Ruined Pegasus

Lore
Though Pegasus had morphed into a hideous demon after being cast into the pits of hell, it used to be a celestial steed that carried the gods on its back. Its present state was the price it paid for a single unforgiveable act: throwing its divine rider off its back. Forever barred from the Heavens, it forgot its former self and mutated into a hellish fiend as sinister as its infernal surroundings.
