In Dungeons & Dragons, a Unicorn with a Blanket is a rare and evocative variation of the celestial unicorn, symbolizing divine favor, ancient oaths, and sacred stewardship. The blanket itself is not a mundane accessory but an enchanted mantle, often woven by fey queens, celestial artisans, or druidic circles as a mark of trust and responsibility. It typically rests across the unicorn’s back and flanks, secured without straps, as if held in place by magic and will alone.

This blanket serves multiple purposes within the lore. It may act as a protective ward, granting resistance to corruption, disease, or planar influence, reinforcing the unicorn’s role as a guardian of sacred groves, ley lines, or holy relics. In many campaigns, the blanket bears runes, embroidered symbols of nature gods, or sigils tied to ancient compacts between mortals, fey, and the celestial realms. When the unicorn moves, these markings can faintly glow, reacting to threats against the natural balance or acts of true malice nearby.

Narratively, a Unicorn with a Blanket often signifies a quest hook or divine message. Such a creature may appear when a sacred site is endangered, when a worthy mortal must be tested, or when a long-forgotten vow is close to breaking. The blanket may also serve as a key, map, or prophecy, revealing hidden paths or lost truths only to those deemed pure of intent.

Unlike war-trained mounts, this unicorn is not meant for conquest. Only individuals of exceptional virtue, usually paladins, clerics, or druids, might be allowed to ride it, and even then only temporarily. To harm or steal the blanket is a grave sacrilege, often drawing swift retribution from both nature and the heavens. In essence, the Unicorn with a Blanket embodies protection, purpose, and the living bond between the divine and the wild.
