Unicorn

Unicorns were magical and majestic, single horned, equine-like creatures, which dwelled exclusively in Narnia.

Appearance
Unicorns physically resembled horses. They were usually white, and had single large, pointed, spiraling horns projecting from their foreheads.

The horns were sometimes an icy-blue colour (like that of Jewel), while other unicorns' horns were gold or simple bone-coloured.

Notable Unicorns
Unicorns were present at several important events in Narnian history: -


 * Jewel
 * Peter's Unicorn

Unicorns were members of Aslan's Army during the Winter Revolution, and at least two were sent with Edmund's rescue party when he was held captive of the White Witch. Peter also rode a Unicorn into the First Battle of Beruna.

Jewel the Unicorn was a loyal follower of Aslan, and a long-time friend of Tirian, during the Last War of Narnia.

Characteristics
Unicorns were such noble and honourable creatures that "not even a king would think of riding a unicorn except in some great need."

All known Unicorns were fiercely loyal to Aslan, and well known for their wisdom.

In battle, they were fierce opponents, and few enemies could deal with the attack of their teeth, hooves and horn all at once, as was said of Jewel the Unicorn by a historical chronicler: -

"He was so gentle and soft of speech that, if you hadn't known, you would hardly have believed how fierce and terrible he could be in battle."
