The color of the skin is described differently: Mal says that the unicorn was pure, sometimes have it all shades of white, at other times it will have all the colors. It is also about unicorns with wings, similar to a Pegasus fabuliert. For the male or female form of the unicorn, the designations Einhorn unicorn mare or stallion.
Hypothetical origins
Some contemporary scholars represent the hypothesis that the origin of the unicorn in cattle or goats, which are in the East of the 3rd Pre-Christian century jewelry or ritual purposes in the early years zusammenband horns, so this over the years, apparently to a single horn zusammenwuchsen. That could also split hooves and the "lion's tail" explain better to a ungulates as a horse fit.
The Horn
The horn of the unicorn is schneckenartig shot in front tapering. It is white and up to half a metre in length. With him, the unicorn against his enemies (including Dragon) fight, heal and even deaths revive. The unicorn horn to be the only gradually in the course of his life to grow, a horn to be broken off within ten years grow again.
In the Middle Ages and early modern times, the teeth of the Narwals held for the Horn and Ainkhürn. Narwalstoßzähne deliver the most expensive ivory and since 10 Century traded. When these Walart was still largely unknown, these were tusks as a horn of the mythical unicorn sold, and gold. At the height of the zwanzigfache was even (!) Of the horn weight in gold to pay (see also here).
There are various exhibits, mostly rulers insignia, which it was prepared.
* As alleged Einhorn robbed two Narwalstoßzähne Crusaders in Constantinople and gave them to the Mark's in Venice, where they are still kept (treasury of the Mark Cathedral in Venice).
* The Habsburgs were in possession of a "Ainkhürn" Stoßzahnes and several objects from Ainkhürn (Vienna Kronschatz).
* 1671, the Danish King Christian V. on a coronation chair crowned, the only Ainkhürn was manufactured. He still serves as a throne of the Queen of Denmark.
They wrote the Ainkhürn magical abilities, for example, that it could neutralize poison, so drinking vessels from Narwalelfenbein also manufactured. As the horn as a very versatile cure was, in many cities pharmacies as a unicorn named Pharmacy.
Special skills
Allegedly, the tears of the unicorn fossils solve. It can be dead back to life here. And who is the blood of a unicorn drinking is supposedly immortal, but from that point on and cursed an unhappy life. In some stories also stipulates that a unicorn a sparse and / or devastated land will bloom again when it exceeds its limits.
Habitat
The unicorn will largely as a loner living in a forest, which is protected and guarded. It is said that in a unicorn forest plants and the animals are bigger and healthier than in a normal forest. In this forest must be a small lake, where the unicorn prone to vanity as a mirror image. There is also the question of that, in a forest Einhorn is always spring and the unicorn immortal, as long as it is "his" forest not leave.
Rare is also Wassereinhörnern fabuliert, allegedly in the depths of the oceans live. It should also unicorns who have lived in caves, and the unicorn cave in the West resin is certainly named after them. It was in the here and in other caves found bone fragments but mostly to the Ursus spelaeus cave bear, in the depositions are often found in large numbers, and up about 200 years ago have not been scientifically interpreted. Only a few people claimed that a unicorn seen.
The life of a unicorn
The birth of a unicorn ( "unicorn foal") is a very rare event. At its birth, a unicorn no, or only a very small horn. Until a unicorn maturity to be between 3 and 10 years. After a very long learning curve is leaving Einhorn someday the woods and his mother looks for a separate forest. There should be full-time live, with the exception of a few meetings with other unicorns. Only very rarely will be the forest for other reasons. It is contradictory described whether unicorns live forever, or only very, very old, and eventually cease to exist.
