No matter the origin, the unicorn is usually thought to be a solitary creature whose very body possesses the power to heal. And there’s the medieval European unicorn, with the beard of a goat and cloven hooves. There’s the kirin in Japan, with a deerlike body, a single horn, and a head like a lion or wolf. From a unicorn in Persia, described in the fourth century as having a long white horn tipped in crimson, to the German unicorn whose single horn broke into branches like a stag, to the fierce Indian unicorn, black-horned and too dangerous to be taken alive.
