The white unicornMen have always sought the elusive unicorn, for the single
twisted horn which projected from its forehead was thought to
be a powerful talisman.  It was said that the unicorn had
simply to dip the tip of its horn in a muddy pool for the water
to become pure.  Men also believed that to drink from this horn
was a protection against all sickness, and that if the horn was
ground to a powder it would act as an antidote to all poisons.
Less than 200 years ago in France, the horn of a unicorn was
used in a ceremony to test the royal food for poison.

Although only the size of a small horse, the unicorn is a very
fierce beast, capable of killing an elephant with a single
thrust from its horn.  Its fleetness of foot also makes this
solitary creature difficult to capture.  However, it can be
tamed and captured by a maiden.  Made gentle by the sight of a
virgin, the unicorn can be lured to lay its head in her lap, and
in this docile mood, the maiden may secure it with a golden rope.
[ Mythical Beasts, by Deirdre Headon (The Leprechaun Library) ]

Martin took a small sip of beer.  "Almost ready," he said.
"You hold your beer awfully well."
Tlingel laughed.  "A unicorn's horn is a detoxicant.  Its
possession is a universal remedy.  I wait until I reach the
warm glow stage, then I use my horn to burn off any excess and
keep me right there."

You are frozen by   
the floating eyeFloating eyes, not surprisingly, are large, floating eyeballs
which drift about the dungeon.  Though not dangerous in and
of themselves, their power to paralyse those who gaze at
their large eye in combat is widely feared.  Many are the
tales of those who struck a floating eye, were paralysed by
its mystic powers, and then nibbled to death by some other
creature that lurked around nearby.

The imp ... imps ... little creatures of two feet high that could
gambol and jump prodigiously; ...
        [ The Charwoman's Shadow, by Lord Dunsany ]

An 'imp' is an off-shoot or cutting.  Thus an 'ymp tree' was
a grafted tree, or one grown from a cutting, not from seed.
'Imp' properly means a small devil, an off-shoot of Satan,
but the distinction between goblins or bogles and imps from
hell is hard to make, and many in the Celtic countries as
well as the English Puritans regarded all fairies as devils.
The fairies of tradition often hover uneasily between the
ghostly and the diabolic state.

hill orcOrcs, bipeds with a humanoid appearance, are related to the
goblins, but much bigger and more dangerous.  The average orc
is only moderately intelligent, has broad, muscled shoulders,
a short neck, a sloping forehead and a thick, dark fur.
Their lower eye-teeth are pointing forward, like a boar's.
Female orcs are more lightly built and bare-chested.  Not
needing any clothing, they do like to dress in variegated
apparels.  Suspicious by nature, orcs live in tribes or
hordes.  They tend to live underground as well as above
ground (but they dislike sunlight).  Orcs can use all weapons,
tools and armours that are used by men.  Since they don't have
the talent to fashion these themselves, they are constantly
hunting for them.  There is nothing a horde of orcs cannot
use.
