Unicorns
Sam: Wait. So now unicorns are evil?
Dean: Yeah. Obviously.– Sam and Dean Winchester, 7.14 Plucky Pennywhistle's Magical Menagerie
History
While unicorns have been mentioned in Supernatural, they were believed to be non-existent. The unicorn in 7.14 Plucky Pennywhistle's Magical Menagerie was not a true creature; rather, it was manifestation of a child's fear through the use of hoodoo. However, in 9.16 Blade Runners, a unicorn skull can be spotted multiple times in the episode.

Sam: Dean, there's ten times as much lore about angels as there is about anything else we've ever hunted.
