In mythology, the '''Bicorn''' (also known as the Bicrone or Bulchin) was a creature with two horns. It has the reputation of devouring kind-hearted and devoted husbands.

It probably also resides in the [[Forbidden Forest]], but as it is listed as extinct in most countries, it is unlikely to be found if looked for.
