A class of characters from the [[Fire Emblem]] metaseries that ride [[pegasus|pegasi]] into battle. Because nearly all breeds of pegasus do not like men riding them, they are always ridden by women, so all Pegasus Knights are female. They tend to sport a generally uniform attire throughout the metaseries, mostly consisting of a [[short dress]] with [[thigh boots]]; as such, [[zettai ryouiki]] is an extremely common design trait on Pegasus Knights. They usually wield [[lance|lances]] and [[spear|spears]] as their primary weapons, although there are rare exceptions that prefer [[sword|swords]]. A small [[breastplate]] and [[pauldrons]] are typically worn over the dress, usually matching the Pegasus Knight's hair color.

Pegasus Kights commonly promote to [b]Falcon Knights[/b], who gain a secondary type of equipment upon promotion: swords in the earlier games, and since [[Fire Emblem Awakening]], staves. Other promotions include [b]Wyvern Knights[/b], [b]Dark Falcons[/b] and [b]Kinshi Knights[/b], the last of which may or may not fall under the same category since they ride giant birds instead of pegasi and are a shared promotion with the Archer.

This trait is first introduced in [[Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War]]; generic enemy Pegasus Knight in the Akaneia/Archanea games are male. Non-recruitable Pegasus Knights in the GBA games inexplicably all have "male" stats. The class is also made available to male and female units in [[Fire Emblem Fates]] and renamed Pegasus Warriors (Sky Knights in the English version), with [[Subaki_(fire_emblem)|Subaki]] and [[shigure_(fire_emblem)|Shigure]] being playable male characters from this class. The explanation behind male Sky Knights is because the Hoshidan and Nohrian breeds do not mind men riding them, as explained by [[Subaki_(fire_emblem)|Subaki]] in a support chain.
