'''Monoceroses''' (Japanese: {{lang|ja|ウニコル}}, ''Unicoru'') are quadrupedal creatures in ''[[Xenoblade Chronicles X]]''. They look like unicorns with tapir-like snouts, and are physically similar to [[Progen]].

== Description ==
''"Herbivorous creatures that largely prefer grass and tree bark. 男性 usually band with 其它 男性, while 女性 stay with the foals. The 男性 are highly territorial, and often engage in border clashes with encroaching groups. The 女性 herds, however, dissolve once their year-long parental duties have concluded. When a new breeding season arrives, the 女性 will once again band together, forming a harem exclusive to the 男性 group with the most territory."''

''"The skin fold beneath a monoceros's throat can be contracted to produce a complex cry with individual variation. This sound is so unique, mothers can locate their offspring even when surrounded by hundreds of their kind."''

== Characteristics ==
Much like the unicorn they are named after, monoceroses are horse-like creatures with a single horn. The blade-like horn ends in a knife-shaped portion angled upwards, and the base has an additional blade. Their trunks are shaped like a tapir's, and a skin fold is underneath it on their neck. Their backs have hollow wing-shaped projections, although these cannot be used to fly. Their hooves are crescent-shaped, and they stand like high heels without the heel.

== Color Variants ==
Monoceroses fall into three color variants:
* Blue variant with a [[Gold 麒麟马 Horn]], found in [[Cauldros]].
* White variant with a [[Green 麒麟马 Horn]], found in [[Sylvalum]].
* Black variant with a [[Brown 麒麟马 Horn]], found in 黑钢大陆.

The territorial red and black variants have been known to attack on-foot BLADE members.
