[DE] Dieses Fabelwesen ist eine Mischung aus dem geflügelten Pferd Pegasus und einem Einhorn (visit link)

Das Einhorn ist ein Fabeltier, das einem Pferd (manchmal auch einer Ziege) ähnelt, jedoch ein erhabenes Horn auf der Stirn trägt. Das Horn wird als schneckenartig gedreht und vorne spitz zulaufend dargestellt. Es soll weiß und bis zu einem halben Meter lang sein.

[EN] This epic being is actually a mixture of the winged horse Pegasus (visit link) and a unicorn.

The unicorn is a legendary animal from European folklore that resembles a white horse with a large, pointed, spiraling horn projecting from its forehead, and sometimes a goat's beard and cloven hooves. First mentioned by the ancient Greeks, it became the most important imaginary animal of the Middle Ages and Renaissance when it was commonly described as an extremely wild woodland creature, a symbol of purity and grace, which could only be captured by a virgin. In the encyclopedias its horn was said to have the power to render poisoned water potable and to heal sickness.
