This question was being debated on Facebook today so I thought I would see what you TOLers thought.

Why should the Pegasus stay and fight when it can just fly away?

Hatred. Red hot fiery hatred for all unicorns. Pegasuseses HATE unicorns.

I think the unicorn would win. I'd rather own a pegasus though.

Hmmmm... good question.

Maybe he's sick of the unicorn getting all the attention?

I agree, but what's your reasoning behind your guess?

[Knight]

I added a poll so we could tabulate the votes.

Unicorns bite really hard. That and the big sharp horn on their forehead. I dont see how pegasus gets around that thing.

That's what I think as well.

What could a Pegasus do? Flap his wings really hard?

If you've ever read a Letsargue post you should understand the damage a lot of directed wind can do.

I'll take Pegasus to reign death and verbiage from the sky.

From the image in the OP, the unicorn is a horse-like unicorn (instead of being a goat-like unicorn) and Pegasus is a winged horse of approximately the same size.

The traditional method of fighting among stallions is through biting, kicking with hind hooves, striking with front hooves, and ramming with shoulders.

The unicorn has a greater mass due to the hollow bones of Pegasus, increasing the power of the kicks and the ramming attacks.
The unicorn has an additional weapon (the horn) and can add stabbing with the horn as a weapon or can be used instead of shoulders for ramming (but that could break the unicorn's neck). However, the unicorn horn traditionally has the power to heal, so may not be effective in a fight.

Pegasus has wings as an additional weapon that can be used for buffeting.
Pegasus has flight which can be used to increase speed, and can be used in turn to increase the power of the ramming attacks.
Pegasus can also use the increased speed from flight to increase the power of kicking with hind hooves, while staying out of reach of every attack from the unicorn except for the horn.

Genuineoriginal, mind = blown.

Pegasus would win... superior mobility.

Whereas the unicorn has a stationary single weapon mounted on its forehead.

[Inzl Kett]

I would tend to side with the Unicorn, being an animal with greater mass and a stationary horn---but the Pegasus, if he were smart enough could give the Unicorn an emetic
thereby disabling him. Then the Pegasus can make his move, braking the Unicorn's neck with his huge wings.....

My mind or yours?
If you are saying my mind is blown, well I have known that for years.

If you are saying my analysis blew your mind, you are welcome.
