Mighty kings, ladies and heroes rode horses, and horses were powerful, fast, timid, and common, so they might have been an obvious candidate. The creature would have been perfect, sent from God, able to fight against evil things like serpents and wolves, so it had to have a weapon, like maybe a horn and divideed hooves. It would have to be magical, able to heal and cure sickness, which was common and often fatal at this time in history, and very kind. With the spread of exploration and the discovery of new animals like the oryx and narwhal, these legends were verified and spread. Soon the unicorn, in all its magical glory, was cemented into the human soul.
