The Unicorn is a Creatures in ARK: Survival Evolved.

Basic Info[]

Behavior[]

The Unicorn will sometimes appear as a 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, it 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.

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

Preferred Food[]

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.

Roles[]

Notes/Trivia[]

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

  • On single player if you've already tamed one you will have to cryopod it and wait 24 hours of real time gameplay before another wild one will spawn, though you can spawn it through command if you don't want to wait.
  • 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 a popular belief, Unicorns do not increase the chance for twins or triplets to be born.
  • On Valguero and Crystal Isles there may be more than 1 unicorn at the same time
