 unicorn
      n : an imaginary creature represented as a white horse with a
          long horn growing from its forehead

 Unicorn
    described as an animal of great ferocity and strength (Num.
    23:22, R.V., "wild ox," marg., "ox-antelope;" 24:8; Isa. 34:7,
    R.V., "wild oxen"), and untamable (Job 39:9). It was in reality
    a two-horned animal; but the exact reference of the word so
    rendered (reem) is doubtful. Some have supposed it to be the
    buffalo; others, the white antelope, called by the Arabs rim.
    Most probably, however, the word denotes the Bos primigenius
    ("primitive ox"), which is now extinct all over the world. This
    was the auerochs of the Germans, and the urus described by
    Caesar (Gal. Bel., vi.28) as inhabiting the Hercynian forest.
    The word thus rendered has been found in an Assyrian inscription
    written over the wild ox or bison, which some also suppose to be
    the animal intended (comp. Deut. 33:17; Ps. 22:21; 29:6; 92:10).
