-Pegasus is a somewhst minor figure in the myth of Medusa and Perseus: he springs from Medusa's blood after Perseus decapitates her in most tellings, which is reflected by his generation method.
+Pegasus (Greek ''Πήγασος'' "Pḗgasos", Latin ''Pegasus'' or ''Pegasos'') is a winged horse in classical mythology, usually depicted as a winged white stallion. Depending on the telling, he and his brother Chrysaor were both born when Medusa was decapitated by [[Perseus]], or else sprang from her blood as it was spilled upon the earth, with the latter reflected by its generation method. Long honored as a constellation, Pegasus is a subject of very rich iconography, especially through ancient Greek pottery as well as paintings and sculptures of the Renaissance.

In EvilHack, there is a crystal chest nearby containing the [[Bag of the Hesperides]], further alluding to the myth.

 In EvilHack, Pegasus is instead found at the end of the [[Ice Queen's Realm]], being held captive by [[Kathryn the Ice Queen]]. While not flagged as unique, this is the only Pegasus that appears in the game.

-'''Pegasus''' is a monster added in [[SLASH'EM]]. It will appear when [[Medusa]] is killed in such a way that leaves a corpse; stoning her with her own reflection will not leave a corpse and thus not create Pegasus. (Pegasus sprang from the blood of Medusa, according to most legends.) Interestingly, Pegasus is not actually unique, as Medusa can be revived with [[turn undead]] and killed again, creating another Pegasus.
+'''Pegasus''' is a monster that was first added in [[SLASH'EM]], and also appears in [[EvilHack]].
-==As a steed==
-Pegasus can fly, has very high speed (the same as a [[warhorse]]), and has a decent level, making it an excellent mount. Like a [[Ki-rin]], Pegasus does not eat and thus can go feral when mounted by any role other than a [[knight]]. A [[Yeoman]] can use the [[calm steed]] technique to increase Pegasus' tameness after each mount (if you are playing a SLASH'EM variant where this technique is functional.) Pegasus is always created peaceful, making it simple to tame if one can cast [[charm monster]].
+==Generation==
-Pegasus will always leave a corpse, meaning that provided he isn't [[disintegration|disintegrated]] or killed over [[lava]], one can always revive him.  Unfortunately, he will not wear an [[amulet of reflection]], unlike a ki-rin.
