Unicorn

A unicorn is a mysterious, majestic, chaotic good magical beast found in Toril. It resembles an imposing and beautiful white horse, with glowing eyes, a silky mane and tail, and the stereotypical spiraling, shell-shaped horn coming from its forehead. Unlike a horse though, they have cloven hooves, and males have a goat's beard. Unicorns are highly prized for the magical properties of their horns and their value as mounts.

Characteristics
Unicorns exist to protect forests from intelligent creatures. They dwell deep within their forests, and shun most creatures, only conferring with feys such as pixies, dryads, and sprites, showing themselves only when they have to save their forests. Unicorns are strongly magical creatures, with most of their abilities coming from their horn. They can live up to 1000 years, and show effects of aging only weeks before death.

Many unicorns revere the god Eachthighern.

Abilities
They are able to sense evil nearby, and radiate an aura which protects them from most evil spells. A touch of the unicorn's horn can both heal wounds and cure poison. Also, once a day, a unicorn can teleport to anywhere within its forest home. Unicorns attack primarily by impaling foes on their horns, or with their hooves.

Unlike most animalistic creatures, are capable of speech. They can speak Common and Sylvan.
