A winged unicorn (or flying unicorn or unisus) is a fictional ungulate, typically portrayed as a horse, with wings like Pegasus and the horn of a unicorn. In some literature and media, it has been referred to as an alicorn, a Latin word for the horn of a unicorn, especially in alchemical texts, or as a pegacorn, a portmanteau of pegasus and unicorn. It should be noted, however, that the term Pegasus is actually the name of the winged horse character of Greek mythology, a child of the god Poseidon, and does not refer to all winged horses; the correct term for them is pterripus.
Winged unicorns have been depicted in art. Ancient Achaemenid Assyrian seals depict winged unicorns and winged bulls as representing evil, but winged unicorns can also represent light.
