The Russian Cannon
Chapter 2
The Russian Cannon is in fact a misnomer. The Licorne (French for "unicorn) is the name of an 18th century Russian cannon. The cannon was named after the unicorn-shaped handles on the barrel of the guns. The breed is French in origin.
The most frequently domesticated breed, the Cannon resembles a common horse the most, but its main and tail are much longer, even to the point of dragging on the ground. You must never cut the hair of a unicorn! It must be elaborately braided instead, preferably with flowers woven into it. This can be time-consuming if you own more than one unicorn.
Pompous to some, this breed prefers the finer things to eat, such as hazelnuts, truffle mushrooms, and cacao nibs.
The fragile ego of this unicorn can be compared to that of a Hippogriff.
