I’ve never been lucky enough to meet one. Marco Polo thought he met one once, but he really just met a rhino! They have been described for ages and ages- since 15000 BCE in France. Legend has it that unicorn horns can purify water and their horns can get rid of poisions.
I hope one day to see one- although I’d have to be sure they existed first, and I’m not convinced yet.
weirdly, unicorns have had a great influence on the development of the science of poisons. Their horn was supposed to protect you against all poisons and lot of scientists in the past spent a long time trying to obtain unicorn horn to test it out. I like unicorns.
