The Unicorns of the Sea

From the Lochness monster to Minotaurs; mythical creatures have a special place in our hearts. It’s implied that the Sphinx and other similar fabled beasts don’t exist, or for those that once walked the Earth, they’ve long been extinct. Narwhals fell in the grey area, having been considered mythical creatures that resemble unicorns.

That’s until they were discovered in the Arctic and tied to the illustrations created by the Olaus Magnus in 1555. The creatures have long tusks protruding from their heads, hence the reason they are dubbed the unicorns of the sea. Their tusks are as long as 10 feet and in the real sense, it’s a single tooth.
