Initially, when SmoothJazz proposed the animal crossover idea, my mind thought of the Pegapion, a mythical beast with the flight of a pegasus and the poisonous tail of a scorpion. The Pegapion (that’s right, it’s CAPITALIZED) was used for many battles, both mythical and real. Take for instance the Battle of Wallallahuakbar. This was a mythical battle that took place sometime around the birth of Jesus according to the tribe of Gillahad. They told tales of warriors draped in brown fighting off incoming invaders from. And guess what they rode? The Pegapion! The warriors draped in brown won because nothing can beat the Pegapion, and the invaders were overcome by it’s sheer and raw power.
However, unlike the birth of Jesus, that’s a myth. Even some Gillahadsmen have stated it never happened. But the Pegapion has been used in other historical battles! I’m sure you’ve heard of the Battle of Gettysburg, but did you know the only reason the North won was because Union Major General George Meade led his troops on top of a Pegapion? Robert E. Lee had no idea what to do and soon had to withdraw because not even as manliest man like Robert E. Lee can defeat the Pegapion! It is just that awesome!
The Pegapion has also been referenced in pop culture. Did you know that the Lord of the Rings trilogy was supposed to be four books? The fourth book would’ve occurred after the Fellowship left Rivendale. The first book would end there and would pick up with the fourth (or rather second) book called Lord of the Rings: The Battle of Evermore. In The Battle of Evermore the Fellowship would come across a massive army of orcs led by the Ringwraiths who rode in black after escaping the Mines of Moria. However, Boromir proves he’s not useless and summons Pegapions and the win the battle by riding Pegapions. However, Tolkien’s publisher wanted Boromir to stay useless, so he cut The Battle of Evermore and just had the Fellowship meet Galadriel instead. He combined it all into one book as well. One more thing to know. The government has kept Pegapions secret until now. I JUST LET THE SECRET OUT! HAHAHAHA GOVERNMENT! *self high five*
