Unicorn

The Unicorn is a hardmode enemy from The Hallow. It always drops a valuable Unicorn Horn when killed. It is a very fast adversary and has a rather large amount of health. It jumps approximately 7 blocks high or 14 feet high. These factors, combined with a high damage output, can make fighting it difficult.

An effective method of fighting them is to use a Chainsaws or a very fast Sword, as their knockback can hold the Unicorn in place. Ranged-oriented players will need to use Grappling Hooks or Angel/Demon Wings to avoid damage from Unicorns. Another method is to dig a hole just big enough to stand in and use a Dark Lance or other spear, since the unicorn cannot follow down a two-block-wide shaft.
