Unicorn

Monster Manual 5.5e

Majestic and Magical Forest Master

Habitat: Forest, Planar (Feywild); Treasure: Any

Caption

Unicorns are majestic defenders of forests. They are revered by many Fey and other forest dwellers, and they do whatever they can to ensure the peace and health of those who shelter in their wooded realms.

Unicorn Lairs

Unicorns dwell in unspoiled forests, particularly where benevolent Fey creatures live.

The region containing a unicorn’s lair is changed by its presence, creating the following effects:

  • Obscuring Foliage. The unicorn and its allies have Advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks while within 1 mile of the lair.
  • Positive Energy. Whenever a creature within 1 mile of the lair regains Hit Points from a spell, it regains the maximum number of Hit Points possible. Additionally, the effects of curses are suppressed within 1 mile of the lair.

If the unicorn dies or moves its lair elsewhere, these effects end immediately.
