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 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 natural spawn 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.

Utility

Roles

---

• 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.
