Unicorns | The Paragon of Purity 

I love the fact that you actually play an instrumental version of "The Last Unicorn" song in the video while you talk! 🦄👍

The Last Unicorn is such a classic novel!!

When I hear a flute rendition of The Last Unicorn...brings a tear to my eye. That film was a great influence on my own world-building. I have an entire Nation of these animals and they retain many classical traits. They cover the entire visible color spectrum, including black. Same for their eyes. The First Queen was solid white and there was never another unicorn that looked like that, save one. Tempest is an Abhorred One, a solid black unicorn with red garnet eyes, but his appearance is the result of a curse set on his species back when the First Queen ruled. It appears at random and only one Abhorred One can exist at any given time. If it hadn't chosen to express itself through him, he would've been solid white himself. It was only recently discovered to be a curse because Tempest unleashed a magical burst of such great power, it disrupted the curse for a short time (and as aside, the burst was so strong, it would've leveled the mountains around him if it weren't for the World Masters being present). Theoretically, all four known Abhorred Ones might have been solid white before the curse chose to express itself through them. I may never know and maybe it's a piece of lore I can leave ambiguious. Unicorns are such a favorite of mine that my chimera persona, Phoenix, has the body of one with the tail of a scorpian and the additional horns of a ram. You can see her headshot as my profile pic there. She has some interesting lore behind why she looks the way she does and why she has her name. She's even connected to the Royal House of the Unicorn Nation (the current Queen is her genetic "mother" and they see each other as kin). Again, that would take an exposition into the deeper lore about how this happened which I won't get into here unless asked.

It's believed that the unicorn myth was inspired by the Narwal, a whale with a horn in the middle of its forehead.

This is one of my favorite videos on your channel. I love unicorns, they are a good example of what beauty and purity truly is. I'm also a Christian and when I read a verse in the bible that mentioned unicorns I was shocked but it makes sense now of how that happened. As someone who loves Medieval history and fantasy films and shows seeing a unicorn on screen makes me smile like in Narnia and My Little Pony. Unicorns rule.

Here's an interesting fact for everyone. the unicorn tapestry seen in 10:34 was used in the open of the movie The Last Unicorn. The only thing they did different was to focus on the animals and to do a little animation. Plus they had the unicorn stand on its hind legs at the end.

The fact you have the song "The Last Unicorn" playing in the background is awesome

Beautiful! Stunningly eloquent introduction & overall coverage of the unicorn! Be the unicorn mythical, it is indeed biblical, as well! My late, & great mom, loved unicorns, & she loved reading the Bible. And she showed me many passages in the scriptures where the unicorn is mentioned. One of those scriptures that comes readily to my mind is found in Numbers 23:22, where it speaks of how God brought the Israelites out of Egypt.,, & Israel, "shall have the strength of a unicorn!" Excellent video, my friend! Thanks for sharing this with us all!🌹💜🌍

I couldn't stop smiling when I saw this pop into my alerts. I'm currently reading Beagle's "The Last Unicorn" and hearing the instrumental cover from the movie adaptation in the background of this video was so soothing. Easily one of my favorite fantasy creatures and this video was an absolute delight as the week comes to a close. Thank you for posting!!

I liked how you put in the flute orchestra of the last unicorn song for the end and especially name dropping the novel of the same name. Very befitting since the unicorn is a stable of fantasy, purity, and immortality

The term "Alicorn" is also what is used for the name of a Unicorn with Wings like a Pegasus in the modern times.

I didn’t even know that Rhinoceroses lived in India before now. One learns something new every day!

I don't know if anyone could hear the background music,but it was from the movie last unicorn and I loved that moive back when VHS was the big thing I watched so much they had to get it on DVD when that was the new thing I still to this day love that movie.

It was also suggested that the Unicorn's horn could also make one immortal.

AH! This video DID answer a question of mine! And yes, I'm aware I could have googled it, but never thought to. I always wondered why Scotland's national animal was the unicorn. It makes sense now! Thank you for answering a long unanswered question of mine! Also I didn't know that unicorn's, the early versions in history, were supposedly colored as they were. I'm used to the modern white. The more you know! So much I did not know before, and now I do! Thank you again for another wonderful, and informal, video!

I do love how we have romanticized this iconic mythical beast. Yes, the rhino is most likely the real world inspiration but personally I feel like there is an older, more ancient animal behind this mythic creature.... Elasmotherium fits the bill perfectly. They are bigger than a rhino and almost as big as a modern African elephant. Plus, they finally died out around 7,000 years ago in the region of the Caucasus mountains.... that's pretty close to the Mesopotamian crescent where most of the earliest accounts of Unicorns come from. And I love telling people Unicorns were real, but they were ugly 😁

I heard of an old Greek legend that when Zeus was just a baby he was being watched over by a Goat named Amalthea, and one day with his great strength Zeus accidentally broke off one of her horns, and Amalthea became the first Unicorn.

The unicorn song by the Irish Rovers: A long time ago, when the earth was still green And there were more kinds of animals than you've ever seen They'd run around free while the earth was being born But the loveliest of all was the unicorn There was green alligators and long-necked geese Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born The loveliest of all was the unicorn Now god seen some sinnin' and it gave him pain And he says, "stand back, I'm going to make it rain" He says, "hey, brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do Build me a floating zoo" And take some of them green alligators and long-necked geese Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born Don't you forget my unicorn" Old Noah was there to answer the call He finished up making the ark just as the rain started fallin' He marched in the animals two by two And he called out as they went through "Hey, Lord" I've got your green alligators and long-necked geese Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees Some cats and rats and elephants, but Lord, I'm so forlorn I just can't see no unicorn" Then Noah looked out through the driving rain Them unicorns was hiding, playing silly games Kicking and splashing while the rain was pouring Oh, them silly unicorns There was green alligators and long-necked geese Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees Noah cried, "close the doors 'cause the rain is pourin' And we just can't wait for no unicorns" The ark started movin', it drifted with the tide Them unicorns looked up from the rock and they cried And the waters came down and sort of floated them away And that's why you'll never see a unicorn, to this very day You'll see green alligators and long-necked geese Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born You're never gonna see no unicorn

They also became popular with male viewers thanks to MLP: FiM.

Awesome video, I love these fantastical creatures

Love unicorns, this was really interesting!

I've always had a thing for unicorns 🦄 Thank you!!

nice video, unicorns are among my favorite mythical creatures! there's just something so moving abt them to me.

You just want to believe there's at least 1 of these out there in the world.

Funny story, Marco Polo mentioned unicorns on his travels to China which turned out to be real, albeit in the form of a (now extinct) Rhino species. And a Doje in Venice during the Renaissance ordered two after he thought that the other one was fake. I joke, but this is actually true.

Lol Anyone else notice the theme song from The Last Unicorn movie playing in the background?

Awesome as always

i love this stuff!! so cool!!

Unicorn 🦄

Many people also confuse the term "Bicorn" for a Two-Horned Unicorn, but in Old English Tales the Bicorn is actually described as a Flesh-Eating Monster that is Part-Cow, Part-Panther, and has a Human-like Face, and it's counterpart is a Flesh-Eating Cow called a "Chichevache", some try calling a two-horned unicorn a "Duo-Corn", but according to "Urban Dictionary" a duocorn is what they call a Man dressed up as a unicorn(because men already have a horn in their lower regions if you catch my drift), which makes it sound like it's talking about a Male $+r1pp@r wearing unicorn underwear with a horn-like sleeve where the You-Know-What slides into(not really something that children need to see), so personally I prefer to address a two-horned unicorn as a "Two-nicorn"(Two + Unicorn = Twonicorn), and call a Three-Horned Unicorn a "Trinicorn"(Trinity + Unicorn = Trinicorn), just sharing my thoughts here.

This made my day, thank you.

I love your Channel thanks

The last Unicorn 🤔? Never heard of it.

Only Stories I can find with this sort of content are Fairy tale videos on RU-vid can;t even find old fantasy .

The Bible mentions unicorn ( Douay Rheims Bible )

Heart out to the background song. I'm alive!

cool there was some myth i about the unicorn but now i learn some more. i half expected to find that there was some dark myths about the unicorn but glad i was wrong.

Men was unicorn, before he was cut in two in the corn on top of the head, creating duality and twin souls. At this time we started recovering our unity and our unicorn. And undivided mind. 2:59

‘Sangere de unicornio’ is something you should check out. It shows the darker side of man and unicorn.

I been trying to find Unicorns for all my life

"The Paragon of Purity." Tell that to the citizens of Dundee under Angus McFife I. FIREBALLS AND LIGHTNING ARE RAINING FROM THE SKY CHAOS AND BLOODSHED WHILE ALL THE PEOPLE DIE IN THIS EPIC BATTLE, BEGINS THE FINAL WAR TRAGEDY WILL STRIKE THIS DAY, PREPARE FOR THE UNICORN INVASION OF DUNDEE!

(Sigh) When you find out the unicorn is just like any other innacuratly drawn animal in beastiaries, not a deliberate fantacy chreature.

I just 🤍 #Unicorns🦄 💛 all your video's mate 👍.

I wish they were real maybe they are but humans would only try to kill them off

The Last Unicorn song ? That's cute

The eye of Horus kemet 🇪🇬

When you see it in dark age or medieval art.

I mean they didnt have a word for blue. So I mean it's real loosey goose descriptions with ancient people

There is a verse in the Bible that talks about behemoth leviathan and unicorn...seriously check it out..

#TheLastUnicorn 🦄 in the thumbnail

Or that they didn't know they were looking at al rhinos

❤🦄❤🦄❤🦄❤🦄❤🦄❤🦄❤🦄

Rhinos

And it's not just for girls!

You should make a video talking about orcs.

Quite the opposite of the questing beast

The unicorn is what prehistoric Native Americans called the Wolly rino.

MU2024!

Unicorns aren't mythology they are a heavenly horses.Isaiah 34:7 so they are true and they does exist, I wanna ride one if I will come back here on earth 😅 in the war of the gods.😅😅

Oh I thought it was supposed to represent Jesus. But you know that would be a boring story

First 💙

In the Kama Sutra the rhino horn is recommended as a condom. I guess every lady in the room just crossed their legs and swore? Kama Sutra is not a nice book. Second half is a guide to domestic abuse..

No such beast and Jesus Christ is NOT the son of the unicorn! NOT!!! Merely a nice fantasy.
