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. Interestingly, Pegasus is not actually unique, as Medusa can be revived with turn undead and killed again, creating another Pegasus.

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, although a Yeoman can use the calm steed technique to increase Pegasus' tameness after each mount. Pegasus is always created peaceful, making it simple to tame if one can cast charm monster reliably.

Pegasus will always leave a corpse, meaning that provided he isn't disintegrated or killed over lava, one can always revive him. Unfortunately, he will not wear an amulet of reflection, unlike a ki-rin.
