A corrupted unicorn. Best fought with a mage, archer, or tamer. Once you have some experience, you will find that getting the keys is more difficult then the fight itself. Rarely teleports people to him and poisons them. Bring some greater cure potions with ya, since he loves to poison everyone. Orange petals don't seem to work; his poison is too strong. He has a special ability which will reduce all your stats (str, dex, int) by up to 20, which can be pretty painful in combination with his curse/weaken, etc. and don't have Resisting Spells.
Dread Horn's lair is in the Twisted Weald dungeon, past the twisty quicksand maze that one enters near Swoop.

Strategies
For groups of mages, pumping out endless earth elementals is a simple but effective way to beat him. He will dispel some, but the elementals deal/take OK damage because of the armour/damage types, and their aggressive AI will usually keep Dread Horn targetting them. Two mages with good mana regeneration should be able to cast enough elementals to take him down. Tamers will want to take pets with excellent poison resistance and good physical resistance, so as to reduce the amount of pet healing required. The constant poisoning can sometimes make it difficult to heal pets before they die.
Keys
- Six keys are required: Blighted Cotton, Thorny Briar, Gnaw's Fang, Irk's Brain, Lissith's Silk, and Sabrix's Eye. All the keys spawn with a 6-hour countdown timer, which should be plenty of time to collect them all.
- Drop the keys on the small statue called "The Statue of the Fey" in the south west corner of the Twisted Weald dungeon (i.e. the swamp area past the desert).
- When you have done that, the master "keys" Suriken http://www.uostuff.com/images/1/1d/Peerless_dread_horn_activation_bottles.jpg will spawn in your back pack. These keys come with a 10-minute countdown timer, giving you a limited time to prepare your party for the final battle. Double click the master key to send you and your party to Dread Horn's island (located just to the west of the Twisted Weald Swamp).
- Your party has 2 hours to defeat Dread Horn, after which he will simply disappear if you haven't killed him. You depart the island by walking to the boat on the left-hand side.
