hello can i have some unicorns :)
Oooh, of course you can! Let me quickly look up some of my favorite sources...
Thomas de Cantimpré has no less than 3 unicorns covered! That's 3 times the amount of unicorns! From top to bottom, you have the monoceros, the Indian onager, and the unicorn itself.
Albertus Magnus gives us this classic animal, looking somewhat heraldic.
This unicorn from the Ortus Sanitatis, though, is rather contemplative looking. And seems rather goaty too.
The rhinoceros (karkadan) from Middle Eastern manuscripts varies a lot, sometimes clearly a rhino and sometimes more fanciful. This version is from a copy of al-Qazwini.
Jonston covers around 9 different unicorns, some of which are horny in more ways than one! (Trust me. Look them up, I've posted them before). These ones look like standard maned unicorns.
Ambroise Paré had a lot to say about unicorns (and mummies, and the plague, and anything else vaguely related to public health). Here is the pirassoipi, a two-horned unicorn (a bicorn?) from Italy
And you know what? I've been sticking to vintage illustrations but here's Rudolf Freund's spectacular historically-accurate unicorn!
Stay tuned for more unicorn imagery!

Another unicorn! I based this one on Ancient Greek descriptions of unicorns in India having blue eyes and tri-color red/black/white horns. They also described them as white with red heads, but I didn’t like that so I gave mine the golden-dun color of Indian onagers (wild asses) and the curling ears of the Indian kathiawari horse breed. I picture these sorts living in the steppes and deserts of South Asia, while ones more like sambars (giant black Indian deer) inhabiting the jungles.

Indian Wild Ass (Equus hemionus khur)
The Indian Wild Ass or Khur is a subspecies of the Asiatic Wild Ass, the Onager.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
Both are classified as Near Threatened (NT) on the IUCN Red List.
Protected under Schedule I of the
Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972, India.
Included on Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES),
making international trade in this species illegal
HABITAT Saline deserts (rann), arid grasslands and shrublands are its preferred environments. RANGE Its biggest stronghold is the Indian Wild Ass Sanctuary in Little Rann of Kutch (LRK) in Gujarat, and surrounding areas. The 4954 sq. km sanctuary spreads across Surendranagar, Rajkot, Patan, Banaskantha and Kutch districts.
In recent times, it has extended its range significantly to encompass the Greater Rann of Kutch (GRK), as well as parts of Ahmedabad district. Stragglers have also made their way to neighbouring Rajasthan’s Jalore district. PHYSICAL FEATURES
Are significantly larger than donkeys; are 200-290 kg in size and 2.1-2.5 m in head-body length.
Males are larger than females.
Coat is sandy, and varies from reddish gray, fawn to pale chestnut.
FAST FACTS
The khuur, along with the other subspecies of the Onager, is the most horse-like of the wild ass species.
It is arguably the fastest Indian animal, and can attain a top speed of 70-80 kmph.
Stallions live singly or in small, territorial groups, while large family groups contain mares, foals and juveniles.
Mating occurs during rainy season and stallions battle over mares.
It was once found in Pakistan as far west as Baluchistan, but it has become regionally extinct there due to overhunting and habitat destruction.
POPULATION An estimated 4,800 Khurs exist, up from 4,038 in 2009 and 4,451 in 2013. The overall trend of the population has been upward since the 1970s, and the Indian population is currently the 3rd largest among all Onager subspecies. THREATS
Changing landuse patterns caused by the Mega Narmada Dam Project and the Sardar Sarovar canals.
Illegal salt panning in the LRK, which greatly disturbs the hydrological regime of the Ranns.
Overgrazing and proliferation of the invasive Prosopis Juliflora has greatly reduced the amount of forage available.
Man-animal conflict is on the rise, due to crop raiding by Khurs.
Many highways pass through Khur habitat, increasing risk of traffic-induced mortality.
