A majestic horn spirals from its noble brow, radiating a soft, ethereal glow. Its mane and tail cascade like flowing silk, each strand aglow with celestial energy.

Despite its immense power, it is gentle and compassionate, often appearing in times of need to offer aid and guidance to those who are pure of heart.

Habitat: The Celestial Unicorn dwells in the most sacred and pristine corners of the world, favoring places touched by divine magic and untouched by the taint of darkness. It can often be found in enchanted forests, sun-dappled glades, and hidden valleys where the boundaries between the mortal realm and the celestial planes are thin.

Modus Operandi: As a celestial being, the Celestial Unicorn’s modus operandi revolves around spreading light, healing, and hope. It uses its magical horn to channel divine energy, bestowing blessings of rejuvenation and restoration upon those in need. Whether it’s aiding weary travelers, healing the sick and wounded, or protecting the innocent from harm, the Celestial Unicorn acts as a beacon of compassion and goodwill.

Motivation: Driven by an innate desire to uphold goodness and purity, the Celestial Unicorn’s motivation lies in serving as a guardian of divine ideals. It seeks to counterbalance the darkness and corruption that threaten the world, using its powers to inspire hope, foster kindness, and defend the innocent. In doing so, it strives to bring about harmony and balance in the mortal realm, embodying the virtues of compassion, courage, and righteousness.

Unicorns normally attack only when defending themselves or their forests. They either charge, impaling foes with their horns like lances, or strike with their hooves. The horn is a +3 magic weapon, though its power fades if removed from the unicorn.

Magic Circle against Evil (Su): This ability continuously duplicates the effect of the spell. A unicorn cannot suppress this ability.

Spell-Like Abilities: Unicorns can use detect evil at will as a free action.

Once per day a unicorn can use greater teleport to move anywhere within its home. It cannot teleport beyond the forest boundaries nor back from outside.

A unicorn can use cure light wounds three times per day and cure moderate wounds once per day (caster level 5th) by touching a wounded creature with its horn. Once per day it can use neutralize poison (DC 21, caster level 8th) with a touch of its horn. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Wild Empathy (Ex): This power works like the druid’s wild empathy class feature, except that a unicorn has a +6 racial bonus on the check. Unicorns with druid levels add this racial modifier to their wild empathy checks.

Magical Strike (Ex) A unicorn’s gore attack is treated as a magic good weapon for the purposes of damage reduction.

Skills: Unicorns have a +4 racial bonus on Move Silently checks. *Unicorns have a +3 competence bonus on Survival checks within the boundaries of their forest.
