Did unicorns evolve into narwhals?

One of the biggest questions when it comes to biology and evolution. Although you may have never heard it before. The narwhal is a whale, Monodon monoceros, that lives in the arctic and is not commonly heard of, but arguably the most fascinating. Like the legendary unicorn, the narwhal has a tusk (aka horn) on it's head that can reach 9 feet long.
There are many theories about narwhals and unicorns, but the most common are:
-The unicorn was fleeing from it's predator, the dragon, and evolved into the narwhal. (But it would also have to be proved that the dragon was real)
-The unicorn was fleeing from humans who hunted it for their horns (they were thought to have magical, healing powers), and retreated to the arctic seas.

You may think this theory is ridiculous or that it couldn't possibly be true, but remember: science is always changing.
