The sources attribute Bayard a supernatural origin within the medieval chansons de geste, especially the cycle surrounding The Four Sons of Aymon; beyond being described as of supernatural origin, the supplied materials do not elaborate a specific birth or creation narrative. The regional name Peird van Sint-Gillis (literally 'horse of Saint Gillis') reflects a vernacular form used in later folkloristic contexts, but the provided sources do not supply a fuller etymology or origin tale tied to Saint Gillis.
The supplied sources describe the figure simply as a 'magical bay horse' (a horse of bay coloration). No additional standardized physical details—such as size, markings, tack, or other consistent features—are recorded in the provided materials.
According to the cited summaries, Bayard possesses magical qualities including notable strength and intelligence and the specific supernatural ability to adjust his size to accommodate his riders. He functions as an animate, intelligent mount and companion in epic narratives; beyond size-adjustment, strength, and intelligence the provided sources do not list further powers or feats in detail.

Pegasus
A singular winged horse of ancient Greek myth, usually depicted as a white stallion. Born in variants tied to Medusa's death and the springs of Oceanus, Pegasus creates sacred springs, serves as a bearer of Zeus's thunderbolts or storm-attendants, is tamed by Bellerophon with divine aid, and is later taken to Olympus and catasterized as a constellation.
Peird van Appels
Peird van Appels is attested in available sources as the name of a folkloristic horse associated with the town of Appels in East Flanders, Belgium. The extant references supply the name and classification only; no narrative, descriptive, or ritual details are recorded in the provided sources.
Peisistratus (son of Nestor)
In the Homeric tradition Peisistratus is a mortal nobleman, the son of Nestor of Pylos, who accompanies Telemachus during parts of his voyage in the Odyssey. The same name also belongs to a separate historical figure, the 6th-century BC Athenian ruler Pisistratus; modern sources sometimes conflate the two by name only.
Peitho
In ancient Greek thought Peitho (Πειθώ) is the personification and occasional goddess of persuasion, winning eloquence, and charm. She functions both as a named divine attendant in myth and cult and as the abstract power or virtue of persuasive speech, especially in erotic/nuptial and civic contexts.
Peko
Peko is a Baltic‑Finnic agrarian spirit and cult figure associated with barley, brewing, and field fertility, particularly attested in Seto, Estonian, and Finnish traditions. He appears in cult practice as a guardian of granaries and crops, a focus of seasonal feasts and offerings, and is invoked in rituals for rain, abundance, and certain soil‑related cures.
Pelagon
Pelagon is a personal name attested in ancient Greek mythic and genealogical sources for several distinct mortal or semi-divine figures (kings, warriors, hunters, companions). The supplied sources present multiple individuals called Pelagon rather than a single coherent supernatural entity; later modern uses of the name are homonymous and do not indicate a unified mythic being.
Pelasgians
In Greek tradition, the Pelasgians were a collective term for indigenous people inhabiting Greece before the emergence of the Greeks. (Note: 1. Power tier should be Primordial is incorrect; given that there's no information about their abilities or behaviors, they should not have a power tier assigned. 2. Appearance should state "No physic)
Pelasgos
Pelasgos is an eponymous ancestral figure (and ethnic label Pelasgians/Pelasgoi) from Greek mythohistory used to account for the antiquity and origins of certain peoples and cults in Greece. He appears across regionally variable traditions as a foundational progenitor rather than a supernatural monster or spirit.
