Darkness Aura (1/Day). A 15-foot radius area of magical darkness emanates from the unicorn, spreading around corners and moving with it. Darkvision and natural light can’t penetrate it. If the darkness overlaps with an area of light created by a 2nd-level spell or lower, the spell creating the light is dispelled. The darkness aura lasts for 10 minutes or until the unicorn takes damage. The aura doesn’t hinder the unicorn’s sight.

Legends and Lore
With a Nature or Religion check, characters can learn the following:
DC 10 Unicorns are celestial beings of pure good that protect enchanted forests in the Dreaming and on the Material Plane.
DC 15 The touch of a unicorn’s horn can heal the sick or grant a boon of good luck or protection.
DC 20 Even the inherent goodness of a unicorn can be corrupted. Corrupted unicorns use their magical horns to summon inky shadows.
Using magic to break a unicorn’s will is the villainous aim of some fiends and wicked spellcasters. A corrupted unicorn has lost its connection to its deity or domain. While such a unicorn is not always evil, it follows the commands of its corruptor. A corrupted unicorn often wears a visible sign of subjugation, such as a bit and bridle or golden chains.
Unicorns inhabit sacred forests on the Material Plane and beyond its borders.
CR 5–10 unicorn ; corrupted unicorn ; unicorn with 1d4 dryads , pixies , satyrs , sprites , or wood elf scouts

Celestials are creatures native to divine realms or heavens. Celestials have alignments, such as Lawful Good. Most celestials are good, although the servants of evil deities can be evil. Angels are celestials.
