Changes: Unicorn

Revision as of 02:33, 15 July 2009

The unicorn is a species of horse-like creature living on Azeroth. Unlike horses, they have a horn growing out of their head. A white unicorn was the symbol of the high elves of Quel'Thalas and its image could be found on the sails of their Elven Destroyers. Archmagi brandish magical blades and ancient staves while mounted atop their trusty unicorn steeds.Template:Cite
