'''Pegasi and Silver Pegasi''' are the level 4 creatures of [[Rampart]]. They are recruited from the [[Enchanted Spring]]. 

''"Pegasi, winged horses ridden by female elven warriors, are the [[flying]] cavalry of the Rampart army. Their appearance on the battlefield makes it more difficult for enemy [[spellcaster]]s, who must pay two extra spell points per spell cast when pegasi are present."{{-}}<sup>[[Restoration of Erathia Manual Page 106|RoE manual]]''</sup>

== Special Ability: Magic Damper ==
Both Pegasi and Silver Pegasi have a ''magic damper'' special ability. It causes enemy hero's spells to cost two extra [[spell point]]s, if pegasi were present at the beginning of the combat. Even if all the pegasi die during the battle, the spells will cost two extra points until the end of combat.

== Heroes with a specialty ==
*{{H|Aeris|Druid}} has pegasi as a [[Specialty#Creature_specialties|specialty]], which increases the attack and defense skills of any pegasi or silver pegasi for each level attained after 4th level and gives them a [[speed]] bonus of 1.

{{Fanopinion|
The main strength of both Pegasi lies in their speed allowing them to block enemy ranged troops from firing along with hit and run tactics.

9 [[Attack]] is tied for the lowest among level 4 creatures, 8/10 [[Defense]] and 30 [[Health]] is slightly below average making them somewhat prone to dying easily, and 5-9 [[Damage]] is average. Pegasi's 8 speed is above average, and Silver Pegasi's 12 is the highest of the level 4 troops, being faster than all of the creatures in [[Stronghold]] and [[Tower]] which can often give the hero commanding them the chance to cast spells first in combat before the Level 7 creatures become available. 250/275 {{g}} is very cheap with only Demons and Horned Demons are cheaper.

[[Bless]] and [[Curse]] have a noticeable effect on them due to the damage range. Bless increases their average damage by ~28%/43% (7 → 9/10) at basic and advanced level respectively, while Curse under the same conditions decreases that damage by the same amount (7 → 5/4).

Because of their relative fragility, the best spells to cast on Pegasi are arguably [[Stone Skin]], [[Shield]], and [[Air Shield]]. Protection from whatever and [[Anti-Magic]] can also help if fighting against an enemy spellcaster.

[[Prayer]] is as usual a helpful buff to give as it helps mitigate the Pegasi's low attack and defense while making them even faster.

[[Slow]] can ensure that Pegasi won't reach enemy targets in 1 round, while [[Haste]] can allow them to fly anywhere on the battlefield.

In long battles, the magic damper can help outlast the enemy hero's supply of spell points. It also counters the spell point cost reduction of the [[Mage and Arch Mage]].

The most helpful secondary skills for Pegasi would be [[Armorer]] to minimize casualties and the number of [[Resurrection|resurrections]] needed, and [[Offense]] helps with their damage output. [[Leadership]], [[Luck]], and [[Resistance]] can be helpful at times but aren't as reliable.
