I wonder if the center horn would shead when the normal ones did. If it didn't, then in then for part of the year he really would be a unicorn.

Source of the legend?

Actually, the source of the legend of the Unicorn birthed from the Arabian Oryx

The Arabian Oryx is a beautiful desert antelope whose impressive horns gave rise to the myth of the unicorn - these desert antelope were hunted for the status prized of their horns and almost brought about its annihilation.
