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 Chainsaws or very fast Swords, as their knockback can hold the Unicorn in place. Also if you fight them in water they are slowed enough for normal knockback from Swords to be effective. 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.
