View source for Unicorn mount

<table><tr valign="top"><td>
'''Unicorn''' mounts were introduced as a standalone rare tier [[mount]] at the 2022 [[Rumor Woods]] event, following the release of unicorns from [[Caligos Isle]] during the conclusion of its questline.  While they are sold alongside [[Horse mount|horses]] and share many common qualities, unicorns are classified separately from the other types of mounts.  As a result, items that are made to work with horses do not necessarily work for unicorns; items for unicorns clearly state this in their {{boldmono|ANALYZE}}.  Unicorns are summoned by reins, which are a [[summoning item]] that stores their information but is considered a separate item.

Unicorns only exist as a rare tier mount.  There are no common or uncommon types of unicorns available.  They also come in two forms, white and black, corresponding to the two types of unicorns that were released from Caligos Isle.  As with other mounts, unicorns can be given a name visible to the owner with a [[Potion of Naming]], available at [[Evermore Hollow]].

{{TOC limit|2}}
==Appearance==
Purchased unicorns come in the form of '''a gold-horned immaculate white unicorn''' and '''a silver-horned raven-sheened black unicorn'''.  While they can be altered at the [[RWShop:Ostler's Den|Ostler]], their grooming options are very limited compared to other horses.  White unicorns must remain white, and black unicorns must remain black.

===White Unicorn===
<pre{{log2}}>
With a regal bearing, the unicorn observes the world through cerulean eyes, and dense white lashes frame her steady gaze.  Her coat, from muzzle to rump, is immaculate white, with only a bit of pink found within the shell of her ears.  The forelock, mane, tail, and fetlock feathers are a different story, having a subtle opalescence that reflects a pastel rainbow.  Her hooves bear a glittering golden sheen within their natural keratinous formation, and her spiraled horn boasts a far more lustrous finish.
</pre>

===Black Unicorn===
<pre{{log2}}>
From muzzle to tail, the unicorn is an uncompromising shade of black with a blue-violet sheen resembling that found on a raven's wing.  His eyes are onyx-hued, flecked with bits of silver so delicate they seem little more than curls of metallic leafing.  His mane and tail are long and silky, and the tufts on his fetlocks bear the same lustrous coloring common to corvids.  A subtle shimmer of silver glints in the natural keratinous formation of his hooves, and his horn is a matte-finished argent spiral.

===Special Ability===
As with all rare mounts, unicorns have a special ability unique to them.  Associated with one of their random ambient messages, a unicorn may cry in grief due to being severed from the dream realm, resulting in a single teardrop falling onto the ground.

<pre{{log2}}>
Casting her gaze skyward, the unicorn's demeanor changes subtly as a pall of forlorn silence overtakes her.  Starlight reflects in her eyes and slowly coalesces into a single teardrop that glides down the contours of her white face to splash upon the ground.
</pre>

Anyone who touches the teardrop will gain a temporary alteration to the [[Character feature#Unique Feature Field|unique feature field]] that looks like:  ''A shimmering sheen of (pearlescent/nacreous) light washes over every inch of (his/her) exposed flesh.''  White unicorns cause a pearlescent sheen while black unicorns cause a nacreous sheen.  If the teardrop is not touched, it will evaporate after a period of time.

In addition, as the unicorns are mischevious and magical creatures from the drealm realm, they have a chance of giving their owner a dream while they are summoned.  Receiving a dream causes the owner to briefly fall to the ground asleep.  Upon waking, a physical item may be found in hand as a memento of the dream.  This cannot happen while the owner is mounted.  There are a wide variety of possible dreams and mementos from them.  There are 62 different possible dreams.

===Ambients===
<pre{{log2}}>
Kaleidoscopic mists disperse into the air as the a gold-horned immaculate white unicorn shuffles back and forth, attempting to gain your attention.  She approaches you, butting her head into your body, carefully aiming her gold spiral horn away while she awaits a thorough rubbing.

A gold-horned immaculate white unicorn meanders over to you, turning to her side to stare unblinkingly at you.  Several seconds pass and you blink, the unicorn whinnying in delight at her victory.  You share a moment of quiet reflection before you both turn away and you murmur something about a rematch.

A gold-horned immaculate white unicorn glances invitingly around the area, turning her head side to side as though in search of something.  With a subtle snort, the unicorn whinnies and turns around, beginning another search on the opposite side.

Raising a foreleg, the white unicorn paws impatiently at the ground.

A gold-horned immaculate white unicorn canters about in a small circle, her smooth hooves creating geometric designs across the ground.  She completes her loop, bowing her head low to admire her creation.

A gold-horned immaculate white unicorn turns her head to the side as she flicks her free-flowing opalescent tail to-and-fro.  Emerging from the confines of her white coat is a single orange monarch butterfly, tumbling to the ground before escaping into the open air.  The unicorn snorts as though entertained, glancing about for another playmate.

Noticing an ebon-laced orange monarch butterfly, a gold-horned immaculate white unicorn begins to curiously follow the bug around the area.  The unicorn stays within reach for a long moment before the orange monarch butterfly twists around and flutters down to rest upon the unicorn's gold spiral horn.  The a gold-horned immaculate white unicorn remains still for a long moment before the orange monarch butterfly rises once more and flies away.

A gold-horned immaculate white unicorn suddenly rears back, her spiraled gold spiral horn glinting in sunlight as she lands softly back to the ground.  She whinnies to herself in amusement before repeating the process once again.

Your black unicorn glances around the moonlit area, his eyes meeting yours as you both spot a languid figure limbed in the shadows.  The unicorn approaches the figure, the folds of their heavy hood turning back and forth as it shakes, their arm gently waving the unicorn away in a reassuring gesture.  As the figure dissipates into the shadows, the unicorn trots alongside you, leaning slightly into your form.

==Additional Information==
===Dreams===
As of June 2023, there are 62 possible dreams associated with unicorns.  Both black and white unicorns share the same dreams with their owners.  Dreams have a chance of leaving an object in the hand of the owner when they awake that is directly related to the events in the dream.

===Bugs on Parade===
One of the random ambient messages will reference insects seen as part of the [[Bugs on Parade]] series.  While the bug is not turned into an object, it is taken directly from what types are possible in the given room and will be some sort of large winged insect.
<pre{{log2}}>
Noticing an ecru-spotted ebony butterfly, the white unicorn begins to curiously follow the butterfly around the area.  She stays within reach for a long moment before the ebony butterfly twists around and flutters down to rest upon the white unicorn's gold spiral horn.  She remains still for a long moment before the ebony butterfly rises once more and flies away.

===Feeding Your Mount===
Feeding a mount is not mandatory, but it is a fun roleplaying option.  Mounts will not eat anything that is not part of the basic food system OR a foraged item, but they all trap on specific nouns.  For unicorns, the list of nouns includes:  blueberries, buttercup, butterflyweed, caramel bacon, corn, cream-coated ambrosia, daisy, goldenrod, moonflower, peapod, puffs/clouds of spun sugar, rainbow sherbert, shimmershroom, sugar-glazed pomegranate, tundra grass, and flower.
