Posted Aug 18, 2019It would make sense for a warlock, especially an infernal or abbisal one. Maybe with a summoning spell.

Posted Aug 23, 2019Definitely up to the DM, the description does say they do not appear naturally and are instead created through a ritual that involves tearing the wings off a pegasi and turning it into a Nightmare. So there's already info on how they're created, and players can already use pegasi as mounts through spells like find greater steed, then it's up to the DM to decide whether or not the knowledge of the ritual are shared with the PCs :)

Posted Oct 21, 2019The mount summoned by Find Greater Steed is just a spirit that takes the form of the mount you choose. Tearing off the spirit's wings (if possible) wouldn't transform it into a nightmare (specifically) or a fiend (generally). Except for DM homebrew fiat, of course.

Posted Mar 2, 2020I got one in Avernus for getting the infernal tack off of a boss I practically solo'd. Almost died in a very bad way but didn't and it was 100% worth it.
