While a unicorn has featured in Supernatural, they are said to be non-existant. 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.

There have been other references to unicorns. In 2.13 Houses of the Holy, Dean is skeptical when Sam suggests angels may exist:

Dean: (on Angels) Because there's no such thing, Sam.

Sam: Dean, there's ten times as much lore about angels as there is about anything else we've ever hunted.
Dean: Yeah, you know what? There's a ton of lore on unicorns too. In fact, I hear that they, they ride on silver moonbeams, and they shoot rainbows out of their ass.

Sam: Wait, there's no such thing as unicorns?
