unicorn blood. Which means he must have killed a

And now me (Odile):
Interesting indeed... however, I always understood
that the blood on the Bloody Baron was silver because
the ghosts aren't "in color."  As such, red could not
appear to be red on a ghost.  They are described in PS
as "pearly-white and slightly transparent" and "misty
silver."

I could be wrong, of course.  ^_^

btw, is "Baron" a British title?  I was thinking that
it is more German, as in "The Red Baron" that Snoopy
and others fought in WWI.  If so, then is the Bloody
Baron even English?
