Are there any Russian specif myths about unicorns?
Anything would be useful. I've been scouring the internet for unicorn myths and all I get is the generic one.

I'm not sure there are Russian unicorns, but you can check out k'i-lin or look up "Japanese Unicorn". They're much different than the classic unicorn, and could give you some fresh twists.

If you're looking for non-generic unicorn info, the karkadann and shadhavar are also worth checking out.

As for Russian unicorns, the only thing that comes to my mind is Indrik the Beast.

I've looked into the k'i-lin before, have to check out the other two though, thanks :3
Bummer I cant find anything Russian, the story seems to be basing itself off a few other vaguely Russian things and it'd just make me happy to keep on like that.
