About

Red unicorns are normal unicorns corrupted by demons. They live in enchanted forests and attack any goodhearted creatures that attempt to enter. At times, these monsters ally themselves with other evil creatures.

Fiery Horns. The red unicorn’s black horn is a deadly tool of evil. Not only can the monster spear a victim, they do fire damage as well. Using dark magic, the horn can send out magical fire bolts at will. Evil spellcasters and alchemists attempt to gain red unicorn horns for use in spells and potions.

Hot-Tempered. These unicorns are violent and cruel beings. Unlike other unicorns, they are not stealthy and always make their presence known. They are not suitable as mounts as their bodies are dangerously hot.
