} Unicorn {
Unicorns are mythical creatures that were thought to be real in different time-periods through history. They were horses or sometimes even goats, with a single spiraling horn in the middle of their forehead. It was believed that they could be encountered in woodland areas and, as unicorns were a symbol of purity and grace, could be captured only by a virgin. The special properties of unicorn horn were to make poisoned water drinkable and to heal sickness. In medieval and Renaissance times, the tusk of the narwhal was sometimes sold as a unicorn horn.
