Element: Life 
An eleuthyian hellenic pegasus is considered an adult when flowers begin blooming in its mane and tails, usually a year after it hatched. The flowers have many useful properties - just being near one tends to calm people, and fresh flowers are a critical ingredient in many healing potions. Eleuthyian hellenic pegasi mate for life and court by growing and bringing flowers to their intended partner, and a pair’s offspring often stay with them for a few years, helping to care for their siblings, before leaving to search for a mate of their own. Despite their skittishness, eleuthyian hellenic pegasi have been known to sometimes help humans in great need, but they must be approached cautiously. While they generally avoid conflict, a cornered adult is capable of turning their life magic offensive, growing verdant walls and literally rooting their attacker in place in the blink of an eye.
Eleuthyian hellenic pegasi are gentle, elusive creatures, so filled with life magic that their every step is trailed by the sprouting and blooming of wildflowers. Wild ones travel in small familial groups, always passing through the lands near the Keep during the transition between spring and summer, though sightings of them are rare, as they are incredibly shy and bolt at the slightest provocation. Being able to ride one is a mark of deep respect and trust, most commonly a privilege only granted to magi skilled in both healing and herb lore. Eleuthyian hellenic pegasi are peaceful and will never carry their rider into battle, but tales abound of gentle healers and peacemakers who have forestalled entire wars by landing between gathered armies and appealing to their better natures. Those who have been able to approach an eleuthyian hellenic pegasus confirm that they exude a calming aura, though it is unclear to what extent they can use and focus this ability.
