Are any of them good to eat? I seem to remember eating one and it having a negative effect.

White and gray are safe to eat, black is not. White purifies you, grey neutalizes you, and black I can;t remember because i never eat them. If you are trying to get a permanent state then do not eat unicorns, it removeseven perma states. On the other hand if you found a ring of polycontrol and just drank from every fountain form UT1-GC8 and ended up permaslowed and permaconfused then seek ye out a unicorn.

I also find that the best way to deal with magic mushrooms is to kil them and eat them so that they do not re-spawn. Unicorns could come in handy here too.

Great for training and for dying. The things have a nasty tendency of polymorphing into invisible, levitating octiron golems.

Thats exactly why you have to eat them befire they take over a level. It is the best way to deal with them IMO. Use a stethescope and if you get polymorphitis and don;t have a ring of polycontrol then just go in and out of the magic bubbles until you get it. then go eat a unicorn or hang out on a cleared level or in town til polymorphitis wears off.

As does trying to train on magic mushrooms.

I'm inclined to think eating unicorn corpses makes you more chaotic (so it'd hurt lawful/highly neutral god relations).

Hmmm, even the ones that hurt you would cause you to go Chaotic? You'd think you would be doing the gods a favor by getting rid of them.

VIGILANTE!

I'm just doing some testing now.

Black unicorn corpse:
Eating it gives you every single status in the game.

White unicorn corpse:
Eating it gets rid of any negative status you have except polymorphitis, teleportitis and confused.

Gray unicorn corpse:
Eating it will get rid of every status except teleportitis.

All will make you more chaotic.
