History Main / Pegasus

* Creator/AAPessimal: Pegasi(i), long thought extinct, return to the Franchise/{{Discworld}} after a gorgon policewoman is swiped across the face by a troll and gets a bad nosebleed. Lord Vetinari and Sir Samuel Vimes take advantage and upgrade the Air Watch with the resultant marvellous flying horses. These are placed in the care of the [[BikerBabe Air Witches]]. Later on it is discovered that whilst created by magical accident, they are capable of breeding with normal horses. Thus creating more Pegasi in the natural run of things, and as time passes, allowing the Service to expand and recruit more Witch-Pilots. Vetinari is in favour of this and makes the necessary funding and facilities available, including purpose-built air bases.[[note]] He is, as is revealed across the stories, building Ankh-Morpork's Air Force, to mesh with its resurgent Army and Navy.[[/note]] Piloted by Witches and navigated by attendent Feegle, a Pegasus can get a rider plus load ''anywhere'' on the Disc via the Feegle magic of the craw-step... in a matter of ''minutes''.

** ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}'': The "Pastoral Symphony" segment features a whole Pegasus family: a white mother, black father, and foals that yellow, blue, and a black baby Pegasus [[TheRuntAtTheEnd who is always last]]. A few adult pegasi that are blue are seen as well. The manner in which they fly down to a pond, and then move around in the pond, is very reminiscent of swans.
** ''Disney/{{Hercules}}'': Pegasus is Hercules' ride in this film, despite the fact that this never happened in [[Myth/ClassicalMythology actual Greek Mythology]], and was created by Zeus out of clouds.
** ''Disney/TheThreeCaballeros'' has a segment about a flying donkey.
* ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolf'': Pegasi are the focus of the sixth film, ''Meet the Pegasus'', where the goats must write a happy ending for a story starring the Pegasus Prince, who lives in a cloud city populated by humanoid pegasus people.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'': Pegasi appear in several armies. Empire and Bretonnian heroes and generals 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. In generally, pegasi are stated to differ from true horses in several respects -- they have hollow bones like birds, although their ability to fly is still assumed to be chiefly magical in nature, and are omnivorous as well.

** Pegasi with feathered manes appear as flying steeds for Imperial and Bretonnian lords and heroes. Bretonnia also has access to units of pegasus-mounted flying knights.
** In ''VideoGame/TotalWarWarhammerII'', the Dark Elves' lords can ride black-furred, bat-winged and horned dark pegasi.

** ''Disney/{{Hercules}}'': Pegasus Hercules' ride in this film, despite the fact that this never happened in [[Myth/ClassicalMythology actual Greek Mythology]], and was created by Zeus out of clouds.

*** 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 ''multiple times'', to the point of doing it as a MundaneUtility. Fluttershy, on the other hand, is ([[BerserkButton usually]]) a [[AcrophobicBird fairly poor flyer who happens to be deathly afraid of heights]], though this is compensated by [[FriendToAllLivingThings her great skill with animals]] (something more commonly found in earth ponies) and the powerful [[DeathGlare Stare]].

* ''Franchise/SailorMoon'': Pegasus (a winged alicorn capable of taking human form -- or, more accurately, his original form was human) is sought by the villains in one arc.
* ''Manga/SaintSeiya'' is based around warriors who use constellations as their motif. The protagonist's constellation is Pegasus.

* In ''Manga/MahouShoujoPrettyBell'', one of the primary abilities of Pretty Bell is summoning spirit animals to fight. The Pegasus is popular for being all-around useful even though it's not the strongest fighter. Eri, the latest Pretty Bell, is so magically strong she summons a terrifyingly powerful Pegasus with GlowingEyesOfDoom that wipes the floor with an entire demon army.

** ComicBook/ShiningKnight ([[LegacyCharacter both of them]]) also have winged horses. Justin's was called Victory, Ystina's was Vanguard. Victory was an actual horse, before Merlin turned him into a pegasus.

** In the promotional comic ''ComicBook/WonderWomanAndTheStarRiders'' (for a show and toy line which were never produced) Dolphine rides a white winged horse with a light blue mane and tail named Cloudancer.

* ''ComicStrip/{{Nero}}'': Pegasus appears as a character in the album ''De Ring van Petatje''.

* ''Fanfic/WithStringsAttached'': George becomes one twice. His doing so is the first indication that his [[VoluntaryShapeshifting shapeshifting ring]] is more powerful than it seems.

** ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}'': The "Pastoral Symphony" segment features a whole Pegasus family: a white mother, black father, and foals that yellow, blue, and a black baby Pegasus [[TheRuntAtTheEnd who is always last]]. A few adult pegasi that are blue are seen as well. The manner in which they fly down to a pond, and then move around in the pond, is very reminiscent of swans.

%%* ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAndTheMagicOfPegasus''
* ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAFairySecret'' has the Pega Ponies, which, like the Flutterponies from the ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' movie, have wings more akin to butterflies.

* In ''Literature/{{Dragonrider}}'', by Creator/CorneliaFunke, pegasi are intelligent and can [[TalkingAnimal talk]]. They are descended from the original Pegasus who sprung from the blood of a gorgon, and are now a critically endangered species, with an unusual life-cycle. They are oviparous, laying eggs which are initially no bigger than a hen’s egg, which the mother pegasus has to lick to enable the eggs to grow (ultimately to ostrich-size), so that the foals within them can develop up to the point of hatching (when they are the size of a hen).
* ''Literature/{{Stravaganza}}'': In ''City of Stars'', winged horses are a mutation that occurs periodically among normal thoroughbreds. They are seen as a sign of good luck, especially in Remora (the fantasy counterpart of Siena). They grow much faster than normal horses, and are capable of flying with a rider by the age of a few months.

* ''Literature/{{Xanth}}'': Winged centaurs eventually became a viable species (a combination of love springs and people getting transformed as such).

** Mme. Maxine, the half-giantess headmistress of the French magic school (L'Ecole Beauxbatons), travels in a coach drawn by a team of immense palomino pegasoi that drink single-malt Scotch whiskey. The in-universe name for this breed is Abraxan.

* In ''Literature/{{Pegasus}}'', by Creator/RobinMcKinley, there's an entire species of pegasi, who co-exist peacefully, though they can only communicate via specially-trained Speaker magicians. Each member of the human Royal family has a pegasus companion.
* ''Literature/AlexVerus'': One of these shows up in the first book as the mount of an older diviner.

%%* ''Literature/CompanionsQuartet''.
* In ''Literature/WarOfTheDreaming'', they are called dreamcolts and serve as steeds to the Guardians of Everness.
* ''Literature/{{Everworld}}'' features the mythological Pegasus and his sons living on Olympus; as far as we're told there aren't any other winged horses in this world. They can [[TalkingAnimal also talk]], and are used to firebomb the Hetwan.

* Two Franchise/SuperSentai series have had warriors with Pegasus motifs: ''Series/DengekiSentaiChangeman'' and ''Series/GoseiSentaiDairanger''. Both of them are the Blue Rangers of their teams.
* At least one of Pegasus' owners was the legendary [[Series/PeeWeesPlayhouse Cowboy Curtis...]]
* In Series/KamenRiderFourze has its monsters based on constellations and while they don't manage to get through all 88 of them, the Pegasus Zodiarts turns out to be rather important [[spoiler:because he evolves into the Cancer Zodiarts]]

* The {{Trope Namer|s}} and {{Trope Maker|s}} comes from Greek Mythology. He was owned by Bellerophon, until Zeus struck them down. Far less famous than Pegasus was his brother, Chrysaor, who depending on the source is a giant or a winged boar.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'': Pegasi appear in several armies. Empire and Bretonnian heroes and generals 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. In generally, pegasi are stated to differ from true horses in several respects -- they have hollow bones like birds, although their ability to fly is still assumed to be chiefly magical in nature, and are omnivorous as well.
* In ''TabletopGame/WerewolfTheApocalypse'', Pegasus is the tribal totem of the Black Furies. Pegasus demands that those who serve him protect females and their young.

* ''TabletopGame/{{GURPS}} Fantasy Bestiary'' describes pegasi chiefly based off of the Greek legend, noting that the effects of giving winged steeds to players mean that pegasi may be best introduced as very rare, difficult to tame and/or as a temporary asset for players.
* ''TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}}'': Pegasus (singular and plural) appear in ''Paranormal Animals of Europe'' as winged horses native to the Balkans, Italy and southern France. They're not common, and extensive poaching for racing stock is rapidly wiping them out.[[/folder]]

* ''VideoGame/KingsQuestVIHeirTodayGoneTomorrow'': [[PunnyName Nightmare]] , who is a black Pegasus owned by '''Death himself.''' She will be your bestest friend if you feed her a stink-bomb. Free trip to Hell! Woo!
* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'':
** ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'', which is an installment in a series based on both Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon and ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'', of course has a sequence where Sora fights the Hydra on Pegasus' back.
** The Pegaslick dream eater in ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance'' is this with [[RazorWind wind manipulation]].
* ''VideoGame/AgeOfMythology'' has both the ability to raise Pegasi (''[[GratuitousLatin Equus pegasus]]'') and the hero Bellerophon, who rides Pegasus and has a special leaping attack allowed by his winged horse.
* ''VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia''L Halfway through, Cress rides a Sleipnir to tackle Dhaos' aerial forces, accompanied by Arche on her FlyingBroomstick.

* ''VideoGame/MoCreatures'': This ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' mod includes pegasi as one of the breedable horse types. They're obtained by giving an Essence of Light to a bat horse (itself a bat-winged example of this trope) above cloud level. Giving a pegasus an Essence of Darkness above cloud level will turn it into a fireproof dark pegasus. You can also make a zombie pegasus with an Essence of Undead, which will rot into a skeletal pegasus over time. It will still fly.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'', [[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=4023 Paradise has winged horses]].

* In ''Webcomic/SkinDeep'' (Exchanges) one of the characters has an angry rant about how the correct name for their species is Pterippi, literally "winged horse," and that Pegasus was just one indivdual.

* Wiki/SCPFoundation: [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-042 SCP-042]] is a pegasus that somehow lost his wings, and, because of that, [[DrivenToSuicide he is now suicidally depressed]] and tries to get Foundation personnel to [[TheWoobie put him out of his misery]].

They are especially prominent in the Greek mythology-inspired Theros block, where they're prized as steeds by soldiers and heroes.

* Danielle Moonstar of the ''ComicBook/NewMutants'' acquired a winged Valkyrie steed, Brightwind, on a trip to Asgard. In that Brightwind chose her, which was the WordOfGod (Horse) technically.
* 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 ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor'' ride winged horses, one of which ended up in the possession of Danielle Moonstar of the New Mutants.
* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'':
** One of Comicbook/WonderWoman's foes has Pegasus (the original one from Greek myth) as his personal steed.

In the remake, Pegasus himself is marked by being bigger, DarkerAndEdgier, more aggressive and black.

* In the ''Literature/{{Dragonrider}}'' series by Creator/CorneliaFunke, pegasi are intelligent and can [[TalkingAnimal talk]]. They are descended from the original Pegasus who sprung from the blood of a gorgon, and are now a critically endangered species, with an unusual life-cycle.

All of them are explicitly stated to have bat-like wings because they're mammals.
