Magical Hide (Ex) A twilight unicorn adds its Charisma bonus as a deflection bonus to its Armor Class.

Magical Strike (Ex) A twilight unicorn's gore attack is treated as a magic evil weapon for the purposes of damage reduction.

Shadowy Demise (Su) When a twilight unicorn dies, demonic energies contained within its body are released, creating a shadow demon in the space previously occupied by the twilight unicorn. This demon inherits all of the twilight unicorn’s memories, and acts on the twilight unicorn’s initiative count. The demon cannot use its magic jar and summon spell-like abilities within 24 hours of its creation, but is a full-strength shadow demon in all other respects.

Unicorns are staunch protectors of their woodland homes, but not every unicorn is able to prevent dark magics from afflicting its territory. When a unicorn's home forest is corrupted by foul magic, the creature may choose to make the ultimate sacrifice, performing a ritual that absorbs the taint afflicting its territory into its own body. A unicorn that absorbs dark magics in this manner becomes a creature known as a twilight unicorn.

Caught between darkness and light, a twilight unicorn is a creature of shadow. While the tortured creature is not actively malicious, its noble impulses are blunted by dark desires, rendering its behavior unpredictable. Above all else, a twilight unicorn strives to preserve its own life, at the expense of others if necessary, for it knows that the dark magic contained within its body will be released in concentrated form upon its own death, giving birth to a demon spawned by the unicorn's own damaged soul.
