CAMPHURCII

According to a 16th-century document, the Camphurcii was an amphibious creature with the body and forelegs of a deer while its rear legs were those of a goose. It had a 3-ft horn sticking from its forehead like the Unicorn. The Camphurcii lived only on the Island of Molucca, where it blamelessly fed on fish. It is doubtful whether many now remain, since its fabulous horn was believed to be a remedy against poison.
