Most adult yunikons have an elegant air when moving around, with their heads held up high. Male yunikons fight constantly for what one would assume to be dominance but do so in a very apathetic manner. It appears the yunikons know the unicorns act this way and try to mimic the behavior, but they lose interest almost completely and stop soon after they start. Female yunikons watch them do so, mimicking the unicorns as well, but have no interest in picking the winning male as a mate and continue to watch in the same bored manner long after the males have stopped fighting. The only thing the yunikons have an interest in is consuming paper. They get so into it that they sometimes bite another yunikon's leg or tail. Fortunately, they regrow what they lost with the help of the paper they've just eaten.
Creating a yunikon is not about casting a complex spell but about folding the paper into the perfect shape. Once the paper is folded, the spell needed to animate it is simple. Sometimes people like to add some flavor to it so their yunikon is different from the standard ones. But even in those cases, the yunikon acts like all other unicorns: it eats, sleeps, and prances around. When it comes to food, the yunikons eat small pieces of paper, slowly consuming them and thus growing in size every time they feed. A curious thing about the yunikons is that once they reach a specific size, they will shed the old paper. They sleep on top of paper piles, remaining motionless for many hours. To wake a yunikon, one needs to recast the animating spell. They do not show emotions as they have no life, but they are cute enough for people, especially young students, to keep a few yunikons as companions.
