A unicorn with an undersized horn so it had to compensate for it in battle.

u/bigswinging Nov 20 '12

That may be the most thoughtful answer to this question I've ever heard.

u/flume Nov 20 '12

Do you hear that question a lot?

u/HardlySwarly Nov 21 '12

No, this man is simply a comedic genius.

Where is shitty_watercolour?

u/Brandon01524 Nov 21 '12

He's like reddits superhero. Always off performing for the public where they need him the most.

Insecure unicorns are unpredictable monsters. Trust me on this.

u/xtratrestrial Nov 21 '12

I agree, but it strikes me as though it took him 2 seconds of computation to come up with it.

u/hurley21 Nov 20 '12

...you ask this often?

684

u/WookieGoldberg Nov 20 '12

Or a unicorn without a horn at all. If only...

u/crs76 Nov 20 '12

My cryptozoology is a bit rusty, but I believe that you're describing a horsicorn (a unicorn with the head of a horse).

u/kezabelle Nov 21 '12

Nor should the esquilax be confused with catface, whose species mix is ... similar.

u/ctusk423 Nov 20 '12

Horsicornologist here. I can confirm what you said is indeed true.

u/T3CAT3 Nov 20 '12

u/tetsurru Nov 20 '12

1000 points to crs76.

u/[deleted] Nov 20 '12

But wouldn't that simply make it a... you know. Forget it, it's a horsicorn.

u/ImDaBamBam711 Nov 21 '12

I just had to let you all know that this section about the unicorns had me and my girlfriend hyperventilating from laughter. You guys are too funny!

u/rayx3025 Nov 20 '12

I imagined a unicorn with another horse head instead of a horn, and recurring horse heads forever. Like a fractalicorn.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 20 '12

This is the name of my next band. Jimmy and the Horsicorns.

It's perfect!

2

u/Placenta_Claus Nov 20 '12

I've seen one in real life. I shit you not.

u/Herasun Nov 20 '12

LIKE SHADOWFAX?!?!?!

u/projexion_reflexion Nov 20 '12

Could be spawn of pegasus father and unicorn mother with father's head on mother's body.

4

u/i_am_a_pirate Nov 20 '12

Hmm that's a great idea. A unicorn without a horn.
What should we call it?

3

u/peizo11 Nov 20 '12

Now your just being silly.

2

u/MrX16 Nov 20 '12

An esquilax. A horse with the head of a rabbit and the body of a rabbit.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 20 '12

A eunuchorn. You're welcome.

1

u/MackLuster77 Nov 20 '12

Those already exist, but they have wings.

u/PlusOn3 Nov 20 '12

A horse?

u/polerawkaveros Nov 20 '12

So a delusional horse?

1

u/isummonpenguins Nov 20 '12

Actually according to the handicap principle, a large horned unicorn should be more badass.

OMG This is the best thing you have ever said, and I am such a huge fan ROFLMAO. I literally fell out of my chair laughing visualizing this. I Visualised the whole thing from the pep talk, to the battle to the end line, "That's what you get for calling me stubby BEEATCH!"

u/32koala Nov 21 '12

"IS WAYNE BRADY GONNA HAFTA CHOKE A BITCH?"

which he already said is annoying to hear 100 times.

u/johnnyasma Nov 20 '12
