Description

The Unicorn is a mythical creature. Strong, wild, and fierce, it was impossible to tame by man. Its white coloring made it a natural symbol for purity, chastity and virginity. It was traditionally believed that a virgin who was naked sitting beneath a tree could only catch the delicate unicorn. The unicorn, who craves purity, would be irresistibly drawn to the girl and lie down with his head in her lap. While it slept, the hunter could capture it. If, however, the girl was merely pretending to be a virgin, the unicorn would tear her apart.
Throughout the stories of the unicorn, its horn, the alicorn, is said to have great medicinal powers. The dust filed from the horn was supposed to protect against deadly diseases if mixed into a potion. Or, if you drank from the horn, you would be protected against any poison.

Ach well. Im addicted to mythology, creatures and of course drawing ;]
