Unicorns are real! as told by Iugulare

"Get comfortable, because this story is true, and unlike what many idiots believe, Unicorns are not cuddly horses! In fact...", Iugulare smirks, "they're infectious just like me."

"Where people got the idea that unicorns are nice creatures is beyond me. They hate the world, hate all creatures, and to cross one would be unfortunate. Yes, unicorns look like horses, but their 'skin' is really an infection like mine is. Their bodies are completely gelatinous. They do, however, have organs and bones, and yes, their lone horn is part of the skeleton. Now, this is where unicorns are much, much different than what has been told about them."

The stoat sits, "Unicorns do not graze, but instead are predators. They devour other animals, engulfing them through their body or otherwise just eating them. They digest their prey whole, bones and all. Unicorns are one of the few species in the world that does not leave anything behind. Now here's the interesting part - they cannot reproduce on their own. They must find a pregnant animal, such as a doe, horse, cow, ox...really anything, and impregnate it. How they do so is interesting, too. They partially engulf the pregnant creature and somehow are able to make the young within them mutate into a unicorn. Don't ask me how they do it, magic I guess.", she waves her paws in the air as she says this. "Any pregnant creature that births a unicorn will have a painful, painful experience. The newborn unicorn is vicious, as it already is growing it's horn, hooves, and teeth while within the womb. It kicks, bites, and stabs at the mother while it is being born.", Iugulare shakes her head, "And all births are fatal to the mother."

"Something else, too. The old unicorn dies as soon as the new unicorn is born. Now you understand why the world isn't infested with these horrors - for some reason there can only be one in the world at a time."

"Now you may ask, 'Where is the current unicorn living?', well nobody really knows for sure, but I think I have seen one running around in the Endless Forest. So, yes, you may be eaten by it one day. Maybe now you might consider letting me infect you before the unicorn gets you, hmm?"

Iugulare stands, "There is the tale. I have nothing left to say to you, other than this...", she vanishes, but her last words speak clearly:

"Sleep tight!"

Don't ask me how they do it,

Don't ask me how they do it, magic I guess."

hehehe that made me laugh xD

Really? Because her agenda in

Really? Because her agenda in the telling is pretty obvious. Remember, kiddies, never trust a narrator with an agenda.

XD Iug always has an agenda -

XD Iug always has an agenda - go find someone to infect and become her minion!

If I write another one told by a baddie, it'll probably be Nekumbra, the spider deer, next. I haven't come up with an idea for her story yet, so it'll probably be a while before I write hers.

Mhmm, there's plenty to hide

Mhmm, there's plenty to hide from in the Endless Forest apparently.

In fact, we have a whole book of TEF Villains that lists everyone we have to be afraid of.

I guess it's a good thing we have TEF Heroes too. Eye
