The term "unicorn" is a bit of a misnomer, and disregards supernatural equines beyond the western world. Although common, not all have protruding horns, and some may have more than one. Most notably, they are known for their eternal youth, and do not ever appear older than 30 years of age. However, it is rare to meet a unicorn in person -- especially an old one -- due to their unique blood, which may extend the natural lifespan (though not indefinitely) of any individual who consumes it. They were nearly wiped out during the Medieval ages for this morbid elixir, and, since they are only capable of procreating with their own kind, their numbers have remained low. Still, they are respected for their affinity for magical healing by those who do not wish them harm.

[TYPES - required]

winged horse - Like the Pegasus of Greek myth, these equines are born with large wings sprouting from their sides

waterhorse - Aquatic equines. They have gills, and may have fishlike tails like a hippocampus, or appear relatively normal, like a kelpie.

western unicorn - The stereotypical European unicorn. All have at least one prominent horn atop their head.

kirin - A unicorn typically found in Asia. They have scales and a head which usually resembles a dragon more than a horse.

nightmare - Horses with a dark, smoky (quite literally) coat. They are known for entering the dreams of others, sometimes even acting as a guide.
