A unicorn is an imaginary animal with a horn on its head.
It is said to have the body of a horse, the head of a deer, feet resembling those of an elephant, the tail of a wild boar, and a single horn.
Unicorns are known to skillfully wield their horn, to the point where they can even duel with the greatest swordsmen, and they are also said to possess incredible strength.
Additionally, their horn is believed to have the power to neutralize poison and heal illnesses.
Unicorns are considered pure and good creatures, symbolizing hope and truth.
The theme of the second challenge in May is the mythical ‘Unicorn’.
Unicorns also appear in ancient literature.
An ancient Greek historian once described the Indian rhinoceros in writing, and as this account was distorted over time, the legend of the unicorn was born.
The image of the unicorn we are familiar with, a white horse with a long horn, was created in medieval Europe.
Today, unicorns are often depicted with rainbow-colored manes or glittering horns, appearing cute or dazzling, and are beloved by children.
Unicorns can appear in many different forms.
While the spiral-shaped single horn and horse-like body are consistent features, their manes and tails are often depicted in a variety of colors, such as rainbow hues or silver.
Their hooves are sometimes shown as resembling those of a goat or a deer.
Their tails can look like those of a horse or a lion, and depending on the era, unicorns have even been portrayed not as animals, but as idealized beings, or with wings.
We think you’ll have a lot of fun drawing your own unicorn as you imagine it!
The unicorn is an animal with symbolic meaning.
It has often been depicted as a creature sacrificed by humans, and has come to represent, at times, even Jesus Christ or purity.
Although unicorns do not appear in other religions, there are animals similar to unicorns, such as the one-horned cow in Hinduism, the qilin in Buddhism, and Buraq with a shining horn in Islam.
