Unnatural is a word commonly used to describe things that appear anomalous or distasteful and in that usage it is not proper to contrast it to the idea of 'natural' as above.

Natural is also often used to designate a difference between organic and constructed. So technology is often seen as "unnatural" whereas anything biological or physical is seen as natural.
Of course, to me, anything that exists is natural or it wouldn't exist. In this sense we could say winged horses biologically unnatural while at the same time intellectually natural, if we include literature and symbology as outputs of the intellectual.
