Does the coat of pegasi consist of standard fur found on unicorns and earth ponies, or does it actually consist of little feathers, fluffy ones? If the former, at which point does the fur blend in with the feathers for the wings, and how?
>>42711434Their fur is normal. Feathers are only on the wings.
>>42711434This actually brings up an excellent point. At what point on their backs/sides do pegusi feathers end and where does the fur actually begin? What does it look like around this area of their hides?Personally, my guess is that the area that the wings are attached is covered in fur but this becomes sparse as you go out onto the frontal arm portion of the wing where the fur is replaced by feathers.Have there been any really good creative attempts at exploring this detail in peg anatomy?
>>42711434the chest, belly and crotch are feathers. rest is fur

>Horses have hair, not fur, though the term "coat" is also used to describe the hair on their bodies. The main difference is that fur is typically denser and shorter, used for better insulation, while hair is longer and less dense. Horses have longer, more flexible hair on their manes and tails and shorter, protective hair on their bodiesAll the races have the same hair/coat.

>>42711434they have a denser undercoat to stay warm at altitude.
>>42711434It's very thin hairs, like with all the other ponies. Wings are what have the feathers.
>>42711434>at which point does the fur blend in with the feathers for the wingsAt the base of the wing, and that's it. Most genetic variations that could give you feathers anywhere else are fetally or neonatally lethal because there's some wierd crosstalk with cellular metabolism. Pegasus biology is as brutal and unforgiving as their ancient history.
