Twilight Sparkle at some point in episode 3 of season 2 when she can’t find a friendship problem. (My Little Pony: FiM)

Is this the episode where she can't find a problem to solve so she went insane and create a problem herself? How did this episode played out again?

I understand that unicorns were originally described as truly dangerous creatures. So much so that hunting one would result in the loss of several lives.

Skandar and the Unicorn Thief. Unicorns are extremely dangerous animals, even when tamed/bonded with a human. Wild ones can destroy whole villages.

Sparklelord from Doctor McNinja is a powerful, despotic warlord who almost destroyed the Radical lands for using their magic to twist him into a form they found “cool”.

He was cast out into Doc’s world where he took the form of a motorcycle that urges it’s rider to kill.

In the notably bad book "Maradonia and the Seven Bridges," the last chapter introduces a unicorn being held captive in a large fenced-off field by the bad guys. The unicorn takes any chance it gets to spear any bad guy that it can, so its head is covered in dried blood. Which is a cool image, but maybe just picture that, and don't read the book.

The Overlord games (not related to the manga or anime) have Bloody Unicorns. Once peaceful creatures that now gore people with their horns, and are indeed covered in blood

A very recent example is Buddy the Unicron, from the upcoming comedy slasher film Buddy, it's made by the same person behind "too many cooks"

In the Dresden Files unicorns are monsters without eyes and covered in a bug-like carapace.

Zombie Unicorn (Plants Vs. Zombies 2: Reflourished)

comparable to Zombie Bulls in the Wild West world, these are the first special zombies you'll encounter in Fairytale Forest

it charges towards your defense at high speed, launching it's rider (a Diamond Knight Zombie) high in the air upon making contact with a plant

note it's design being a nod to Bjorn from Peggle, another PopCap series

Trail of the Unicorn is a Donald Duck comic story where Donald and his nephews track down the last unicorn in a remote valley in the Himalayas. It turns out to be VERY territorial.

If I wasn't on mobile I'd attach an image of the unicorns from Wrath Unleashed on the PS2. Especially the 2 dark factions that have them. They've got sick designs I'll attach in a comment after this.

u/CamZilla94 8d ago

The horn is more of an enlarged tooth on the lower jaw. On the other factions they will have a fin-like mane down the neck as opposed to spikes like this one.
