There are a total of three origami creatures made by Gaff (Edward James Olmos). The first is a chicken, which he makes from plain paper, while Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) is trying to "chicken out". The second is a man, which he makes of a used and discarded paper match (a burning man, as it were) while Deckard is searching Leon Kowalski's (Brion James') apartment. The third is a silver unicorn, which he makes outside Deckard's apartment while deciding whether to kill Rachael (Sean Young). Later, when arriving on the rooftop after Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer) dies, Gaff says to Deckard that it is over, inferring that all five replicants (including Rachael) were dead. Instead of killing her, Gaff decides to let Deckard pursue his dream, symbolized by the third origami creation - a unicorn made not from paper, but from silver foil. The dream is both allegorical and real, as Deckard actually does dream of a unicorn. An unanswered question in this movie is that of whether Deckard is human or otherwise. (Rachael asks him if he'd ever taken the Voight-Kampff test and his lack of response might be taken as a no.) It should also be noted that at one point, Deckard describes two dreams that were taken from Dr. Elden Tyrell's (Joe Turkel's) niece and that in Deckard's own dream there was a unicorn, which poses the question: Was Gaff's choice of a unicorn simply symbolic of a quest for something both beautiful and impossible, or was it taken from Deckard's own dream, which would then point to Deckard being a replicant? Another clue would have been heard at the end, after Gaff says, "You have done a man's job, sir"; an unused part of the shot had Gaff continue by saying "But are you sure you ARE a man?" The humanity of Deckard was left up to the audience to decide.
