    It's actually not completely lore un-friendly. It's just that getting it to stick around after you get off it so you can ride it again is lore-unfriendly.

    Man, if I had a septim for every time that ******* unicorn would go full psychopath on someone, and stick me with the bounty, in Oblivion... I'd probably have 15 or 16 more gold.

    Not true; the Hircine quest in Oblivion has you hunt a Unicorn.

    There is a quest in Oblivion to kill the last Unicorn. So there is definitely multiple unicorns in ESO's timeline. They are rare and their horns are used for rituals.

    I don't know the entire lore behind unicorns but as I remember you need to earn it's trust and prove you are good? So having one the going on a murder spree in Daggerfall might be lore unfriendly, but don't quote me on that :)

    Actually, the unicorn would go hostile on anyone that pulled a weapon out. Which made it hilariously aggressive. I'm not sure what Bethesda's intent was, but the result was entertaining.

    It's lore friendly, they are just pretty rare.

    But can't be sure of how rare they are RIGHT NOW. We know that in 800 years there will be only one of them, but 800 years is a long time and we don't know how fast their population died off, or how big their numbers were back in the Second Era.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    Well, since Unicorns are referenced in Elder Scrolls I believe they could be added to this game. Would be nice for good/holy characters.

    Actually... not so much, no. The Elder Scrolls' unicorns are psychopaths.

    They are in the lore, but they are very rare, maybe even extinct after the events of Oblivion.

    Hircine obviously has not set up camp in Cyroriil at the time of ESO or there would be at least one unicorn in AD territory between Alessia and Faregyl.

    It heard there was a dog in Skingrad, growling at something, and has gone off to wipe out the entire city.

    Actually unicorns do excite via in Oblivion. You could mount a wild unicorn and tame it making it your mount or kill it and harvest its horn for Hirceins quest.

    I even remember the little glitch you could do with it in Oblivion. You would let a guard kill it. And dump alllllllll of your stuff in it. Reload to new town. Unicorn is back. Let a guard kill it and unload to sell all your stuff. Haha. Called mine Biscuits.

    So in essence. If that little *** was in Oblivion and ESO takes place before Oblivions time....then those little *** could very well be in ESO essentially.
