A Pegasus in Dungeons & Dragons is a celestial, winged horse known for its grace, intelligence, and strong moral compass. It appears in multiple editions of the game as a lawful good creature that serves as both a noble ally and a powerful mount. Pegasi are typically white-coated with large, feathered wings, capable of flying at high speeds. They are not just beasts but intelligent beings with their own will, often choosing their riders rather than being tamed.

In most editions, Pegasi have keen senses, the ability to communicate telepathically with their kind, and an innate resistance to corruption. They are often found in idyllic meadows or celestial realms, avoiding evil creatures and those who seek to enslave them. However, some powerful beings—such as dark sorcerers—have sought to capture and break them for nefarious purposes, though this is extremely difficult due to their strong will and ability to flee.

As a mount, a Pegasus grants its rider an incredible tactical advantage with its flying speed, allowing swift travel across dangerous terrain or the battlefield. In campaigns, they are often linked to divine forces, sometimes serving as steeds for celestial beings or champions of good-aligned deities.

Taming or bonding with a Pegasus usually requires a display of virtue, trust, and a shared moral alignment rather than force. Players seeking to acquire one as a mount may need to prove themselves through quests or divine favor. In some settings, entire herds of Pegasi exist, protected by celestial beings or hidden from those who would exploit them.

While their presence in a campaign is rare, encountering a Pegasus often signifies divine intervention, an upcoming heroic journey, or a chance for players to align themselves with a greater cosmic purpose.
