✨The unicorn is a mythological animal, the protagonist of many stories and legends. In the Middle Ages it was considered a fabulous animal capable of defeating physically stronger animals, including elephants. Artistic representations of these beings have been found in America, Europe and Asia.

✨There are several hypotheses for its origin in the European imagination: one suggests it comes from the Greek and Roman explorations of India, in which the existence of an animal with a single horn (probably rhinos) was described. The second comes from the Vikings who sold narwhal tusks as "unicorn horns" (due to their similar appearance), giving them healing properties. A third suggests that the legend arose because specimens of animals such as goats, deer or roe deer with fused horns were seen.
