Tulpar is a legendary winged or celestial horse in Turkic mythology, akin to the Greek Pegasus. The origins of Tulpar are intertwined with the hunting traditions of Central Asian peoples, who used horses and falconry birds. Over time, these two animals merged in the human imagination, creating the winged horse known as Tulpar.
