English words directly imported from Latin usually have two possible pluralizations:

1) adding -s or -es, as normally done in English, or

2) using a Latin plural based on declension

Pegasus is a Latin word taken from Greek second declension masculine noun Πήγασος (Pēgasos). It's the given name of a mythical creature, but as a common noun it is also used to refer to any winged horse. Its plural form in English may either be pegasuses or Latin pegasi.

Be wary: in Latin only words from second declension follow this scheme. Others need to be memorized (viscus->viscera; octopus->octopodes; manus->manus).
