While some dragons fiercely guard their hatchlings from would-be predators, others give no parental care at all. But nest robbers, be warned - this is because those hatchlings are perfectly capable of dispatching would-be predators themselves. #Smaugust

Most unicorns are lithe and unostentatious to suit their secretive, forest-dwelling lives - but in harsher climates, you sometimes see more varied shapes and coat patterns. The unicorns of the Great Lakes, for example, have a evolved a certain odd and rugged style all their own.

Well I panicked a bit with the background, but I think I am getting closer to the soft and ripply mane. I learned that you can somewhat erase prismacolors when you’ve overdone it, and that is a very good thing to know when you are not psychologically capable of planning ahead.

Much like snowshoe hares and arctic foxes, some unicorns grow a fluffy white coat to keep them warm in the winter. Unlike the snowshoe hares and arctic foxes, however, these unicorns know exactly how pretty they look in them. #unicorns #HumanArtist

Unicorns don’t seem to speculate on the afterlife, and the concept of vengeful spirits would seem odd to such lax creatures - but what of the softer kinds of hauntings? With such a strong love of herd and home, might not some wish to watch over those things after they’re gone?

When it comes to truly deadly predators, most unicorn herds choose full avoidance, simply migrating to greener pastures. On some rare occasions, however, these usually timid creatures seem determined to take a more combative approach…
