📋 About This Mod

"The Hunter comes here from the Hunting Grounds to hunt new prey, or he brings prey native to the Hunting Grounds, like the Unicorn, to hunt in new forests."

Aspects of Lord Hircine

by Juno Procillus, Oral Traditions of the Reachmen No. 5

This mod brings the Unicorn, seen in TES4: Oblivion, into Skyrim as a summonable mount.

The Unicorn is a peaceful daedric creature native to Hircine's Hunting Grounds, though it is sometimes found in Tamriel. All Unicorns are wild and untamed, so it wears no saddle and its mane is unkempt. However, like any other conjured beast it is bound to its summoner's will, making it a devout steed.

-Unique model and texture

-Greater agility and endurance than other horses, with rapid health regeneration

-Peaceful nature - flees from combat

-Summonable with spell tome hidden in Bloated Man's Grotto

I created this Unicorn for my upcoming quest mod, The Hunting Grounds: Echoes of the Bloodmoon Prophecy. That project is still early in development, so I'm releasing this as a standalone mount.

If you are an exterior or interior level designer and interested in creating content for the Hunting Grounds project, please contact me!

Install: Use a mod manager or install manually, then enable the plugin.

Requirements: None.

Uninstall is perfectly safe.

Compatiblity: No compatibility issues are known, and none are expected. No vanilla records are altered. Some objects have been added to Bloated Man's Grotto, but they are very unlikely to conflict with anything.

Where is the Spell Tome / How do I get the spell?

It is in Bloated Man's Grotto, but it is well-hidden. It should be a fun hunt to find it.

If you want a hint:  You will have to climb. If that's not enough of a hint, here's another: It isn't a super difficult climb, so look around for something that looks climbable. If that's still not enough of a hint, here's another, but this last one will probably ruin most of the fun: Assuming you aren't in the middle of the Ill Met By Moonlight quest (or have recently completed it), it is near a spriggan and a dead elk. And no, it's not inside a treasure chest.

If there are no spriggans then your map is probably in IMBM mode. Your hint is to look around the final clearing along the path.

Note that the spell does NOT work inside Bloated Man's Grotto, since you can't bring horses there. <
