- description -
The unicorn is a fabled animal having the head and body of a horse but with a twisted horn issuing from the middle of the forehead. It has the legs and cloven hoofs of a buck, a lions tail, and a goat's beard. You see it on the seal of the Royal arms of England.

- symbolism -
In heraldry a unicorn is symbolic of extreme courage, purity, virtue and strength and it popularly represents love, enchantment and magic.
