According to mythical folklore, unicorns were horse-like creatures with a single horn on their head.

Some modern literature will state that unicorns also had wings. This is historically incorrect, as horses with wings were completely different mythical creatures called a pegasus.


"Unicorns" were actually single-horned rhinos, which were used as beasts of war in ancient times. They were misinterpreted as a mythical creature.
