Name Origin:
The unicorn is a legendary animal that has been described since antiquity as a beast with a large, pointed, spiraling horn projecting from its forehead. The unicorn was depicted in ancient seals of the Indus Valley Civilization and was mentioned by the ancient Greeks in accounts of natural history. The Bible also describes an animal, the re'em, which some translations have erroneously rendered with the word unicorn. In European folklore, the unicorn is often depicted as a white horse-like or goat-like animal with a long horn and cloven hooves (sometimes with a goat's beard and/or a lions tail). In the Middle Ages and Renaissance, it was commonly described as an extremely wild woodland creature, a symbol of purity and grace, which could only be captured by a virgin. In the encyclopedias its horn was said to have the power to render poisoned water potable and to heal sickness. In medieval and Renaissance times, the tusk of the narwhal was sometimes sold as unicorn horn.

About the Tine Creature

Tine are a magical love creature that make Valentine's Day in Ark very exciting and unpredictable. If the slightest amount of fur from their heart-shaped tails rub up against you (which is virtually impossible to avoid if you have one), you'll instantly fall in love. The bad part is you do not have control who you fall in love with. Thankfully, their magical power only works on February 13 and 14 and wears off as soon as the clock hits midnight.
