Dark Pegasi

The Dark Pegasi are corrupted versions of normal Pegasi. Native to the Chaos Wastes, they fly south into the north of the Spine Mountains to make their nests.  

Overview

  It is from these eyries that the Dark Elvesi steal young Pegasi to serve as steeds, knowing that the adults are too savage to be trained. The majority of these young Dark Pegasi are sold in Ghrond, for such beasts are favoured as steeds by the Druchii Sorceresses but may also be ridden by Dreadlords.   Dark Pegasi are bat-winged denizens of the Chaos Wastes that migrate south to make their nests in the highest peaks of the Spine Mountains next to Nagrath. A Dark Pegasus is a swift and certain hunter, able to soar upon thermals for hour upon hour, patiently tracking its prey. Only when the quarry is at its most vulnerable does the Dark Pegasus launch into a swooping dive, its jagged horns aimed to impale. Although all Pegasi are formidable fighters at need, only the Dark Pegasus seems to revel in combat. They are aggressive and kick out their front hooves in an effort to intimidate their foes.
