The Unicorn of New York City

In the dreamscape of New York, a sparkling unicorn rushes past Pete, and Brennan notes it has also put glitter on itself UC E1·00:23:26. It speaks in a Southern belle accent and asks Pete if he is new to the place, saying he feels real as hell UC E1·00:23:49.

The unicorn is a glittering dream creature with a Southern accent who greets Pete in the dream version of New York UC E1·00:23:49. In UC_02 a unicorn made of snow appears as Kugrash's Spirit Totem, and Brennan says the players recognize it as the Inwood unicorn UC E2·00:51:11. A wild magic surge summons "the unicorn from the moon bridge", who asks if the train should move and sends it rocketing off UC E8·01:42:02 UC E8·01:42:15 UC E8·01:42:33. On arrival at Nod it is described as purple, sparkling with gold, and skitters off with an invitation to party UC E9·00:01:02 UC E9·00:02:16.

The Unicorn of New York City is one of the three spirits of New York that Kugrash relied on, and the only one that is a mythical creature UC2 E9·00:37:46 UC2 E10·00:05:55. It is the same unicorn Pete met on his first day in the dreamscape UC2 E9·02:02:57. In UC2_09 the party runs into a room in the Metropolitan Museum of Memories in Nod and sees a beautiful unicorn chained to the ground and covered in blood UC2 E9·00:37:46. Brennan names it the Unicorn of New York City, one of Kugrash's totems, and says four animated suits of armor on Barding hover over it, stabbing it with lances UC2 E9·00:37:46. A card calls it a mythical Cloisters resident UC2 E9·00:38:14.

It silently casts Pass Without Trace on Sofia UC2 E9·00:42:08 and says in a Southern accent, "Oh hey there, sugar. You look great." UC2 E9·00:42:37. Pete casts Banishment, folding the unicorn into pure Dreaming where the armor cannot reach it UC2 E9·00:44:11. Back again, it greets Pete, saying "I was one of the first people you saw in your first day in here" UC2 E9·02:02:49 UC2 E9·02:02:57 UC2 E9·02:03:00. It says the banishment felt like "a three and a half hour acid trip" and that "time has been weird in Nod recently" UC2 E9·02:03:13 UC2 E9·02:03:22. It has not seen the other two great spirits in a long time, the juicy cockroach and the spicy pigeon UC2 E9·02:03:38 UC2 E9·02:03:54. It also says "I would not order at Chick-Fil-A." UC2 E9·02:04:26.

In UC2_10 it heals everyone as the party leaves the Arms and Armor exhibit UC2 E10·00:02:29. It says the three were called to each other in the mid 90s and found by Kugrash UC2 E10·00:06:33. At the Gladiator headquarters in the vision it says "There are so many people that everyone's just ignoring." UC2 E10·01:44:21. It says the dragon of Bleecker Street called forth it and the other two UC2 E10·01:51:53, and that if all three were together they might be able to reach out to Kugrash in some way UC2 E10·01:57:07. In UC2_18 Rowan comes out of the vault followed by the three spirits of New York UC2 E18·01:26:03.

In the battle for the hoard the Unicorn, Perry and Marty try to call Kugrash back. The Unicorn's first roll fails UC2 E18·00:21:42, and when Sofia tells it "It was the right move, Unicorn" UC2 E18·00:22:14, it answers "Thanks, hun, I'm tryin'!" UC2 E18·00:22:17. On its next roll it succeeds UC2 E18·00:56:11, calling "Kugrash, we need you! Come back to us! Please, sweet rat Jesus!" UC2 E18·00:56:44. The newborn dragon of Harlem looks up to find itself surrounded by the cockroach, the pigeon, the unicorn and a Faerie queen UC2 E18·00:58:23. In the epilogue the three spirits surround Sofia, and the Unicorn says "As long as someone is here to tend to the forgotten of New York, we will be there at their side." UC2 E18·01:37:33 UC2 E18·01:37:42.
