adventurers to chase off the annoying horned horse that was keeping their heir from getting married. This also started in 4e where Unicorns were Fey.
I love the idea of the party randomly being in a unicorn’s forest without knowing it while traveling and then having all these effects take hold and never have them find out why without some serious good rolls or a lot of investigation/research. They can’t start their fire at camp. The rouges curse completely disappears and then comes back the next day as they travel further.
cursed underdark bard who has a violin strung with unicorn hair and a unicorn hair bow, who plays forever because if they stop making music the healing magic undoes itself on their spider-loving posterior and they melt like the ARK openers in Indiana Jones.
The bbeg of my current arc is a Unicorn who was sent by celestial to defend Camelot but Camelot was destroyed by a Death Knight and his horn was lost turning him “Evil!!!!” and the ruler of a goblin warclan
It should be noted that unicorns in medieval heraldry are no less tied to war and conflict, they were a symbol of righteous or valorous conflict. Which ties in nicely with how they work in D&D.
My party stumbled upon a balor trying to do doek nefarious stuff near a portal to the feywild, and I have never seen a group happier to ask a unicorn for help
Just wanted to put my favorite unicorn interaction I read in a story here. In this world there are like three kinds of magic, demonic magic, not relevant to the story, a form of academic magic that basically uses equations and such to make magic do precisely what you want and nothing more or less, and the wild magic which is easier to use, but you dont know how it will carry out your request. Also you will have to agree to pay a specific price for every spell. Could be forgiving an enemy, or rescuing a cat in a tree, or planting some flowers, maybe overthrowing an evil empire, but you have to agree AND perform the payment or else bad things happen. The main character discovers he has the wild magic while living in a mage city that is REALLY against that style so he has to flee for his life. He uses the wild magic to basically ask for help escaping and he gets sent a unicorn that says "I will take you to safety, but there is a price. We are bound together for a year. If you are at any point during said year not chaste and celibate, i will have to kill you." They spend the next few books partnered together as crazy stuff goes down, he meets an entire brotherhood of elven unicorn knights he works with, and he eventually fully serves the year. They stay friends but are no longer partners as his unicorn buddy is well aware he is intending to get involved with someone and not so eager to remain chaste and celibate forever. :p
In my Kingmaker 2e game I was able to get a unicorn for a player who wanted one as a mount he said he wanted one for some years my PC was building a little forest for Fey and animals called Forever Green so my PC was able to hook the player up with a new mount
Love the use of MLP FIm in the video and you seem to know of the cast and have some con pics, is there something you're not telling us? I would like to point out MLP FIM did give us the term Alicorns too. 0:57 Also Faust defiantly picked the right hill
It's so funny that Wales and Scotland are the only countries in the world who picked a fictional animal as their national animal and they picked dragons and unicorns respectively.
Exploring the world of unicorns is magical! From their mystical powers to enchanting adventures, Unicorn Academy captures the imagination and brings these mythical creatures to life in the most incredible ways.
I've been planning on making a Fey paladin who was killed in the past but revived by a unicorn funnily enough. It granted him it's horn and that's what keeps him alive, and without it he'll die again. The horn is still connected to the unicorn though, so it'll go back to the unicorn if it gets separated from his body. The unicorn suffers no ill effects from this arrangement. All I need is a name for the unicorn.
I've got a unicorn in my games that wears a "tiger" fur cloak that gives it immunity to spells of 5th level or lower. Unrelatedly (I swear), did you know rakshasa are vulnerable to piercing damage from good creatures?
I need to see if I can figure out how to place a unicorn into my campaign... hmmm. Also, now that you mention it, after watching this video I do feel different.
In the specific context of the British monarchy the lion and unicorn don't refer to England and Scotland. Rather the lion represents the king's secular role as King of the United Kingdom, while the unicorn represents the king's religions role as head of the Church of England. Don't know what the deal with the chains is, though.
Fun fact, the unicorn is actually us, the scottish's national animal, and in ancient text is the supposed predator of the lion Scotland forever, happy pride
Unicorns in folklore were kind of badass. You didn't want to fuck with them. The idea of maidens taming them was a subversion of the usual tropes of the time.
“Everywhere else, it’s the good and neutral guys in danger.” We really saw this play out in a Kingmaker game I played in. The GM ran the same campaign plan across two groups simultaneously, and was horrified to find out the good party were way more murderous than the party I was in of AnCap dirtbags. The problem it turns out is that good characters feel compelled to beef with evil creatures, whereas characters with no moral compass can parlay with anyone if it profits them. “These violent and stupid ogres are robbing people along this road, you must fight to the death.” “Actually, when their health is low, we offer to spare them and teach them about tollbooths in exchange for a cut.” “This naga is scamming a tribe of kobolds into a murder cult.” “Sounds profitable, can we get her to strike a martial/labor alliance with our city?” “Children in your caravan have gone missing, eaten by a dreadful hag your followers want killed.” “We wish to ask her what quota of children we’d need to look the other way and allow to ‘go missing’ in commission for her services as an alchemical consultant-“ “Oh COME ON” Like in addition to these real examples, we eventually had a Barghaest wearing a Disguise Self hat to masquerade as a dog as one of our advisors, a giant cyclopian Sorceror my character had adopted to exploit as an enforcer, an Aranea he was on the cusp of becoming romantically entangled with out of respect for her mercantile principles, and probably others I’m forgetting. It betrayed us almost immediately and we had to put it down, but we even tried to ally with a redcap. The NPC we got along with the worst was the dryad the module explicitly expected players to ally with because it also instructed that she should start as a combat encounter so she refused to parlay at all at offset and my character never stopped being annoyed she was totally unreasonable till we had her down to half health

And thinking about the fact how unicorns in their old depictions are pretty goat-like, we can assume that such goats could very much be the source of this mythical creature.

It betrayed us almost immediately and we had to put it down, but we even tried to ally with a redcap. The NPC we got along with the worst was the dryad the module explicitly expected players to ally with because it also instructed that she should start as a combat encounter so she refused to parlay at all at offset and my character never stopped being annoyed she was totally unreasonable till we had her down to half health
The Fleecemane Lion is lower cr and still legendary
Rhino make the thumbnail a 10/10.
I've heard it said that unicorns are actually goats.
Cool flip on the idea.

Thanks for making me gay… I knew something was missing (a buff bod, great hair, beautiful smile, ability to cook, fun to be with, many friends, dance like a dream, keeps a perfect house, first with the best new music, exquisite fashion sense etc) but now I have all these things! Your videos really are magical 🥰... happy Pride 🏳️🌈.

What's crazy from the European perspective is that unicorns aren't real, while giraffes are.
2:15 Ain't that the f*cking truth
The "Lion" on the British and scottish cote of arms are actually leopards. Lions look to the sides, leopards look at you
Think a fart would be enough? Unicorns are kinda horses and I know for a fact they fart... alot.
There is also the real unicorn...a goat with a head issue that fuses the horns together.
And thinking about the fact how unicorns in their old depictions are pretty goat-like, we can assume that such goats could very much be the source of this mythical creature.
also was already QAF. but now even more so. ty
