The following is a guide to the paranormal and crypto zoology. I will try to update, correct and add source information (I apologize for the lack of sources, I wrote a lot of this when I was younger and a lot of it long after seeing or reading source, if you know where information came from please inform me. I desire to give due credit. Much of this is common information, but I know that not all of it is and should like to have those sources.)
Key:
* Commonly believed phenomenon or creature in certain regions
** Commonly believed phenomenon or creature
*** Proven phenomenon or creature
Unicorns
Unicorns are considered to be the most beautiful of all mystical creatures. However because of their great variety it is extremely difficult to describe one. Generally they look like horses and always have one horn. Their strong brand of magic is believed to reside in this horn, which cannot be removed without killing the unicorn. Vikings often pass the front tooth of narwhales of as unicorn horns.
Unicorn blood is believed to be able to keep anyone half alive. However it is considered a great sin to kill a unicorn (In most cases.) for (in most cases) a unicorn is perfectly innocent. Still unicorns were (they are believed to be extinct because they were too vain to get on the ark.) hunted, mainly for their horns. This was accomplished by having a young virgin girl, the only type of person they are willing to approach, attract them and then signal to the hunters waiting in the woods.
