Adult aresian hellenic pegasi are calmer than legends lead one to believe. Although they appear to enjoy the destruction war brings, the adults rarely take part in the violence itself. They are solitary creatures, mating once every few years. The courting process is rather complex, involving the male aresian hellenic pegasus destroying a small bush as a way of impressing the female. As soon as the female gives birth the male leaves, ready for another period of solitary life. The females care for their foals for a short period, as they do not have the patience to tend to their young. They enjoy strategizing, gladly helping those who seek their guidance; if these people prove to be worthy of their attention. Being a symbol of war, destruction, and violence, many fear them. Small villages and secluded tribes burn sage and sing songs in strange languages as a prayer to these pegasi, hoping to be blessed with success in the battles to come. Others make small sacrifices in hopes of another year of strategically avoided battles. Few are those who seek to befriend the adult aresian hellenic pegasi, knowing even fewer were ever able to gain the favors of such a creature.
Aresian hellenic pegasi are seen as the embodiment of sheer brutality and bloodlust. As they are said to bring violence and war, their presence is usually considered bad luck. With an untamed personality, the aresian hellenic pegasi are approached by few. Those who dare to do so are considered either heroes or complete lunatics. The bravest of warriors are sent to the wilds to approach these creatures in hopes of gaining their favors in future battles. The aresian hellenic pegasi require different tasks to be fulfilled, from small sacrifices to complex strategic mind games. Favors are granted based on the results. These favors range from tactical ideas to accompanying the warriors in battle. Wars are rarely lost when aresian hellenic pegasi fight alongside warriors, yet inexperienced foals can make mistakes. If the opponents have a aresian hellenic pegasus on their side as well, the battle can stretch for years as the pegasi will try to outsmart each other constantly.
