The author classifies classes of parabolic unitals in the regular nearfield planes of odd square order and he determines their collineation groups. The constructions start from a description of certain Buekenhout-Metz unitals in the Desarguesian planes given by \textit{R. D. Baker} and \textit{G. L. Ebert} [J. Comb. Theory, Ser. A 60, No.~1, 67--84 (1992; Zbl 0783.05031)]. A similar aproach can be found in [\textit{G. Rinaldi}, Geom. Dedicata 56, No.~3, 249--255 (1995; Zbl 0843.51008)] for the case of the Hall planes and André planes of odd square order.
