Editing Pegasus (section)

==[[Dungeons & Dragons]]==
Since the original foundation of the D&D meta-setting was basically "European and Mediterranean folklore mashed together and sprinkled with 70s pop-culture", pegasi have been around a ''long'' time. As in, they were part of the original White Box back in 1974! In [[Basic Dungeons & Dragons]], pegasi first appeared in the Basic set, and were then reprinted in the Expert set and the Rules Cylopedia. Over in [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]], they first showed up in the original Monstrous Compendium for 1e, then made it into the Monstrous Manual alongside the ''Greater Pegasus'' from [[Dungeon Magazine]] #61. Afterwards, they've been in every single [[Monster Manual]] from [[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition]] onwards.

Pegasi are characterized as fully sapient creatures, occupying the same ambiguous niche between [[fey]] and magical beast as the [[unicorn]]s, with whom they share a patron god in [[Eachthighern]]. In older lore, pegasi are said to lay eggs rather than being born live, and some sources also claim they have feathers in lieu of tails, manes and fetlocks. They are usually characterized as bitter enemies of [[griffon]]s and [[hippogriff]]s, though their interactions with [[peryton]]s tend to be an afterthought.

In AD&D, pegasi can Detect Good & Evil to a range of 60ft at will. The Greater Pegasus is a rarely spawned creature that can be encountered either leading pegasus herds (flocks?) or may spontaneously spawn from the corpse of a slain [[medusa]] -  5% chance of either. This elite version has 6 HD, +1 morale, and 20% magic resistance.
