Of course unicorns are real, but they're indigenous to Tasmania.

Maybe it's a zhevra. Is Scotland in the Barrens?

Who said that? He's just said that a unicorn is on the Scottish coat of arms.

u/Redditemeon Feb 09 '25

They're real. They're just gone on an adventure.

u/Deastrumquodvicis Feb 08 '25

Specifically because it was supposedly the only animal that could defeat the lion (of England).

u/Carboris Feb 09 '25

Are there lions in England?

u/Blewmeister Feb 09 '25

Lions aren’t real

u/Levomethamphetamine Feb 08 '25

What’s your point? They’re everywhere in Scotland.

A unicorn once bit my sister.

u/Carboris Feb 09 '25

There is worse than the unicorn bite… she got lucky!

u/AxMoistxTurd Feb 09 '25

I think this is actually close to the answer - maybe somebody WAY back when saw a Lion and nobody believed it existed and made its way into folklore, Anduin Lothar being called the Lion of Stormwind could be a reference to how legendary his status was

u/not-sure-if-serious Feb 09 '25

Reigns of the Golden King, Sambas rare, and Winged Guardian...so retconned but not in classic.

Rare and mythical so it fits. Some link unicorns if not a native creation (add a horn to a horse) to bad word of mouth about a rhino (4 hooves, horn, mammal).

u/complete_your_task Feb 09 '25

And there is a dragon on the Welsh flag.

u/Carboris Feb 09 '25

Don’t start asking if they have dragons there, they do!

u/dumesne Feb 09 '25

And England's has the lion, despite there being no lions there

u/Jon-Snor Feb 09 '25

Richard the lionheart 🫡

u/Felfastus Feb 09 '25

To be fair he also didn't spend a lot of time there.
