Welcome to What The Heck's Creature Feature! These episodes release on Saturdays and look at folklore and cryptids from around the world! The same academic style is applied to these episodes, but they look at history and eyewitness reports before describing the creature of the week! A lot of the time, theories are a bit more scarce than the main episodes, but the content is still just as interesting.

This week we're looking back at the archive of episodes I forgot existed. Back in Greek mythology, we're looking at one of the main characters from a Disney animated film. Pegasus, historically, never met Hercules, or Herakles as he was originally named. Instead, he was met by the likes of Perseus and Bellepheron before joining the gods on Mount Olympus. Were there more Pegasi? How was he born? What did this winged horse get up to? Listen in to find out!
