Goonicorns
What are Goonicorns? In short: Goonicorns are unicorn-like, anthromorph creatures that have some parts made of goo.
Some parts are always made of goo, like the mane and the inner flesh, some can be made of goo, but don't have to be. They have Charms that swim in the goonicorn's slime. They are mostly peace-loving and can use magic related to their horns.
Goonicorns come in many different forms. They can be born of any gender, tall or short, fat or thin, muscular or delicate. Like different breeds of horses, they can have different snouts, from cute and nudge-like ones like Arabs have, to round, roman noses. They come with many different traits, like different ears and horns, some normal and classic, some more imaginative. Some traits are rarer than others, and some Goonicorns have very special parts that others don't have, like fins or wings. Every Goonicorn is a bit different, but they all have one thing in common:
They're kind of gooey.
One characteristic that connects all Goonicorns is the goo. It comes in all shapes, from very transparent to almost solid, can be wet like slime or thicker like tar, and it in comes in all colors, though mostly in one color. Their flesh is also made of goo, but not parts like bones and organs.
What all pureblood Goonicorns have in common is that their mane and tail are always made of goo.
Some say that a Goonicorn is more powerful the more goo is visible outwardly. Other parts than the mane can also be made of goo, such as the horn, the hooves, or even complete body parts. These traits are rare and inheritable.
A thing that also every goonicorn, except for a few unfortunate individuals, has, is a horn. A Goonicorn needs Its horn to work magic and to control its goo, even if this magic does not necessarily has to come out through the tip of the horn.
Goonicorns can either have a horn made from goo or one made from a keratin-like substance. If it is made of goo, Goonicorns can only control and produce goo with it. If it is made of keratin, they can cast normal magic, but they can no longer control their goo and it can be destroyed more easily.
Another thing that all Goonicorns share is that everyone has charms which floats inside their goo. Goonicorns are born with this and it consists of a keratin-like substance like the horn of some Goonicorns.
How many differnt ones a Goonicorn has is different, a Goonicorn can have very many or just one or two in its slime. The charms can also have different shapes, but this is again associated with degrees of rarity. Some rumor that there are even very rare Goonicorns that have living charms in them. Some say that the charm tells something about the character of a Goonicorn, some say It tells something about the fate, destiny or talents of a Goonicorn and some say that it has something to do with where the Goonicorn comes from, but which or whether a theory of it is true is not known, only that the charms do not necessarily have to be inherited.
Not much is known about the culture of Goonicorns. Most of them lived in exclusive communities and small villages in nature, far away from larger cities or other societies.
They had a good bond with plants and animals and were self-sufficients, who, with their many talents and individuals, lived in harmony with their surroundings. Most were peaceful and happy where they were, but not every Goonicorn aspires to a life in one of the villages. Nowadays there are more and more goonies who are drawn to other groups or cities, or who move out in search of adventure. Many villages are getting smaller and not every Goonicorn is looking for a life in harmony with nature ... but there are stories, about Goo fairies who still live apart from Goonicorns. They are the direct ancestors of all Goonicorns and have the greatest potential for magic. Pure goo fairies always have fairy ears and a curled horn, and very often they have very long hair that grows back quickly. They have the power to form new, independent creatures with their slime, with which they live together, but this permanently consumes part of their slime.
Goonicorn characters can be used in any setting/AU.
