The Unicorn remains the second-fastest vanilla mount in Oblivion and boasts impressive attacking stats for a mount.

With a decent speed and excellent resistances, the only downside of the Unicorn is that you aren’t allowed to keep it.

While you can ride and fast travel with the unicorn, it will always walk away and leave once you dismount. It does not count towards your “Horses Owned” statistic, either.

Since you cannot permanently keep the unicorn, you sadly cannot put any armor on it.
