Pegasus

A pegasus from Tellius

“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 recurring winged mounts which present in every Fire Emblem game and TearRing Saga: Utna Heroes Saga. They generally only accept females as riders, similar to the old myth of a unicorn which only accepts a pure-hearted maiden as its rider.

Overview

In Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Pegasi are revealed to be capable of living for many years through the detail of Elincia's pegasus being belonged to her great-grandmother but still looks young and able to accompany her into battles.

In Fire Emblem Awakening, in addition to the traditional pegasi, there are black pegasi which are ridden by the Dark Flier class.

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 (天馬), 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 for 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.

Etymology

Pegasus is one of the most well-known creatures in Greek mythology, a flying horse usually depicted in pure white color. His father was Poseidon and his mother was the gorgon Medusa; he was born when Medusa was decapitated by Perseus.

Trivia

  • Male enemy units have been seen riding Pegasi in the third game.
  • Karin in Thracia 776 says pegasi allowing males to ride them is very rare; either indicating there are exceptions, or referring to the rescue mechanic. 
  • The following is a list of names given to Pegasi by their respective owners:
