unicorn blood
Horned horse's lifeblood
Unicorn blood appears in fantasy fiction as a substance of immense magical power, most famously in the Harry Potter series where drinking it sustains life but curses the drinker to a half-life.
The phrase sometimes appears figuratively for anything rare and potent: That startup is running on unicorn blood and venture capital.
