History Main / Pegasus

*** Two of them, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, are part of the [[FanNickname mane cast]]. Rainbow Dash in particular is an incredibly talented flier, having broken what is depicted as the sound barrier ''three times'' (or ''four'' if you count the ExpandedUniverse), the last time being used as a MundaneUtility for demolition.

* One of the bosses in ''MegaManZero 4'' is the Reploid WingedHumanoid steed, Pegasolta Eclair.
** Also there's Spiral Pegasion/The Skiver from ''MegaManX 5''.
** And one of the three version of MegaManStarForce is named after Pegasus Magic.

* DC's ShiningKnights ([[LegacyCharacter both of them]]) also have winged horses. Justin's was called Victory, Ystina's was Vanguard.

* Subverted in ''OnePiece'' with Gan Fall's steed Pierre, a bird who ate the Horse Horse Fruit. He can transform into a pegasus, but is pink with polkadots.

Such stories may [[AKindOfOne turn Pegasus into a whole species]] (plural is [[PerplexingPlurals often]] "{{Pegasi}}").

** In ''MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', they're one of the main three races of ponies, along with the {{Unicorn}} and the good old [[BadassNormal earth pony]].

* In ''MagicTheGathering'', pegasi are a minor creature race with (so far) only six creatures.

** Also there's Spiral Pegasion/The Skiver from [[MegamanX Megaman X5]].

The winged horse, [[SpontaneousGeneration born]] from the blood that flowed when Perseus slew Medusa ([[ItMakesSenseInContext just roll with it]]). Since then, the image of a horse with wings has persisted in stories and culture, whether these horses are named Pegasus or another name.

* In {{Fate Stay Night}}, Bellerophon, the Noble Phantasm of the Servant Rider [[spoiler: (Medusa)]] can be used to control even the most powerful mythical beasts. Rider [[spoiler: due to her part in the creation of Pegasus]] is able to summon Pegasus and perfectly control it in battle with Bellerophon.
* MetalFightBeyblade is similar to the above example, but with spinning tops. Again, the protagonist uses Pegasus.

* SaintSeiya is based around warriors who use constellations as their motif. The protagonist's constellation is Pegasus.

* Dane Whitman, the Black Knight, first had Aragorn, a genetically-engineered flying horse, and then eventually upgraded to Strider, a magic horse capable of flying faster than the speed of sound (which would lead to all sorts of other problems, but hey, it's magic, so that clears it all up). The less said about the mechanical "Atomic Steed" he rode for a while, the better.
* The Valkyries from ''TheMightyThor'' ride winged horses, one of which ended up in the possession of Danielle Moonstar of the NewMutants.

* Pegasus is also in ''{{Disney/Hercules}}''.

* The TropeNamer and TropeMaker from GreekMythology.
** Arguably not the TropeMaker: flying horses have been depicted in several other cultures, such as Thailand.

* DungeonsAndDragons has Pegasi included as one type of monster players can encounter.
* Pegasi appear in several {{Warhammer}} armies - Empire and Bretonnian heroes can ride them and the Bretonnians can also field an entire unit of Pegasus Knights. The Dark Elves have access to an evil version with bat wings and dark colouring.

** Will be your bestest friend if you feed him a stink-bomb. Free trip to Hell! Woo!

* {{Pegasus}} is featured in ''ThaliasMusings'' as a gift from Athena to Thalia and the other Muses.

* In Disney's ''{{Disney/Hercules}}'' Pegasus is Herc's mount, a gift from his father Zeus.

* In TheDCU, the Shining Knight rides a winged horse named Winged Victory.
* MarvelComics Black Knight has ridden a variety of winged horses through his career.

* In the first ''ClashOfTheTitans'', most were said to be killed off by Calebos. In the remake, Pegasus himself is marked by being bigger, more aggressive and black.

** Arguably not the TropeMaker: flying horses have been seen in basically every world mythology.
