The Persian Unicorn
Chapter 3
The Persian Unicorn, otherwise known as the Karkadann, is one of the fiercest unicorns in the world. They were said to have been born from a demon, and they surely act like it.
Physical appearance:
This beast is nowhere near as delicate or 'dainty' as it's European cousin. No. This unicorn is a whopping 18 hands high at the shoulder and tends to vary in color from dark grey to black. Usually the beast has black or red eyes and a horn that curves sharply backwards like a scimitar.
Temperament
This is NOT a unicorn to mess with, nor is it a best to be taken lightly. This creature in old myths was so vicious that it had been known to kill elephants. It's a violent beast and the only thing known to calm it are the calls of rock doves for some reason. The beast's violent disposition is probably why so many wizards claim it to have demonic origin.
Special Abilities
To speak of, aside from the usual healing abilities, this unicorn is no more magical than your common nag. The only notable powers are strength and speed that rival any cheetah. If you want a beast with renowned magical powers, look to our next Unicorn. But to do that, we will have to travel to the far reaches of Aisia
