The Evil

**The Evil** is the main antagonist of *Unicorn: Warriors Eternal*. It is an ancient, malevolent entity of corrupted magic, that seeks to devour all existence until only it remains. The Evil serves as the adversary to the Order of Unicorn, who formed to vanquish the entity.

## Appearance

The Evil lacks a physical form, instead manifests as an amorphous form of magic that has the appearance of cyan-colored fire with yellow and green highlights, sometimes with green eyes and a mouth. It is, however, able to take the shapes of creatures and animals. In the Cosmic Realm, it manifested a face when fighting Unicorn directly.

## History

The entity's origin is tied to Merlin, Morgan, and their daughter, Melinda. When Melinda was a child, Morgan discovered she possessed powerful dark magic that surpassed hers. Morgan tried to forcefully take the magic from Melinda, but Melinda's magic counteracted Morgan's and corrupted it, which, in turn, reduced Morgan to a malevolent magical entity.

This magic soon took on a life of its own and kept Morgan absorbed inside to make her its heart. The Evil went on a rampage across the world. Merlin and Melinda recruited two more warriors, Edred and Seng, to stop it. While the group succeeded in weakening it, the Evil used a portal to escape to another time and strike again. Thus, the warriors formed the Order of Unicorn and pledged to continue their fight against the Evil wherever and whenever it would reappear.

Through the centuries, the Evil returned to attack civilizations in the form of mythical beasts, and every time it was fought off by the reincarnated forms of Unicorn courtesy of Copernicus.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Magic**: As an embodiment of living magic, the entity can control a corrupt form of Morgan's magic at will.
	+ **Time-space manipulation**: The Evil can move through time and space in order to move through later eras. After absorbing the Cosmic Realm, its control boosted incredibly, not only commanding time itself, but converging multiple settings from different time periods into a single location.
	+ **Energy manipulation**: The Evil has the ability to make magical energy constructions, such as arms. It can also blast energy as attacks or create energy giants to serve as its army.
	+ **Cosmic awareness**: The Evil can manifest inside the Cosmic Realm and the real world simultaneously. However, it is not physically present inside the Cosmic Realm in the same way Seng is. When it managed to enter the realm, it gained complete sensory awareness of the Cosmic Realm after it consumed the realm.
	+ **Shapeshifting**: The Evil can morph into various forms, as it did across the different eras when it fought with Unicorn.
	+ **Possession**: Through unknown means, the Evil can possess individuals and take control of them. Those who are possessed have the entity's magic crackling from their eyes, unless hiding.

## Trivia

* The Evil's magic has been wielded by June Way suggesting there is a connection between the two.
	+ Although June Way's magic and Morgan's corrupted magic are identical, Genndy Tartakovsky clarified Morgan and June Way are not the same entity.
* When other characters are affected by the Evil's magic, their eyes glow green. Interestingly, the werewolf sailor that Winston encountered shared this trait.
