====== Unique ======

Some fellows in the game are **Unique**. There is only one of each of them in the game. You cannot have two at once. In some cases, once they're gone, they can't be acquired again.

While all commanders have names, Most **unique** units have fixed names that are outright mentioned in this wiki. For example, [[vanheim-ma|Middle Vanheim]] has many ??Vanadrott??s ({{path>A2G2B1H2,100%AEDGB,10%AEDGB}}), but only one **??Vanlade - Vanadrott??** ({{path>A3D2G2B2H2}}). There's even a unique unit who always starts as a non-commander, known as **??Hydra - Daughter of Typhon??**.

While they currently exist in the world, unique units cannot be Summoned by normal means. For example, there is only one **??Aella - Queen of Storms??**; if someone already has Aella, then casting ??Queen of Elemental Air?? will not give you her. This works a bit like [[item|Artifacts]]. Death voids a unique unit's obligations towards any faction, allowing the unit to be summoned again; which **resurrects them**, instead of replacing them with a fresh new clone.

You can **[[Wish]]** for a unique unit that's already in the world, resulting in them being [[Teleport|teleported]] to the Wisher's province. If the unit is **not** a commander, this switches their allegiance! If the unit **is** a commander, though, then your ??Wish?? will just start a fight. Note that, while you can cast Wish to collect the unique [[Hero|Heroes]] of other factions //before// they show up (or while they're dead), they won't be commanders. This is because, other than the [[Horrors|Doom Horrors]], Wish can't give you commanders.
===== Are Pretender Gods Unique? =====

Pretender Gods are a weird case. Their Recall mechanic is very similar to re-Summoning a dead unique unit, but their bodies lack the "**Unique**" //trait//. Thus, if you try to wish for a specific Pretender God, you'll end up with a **non-commander "clone" of them**; and promoting them to a commander will give them the chassis' base [[Magic]] paths, instead of whatever magic the Pretender has.

On this note, Pretender God chassis are the only non-unique units with fixed names.
