What Is a Unicorn?
A unicorn is a mythical horse with a single spiral horn on its forehead. The earliest written account comes from the Greek doctor Ctesias, around 400 BC. He described wild asses in India with a long horn.
Medieval Europeans saw the unicorn as a symbol of purity. Two unicorns supported the royal arms of the Kings of Scots, and the unicorn is Scotland's national animal. Modern stories add new types, such as rainbow, celestial, and sea unicorns.
