In the heart of the Korath Desert, a mystical creature roamed alongside Ciri, the unicorn known affectionately as Little Horse. The BTS also featured the creature lying with the punctured wound, which Ciri helped with a napkin. While the desert might seem an alien landscape for this magical being, unicorns are not native inhabitants of this arid expanse. With their own language, Ihuarraquax, these majestic creatures share an undeniable bond with Ciri, as both find themselves strangers in this strange land.
Revealed through captivating behind-the-scenes glimpses, the enigmatic Ihuarraquax graces all three images, leaving fans intrigued by its significance in the Witcher universe.
Ihuarraquax’s intriguing presence in The Witcher
In the world of Andrzej Sapkowski’s novels, unicorns are highly intelligent creatures, possessing a deep aversion to the Wild Hunt, not only due to its involvement in the slave trade but also its misuse of power and affiliation with the Aen Elle elves who colonized the unicorns’ realm. Ihuarraquax, closely bonded with Ciri, becomes a formidable guardian.
The mystical desert journey of Ciri and Ilhuarraquax has more to it. It fiercely opposes the Wild Hunt and the Aen Elle’s attempts to possess her. Moreover, he aids Ciri in resurrecting Geralt and Yennefer after their perilous ordeal. The tale delivers a resolute message: One should tread carefully with unicorns, as they embody both mythical enchantment and an unwavering commitment to protecting those they hold dear from any force that threatens their bond.
