Pegasus

The white winged horses known as pegasi soar through the skies, a vision of grace and majesty. When they touch down on solid ground, they linger only for a moment, drinking from mountain springs and pristine lakes. Any sound or sign of another creature startles them, sending them off to fly once more among the clouds. Pegasi are highly prized as swift and reliable steeds, being faster and less temperamental than griffons, hippogriffs, and wyverns. However, these wild and shy creatures are as intelligent as humanoids, and so can't be traditionally broken and tamed. A pegasus must be persuaded to serve a good-aligned creature as a mount, but when it does so, it forges a lifelong bond with its new companion. It is said that Pegasi came to existence in the Second Age, Godswar, when the forces of good needed their mortal soldiers to fly quickly into battle, creating the first pegasi. When the war ended, those pegasi that didn't leave to the Planes, mutated. Either becoming Hippogriffs (those that wanted to still have their wings) or Horses.
