Unicorns
While a unicorn has featured in Supernatural, they were believed to be non-existent. The unicorn involved 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.
