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.
Pegasi trace their origins to The Aether, where they soar through the skies of that plane and serve as faithful mounts to Corellon. These gods have been known to send pegasi to The Overworld to aid those in need.
Pegasi mate for life, build their nests in hard-to-reach locations, and give birth to live young.
