    I think it’s worth noting that Pegasus and Cerberus are proper names of individual creatures, not species.

      Are there names for “winged-horses” and “three-headed dogs” in general?

        Don’t think so, which is probably why they are sometimes used as common nouns even though they’re technically proper nouns.
