Pegasus
Solitary creatures that chose to live in places where the magic of Passalis pools. These winged horses are spectacular in more than they appear. While slender and light they are as strong as the most muscular horse, and have an almost infinite well of stamina. They are also intelligent and capable of rudimentary communication with each other and other horses.
Their wings are capable of lifting both themselves and a rider, when lightly armoured.
