The soaring Pegasus-like horse

Seen from the left side, the magical horse stretches all four legs into an airborne gallop. It has a long mane, a flowing tail, a prominent horn, and a broad feathered wing extending on its right side. A large billowing cloud surrounds the creature, while the rest of the sky remains open.

Winged horses in mythology

Pegasus is the famous winged horse of ancient Greek mythology and is traditionally described without a horn. A fantasy horse that has both wings and a unicorn horn is often called an alicorn in modern stories and games. Clouds help such creatures appear high above the ground, although real horses cannot fly.

Traditional and natural colors for the fantasy figure

  • Horse coat: white, black, chestnut, bay, gray, or another natural horse color
  • Mane and tail: black, brown, flaxen, white, or gray
  • Feathered wing: often imagined as white, though fantasy art uses many colors
  • Unicorn horn: commonly shown as ivory, gold, silver, or softly iridescent
  • Cloud: white in direct sunlight and gray where water droplets block more light
Questions and answers

Questions and answers

Is this creature strictly a Pegasus?
Pegasus is usually a winged horse without a horn. Because this horse has both features, it more closely matches the modern fantasy creature called an alicorn.
Could a horse fly with birdlike wings in the real world?
No. A horse is far too heavy for wings shaped like a bird's to lift it, and its body is not adapted for powered flight.
What are clouds made of?
Clouds consist of countless tiny water droplets, ice crystals, or both. They remain aloft because the particles are extremely small and move with the surrounding air.
