What is Unicornscan ❓

Unicornscan is a new information gathering and correlation engine built for and by members of the security research and testing communities.

It was designed to provide an engine that is Scalable, Accurate, Flexible, and Efficient.

Basically the unicorn scan goes under the network mapping category.

In My personal experience unicornscan is faster than any of the network mapping tools, The tool is especially faster when you do an open port scan.
