Shadhavar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shadhavar is a type of unicorn in Persian folklore which resembles a gazelle with a single hollow horn. When wind blows through the horn, a melody is produced not unlike that from a flute. The music attracts both human and animal alike. Once an animal is near, the shadhavar will use the opportunity to attack its prey. The shadhavar can be thought of as an "Evil Unicorn."
Many similarities can be drawn between the shadhavar and the Sirens from Greek mythology that endangered Odysseus on his journey.
A shadhavar is one of the mounts available in the online text-based game Legend of the Green Dragon.
