Bicorn (monster)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bicorn (also known as Burrowing Bicorn, Bicorne) is a mythological creature with two horns that has the reputation of devouring kind-hearted and devoted husbands, and is thus plump and well fed. His counterpart is the Chichevache, which devours only obedient wives and is therefore thin and starving. The Bicorn is a tremendously quick burrower, and is notorious for eluding capture. The configuration of the creature's two horns remains a mystery, as when captured, it 'drops' both horns, much like an iguana drops its tail.
