So I was looking up everything related to Centaur in the MGE the other day and realized: No Pegasus; why is this?

In terms of creatures of myth, Pegasus is the easiest to look up as she is in both the myth of Perseus where Perseus rides the Pegasus to slay the Kraken with the head of Medusa, and the myth of Bellerophon, son of Poseidon, who rides the Pegasus to slay the Chimaera. We have all the other aforementioned monsters and even Poseidon, so why not Pegasus?

Honestly, her MGE entry basically writes itself if you go just off the Bellerophon myth. Pegasus was in a cave that Poets frequent who attempt to ride her to gain inspiration for poetry. She is mischevious and quite willing to let anyone mount her and aquire said poetic inspiration. Once you do though, she will immediately take to the air and do everything possible to buck you off and drop you on your head, which causes amnesia and causes anyone dropped to lose all memory of their inspiration. If one manages to not get bucked off, however, Pegasus is the most loyal mount in all of Greek Myth and will never leave your side no matter the danger to herself.



Thus for the MGE entry that can be rought with innuendo: if you mount her and can ride her all the way, she is yours for life as a prospective wife; but if you cannot, then for love with her you have no shot.
