Horned fantasy horses

Unicorns is the plural of unicorn, a mythical horse-like creature with a single spiraling horn on its forehead, associated with purity and grace in medieval legend.

In business slang, a unicorn is a privately held startup valued at over one billion dollars: They're hoping to become the next unicorn.

Calling something a unicorn suggests it's rare, magical, or possibly nonexistent: Finding affordable housing in this city is like hunting for unicorns.
