Unicorns are the shiest race of them all. While they are more commonly sighted than dragons and phoenixes, they are still quite rare in civilized areas. They follow the more European Earth version of the unicorn, with bodies like that of a horse with a single, spiraling white horn set on their forehead. However, they are still unlike a horse, being more delicate and light than any horse ever was or will be. This does not mean that they are weak, fragile creatures. They are fully capable of carrying a human on their back, although it's rare that any of them ever would, only because it's disgraceful.
Their coloring is often a silver or white, but rarely it may be gold, black, or paint. All three are VERY rare. What abilities their horn possesses relies on their coat color. Those silver or white -or, in other words, the majority- are healers and are able to heal with their horn, or purify. Purification is usually done with water to make it clean to drink, but it can be used to purify the land or air, or the mind. The last use is very uncommon to be used, as it involves wiping away every memory of pain from a body, which usually leaves the patient with only basic, basic knowledge and not much else.
Gold unicorns are able to control one of the major elements. One thing that owes to their rarity is that there may never be more than four in existence- one dedicated to fire, one to air, one to earth, one to water. Their powers are vast and often overlap each other. For example, the one for earth can control rocks and also plants, yet the water one may be able to control plants as there is water in them, etcetera. (And, as a side note, there are point when NO golds are in existence.)
Blacks are nearly the opposite of whites/silvers. It's a good thing that they are rare. Their horns cause pain when used, and it may be mental or physical, but never enough to break the mind, never enough to kill it, but just keep it on a brink. And if they don't use their horn for this purpose, they themselves go insane. They don't mean to hurt, and they aren't evil or 'mean', it's just in their nature. Most end up committing suicide by leaping off the edge of Middle World.
Paints are also a throwback, but nowhere near as major as a balck. They may have any color and white in their hide- black and white, blue and white, pink and white, gray and white, etcetera. Rather than being extraordinary, they lack any ability whatsoever. They are most likely to live in Bethanos.
Unicorns are herbivores and will eat any vegetation. Most reside in the Golden Forest away from prying eyes. They are very family-oriented and stay in small herds that have no leader.
