Because it says high speed underwater unicorn... narwhals top at 4kph, swordfish top at 64kph.

I'll take a slow actual water unicorn over some billed fish anyway, regardless of speed.

if a narwhal is a unicorn then so is a warthog

Narwhals have a single horn sticking out of their face from between their eyes. A Warthog has two tusks sticking out from either side of their mouth. At least their both mammals.

The narwhal "horn" is actually a tusk, and rarely they can have two.

both narwhals and warthogs can have their teeth pierce the tops of their heads as they grow

Can you explain why every unicorn horn I've ever seen much more closely resembles a narwhal tusk than a rhino's horn? Are unicorn horns even horns?!

narwhal tusks are teeth but rhino horns are hair

So many hours of my childhood well wasted

If you enjoyed it, it wasn't a waste.

However I've 100%'d Yoshi's Island... twice. Three times if you count Yoshi's Island DS. And now I make romhacks of Yoshi's Island and Super Mario World today. I might have a problem!

I do find it funny how "horse with a horn" is a fantastical creature that doesn't exist

But narwhals with fucking lances on their heads and giraffes with their long ass necks do

It was just medieval descriptions of a rhino because how else do you explain it to people in Europe

Wow! Look at that massive beast with one Horn! I bet it weighs as much as a house, How would you even describe that thing?

Hmmm, it's a gay horse.

I think they are trying to keep this based a bit more in reality and not bring in other fantasy creatures.

The person who made this image, and OP are dumb as fuck. Narwhals are the unicorns of the sea, not fucking swordfish. A unicorns horn is not the same as just a pointy thing.

Afaik the "horn" of a narwhal is a tooth though.

Unicorns by definition have one horn, while rhinoceroses have two. So clearly there's something else wrong there.
