LEGO Group designer George Gilliatt stated on X that the “Mythical Pegasus (40691)” will be available as a purchase bonus in late August.
In the same post, it is explained that this Pegasus is the ‘long lost sister’ of the LEGO® Creator Unicorn released in March 2023.

What is the Difference Between Pegasus and Unicorn?
Pegasus is a legendary creature from Greek mythology, known as a horse with bird-like wings that can fly. It is said to be the child of Poseidon, the sea god, and Medusa.

On the other hand, the term unicorn means “having a single horn,” so it technically includes animals other than horses. The origin is attributed to the Greek historian Ctesias, who, around the 4th century BC, wrote about it in a book called “Indica,” describing it as if it were a real animal based on his observations.
In India, there are wild asses the size of horses or larger. Their bodies are white, their heads are dark red, their eyes are dark blue, and they have a single horn on their foreheads about one cubit (approximately 44.46 centimeters) in length. (Unicorn@Wikipedia)

Must-Have Pair!
While Pegasus and Unicorn are both mythical creatures, they generally don’t have a special relationship.
However, as Mr. Gilliatt suggests, if they are considered long-lost sisters, it’s only natural to want to display them together. Tears of emotion are guaranteed!
Enjoy displaying Pegasus and Unicorn side by side!
