Dislikes ----- : White Pegasus. If these two creatures encounter each other, they will most likely fight to the death (10+ roll).
Disposition - : The female Pegasus spends much time with adventurous young men, aiding in their cause, as is the custom of the species of the Pegasus. The males tend to spend much time with adventurous young maidens. Indeed, the Pegasus seeks out companions, aiding them in quests fervently, for they are of an adventurous spirit themselves and love the company of young men and women that would brave an adventure.
Pegasus are noble, no matter their align (the Dark Pegasus is noble to the dark side, while its cousin, the White Pegasus, is noble to the light side -- they are complete opposites).
This creature is very wary of other species, which molds a disposition of strength and fortitude, as well as a mind for taking chances. If challenged, this legendary creature is rather fierce and brave. If confronted by another creature, it will meet its challenge boldly, especially in defense of its companions. Once in loyal company with a Pegasus, it will go to any extreme to ensure their safety and well being, nurturing an everlasting friendship.

Likes -------- : All races, and those of an adventurous spirit and nature, no matter their align.
They are also curiously drawn to spell-casters (especially the magician).
This creature loves the freedom of the heavens. When encountered, it is mostly seen upon the tops of mountains, standing majestically as if posing for an artist painting the perfect picture. It loves the view that high mountain ranges give, and is seen at times observing the wanderings of travelers and the stars of heaven.

Note --------- : None.

Sense of Return: This creature, wherever it may roam, can sense which way its home is with a successful avoidance-roll vs. "Wisdom" (two chances to succeed).

Special Defenses:
Betrayal: At the beginning of each turn, opponent(s) of the Dark Pegasus must successfully pit their mental-strength vs. the mental-strength of the Pegasus (single roll check), or inadvertently turn and strike nearest ally in company. If no allies are present, an enemy will appear as though a stupor of thought has taken hold, causing the loss of that offensive turn. Ability Usuable: 1/24 hours. Duration: 1-D4 +1 turns.
Obscurity: Will partially veil the mind of all opponents with a mental-like haze, causing a -30 to all offensive rolls unless an avoidance-roll vs. "Awareness (Vision)" is successful. Duration: 1-D4 +1 turns.

Wings of Zephyr: This offense will cause a tempest to commence around the Dark Pegasus, reaching out 12 spaces in all directions.
