Did anyone say mottled? (Patreon)

I had a picture book when I was younger (definitely not young enough for picture books, but my eleven-year-old self was an art appreciator back then already and didn't care) called "The Unicorn and the Sea." It was about a unicorn that rescues the Sea King's little daughter from harpies, and carries her back into the sea, but then is too tired to swim back to land. Before he drowns, the Sea King transforms him into a narwhal. The unicorn was beautifully dappled, definitely a decisive reason why I love dapple-greys so much!
