That is a serious conceptual shortcoming on your part. It is
possible that there exists a horse-like creature with a single
horn (unicorn), but that does not mean that unicorns exist
anywhere outside the realms of the secret forest in Harry Potter
novels.
If unicorns are defined logically consistently with the whole reality,
I don't see why they wouldn't exist, though apparently not on this
planet. So what is the difference between a possible world that exists
and a possible world that doesn't?
Are you saying it would entail a logical contradiction for a unicorn to
exist on this planet? I don't think "logical possibility" means what
you think it means.
