31 Monsters!

Tonight's monster is a fierce cousin of the sweet and lovely unicorn.



From Monstropedia:
The Karkadann was a mythical unicorn-like creature said to live on the grassy plains of India, Persia and North Africa. The karkadann was an extremely ferocious beast, driving away from its territory animals as big as the elephant.

But it wasn't always ferocious. This monster had a soft spot.

Legend says that the ringdove would perch upon a karkadann's horn and sing a beautiful song which the karkadann enjoyed. It would stake a territory near a nest of ringdoves and would guard them jealously.

Karkadann's probably originate from fossils, animals that lived past their prehistoric epochs, or rhinoceroses, but where is the fun in that?
