@NikoAccampora: In real life, yes it is the correct term (even though it has also been used to describe either a unicorn's horn, the material it is made of, or a unicorn's magic) the earliest use of the word Alicorn is to describe a horse/pony that has the wings of a pegasus and the horn of a unicorn, and if not the earliest it has been around for a long time.

Hasbro probably thought the target audience wouldn't remember the term alicorn so they took it out and we now have pegasus unicorn (cituation needed). They will be refered to as "alicorns" in my fanseries though, I hope that's okay.
