{{Infobox type |type=creature |stats={{stats|W=19|B=1|GW=2|RW=1}} {{stats|Pegasus creation|W=6|WU=1|state=collapsed}} as of ''[[March of the Machine]]'' }} {{TOCright}} '''Pegasus''' is a primarily [[white]] [[creature type]] used for cards that depict winged [[horse]]s. The original Greek Pegasus was the child of Poseidon, in his role as horse-god and the [[Gorgon]] Medusa. He was born of Medusa's blood after she was beheaded by Perseus. According to legend, everywhere the winged horse struck his hoof to the earth, an inspiring spring burst forth. It carried Bellerophon in his attack on the [[Chimera]]. The first card to bear the type was <c>Mesa Pegasus</c> in ''[[Alpha]]''. Pegasi can be found on [[Dominaria (plane)|Dominaria]], [[Ravnica]], and especially on the Greek-inspired plane of [[Theros (plane)|Theros]]. Mechanically, it tends to be one of the smaller white Flying creatures, with total power and toughness usually less than 5 and a mana value of 4 or less. The largest Pegasus is <c>Pegasus Guardian</c>, a six-mana 3/3. The first non-white pegasus was <c>Tizerus Charger</c> from ''[[Modern Horizons 2]]''. ==Storyline== ===Capenna=== In the city of [[New Capenna]], the plane's few remaining pegasi can be found as luxury pets in the [[Park Heights]] district. ===Dominaria=== The most famous pegasi on Dominaria live in eastern [[Aerona]], near the village of [[Sursi]]. According to the local custom, Sursi brides-to-be visit their territory, hoping a pegasus will judge her worthy and bless her and her family. In the [[Ice Age (event)|Ice Age]] the [[Order of Stromgald]] used huge war steeds which sometimes could fly (<c>Stromgald Crusader</c>). ===Rath=== A small number of pegasi existed on [[Rath]], although it is implied that they did not much like it there. After the planar overlay, it can be assumed that any surviving Rathi pegasi continued to survive on Dominaria. ===Ravnica=== The pegasi of Ravnica, as far as can be told, are all wild. Although surprisingly, such a useful animal could survive on the city plane without being domesticated by someone, there is no evidence that they have ever been tamed. Equenauts of [[Selesnya Conclave]] ride pegasi, combining the role of mounted warriors and scouts (<c>Conclave Equenaut</c>, <c>Flight of Equenauts</c>). However, [[Gideon Jura]] rode a pegasus called ''Promise'' in his attack on [[Nicol Bolas]].<ref name="Ashes">{{DailyRef|magic-story/war-spark-ravnica-ashes-2019-06-12|War of the Spark: Ravnica β Ashes|[[Greg Weisman]]|June 12, 2019}}</ref> ===Theros=== Pegasi are very common on Theros. Unlike those of other planes, Therosian pegasi are often used as mounts or hitched to flying chariots. (In Theros block, only <c>Gild</c> depicts a pegasus without harness or rider.) ===Vryn=== Pegasi are the favorite mount of military commanders (<c>Vryn Wingmare</c>). ==Tokens== {{Pegasus tokens|header=y}} ==Trivia== *<c>Giant Mantis</c> depicts pegasi that have fallen prey to a giant insect. *<c>Park Heights Pegasus</c> is the first and only multicolored pegasus. *<c>Tizerus Charger</c> is the first non-white pegasus, being [[Black]]. *The [[silver-bordered]] ''[[Secret Lair Drop Series: Ponies: The Galloping 2 - Extra Life 2023|Ponies: The Galloping 2]]'' set features two pegasi in <c>Fluttershy</c> and <c>Rainbow Dash</c> (the first pegasus with {{R}} in its color identity and cost). ==Gallery== <gallery> File:Pegasus Charger.jpg|From [[Dominaria (plane)|Dominaria]].
