Origin

The Unicorn is aprox. 5000 years old, according to ancient documents and is found throughout world legends. The Unicorn is traced back to Pagan mythology. This pagan creature was accepted into medieval Europe and became a symbol of christ. Some early Hebrew scriptures also mention the Unicorn as a biblical beast. In some Christian interpretations the Unicorn was associated with the Virgin Mary and Christ.

Appearance

Unicorn appeared as a White horse with a goat's beard, and a large twisted horn projecting it from forehead.

Behavior

Unicorn are proud beast. No one has been able to hold them captive alive. A Unicorn will fight savagely when concerned, but can be tamed by a pure person's touch, which was some times a flaw to a unicorn. For example, in medieval times a virgin would go up to a Unicorn and tame it, but then the knights would come and kill the Unicorn for it's horn. The Unicorn and the Lion were always great rivals. They were both seen as kings of animals and often clashed. The Unicorn represented spring and the Lion, summer. It was said that the end of their clashes influenced the seasons of the year.
