In case you're wondering, the most commonly accepted generic term for [[Winged Horse|Winged Horses]] is "''pterripi''". However they're often simply called "pegasi/pegasus" after the most famous example -- see [[A Kind of One]].
Compare [[Istanbul (Not Constantinople)]], which is similar but for place names.
When a completely fantastical character is named after a commonly-known creature, see [[Call a Smeerp a Rabbit]], which is a sister trope. The title is a takeoff on [[Call a Rabbit a Smeerp]], and is a reference to one of the best-known examples.
