Meh, that's just the KJV, since the translators had no idea what mythological creatures the Hebrews were actually referring to, so they substituted "dragons" and "unicorns" for the other terms. It is fun to go to https://www.biblegateway.com/ and do a search for unicorns in the KJV, then switch translations to see how others dealt with the issue.

As a professional fictional character, I can tell you that "wild ox" is a mistranslation and that unicorns are totally a thing. Totally.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
