Hello Again,
	I know I don't respond often to the list, but this time I think 
I might add in my opinion.  First, I don't necessarily agree with or 
disagree with either side. I just thought I would share my findings
and thoughts.  About the Pegasus and unicorn, I know that those are 
"supposed" to be a pagan myth and not to be of good to believers. They 
are found in a lot of wrongful games and beliefs.  I think that a person
who is coming away from such a game as D&D or other "worldly"
role-playing
games that have those characters in them might get confused.  Not that 
they are in D&D I wouldn't know never played it before.  But people 
who have seen them for bad then come to know Christ might get confused 
seeing them in the DR game.  Next, I thought I would add some scripture 
about what the Bible says about angels:  someone mentioned something
about
entertaining angels here is that scripture, Hebrews 13:2 "Do not forget
to 
entertain strangers, for by doing so some people have entertained angels
without 
knowing it."  (Sounds more human to me)  Next, Num. 22:23 "When the
donkey saw
the angel of the Lord standing in the road with a drawn sword in his
hand...." (Another
place where it sounds like they were in human form.) Plus my mother said
that those
who saw angels, Joseph, Mary, and others were probably shocked to see an
angel 
causing the reaction and the angel having to say fear not.  The angels if
they 
look like the cherubim do have wings making someone a little fearful.
Okay, now 
you do have creative leniency, and can make the creatures good if you
would like, 
so it is up to you.  I also like the idea of making them a sort of
talking creature, 
but that still leaves much. Yes, artwork has shown them a certain way but
as I've 
shown the bible shows that they can and do at times if not all the time
look like humans. 
That's all.

Servant of the Most High,
Ryan
