One Fang, One Horn

Girl looks at computer: Huh  It says here that the narwhal's horn is actually a single long canine tooth  Wait, you're saying it's a giant fang  Narwhal unicorn Vampire of the Sea

All the mystique associated with narwhals doesn't change the fact that their name literally means "corpse whale." 
Also, because the horn is a tooth (specifically, the left tooth), it's always on the left side instead of being centered.  Though there are occasionally narwhals with two horns (or tusks), so they're more symmetrical.
