Unicorn
The unicorn is a legendary creature that has been described since antiquity as a beast with a single large, pointed, spiraling horn projecting from its forehead. The unicorn was depicted in ancient seals of the Indus Valley Civilization and was mentioned by the ancient Greeks in accounts of natural history by various writers, including Ctesias, Strabo, Pliny the Younger, and Aelian. The Bible also describes an animal, the re'em, which some versions translate as "unicorn". In European folklore, the unicorn is often depicted as a white horse-like or goat-like animal with a long horn and cloven hooves (sometimes a goat's beard).
The Last Unicorn
The Last Unicorn is a fantasy novel by American author Peter S. Beagle and published in 1968, by Viking Press in the U.S. and The Bodley Head in the U.K. It follows the tale of a unicorn, who believes she is the last of her kind in the world and undertakes a quest to discover what has happened to the others. It has sold more than five million copies worldwide since its original publication, and has been translated into at least twenty languages (prior to the 2007 edition). In 1987, "Locus" ranked "The Last Unicorn" number five among the 33 "All-Time Best Fantasy Novels", based on a poll of subscribers.
Legendary creature
A legendary, mythical, or mythological creature, traditionally called a fabulous beast or fabulous creature, is a fictitious, imaginary and often supernatural animal, often a hybrid, sometimes part human, whose existence has not or cannot be proved and that is described in legends, myths, mythology, fables, folklore, poetry, fairy tales, novels, or other fiction but also in historical accounts before history became a science. On the other hand, many real animals from remote regions and ethnic groups from other continents were long considered legendary before more was known about them. For example, whales were considered as mythical or real and as frightening as dragons as recently as in the Middle Ages, including the belief that whales eject fire.
Unicorn (Dungeons &amp; Dragons)
In the "Dungeons & Dragons" fantasy role-playing game, a unicorn is a mysterious, majestic magical beast. It resembles an imposing and beautiful white horse, with glowing eyes, a silky mane and tail, and the stereotypical spiraling, shell-shaped horn coming from its forehead. Unlike horses, they have cloven hooves, and males have a goat's beard. The "Dungeons & Dragons" unicorn was based upon the unicorn of European mythology. The unicorn was one of the first monsters introduced in the earliest edition of the game, in the "Dungeons & Dragons" "white box" set (1974), where they were described as creatures that can be ridden by maiden-warriors and will obey them.
W. Franklin Dove
William Franklin "Franklin" Dove (11 April 1897 – 24 March 1972) was an American biologist who was most famous for his "unicorn" experiment he conducted at the University of Maine in the early 20th-century. He also performed other research projects in regard to food selection by mammals and other areas of animal reproduction and nutrient intake. Dove was a member of the faculty of the University of Maine. Dove was born in Marion, Iowa, on 11 April 1897. He earned his B.S. from Iowa State College, in 1922. He earned an M.S. from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1923, and his Ph.D. in 1927.
Elasmotherium
Elasmotherium ("Thin Plate Beast"), also known as the Siberian Unicorn is an extinct genus of rhinoceros endemic to Eurasia during the Late Pliocene through the Pleistocene, documented from 2.6 Ma to as late as 29,000 years ago in the Late Pleistocene. Three species are recognised. The best known, "E. sibiricum", was the size of a mammoth and is thought to have borne a large, thick horn on its forehead. Theories about the function of this horn include defence, attracting mates, driving away competitors, sweeping snow from the grass in winter and digging for water and plant roots. Like all rhinoceroses, elasmotheres were herbivorous.
Jersey Devil
In New Jersey folklore, the Jersey Devil (or Leeds Devil) is a legendary creature said to inhabit the Pine Barrens of Southern New Jersey, United States. The creature is often described as a flying biped with hooves, but there are many variations. The common description is that of a kangaroo-like creature with the head of a goat, leathery bat-like wings, horns, small arms with clawed hands, cloven hooves and a forked tail. It has been reported to move quickly and often is described as emitting a "blood-curdling scream". According to popular folklore, the Jersey Devil originated with a Pine Barrens resident known as Mother Leeds aka Deborah Leeds.
