My problem is that I don't think a unicorn deserves myth status. I think it's highly probable that a one-horned beast existed.

Well then we have a problem with definition because a one horned beast is not necessarily a unicorn. For instance, we have one horned beasts in the wild and in our zoos. We call them rhinoceri.
So let's first define unicorn and then we can talk about the possibility of it having existed.
