Changes: Pegasus

Revision as of 16:12, 26 June 2016

“Ah, the pegasus, the proud, winged horse. You know, they only attach to someone they accept as their master. And did you know that pegasi fly by kicking the air, not by flapping their wings? It's a common misconception, but wings are mainly used for gliding.”
—Lute to Vanessa

The Pegasus (ペガサス, alternately 天馬) are winged mounts in Fire Emblem games. They're very similar to their real world mythology, although they generally only accept females as riders; similar to the old myth of a unicorn almost always only accepting a pure-hearted maiden as its rider, due to their disdain of men. They seem to able of living for many years because Elincia's pegasus belonged to her great-grandmother and still looks young, can goes into battles and it can carry Elincia. In Fire Emblem Awakening there are black pegasi which are ridden by the Dark Flier class.

In TearRing Saga: Utna Heroes Saga, Pegasi are said to be the sacred beasts known only to inhabit the forests of Saria.

In the Japanese version of Fire Emblem Fates, the C-rank support between Selena and Subaki on the third path reveals the Pegasi shown in Hoshido are actually Tenma, a species of winged horses that are similar in appearance to Pegasi, but have an easier time accepting male riders, and the people of Hoshido called Pegasi holy beasts; the difference is a commonly known fact on the continent the game takes place in. Also, Tenma are rather picky when it come to their riders, and are generally unwilling to anyone ride them, if their hearts are filled with hatred, as Hinoka stated in her C-Support with Subaki and her S-Support with a Male Avatar.
