Abada (Ah-bah-dah)

A member of the unicorn family, the abada was a small horse with two horns atop its head. These horns were blessed with magical healing properties, making them highly sought after. Horns didn’t grow back, and de-horned abadas were regularly killed for their coats. They were not very fast and seldom galloped. There was typically only one foal to a family.

The abada was hunted to near extinction for its horns. Abada horns were found to be an excellent ingredient in the antidotes for various poisons. Most anti-poison recipes called for the horn to be ground up in small doses to be utilized as the primary ingredient in a type of rough paste to be spread over the site of the injection and affected areas. Pharmaceutical companies had entire farms full of abadas so their ground horns could be sold for profit.
