What's the purpose of a Unicorns horn?
I mean they can't use it offensively can they? I'd imagine they'd snap right off and just be horses after that.

To shoot their death-rays.
>>2083813
No such thing

Unicorns live primarily in dense enchanted forests, heavily populated by fey creatures such as brownies, gnomes, sprites, and faeries. As such, their horn is polyfunctional.
When navigating through the underbrush, unicorns will use their horn to push aside brambles and vegetation, thus preventing injury to their pristine shit-eating features.
To understand the unicorn-horn's most astounding feature, however, one must look deeper.
Like all enchanted creatures, unicorns have deposits of magnetite and metallic copper embedded in their frontal lobe. In unicorns, however, these deposits occupy no less than 40% of the volume of the braincase, and actually grow through the roof of the skull.
The magnetite deposits extend through the core of the horn, while the metallic copper winds in wire-like bundles through the spiraling outer layer of the structure.
With a sufficient nerve impulse, the horn generates a magnetic field of sufficient strength to stun or kill smaller faeries and gnomes, as well as royally fuck with the cell phone reception and compasses of any hikers who may or may not be lost nearby.
Because the equipment necessary for these feats occupies 40% of their braincase (which is no larger than that of a mundane horse), unicorns are exceptionally stupid and find this incredibly funny, doing so at any opportunity possible.

What's up with modern unicorn having such short horns and no goatee?
>when did this become sexier than this etc etc

breeders got a hold of unicorns back in the late 1800s and started breeding them for unicorn shows.
I thought unicorns were just hay horses who developed horns so that they could fuck each other in the ass

Unicorns actually use their horns to dig. Unicorn mating is different than horse mating in that it's more like birds of paradise. A male unicorn will dig out a small rivet where the unicorn will then canter in place. The horse with the prettiest canter, and the most well tilled stage wins the female.
Contrary to popular belief, only male unicorns have horns.
Why this?
Like the Narwhals, the "horn" is really just an overgrown tooth that sticks out their head. As in the Narwhal, it's a sensory organ (smells) used to find food and mates.

To help cover up the existence of unicorns
This is a quality thread, but why all the brown recluses? Aren't we talking about unicorns?
>>2084527
"I'm a dork fish!"
Short and harmless horns are only a recent thing due to selective breeding, they're for show only.
Unicorns back in the day could spear other animals and people on that shit.

I rode a unicorn the other day with no horn. It was really sad and there was like 20 of them

That one still has the beard though
They have to use their horn as a form of genitalia. It's whay allows a unicorn to reproduce.
>>2085658
What happens if you remove the horn?

>hay horses
All horses are hay horses anon

They lose their innate ability to purify water and cure disease at will.
>>2086601
It would be extremely painfull
Unicorns are fucking brutal; they're beefy as fuck, sheer muscle mass, and they use that horn to gore the fuck out of their enemies.
To be honest, some people actually believe that lots of unicorn myths came from depictions of a rhino ancestor that moved about more like a horse.

Natural spell casters.
Also dream drinkers.
>mfw I learned herbivores use their horns entirely to fight and kill each other over random 'herd'-related shit like petty squabbles/mating rights/grass claims etc ... rather than use them as defense against predators .. which is actually a happenstance advantage rather than a purpose
It's an extension of their third eye chakra.
>>2083809
its used to seduce young men
the longer the horn the longer the cock
