Unicorn

You are the most universal mythical beast ever. Sightings of the unicorn have been reported from all over the world, even in these modern times. Unicorns are pure and incorruptible.

In China, unicorns symbolised gentleness, good will, and wisdom. Christianity links the unicorn with Christ. It is said that unicorns would only allow virgin girls to see them, let alone touch them. They were easily lured into fatal ambushes by a virgin with some poachers waiting for the unicorn in nearby bushes.

A unicorn's horn was a highly prized possesion, which was reputed to have great healing capabilities. With the touch of its horn, a unicorn could bring back a person who had been dead for several hours. But when detached from the unicorn's body, the magic was significantly reduced and could only protect against poison.

The unicorn had the body of a horse, a unique spiralling horn, and a lion's tail. They were pure white in color.

Congratulations, you are a rarity amongst mythical beasts. There aren't enough of people like you in the world.
