A pegasus is a flying horse in mythology.Being the flying horse it is,I thought it would be a great choice of transport by air,since Jeb has added horses in 1.6.Now,let me tell you the stats,where could it be found,spawn rate,etc.
Stats:
HP:15 hearts
Flying Speed:Faster than a minecart,a bit slower than a horse.
See,the pegasus can't attack.So I didn't put Damage in the stats.
Now where could it be found? It can be founded in an extreme hills biome or an ice mountain biome.
The spawn rate of the pegasus? 3x lower than an enderman or maybe 1 per 8 chunks.It depends.
The size of the pegasus? Same as horses.
Now,let's get into flying,The pegasus would need to be tamed in order to fly.You can tame it with 10-20 feathers.After would've tamed it,you must put a saddle on it.But it must be a Pegasus Saddle.This new item can be crafted like this:
Now,put the Pegasus Saddle on the pegasus.Now you can ride it.The pegasus will be in it's flying postion (wings up) Now you can fly it.Phew,let's see the pros and cons now!
Pros:
You can throw snowballs while riding the pegasus.
Fast travel.
Good for going on long adventures.
Cons:
You cannot shoot with a bow while on it.
Skeletons do massive damage to the pegasus,3 hearts max.
You cannot throw ender pearls while riding the pegasus.
Well,that's all!
Please leave some criticism and have a nice day!
The idea is still a bit vague. How do we control it? Can we attack with swords while riding? Exactly what does it look like?
Also, the pegasus saddle doesn't make much sense, as regular saddles cannot be obtained through crafting. So a saddle for a flying creature that can be crafted is just... bleh. I would much rather the crafting recipe include a regular saddle.
I really can't help it, but I have to point out that pegasus is singular, and pegasi is plural.
With that out of the way... I don't think adding a second "horselike" creature is the way to go if we're going to be flying in Minecraft. I feel it should be more original, but that's just my opinion.
I also don't like the taming method. It's way too easy to acquire twenty feathers.
I also don't see the point of the pegasus if it is slower than a horse. You stated that it is good for going on long adventures and "fast travel" but I would personally prefer the horse for fast travel, despite the risks on ground. Besides... they've got those huge wings, with all that surface area, they can easily push through the air quickly.

To be honest, I feel that air travel on mounts should remain the province of modding. I think there should be some means of flying around that can be equipped to the player (craftable wings or a redstone powered pack, or some such), but at the same time... flight would kind of ruin a lot of PvP servers.
I'd rather to feed a horse an Enderdragon egg, thus creating a pegasus
This would be better, gives a use to the Enderdragon egg, makes getting the Pegasus hard to get due to only 1 egg per world; a end game type scenario.

Good point, only 1 person could have it , which makes it unfair for others. Maybe you can't wear armor while on the Pegasus? And the Pegasus health would be low enough to get shot out of the sky by a few well aimed charged arrows.

To touch Divinity, one must be prepared to brave Reality.
This would be better, gives a use to the Enderdragon egg, makes getting the Pegasus hard to get due to only 1 egg per world; a end game type scenario.
"Colder than the ice that cover the stones and freezes the rivers"
"Colder than the north wind blowing through a winter-bound forest"
"Colder than all these is the smile of a Shade of the Dark"
However, multiplayer is an issue.
