Is there a unique and specific proper name for a winged horned horse? |
[Edit] |
Answer
In modern mythology, the winged horned horse is often called a Unipeg.
Pegasus is a winged horse (no horn)
Unicorn is a one horn horse (no wings)
There are not winged horned horses in traditional folklore, however, some modern comics and manga have depicted such creatures.
There are also pterippi (sing. pterippus), which is a generic term for winged horses. Although nowadays the term pegasi (plural of pegasus) is used.
There are however other horse-like creatures with wings (incl. hippogriffs, pterocentaurs, papillequines, and hippolepdidopteri).
