Pegasus

“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

Pegasus (plural Pegasi) are winged mounts in Fire Emblem games. They're very similar to their real world mythology, although they only accept females as riders; similar to the old myth of a unicorn only accepting a pure-hearted maiden as its rider. They seem to live many years because Elincia's pegasus belonged to her great-grandmother and still looks young, it goes to battles and it can carry Elincia. In Fire Emblem: Awakening there are black pegasi which are ridden by the Dark Flier class.

Habitat

Pegasi seem to live in cold climate areas such as Ilia and Silesse.
