About this project and animal:

Animal Type: Mammal

Animal Name: Unicorn

Physical Attributes: The Unicorn is a large, four-legged, long horn. It has roan markings on its legs, face, and tail. In the Spring, buttercups and clovers often sprout from its mane and tail. This particular unicorn has cloven hooves that allow it to walk over water. If it finds its lifelong companion, it will wear a collar around its neck or base of its horn.

Mystical Attributes: It has a special affinity to water. It is able to walk on water and make all safe for consumption. The horn (alicorn) is thought to be both the source of its strength and power, as well as a source of healing.

Healing Properties: The unicorn is particularly gifted in healing magic. They have the ability to bring life to, and restore a purified state to all living things. They are able to remove toxin from blood, and can mend broken hearts.
