A unicorn is a horse-like creature that contains a single horn projecting from its forehead. Unicorn is best portrayed in Greek mythology and is a significant part of artwork recorded from the late 19th century. The most alluring thing about the animal is that it is not an actual animal. It is just a fictional character manipulated by the early writers and men from the literature field to demonstrate strength and stability. The fictional character’s name is an amalgam of two Latin words: ‘unus’ and ‘cornu.’ The former word is used to demonstrate one in Latin, and the latter word is used to demonstrate corn in Latin. As the fictional character possesses a single horn, so it is named a unicorn.

All unicorns have fluffy, pony-like tails and four legs. A baby unicorn is named Shimmer or Sparkle. Unicorns are depicted in literature as herbivores (animals that feed mainly on plants, for example, rabbits) and eat a huge amount of plants, trees, and flowers. They have a fast metabolic rate, constantly feeding on plants and trees to fulfill their metabolic needs. In some stories, unicorns are depicted to feed on rainbows, but they don’t depend entirely on rainbows as it is made from water. Lady Amalthea is considered to be the most popular unicorn that has been featured in art and literature with majestic, magical powers. In most legendary stories, unicorns are shown as white creatures resembling horses and are equipped with long, fluffy white wings that permit them to move steadily in the air.

It is believed that witnessing a white unicorn in sleep signifies happiness and good luck. Similarly, the unicorn is generally considered to have angelic traits and is considered to be a sign of purity and innocence in popular world cultures. Apart from this, it is considered to be the symbol of virginity, humbleness, and a gentle attitude towards people and society in general.
