The Unicorn Field Guide

I know you’ve been waiting a long time for this, and it’s finally here!!
The Unicorn Field Guide

Unicorns of the Thermos-Heating Variety:

Most unicorns serve useful purposes in society. This particular unicorn benefits society in two ways:
1.       It keeps things in thermoses warm
2.       It eliminates the necessity for physics to be needed to explain why thermoses are able to keep things warm
If getting rid of physics isn’t enough for you, you’ll be glad to know that this is only the beginning of the capabilities of unicorn magic.

Unicorns that Serve as Artists:

These abstract-looking unicorns have the ability to both inspire artists and to create art themselves. They are surprisingly able to function in normal unicorn society despite their strange appearance because all the other unicorns appreciate their creativity. Without these awkwardly-shaped creatures, the realms of the unicorns would be drab and colorless. Actually, there just wouldn’t be any unrecognizable sculptures or random paint splatters…

Gusty, the Unicorn of Pure Awesomeness:
Gusty is a one-of-a-kind unicorn from 1984, and is actually famous! She has appeared on television and also on video. Oddly enough for a superstar, she has a very awkward voice.
Naturally, her horn has magical powers, and with it she can control gusts of wind. She has used this power to trap rainbow-colored raindrops in a barrel, and, more recreationally, to play polo with her friends.
In a more modern setting, she spends her time looking pretty on my shelf and making people smile!

Math-Altering Unicorns: The Lepers of Unicorn Society:

Although these unicorns look sickly, they’re actually just ugly. When first discovered, it was observed that all other varieties of unicorns relentlessly shun and taunt this poor creature.
These unicorns seem to deserve our collective pity. In truth, they deserve the mistreatment, for they have the most terrible of all powers: the ability to alter mathematics.
You know when you’re solving a math problem, and suddenly you are stuck and don’t know what to do? Or maybe when you go to check an answer with a friend, but you realize that you have done the whole problem wrong? You have just been victimized by these cruel math-altering unicorns.
