The film begins with the birth of Unico; a baby unicorn with the very special gift of making all living creatures lighthearted and happy. But the gods become jealous of Unico's ability and task the West Wind with banishing him to oblivion. However, the West Wind takes pity on Unico and instead swears to keep him safe from the gods' wrath. She tries to hide him anywhere she can, moving him to a different place every time the gods get too close to finding him again. Thus begins Unico's adventures, helping the people he meets on his travels and doing whatever he can for them before the West Wind returns to spirit him away once more.

** Beezle initially tries to drive Unico away when they first meet, first by scaring him with his father's statue, and then by just plain telling him to leave. He demands Unico's horn in exchange for his friendship, and his idea of "playing" is to ride Unico like a horse, while whipping him with his tail even after Unico makes it clear he doesn't like it. And it's entirely because of Beezle that Unico falls into the ocean and nearly drowns in the first place. How much of this behavior is because he's a demon, and how much is because he's just a dick, isn't entirely clear. [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold He gets better after some character development, however.]]
** Katy ''becomes'' one after Unico first transforms her into a girl. Despite promising to help out the Old Woman around her house, she soon bores of it and decides to goof off instead now that she has her wish granted.
