Creature #14: Karkadann

Karkadann is a type of Unicorn from the traditions of Persia, India, and North Africa. The name Karkadann comes from the Sanskrit kartajan, meaning 'Lord of the Desert'. Described as white in body, as large as a rhinoceros and with a tail like a loin, the Karkadann had two or even three hooves on each foot. Unlike the white or silvery horn sported by most unicorns, the Karkadann has a black spiraling horn in the centre of it's forehead. It is extremely fierce and known to hunt creatures as large as an elephant. Only the song of the ringdove can calm it: so fond is the Karkadann of the sound of this song that it will go to great lengths to protect a nest of ringdoves.
