How to actually run it

Tactics

The stat block tells you what it can do. This tells you what to do with it.

1Multiattack: The unicorn makes two attacks: one with its hooves and one with its horn.

2It is a legendary creature with 3 legendary actions between turns; fight it in its lair and it is far more dangerous than the stat block alone.

3It casts spells — read its spell list before the fight and hold a Counterspell or a way to break concentration.
