unicorn horns

Fantasy beast protrusions

Unicorn horns are the spiraled, tapering horns imagined to grow from the foreheads of unicorns.

In medieval and Renaissance lore, they were believed to have magical properties—purifying water, detecting poison, curing illness.

Narwhal tusks were often sold as genuine unicorn horns to credulous buyers.

The term now appears in fantasy contexts and as an ingredient in fictional potions or remedies.
