swestrupToday, I learned about the Great Unicorn of the Pleistocene era (which ended 10,000 years ago). (Image here) It was a relative of the rhino, only bigger, with a single sharp horn on its head. I'm sure that could be worked into a fantasy novel...

though I recently came accross the Body Modification edition of wikipedia while reading stuff on piercings and tattooings. And by using the random page generator within that subset, I found things that nightmares are made of :)

Now this to me sounds like it was intelligent enough to want to kill the parasite on the fellow equine - quite the herd instinct.....
