A couple of men in togas encounter a dinosaur-type beast. The incident ends tragically for the beast and one of the men. Many years later, we are apparently in medieval times, give or take a few thousand years. Our hero turns out to be the younger man, who survived the opening attacks. He is blacksmith Sebastian Roche (as Belleros). The villains are magical Carlo Rota (as King Orthos) and henchman James Kidnie (as General Actae). They both have shaved heads. One drinks the other's blood and throws-up "Chimera"...
On the less dark side, Mr. Roche gets royal help from pretty Nazneen Contractor (as Princess Philony) and motherly Mimi Kuzyk (as Queen Caria). They are assisted by the occasionally winged horse "Pegasus". The monster "Chimera" is patterned after a feline. It looks most realistic when jumping a few feet up, in one scene. You'll have to wait until the last moment of this "Syfy" TV movie to see "Pegasus" in all his glory. It's too bad "Mr. Ed" was no longer available to play with the role. There is a molecule of wit contributed by director John Bradshaw and Mr. Rota, but there's no denying "Pegasus vs. Chimera" is a wasted effort. The shaky camera is not a special effect.
