Unicorn

A unicorn is a magical being, looking like a horse except for a spiralled horn placed on the forehead. It has many magical abilities, such as having blood that could provide a longer life for the one drinking it.

The unicorns are considered shy and the purest of breeds, being wise but never being able to utter their wisdom due to their horse-shape. Foals are often born with a golden coat, which turns into silver as the unicorn matures. There are some that turns completely white.

Unicorns inhabit the Forbidden Forest on the Hogwarts Grounds and also exist in Narnia, but in both places they are very rare. It is said that the one who sees a unicorn will have a dream fulfilled, while the one who is allowed to ride one is one of the most honorable and true persons who has ever existed.

A very rare type of unicorn is a pegacorn, which is a unicorn but with wings. These are often portrayed in stories but few have nowadays seen one.

One of Freedom's animagus-shapes was that of a unicorn. When Sandra Roberts became a Guardian, she achieved her second animagus-shape; a pegacorn, implying the rareness that she represented.
