Since I really like pegasus, I made them a main creature in my stories.
There are two different kinds (I think they might be different species; I haven't entirely decided), the Black Pegasus and the White Pegasus.
The black ones are my favorite, even though they are primarily used as war mounts by the "bad guys". They are large and look like an eagle-winged Friesian. While they tend to be ill tempered, they are very courageous animals. They seem to know that they are strong and few things frighten them.
The white ones are much smaller in comparison and are built like an Arabian. However, what they lack in size, they make up for in speed. Their wings are falcon like, allowing them to dive and maneuver swiftly. Although they are naturally skittish, they are very willing animals that will do all in their power to please those that have gained their trust.
A Black Pegasus can carry one small person and lots of heavy armor and weapons, or it can carry two adults and no armor.
A White Pegasus can only carry one lightweight adult with very minimal weaponry (usually a bow and arrows).
Both pegasus reproduce slowly and are highly valued by all peoples. Even in battle, a pegasus is rarely fired upon.
This is my first attempt at attaching an image. I hope it works!
(These are just quick sketches, so I hope they show up well enough after being scanned.)
