Zebracorn [Unicorn]
A striped, stubborn savannah unicorn that dazzles foes with colored light, can wear any shape it likes, and turns on evil creatures the instant it touches them.
Appearance
This tropical unicorn bears black zebra stripes on a sleeker, lighter frame than a zebra's, usually with soft brown eyes.
Combat
Three times daily it can loose color spray from its horn, and three times daily it can take any creature's form, as polymorph self at 11th level. Its favorite disguise is a powerful, hairless, black-skinned human warrior who, though unarmed, can handle any weapon it has watched a human use.
Habitat and Society
A stallion and several mares roam the equatorial grasslands, moving on so no ground is overgrazed. It accepts any proven friend as a rider, but its touch detects evil and it attacks evil beings at once. Headstrong and unpredictable, it is often called pig-headed.
Ecology
It feeds on coarse savannah grass and usually ignores quarrels that are not its own, though no one can be sure. Its horn goes into potions of polymorph self.
