Legasus

The Legasus, also known as the Pegasus Leggy or the Pegasian Leggy, is a mythological species of leggy. Most stories agree it to be a one of a kind creature, although a few myths, as well as most modern depictions of the creature turn it from a single individual into an entire species, albeit a very rare one.
==Appearance==
As is normal for mythological creatures, the appearance of the Legasus is highly inconsistent across myths. Pretty much the only thing any myth can agree on is that the Legasus is a leggy with feathery wings. 
Most depictions of the Legasus describe it as resembling an ordinary leggy in every way; black fur, gold eyes, and a Sheep Cloak, with the wings being the only thing out of the ordinary about it. However, some stories describe it with snow white fur instead of black fur and/or sky blue eyes instead of gold eyes. Modern depictions of the Legasus sometimes depict it with brightly colored fur, but this isn't accurate to any myth.
Some stories describe the Legasus as wearing Ram Horns or Ibex Horns. Once again, modern depictions occasionally depict it as wearing an Icicle Horn of any color, but this isn't mythologically accurate.
==Habitat==
As is usual in mythology, the habitat of the Legasus is inconsistent. Most stories state it lived on Mount Olymbean, but other stories state it lived in the Podicrene atop Mount Spinnicon, where the Muse Boiz lived according to Olymbean mythology. Some stories state it lived in the clouds high above. One source claims that the Legasus lives on a small island off the coast of Eribean, but this seems to be the only source that claims this.
==Diet==
Once again, most myths cannot agree on what the Legasus eats. Most myths say it has the same diet as a normal Leggy, i.e. it eats grass, woody plants, and some types of flower. However, some stories say it eats clouds; some stories specifically say it eats thunderclouds and cannot eat any other type of cloud. Other stories say it eats thunderbolts. Some stories say it doesn't need to eat at all, it just needs to drink clean spring water to survive. Some stories even state that the Legasus is carnivorous.
==Mythological Depictions==
The Legasus originates from Olymbean mythology, where he is the son of the Poseidonan Boi and the Gorgonian Cheese Tiger named Medusa, and the brother of the Chrysaorian Boi. (Yes, a Spinny Boi and a Cheese Tiger were able to sire a Leggy and a regular, not part Cheese Tiger Spinny Boi. Mythology is weird like that.) He was supposedly born in the "springs of the Oceanian Boi," a mythological spring that supposedly encircles the entire inhabited Earth.
The exact circumstances of Legasus and his brother's birth are, once again, inconsistent to telling to telling. Some stories say that, when the legendary hero Perspinus beheaded Medusa, Legasus and his brother sprang from her neck; others state that they were the result of drops of Medusa's blood falling in the sea. Some stories state they they were born when Medusa's blood fell from the Earth, after which they were born from the ground. Some say they were formed from a mix of Medusa's blood, her pain, and the sea foam.
One of Legasus' most famous stories is his adventures with the hero Beanllerophon, where he helped Beanllerphon slay the mighty Memera, a mythological creature with the head of a Sunshine Cheese Lion on it's neck, the head of a Caprine Leggy extending from it's back, and a Serpentine Boi as a tail. While tales about how Beanllerophon came into possession of Legasus vary, the main one is that, after being told by Poleggydos to rest in the temple of the Athenian Boi and presented with a golden bridle by the aforementioned Spinny Goddess, Beanllerophon found Legasus drinking from a spring, captured him, and managed to tame him.
The two had many exploits together, but it eventually ended when Beanllerophon, overcome with pride, attempted to use Legasus to fly to Mount Olymbean. This really angered the Zeusian Boi, who sent a gadfly to sting Legasus. As a result of the stinging, Legasus panicked and kicked off Beanllerophon. Beanllerophon fell into a thorn bush, promptly had his eyes poked out by the thorns, and lived out the rest of his days in misery.
One of the things that myths can agree on is that, after a while, Legasus ended up getting turned into the constellation also called Legasus. Some say this happened immediately after Beanllerophon fell from Legasus' back. However, other stories say that Legasus finished the flight to Mount Olymbean, albeit without Beanllerophon, and served the Zeusian Boi for many years by carrying his thunderbolts before finally becoming a constellation.
== Trivia ==
* Since the Leggy Subspecies Wiki got shut down, I decided to post this here.
* Do to being a one of a kind creature in the mythologies it originated from, there is no official plural for Legasus. However, most people pluralize Legasus as either "legasuses" or "legasi."
* It is believed that the mythology of the Legasus was possibly inspired by the Nimbus Leggy, a real species of leggy with feathery wings, or the mythical Thunder Leggy, which doesn't have wings but does have a similar association with clouds and thunder.
