Pegasus

A pegasus is a equine known for looking very similar to its relative the horse, but with large wings.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Pegasi have triangle-shaped heads, a wide forehead, big eyes, large nostrils, and small muzzles (noses). Most have a concave or "dished" profile. They have a slim, arched neck, smooth hindquarters and a naturally high-carried tail. Pegasi have strong bone and good feet. They are especially noted for their excellent endurance for walking or flying. Pegasi hair coat colors are bay, gray, chestnut, and black. All have black skin under their hair coat, except under white markings.

Genetics and Reproduction

Pegasi mate for life, build their nests in hard-to-reach locations, and give birth to live young.

Additional Information

Domestication

The Bedus used the pegasi as transportation, beasts of burden, and war mounts.
