Wow, it has already been a year since our last contest! I was having a conversation with ~moodymand about cervine unicorns, and I thought it would be a great idea to incorporate that into a contest here.
When you hear the word "unicorn," most people imagine a horse with a horn. But in history, there have been several different perceptions of unicorns. During medieval times, unicorns could be based either on horses, donkeys, or goats. Before that, some people believed that the oryx had only one horn based on its side view, leading to another view of the unicorn. In Asia, the Chinese and Japanese believed in the qilin/kirin, a deer-based unicorn with two antlers and a scaly body. Yet others argue that unicorns are based on elands, deer, rhinoceroses, and even narwhals. What is your favorite non-equine interpretation of the concept of "unicorn"? Show us in this contest!
P.S. Humans with horns won't be accepted this time - we will have an anthro 'corn contest another time.
