Depends on where you pull the myth from 🙃... Sounds like you're describing a Kirin which is the Japanese version of a unicorn 🥴

Or a mutant deer, which when it has a deformed single horn, tends not to be branched. Also deer are sometimes white. So if the two rare mutations occur together, you have a very rare, white, small horse sized, wild and shy horned animal that would be very like the early depicted unicorns.

[@anonymousfellow8879]

@Ellé Victor If you look in a European bestiary, it’s a goat-like creature. Kirins, while they *can* be horses, are generally Dragon-Deer or Dragon-Oxen (and one illustration legit has it as a giraffe-like creature) So at some point Western Unicorns transitioned from Small Goats to Majestic Horses, with Marco Polo identifying Rhinos as “unicorns” and being incredibly disappointed and salty about it

Or if you want something more horse like from a taxonomic point, there is Elasmotherium, the elephant sized rhino with a huge single horn not on its nose, but on the top of the head.

Humans have cementum on there teeth also. It is the outer layer of the tooth below the gum line. The human tooth has a cementenaml junction (the point where the enamel turns into cemental layer.

There's no horned, herbivorous, land animal that walks with it's legs directly under it, living or extinct, that I can think of that has a single horn growing out the middle of it's head. Every hoofed, horned mammal I can think of that humans might've seen in the flesh doesn't remotely resemble a unicorn, so where did the straight horned horse thing come from?

[@highjinx6519]

Maybe you could ask the royal family where they got one of the mascots for their shield from?

I've heard hypotheses about them being based on Arabian Oryx. When they stand sideways, their two horns can look like a single horn.

That is cool. I knew about the narwal, rhino, rinocerus beetle and rhinocerous hornbill. The narwhal in particular has been agetting more fame and attention. I see stuff in the store with narawals on it. I even have a narawal stuffed animal. A narwhal is a cross beteen a unicorn and a dolphin. So that is two creatures that are very cheerful and popular. So a narwhal is a new spin for a fancy and whimsical creature. I think a horse can benefit from a horn. Stallions sometimes fight for mates. If one of them had a horn, he can stab the other and inflict lots of damage. Then the horned horse can take over a harem more easily. Then he can sire more horned horse babies. Horses have their own spin on the harem structure in that the leader is one of the females, not the male. So if a mare had a horn, it may still benifit. She probably won't be as violent as a stallion. However it may bee easier for her to take over and lead a herd. The whole fighting for mates things is something deer and antelope do with thier horns. So it makes sense for horses to the same. Even rhinos do this, and they hit really close to home. It would be cool if two unicorns charge at eachother and use thier horns to stab. It is the unicorn version of jousting. It would be even cooler if two unicorns used thier horns to fire magical blasts from thier horns. It is more like a wizard dual or Pokemon battle. It can't happen in real life, but that would still be cool. I have another idea for real life unicorns. This is giraffes. I am very fond of giraffes. I got a lot of giraffe stuffed animals. Giraffes have two knobby horns called ossicones. Male giraffes fight too. They swing thier long necks and hit with the ossicones. Male giraffes are taller than females. I think the benefit is that the extra length of the neck helps the giraffe swing and hit harder. Giraffes have two horns instead of one. This may not seem like a unicorn at first. However there is something else that is. Giraffes have a bloched pattern on thier fur. It can vary. I recently learned that the different kinds of giraffes with different patterns are actually different species. This pattern makes the giraffe look like it has scales, especially from a distance. So Giraffes look like Chinese unicorns, which are called kirin. The kirin of folklore probably came from giraffe sightings.

Speaking of elsewhere in the universe, there's a tusked pony which is super effective at bringing down starships. Apparently.
