A pegasus, u, is a type of monster that appears in EvilHack. It is a strong, oviparous and domestic horse-like animal that is herbivorous and capable of flight, infravision, and enhanced passive regeneration. A pegasus has two kick attacks and a bite attack, and possesses sleep resistance and poison resistance.
Generation
The pegasus is not randomly generated. A pegasus is always generated on the bottom-most level of the Ice Queen's Realm, where it is contained within a small 2x2 cell in the central room of the castle along with up to 3 pegasus eggs.
A pegasus can hatch into a pegasus.
Strategy
A pegasus is easily among one of the best steeds available to riding-capable characters and makes for a generally solid pet besides. With care, it can easily grow up into a greater pegasus in no time at all.
Encyclopedia entry
The famous winged horse, whose origin is thus related. When
Perseus struck off the head of Medusa, with whom Poseidon had
had intercourse in the form of a horse or a bird, there sprang
forth from her Chrysaor and the horse Pegasus. The latter
obtained the name Pegasus because he was believed to have made
his appearance near the sources (pegai) of Oceanus.
