* Pegasus , played by himself. He is a winged horse created by Zeus as a present for Hercules. Pegasus helped Bellerophon kill a chimera before returning to a teenaged Hercules.

* Icarus, played by Hiram. Icarus is the son of Daedalus and a winged cat boy who is a cat because he was punished by Zeus after flying too close to the sun when he was told not to. His crush on Cassandra will not die as much as his wings will stay. He is voiced by Greg Cipes.
