Death of a Unicorn 's unicorns are inspired by historical and real-world inspirations.

Writer/director Alex Scharfman turned to historical depictions of unicorns to inform their appearance in the film.

The creature design team pulled inspiration from real horses, including Clydesdales and Belgian Draught horses for their shape.

Death of a Unicorn 's practical effects were built by Budapest -based special effects studio Filmefex .

The film combines practical and digital effects, but even in scenes where the unicorns are rendered entirely digitally, the puppets were used as a reference point.

The puppeteers were also involved in the actual building of the practical puppets, giving them an intimate knowledge of how they worked.
