Unicorn is a the third album by British band Tyrannosaurus Rex, comprising Marc Bolan (vocals, guitar) and Steve Peregrin Took (bongos, African drums, kazoo, pixiephone, Chinese gong), released in 1969. It reached number 12 in the UK charts. It is the last of Tyrannosaurus Rex's albums featuring Took, because Bolan fired him after finding out that he'd been a heavy drug-addict at the time.
