A winged unicorn (cerapter, flying unicorn, unisus, or unipeg) is a fictional ungulate, typically portrayed as a horse, with wings like a pegasus and the horn of a unicorn.
[1] In some literature and media, it has been referred to as an alicorn, a word derived from the Italian word alicorno,[2] or as a pegacorn, a portmanteau of pegasus and unicorn.
Ancient Achaemenid Assyrian seals depict winged unicorns and winged bulls as representing evil, but winged unicorns can also represent light.
[3][4] Irish poet W. B. Yeats wrote of imagining a winged beast that he associated with ecstatic destruction.
The beast took the form of a winged unicorn in his 1907 play The Unicorn from the Stars and later that of the rough beast slouching towards Bethlehem in his poem "The Second Coming".
