About

The black unicorn is an example of how the dark fey are a twisted version of reality. This evil monster is the opposite of its celestial cousin. At home in enchanted forests, it stalks its prey. This fey’s dark form and high level of awareness help it hunt in the shadows.

Toxic Horns. The black unicorn’s white horn is a deadly tool of evil. Not only can the monster spear a victim, it does necrotic damage as well. Using dark magic, the black unicorn can also spray poison with the horn.

Evil Mounts. At times, powerful evil beings work along side these monsters. There are stories of anti-paladins, evil arch fey, hags, or even witches riding on these dark steeds.
