... Two people were groping in night. They were in which nobody in the world wanted to come, battlefield after fight and they were item collectors. That's a disgusting job they always had to grope in thousands of copses. Smell of blood and flesh make them feel sick but that's the job brought to them much money. Under gentle light of crescent moon, all thing turned blurred and more scared. The silence and death covered upon whole the place. The people were rummaging to find precious things under copses' clothes.
"Look! There!" said one of them, hinted to the silver light in the distance.
They stopped and both went toward the place, thought they would get something valuable. It's usual with them precious things always lit up in night. They approached to a pile of copses and what they saw was nothing but a strange creature. Whole the creature was surrounded by silver light. Its horn head was bending down. Silver tears were dropping down. It's crying. The creature was so charming and beautiful that made collectors turned dull admiring it. Seconds later, the creature seemed to realized them, it leap up and then vanished. The collectors woke up.
"What's that?" they said....

Unicorn has various of shapes, sizes and colors.
Fistly they are described as creatures like giraffe, one of exotic creatures brought to China. They have some parts of other animals, horns of deer, mane of lion, beard of goat, scales of fish or oriental dragon, and a big long tail of ox. They are vegetarians, quiet and kind-hearted. The creatures walk on grass without disturbing it. Therefore, they are always described to walk or run on clouds or water.
Later, they are described as creatures half dragon (oriental dragon) and half animal. They can appear in body of ox, deer or horse with dragon's head. The head is combination of many parts of other animals, the head form of camel, nose of lion, round eyes of lobster with thich eyelashes, beard of goat, antlers of deer (maybe one or two antlers), ear of dog, mane of line. They can have fur up on their stag-like hooves which always flow up or upward curly but maybe they get wreaths of smoke or fire on their feet instead of fur. They have ox tails and always, their bodies are covered in hard scales.
Golden color is the color people think best but they also bring other colors or maybe one can have many color on its body. That relates to the abilities and powers they have. They can owned the power of elements, precious metals, gem stones, earth, stars... Therefore, their showed in the color of things give them power, white, red, brown, golden, silver, blue... and always brilliant. They get high intelligence much more than human being. They can easily know whether a person is innocent or not, good or evil. They can speak and their voice sounds like the tinkling of bell, chimes and the winds. They are considered as the kindest and quietest creatures. They never harm or tread on any of animals or people but they will turned fierce if they see any of evil deed. That time, they are fearsome creature which spout out fire or exercise fearsome powers. The wicked is always punished. No word can express the power they show as they turned angry, the powerful creature which's only behind dragon and phoenix.
