The Unicorn

The Unicorn looks like a horse with a single tall spiriling horn. Over the centuries there are stories about people hunting for them. It is told that the horn of a unicorn has many magical properties. The horn is supposed to be able to heal with but a touch and to be able to nullify poisons in food and drink on contact.

People say that there is only one way to capture such a creature. It's magical nature makes hunting it in traditional ways useless. If a band of hunters even get close the unicorn will vanish into the forests. The only way to catch a unicorn is for a virgin maiden who is pure of heart to attract the creature. The unicorns only appear willingly to very good people. When the unfortunate unicorn approaches the maiden the warriors will then spring the trap.
