The Unicorn is mentioned in the Bible and has been described by the ancient Romans, Greeks and Persians. It was said to be the size of a horse or goat, and to be white, or blue in colour, sometimes with a purple head. The Unicorn had cloven, or hoofed feet - like a goat or horse - and a long mane.

What made the Unicorn mythical was the single horn in the middle of its forehead. The horn was said to be white, green, striped, or shading from white to black, with a red tip. The horn was prized as an antidote to poison and thought to contain magical power.

The Unicorn was described as “shy and wary” or “ferocious and extremely swift”, and almost impossible to capture. Find out more about the Unicorn here.
