Pristine Unicorns are rare, even in Irollan. They are found in only one place, on the shores of the Sun Crystal Lake. Unlike the other Unicorns, they are not sacred to Sylanna, but to Elrath, Dragon-God of the Light.OffBck
The pristine unicorn is the alternate upgrade to the unicorn, the fifth-level creature of the Sylvan town, in Heroes of Might and Magic V: Tribes of the East.
Compared to the silver unicorn, the pristine unicorn has slightly higher HP and higher maximum damage, but lower attack, defense, and slightly lower minimum damage. The biggest difference between the pristine unicorn and the silver unicorn is that, instead of Aura of Magic Resistance, the pristine unicorn has Child of the Light instead. It won't protect itself or its allies from hostile magic, but it will gain any Light Magic boosts that the enemy uses. This is great if the Unicorn is your main attacker or if you are up against heroes that are likely to get Light Magic (such as Wizards, Knights, Rangers, and Runemages), but if you have treants or are up against heroes that are unlikely to get Light Magic (such as Demon Lords, Necromancers, Warlocks, and Barbarians), the silver unicorn may be more useful to protect against hostile spells.
Just like with the silver unicorn, the Blinding Attack ability can disable an enemy stack if it triggers, but it should not be relied upon.
