Pegasus


Pegasi are majestic winged horses akin to coursers in size and speed. Their tremendous eagle-like wings allow pegasi to soar through the sky or dive in fast swoops. If threatened, a pegasus will take to the air and fly away. Pegasi are rare creatures who inhabit high altitude plateaus – the more inaccessible, the better.

Doesn't speak despite having IQ 10, but will negotiate for food and good treatment. Pegasi have BL 97 with the following encumbrance breakdown:

  • None 97 lbs.
  • Light 194 lbs.
  • Medium 291 lbs.
  • Heavy 582 lbs.
  • Extra-Heavy 970 lbs.

A pegasus carrying more than a Medium load cannot move fast enough to stay airborn and will bear its rider as would a normal horse.

A wild adult pegasus is easily worth $200,000 or more. A foal or blooded pegasus is virtually priceless. Pegasi require special saddles to mount; these are custom-made and will cost at least $300. Food costs $7 and weighs 26 lbs. per day, and a professional groom is required ($90 per day). Stabling in Town usually costs $15 per day.
