Scipio

Scipio (nicknamed Skippy) was Reyna's pegasus, nicknamed after the peanut butter brand, Skippy, because he was colored like peanut butter.

The Son of Neptune
During Camp Jupiter's War Game, Reyna acts as referee for the game and flies around on Scipio so she can get a clear view of the Field of Mars. Later, Scipio aids Reyna in the battle between Polybotes' army and Camp Jupiter by attacking Polybotes from the air.

The House of Hades
Reyna uses Scipio to fly across the Pacific Ocean to reach the Argo II. Her mission was to carry Athena Parthenos to Camp Half-Blood as a sign of peace treaty. During flight she was attacked by a gryphon.

After landing aboard the ship, Scipio had collapsed, overwhelmed by poisoned claw marks from a gryphon attack. Reyna had put the horse out of his misery with her  imperial gold knife.

Trivia
As Hazel points out in The Son of Neptune, Scipio is the only pegasi at Camp Jupiter. Before Hazel tames Arion, she is jealous because only Reyna is allowed to ride Scipio, and the unicorns are only for medicinal purposes.
