Well, if you want to go back to the original Greek, it's Pegasos, it's the proper name of the one and only flying horse, and the plural (if more than one existed) would be "flying horses" or,  if you insist on using Greek, "pterippi" (singular pterippus, meaning "winged horse").

Personally, I think the English words pegasus/pegasi are fine, going back to the Greek for the plural but not the singular (especially given it's not even the Greek word for a flying horse to begin with) is...odd. Like saying the plural of ponycorn is "Celestias".


Does anyone else find it annoying that elephant bones and tusks are worth more (x5) than unicorn horns (x4)?

No. Ivory is ivory, but in most worlds uniorn horn is make believe, ergo, worthless. (or at least worth less)

[PET]'ing can be done in-world.  So can [CAN_LEARN], [CAN_SPEAK], size, age, and even number of limbs!  In that regard, creatures are extremely easy to mod after worldgen.  By contrast, nothing in the entity file can be modded.
That's interesting. Really interesting.
