The Unicorn is one of the Creatures in ARK: Survival Evolved.

Basic Info

Behavior

The Unicorn will appear as a rare variant of the Equus, passively trotting around The Island. When in the presence of a Human, they will become startled and run away. Only one wild Unicorn may exist at a time, making these Creatures even more difficult to find.

Appearance

The Unicorn is similar to the Equus, with the only noticeable differences being the white color, is slightly higher and the horn that protrudes out of the Unicorn's head.

Color Scheme and Regions

The Unicorn always spawns with the same color scheme and has no color regions.

This means it is currently impossible to make alterations to the Unicorn's colors.

Taming

All numbers in these charts are inaccurate as of now. Still need more testing before saying by how much with any accuracy. For now have AT LEAST 10 extra Kibble for Kibble tames so as not to be under and lose the tame due to having to jump off. (update: a 150 Equus requires 31 Troodon Kibble to tame. Times appear to be the same though only a longer total because of the extra feeding intervals)

In ARK: Survival Evolved Mobile, the Unicorn is tamed with Kibble (Griffin Egg).

Taming Strategy

Main article: Equus

---

Much like the Equus, the Unicorn requires Ghillie Armor and a substantial amount of Taming food. However, be aware that Unicorns are much rarer, and thus must be handled more carefully.

You can also pick it up with an Argentavis and drop it in a large pen make sure it can't run into danger.

Do not use any material used to knock out the unicorn, as it will kill it. Using the Tusoteuthis isn't recommended, as it will also kill it.

Utility

Roles

Main article: Equus

---

• Residue Factory: In ARK: Survival Evolved Mobile, the Unicorn excretes Unicorn Residue. Unicorn Residue has many uses, including consumption for a Health, Stamina, and Food boost, while making the survivor dizzy and hallucinative. Unicorn Residue can also be used to create Magical Notes, fish for Leedsichthys, and craft Eery Candy.
• Stylish Steed: The Unicorn has a very beautiful appearance, and riding around on it is a way of showing a tamed Unicorn off. Furthermore, in ARK: Survival Evolved Mobile, the Unicorn produces rainbows when jumping, and come with their own names.

Weight Reduction

The Unicorn reduces the weight of the following resources by the listed amount while they are in its inventory:

Resource	Reduction
Achatina Paste	80%
Cactus Sap	80%
Cementing Paste	80%
Chitin	50%
Clay	80%
Keratin	50%
Sand	80%
Stone	50%

Notes/Trivia

For information pertaining specifically to the real-world Unicorn, see the relevant Wikipedia article.

• Unicorns mostly spawn in west zones 1 and 2 on The Island, but are still relatively rare.
  • On Mobile they can spawn anywhere but only 1 wild exists on the map at a time.
• Wild Unicorns have a yellow outline while viewed with Tek Helmet in scan mode.
• Unicorns can breed with other Unicorns, but cannot do so with other Equus.
• In ARK: Survival Evolved Mobile, the baby Unicorn can be ridden. This is an intended feature of the game.
• The Dermis of an Unicorn will display as Equus instead.
• Contrary to popular belief, Unicorns do not increase the chance for twins or triplets to be born.
