For the first time I came across the Grove, and killed the Minotaurs. The Unicorn chased me all the way to Bravil where she proceeded to kill 3 bandits that had joined in the chase, the one lowely guard that came to my defense and a wolf that got mixed up in the whole she-bang. The stable jockey ran like hell, and lived! I came out of Bravil and rode the Unicorn.

Can someone explain to me how she goes from hate- to love- hate so quickly? I read the Wiki, and saw about the weapons, but quick change back to calm animal?

Any other funny stories?

It's really just that simple - whenever you pull out a weapon at her, she'll charge. The quick change might've been due to the fact that she managed to kill everyone in sight holding out weapons / being hostile towards her.

It kinda funny we kill it as soon as it charges little guy never had a chance

I would loved to have seen that. :laugh:

If I had known better I would not have done this quest, being satanic in its undertons as it is :shakehead:

Also it would have been nice to have a unicorn around

I suppose most unicorns are to be considered angelic, but the Cyrodiil Unicorn isn't much of an angel. I had a bandit chase my character one time and I figured I'd try running over to the unicorn with my weapon sheathed to see if she would help. She wasn't much help. My character was just about dead and the bandit still pounding away on him, while the unicorn kept missing the bandit. So I pull out my weapon for self defense (remember, my character's just about dead) and what's the unicorn do? Joins the bandit in attempting to finish off my character.

The unicorn must have had a bad day I guess :wink_smile:

Well, if the unicorn's day started off bad, I certainly didn't help the situation. The unicorn persisted on finishing me off, so I had save my own hide and take out both bandit and unicorn. :shrug:

I think that unicorn is pure evil incarnate.
That unicorn is just pretending to be a majestic noble creature till you drop your guard, then it attacks. It gets some sort of sick thrill out of lulling you into a false security before it goes berserk, like it feasts on torment.
Always felt random to me what it would decide to attack (that's why I started a thread concerning the unicorn not too long ago).

I fought the minotours with my sword, had the unicorn attack me, ran all the way to the nearest city, only to relise I had a bounty on my head, ran all the way to the city with the Brotherhood, got into the well, waited a few days, came back outside, paid the bounty, went back outside and found at least thirty gaurds attacking the unicorn only to try and help the gaurds, attack the unicorn, then get ANOTHER bounty on my head for, god knows, some how hitting a gaurd, and relising I spent ALL my money on the previous bounty, and had a bunch of gaurds PLUS the unicorn, who forgave the gaurds, attack me, and on the YOU ARE DEAD screen, see the unicorn and the gaurds walk away. I freakin' hate that stupid thing! He makes me run and believe that he and the gaurds are enemys, only to spite me down and lure me into a trap! I think the unicorn doesnt come from heaven, it comes from HELL. I'm absoultly sure that when this HORSE DEAMON was put in it was the six hunred, sixty sixth, animal to be put in the bloody game!

The Unicorn was probably the single most shocking thing in Oblivion for me. Not once had I ever heard of this Unicorn, and when I first encountered it I just thought... wtf... So i killed the two minotaurs, and when the unicorn continued to attack me I ran like hell. It followed me, just like it followed you, and killed everything we came across. So finally I ended up at one Ayelid ruin, I forget which one, but it had one of those long stone dock-like walls extending into the bay.. I ran the length of the dock-wall thing and turned around to see the Unicorn kill the last of the bandits who had set up camp at the ruin. Like in a horror movie, the Unicorn relentlessly charged towards me. Seeing no other option, I leapt from the dock, and thought I had finally found safety. Not the case. The Unicorn leapt straight off of the dock towards me (leapt is an exaggeration, it ran off) and into the water. I soon realized the demon's weakness... it could not swim. The unicorn stuck in the water, I swam to shore, returned to the dock, and stared down at the beast. For the hell of it, I decided to jump back in the water. Then I was given the "ride" option, and sure enough, I was riding this spawn of Dagon right out of the Niben towards the Imperial City.

My pacifist alchemist, who never kills, has twice been rescued by the unicorn. On the last occasion, she was attacked by a boar, and had jumped up on a rock, out of the boar's reach. She was about to cast calm on the animal, when the unicorn came bursting out of the bushes and killed the beast.

I think this particular unicorn can be symbolic of beauty which disguises something less pleasant (or evil, if you will) beneath that beauty.

Then again, if left alone it doesn't go out of it's way to harm anyone.

I was content with leaving the Unicorn be, until I left Bravil and found her to be very congenial. I decided to ride her, and then found that she was my transport for fast-travel! I took her out for a hike, and we fell off a mountain side and she did on Clavicus Vile's Shrine! I'm pretty sure it was his shrine. So anyhow, now I have a Unicorn Horn as a quest item, and no transportation and I have a dead Unicron desecrating a Deadric Shrine! Geesh.....

Love the stories! Great name- 'Spawn of Dagon'

You didn't think that horn on its head was full of magic did ya?
