their distribution is interesting, but how they effect the area around them is much more interesting. Reputable unicorn sightings tend to be in forests with abundant wildlife though this could just be caused by size and the unicorn preferences, many do beleive the unicorns presence created an air of 'good luck' to the forest, lower animal infant mortality, seeds more likely to germinate, fruits particularly full of neutrients, better immunity top disease and sickness and the strangest accused is the animals, by a few accounts, that reside in forests along with unicorns, seem to be able to avoid bullets or arrows much swifter, even when they are hit by projectiles, it always seems to miss an artery.
there is a myth that unicorns create a 'forever spring' in the forest they reside in. This, as far as possible, has been observed to be untrue and likely against the unicorns wishes. A 'forever spring' would throw off the health of the animals and plants of the forest, and unicorns, of course, would dislike that.
