MLP Doom Legion

Motor skills and hybrid behavior
Equestrian ponies combine the habits of real horses and humans. They walk on all fours, can rear up to express emotion, and express feelings with their ears and tail. They also sit on chairs, use cutlery, and write. Earth ponies: Have a connection to the earth and physical strength. They grasp objects with their mouths, hold them with their hooves using "magical attraction," or use their teeth. Unicorns: Use telekinesis. They surround objects with a glow of their magic for precise manipulation. Pegasi: Have wings, which they use not only for flight but also as "hands" for holding objects or gesturing.
Artifacts and Magic of Equestria: Cutie Mark: A design on the rump that appears when a pony realizes their unique talent and purpose. Crystal Heart: An ancient artifact of the Crystal Empire. It feeds on the joy and love of its inhabitants, protecting the kingdom from eternal winter and evil. King Sombra: A tyrant unicorn who enslaved the Crystal Empire a thousand years ago. He was banished, but returned, trying to destroy the Crystal Heart. But he was destroyed forever. Flurry Heart: Daughter of Princess Cadance and Shining Armor. The first alicorn in history to be born (as opposed to ascended). Possesses colossal, unstable magic. Pillars of Equestria: Six legendary heroes of old (Starswirl the Bearded, etc.) who created the Elements of Harmony and sacrificed themselves to save the world, but they were returned, and are currently doing well. The New Six: Students of different races (pony, griffin, dragon, yak, werewolf, hippogriff) who have united at the School of Friendship. Sunburst: A unicorn mage, incredibly knowledgeable in spell theory, a close friend of Starlight Glimmer and an advisor in the Crystal Empire. Relatives of the main characters: The Apple family (Big Mac, Apple Bloom, Granny Smith), Twilight's parents (Twilight Scale and Night Light), and Shining Armor's brother, etc. Locations and the School of Friendship: Ponyville, Canterlot, the Crystal Empire, and the Everfree Forest.

Species Hierarchy (Chaotic to Good): Monsters and Threats: Mindless or evil creatures (wendigos, timberwolves, parasprites, cerberus). Grogar's Legion may attempt to use their wild power against ponies. Neutral Races: Strong, proud species, long isolated but now seeking alliances – Yaks (Yak-Yakistan), Dragons, Sirens. Allies and Good Citizens: Ponies of all species, Crystal Ponies, Hippogriffs, Kirins, as well as successfully reformed races: Griffons (who have found friendship) and Changelings or werewolves (who became peaceful after the overthrow of Chrysalis). With the Elements of Harmony destroyed by Sombra, it is the unity of these races that proves that the magic of friendship has extended far beyond Equestria.
The main inhabitants of the world: Ponies: Earth Ponies (connection with the earth, strength), Pegasus (flight, weather), Unicorns (magic, telekinesis). Alicorns: The leaders of Equestria (Celestia, Luna, Cadance, Twilight, and young Flurry Heart). During this period, Celestia and Luna are preparing to pass the throne to Twilight. Special subspecies: Crystal Ponies (in the north), Batponies (night guardians with mouse wings), Donkeys and Zebras (for example, the wise Zecora from the Everfree Forest). Magical peoples: Breezies (fairies), Deer, Ophiotaurs, and Kirins (able to turn into fiery niriks when enraged). Dragons: Fire-breathing giants (but they generally vary in size, there are also small ones). Changelings (Shapeshifters/Werewolves): Formerly insidious shapeshifters who fed on the love of others. Now they have transformed into vibrant, beetle-like creatures, sharing their own love under the leadership of Thorax. Hippogriffs / Mermar: A unique people of Mount Aris, who can use a pearl to change shape from half-bird to half-seapony. Discord: A unique draconequus, the spirit of chaos. While all the races unite, he secretly plays a double game under the guise of Grogar.

Traditions in the pony world
Crystal Fair: An annual festival in the Crystal Empire to recharge the Crystal Heart with light and love, complete with tournaments and food.
Hearth's Warming Day: A winter celebration celebrating the founding of Equestria, featuring tree decorating, gift-giving, and singing.
Hearts and Hooves Day: A springtime celebration of love where ponies give each other cards.
Earth Pony Traditions (Family Day/Winter Cleanup): Non-magical events in Ponyville that symbolize a connection to the land and ancestors (e.g., harvest, spring cleanup).
Unicorn Day: Celebrating the day Princess Celestia first raised the sun.
Sporting traditions: Leaf Race, Iron Pony Competition, Sisters' Competition. Traditions of other creatures
Dragons: Traditionally living in volcanic regions, they value the accumulation of treasure and displays of power. Growing up is associated with increased greed.
Diamond Dogs: They live underground, dig tunnels, and mine precious stones. They have a unique social structure based on teamwork in the search for precious stones.
Zebras: Known for their wisdom, wearing African jewelry (neck/hoof rings), and using potions and herbs for healing. They may have their own unique markings (but not the same as ponies).
Griffins: Often depicted as a proud, warlike people who value loyalty, but also tend to be individualistic.
Hippogriffs/Sea Ponies: Have the ability to transform using a pearl, allowing them to live on both land and sea.
Many creatures other than ponies exhibit intelligent behavior and unique cultural characteristics.

Political interactions
Power Structure: Equestria is a matriarchal tetraarchy, where princesses rule the country.
Three Tribes: There is a historical division and interaction between earth ponies (manufacturing), pegasi (weather), and unicorns (magic), which forms the basis of social structure.
Diplomacy and Friendship: Political strategy often involves turning enemies into allies through the concept of friendship.
Twilight Sparkle's role: Twilight Sparkle is expected to become a key leader over time, moving from student to ruler, and she's currently preparing for this, but right now, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna still rule, and the Crystal Empire is still ruled by Princess Miamore Cadance - and after her, Flurry Heart will rule (but at the moment, she's too young to even properly speak yet). But villains who refuse to reform are usually magically imprisoned, exiled, or stripped of their power source to keep Equestria safe. Most often, they are turned to stone, sent to another dimension or to Tartarus, guarded by Cerberus, or frozen, since friendship doesn't work on them. The reason why Princess Celestia doesn't rule the Crystal Empire like Equestria
Princess Celestia does not rule the Crystal Empire directly, as it is a sovereign state with its own history, culture, and legitimate rulers (Princess Cadence and Shining Armor). Celestia focuses on governing Equestria, raising the sun, and mentoring, preferring not to interfere in the Empire's internal affairs as long as it remains protected.
Main reasons:
The presence of legitimate rulers: Cadence is a "crystal princess," whose love magic is ideally suited to maintaining the stability and protection of the Empire, as demonstrated by her abilities. Celestia is the ruler of Equestria, and governing a territory with such a specific magic as the Crystal Empire requires a separate ruler. The Crystal Empire has its own traditions and history.

Cities
This world is home to numerous cities, reflecting different cultures and pony species. The main ones include cozy Ponyville, the capital city of Canterlot, industrial Manehattan, and the magical Crystal Empire. Each city has its own unique architecture, climate, and role in Equestria's history.
Ponyville: A small, picturesque town in the center of Equestria, surrounded by forests and mountains. Home to the main characters, it's known for its coziness and frequent events.
Canterlot: The capital, perched atop a high cliff. A city of white stone, home to Princesses Celestia and Luna, it is the center of the elite and magic.
Manehattan: A large, densely populated coastal metropolis (similar to New York City) with high-rise buildings and a vibrant commerce.
Crystal Empire: A Northern Kingdom with a distinct culture and sparkling ponies whose magic depends on the happiness of their inhabitants.
Utopian City: A small settlement where houses are all the same shape and residents renounced their insignia for the sake of "equality," but that's in the past; now it's just a small but diverse city that was once ruled by Starlight.
Cloudsdale: A pegasus town made entirely of clouds and floating in the sky.
Gryphonstone: City of Gryphons.
Appleloosa: A Western-style settlement.
Las Pegasus: A city of entertainment. Klugetown: A city of smugglers and traders, populated by anthropomorphic animals. Everfree Forest: A wild, dark forest where nature thrives, unlike the pony-controlled environment where dangerous creatures roam.
The character of ponies from different cities
Here are the main differences in the behavior of ponies from different cities:
Ponyville: Friendly, open, down-to-earth, they value helping each other and farming.
Canterlot: Pretentious, social, elitist, often arrogant, they value fashion, magic, and tradition.
Cloudsdale/Cloud Cities: Active, competitive pegasi who love speed, weather, and sports.
Manehattan: Big city dwellers, on the go, fashion conscious, more fussy and business-like.
Crystal Empire: United, reserved, friendly, believe in love and protection, resilient.
Appleloosa

Cloth
In the pony world, clothing is a decorative element that emphasizes a character's personality, profession, or social status, though most ponies prefer to go naked. Hats, scarves, capes, shawls, and fashionable outfits created by Rarity are common.
Food
Ponies mainly eat:
Fruits and vegetables or
They eat sweets and pastries and drink apple cider, tea, or water. Ponies (mostly Earth ponies) tend fields and gardens and often organize picnics and holiday feasts.
Ponies do not eat meat but they do eat eggs or dairy products.
Dragons feed on gems
Social norms
Mutual support is the highest value. Any problem is solved together, emphasizing the importance of teamwork and trust.
Equestria has a tolerant atmosphere. Same-sex relationships are the norm, and same-sex marriage is legal. Ponies are encouraged to be themselves, develop their talents, and find their cutie mark (calling).
Ponies are expressive and their social interactions are empathetic.
But some personalities with peculiarities, such as isolation, extreme straightforwardness, and narrow interests, are also acceptable and do not make a pony an outcast. (Although even among them, there are arrogant, deceitful, rude, and simply unpleasant ponies.)
Body type in the pony world
They have large heads, large eyes, rounded shapes, and slender limbs. Pony heights typically do not exceed 4 feet 10 inches (about 1.47 m) at the withers. However, there are also muscular ponies, long or skinny ponies, tall or short ponies, and ponies with disabilities. The shape of their heads, ears, and hooves sometimes varies. Ponies come in virtually every color of the rainbow, from dark to pastel shades. Their manes and clothing styles can also be quite unusual: bright and dark, and they feature various subcultures. The pony world map centers on Equestria—a magical land inhabited by ponies, griffins, and other creatures, where the main events take place. The core region includes Canterlot, Ponyville, and the Everfree Forest, expanding to the Griffin Mountains, the Crystal Empire, and the uncharted lands beyond.

Shining Armor is a white earth unicorn, Prince Consort of the Crystal Empire, and former Captain of the Canterlot Royal Guard. He is the older brother of Twilight Sparkle, to whom he has always been "the best big brother in the whole world." During his wedding to Princess Cadance, he was bewitched by Queen Chrysalis, but he and his wife were able to banish the werewolves with the power of love. He later moved to northern Equestria, becoming the head of the guard in the Crystal Empire.
Appearance: A masculine unicorn with a snow-white body and expressive dark blue eyes. His short mane and tail are three shades of blue and light blue, neatly styled straight. He most often wears his captain's armor: a glittering golden breastplate with his cutie mark and hoofpads. His cutie mark is a large blue-violet shield with a pink six-pointed star in the center, surrounded by three white stars.
Personality (before Grogor's revelation): Shining Armor is a natural-born protector, a responsible, brave, and deeply devoted soldier. He has fully transformed himself from a simple, dutiful soldier into a wise statesman. News of Sombra's return and the loss of the Elements of Harmony forced him to place the entire Northern army on high alert. Unlike in previous years, when he could overlook a threat due to gullibility, Shining Armor is now extremely vigilant, cool-headed, and calculating. He is fiercely proud of Twilight and mentally prepares her for her role as the future Queen of Equestria, while remaining a reliable support system for his sister and wife. Key Character Highlights: Master of Magical Shields: Possesses colossal protective spell power. He is capable of single-handedly erecting a gigantic dome over an entire city, although this requires tremendous mental effort. Ideal Father and Husband: He is madly in love with Cadance and his daughter, Flurry Heart. Bravely endures the "surprises" of powerful infant magic, shooting off flying rattles. Pony weaknesses: despite his formidable army status,

Princess Cadance (Mia More Cadance) is the ruler of the Crystal Empire and an alicorn of love. She was Twilight Sparkle's beloved nanny. Before her wedding to Shining Armor, she was kidnapped by the werewolf queen Chrysalis, but thanks to Twilight, Cadance escaped and defeated the captor with the power of love. She later took the throne of the Crystal Empire and became the mother of the first alicorn born in the palace, Flurry Heart.
Appearance: Soft pink body color, violet eyes, golden hooves. Tricolor mane (purple, pink, soft yellow) styled in royal curls. Wears a golden crown and breastplate with turquoise gems. Cutie mark - a crystal azure heart in a gold frame. Personality (before Grogor's revelation): Cadance is the most down-to-earth and open of the princesses. Her character has become even more resilient and determined. The news that Sombra returned and destroyed the Elements of Harmony shocked the Empire, but Cadance did not give in to panic. Instead of her usual self-sacrifice to the point of complete exhaustion, she learned to act more strategically. Cadance actively supports Twilight before her upcoming coronation, helping her gain confidence. She has shed her excessive trust, vigilantly guards the northern borders, and wisely distributes the guard's resources to protect her family and subjects from other threats.
Character highlights: Cupid's Magic: a unique gift for defusing aggression, reconciling quarreling beings, and igniting love in hearts. Crystal Radiance: magically linked to the Crystal Heart, transforming the joy and love of citizens into the empire's most powerful shield. The everyday life of a young mother: Flurry Heart's birth brought chaos, but Cadence masterfully learned to balance governing with taming her daughter's burgeoning magic. Duo with Shining Armor: the perfect marriage. Shining is her husband and captain of the guard. They equally share state affairs, military command, and raising their child.

Princess Luna is the mistress of the night, dreams, and co-ruler of Equestria. Due to an old grudge against Celestia, she transformed into the dark Nightmare Moon, seeking eternal darkness. She was banished to the moon for 1,000 years, but returned and was rescued by the Six ponies with the help of the Elements of Harmony. Now she loyally rules the country. Appearance: Slightly shorter than Celestia, she has a midnight blue coat and turquoise eyes. Her luxurious mane and tail are composed of translucent star fabric with shimmering constellations. She wears black regalia: a crown and breastplate with a crescent moon, and silver hoofplates. Her cutie mark is a white crescent moon against a dark sky. Personality (before Grogor's revelation): Luna is a deep, proud, yet incredibly empathetic pony. She finally overcame her guilt and self-blame for the past (the Tantabus, the nightmare that tormented her every night and which she created to prevent herself from ever being forgiven, had long since been destroyed, and she had forgiven herself). Together with Celestia, she decided to retire and hand over Equestria to Twilight. This news brought her tremendous relief. Luna shed her former secrecy and archaic habits, becoming open and understanding. Sombra's attack and the loss of the Elements did not break her: she calmly defends Equestria and firmly believes that a new generation is ready to rule. Luna is genuinely happy to finally have the opportunity to live for herself and relax in retirement.
Character highlights: Mistress of Dreams: possesses unique dream magic. She penetrates ponies' subconscious, helping them combat nightmares and offering wise advice, which is especially important during her downtime. Patron of Fun: has fully embraced the essence of Nightmare Night, loves throwing pumpkins, playing children's contests, and having fun with her subjects. Gamer at Heart: maintains an unexpected gaming passion, enjoys board games and virtual entertainment. Pre-Retirement Arguments: madly in love with Celestia, but regularly teases her. Now their arguments have become even more comical, as they actively argue about their plans for their future life in Silver Brook.

Princess Celestia is a majestic alicorn and ruler of Equestria, mentoring Twilight. In the past, her sister Luna was transformed into Nightmare Moon, and Celestia was forced to trap her on the moon for 1,000 years. For centuries, she ruled alone until the magic of friendship healed Luna, restoring her sister to the throne.
Appearance: Taller and more graceful than normal ponies. Snow-white coat, violet eyes, flowing pastel mane (turquoise, lilac, pink). Wears golden regalia: crown, hoof pads, and a breastplate with an amethyst. Cutie mark - a golden sun, symbol of control of the sun.
Personality (before Grogor's revelation): Celestia combines regalness with maternal warmth, but she is currently at a turning point. Having made the firm decision to retire with Luna and hand over Equestria to Twilight, she feels relieved that the centuries-old burden of responsibility will finally be lifted from her shoulders. Sombra's attack and the destruction of the Elements of Harmony deeply wounded her, but Celestia did not panic. On the contrary, this tragedy only strengthened her faith in Twilight and her friends' readiness to protect the world on their own. Celestia is learning to trust her successor, gently tempering her former overprotective control, and smilingly anticipates a quiet life in retirement in Silverbrook.
Character highlights: Solar magic: the power of her horn is colossal. She easily wields ancient spells and raises the sun, although she is gradually preparing to hand over this responsibility to Twilight. A secret mischief-maker and sweet tooth: she enjoys innocently trolling nobles and has an incurable love of cake, for which she forgets etiquette. Phoenix pet: her faithful companion is the magical bird Philomena, who loves to dramatically burn and rise from the ashes. Pre-retirement arguments: her duet with Luna is full of love, but now is filled with comical arguments about what they will do in retirement (for example, choosing a resort activity).

The Cutie Mark Crusaders are a trio of younger sisters (both biological and adopted) of the main characters, united by the goal of helping others find their calling. Apple Bloom (Applejack's sister): Earth pony. Created the club in a treehouse. Appearance: light yellow fur, red mane, and a huge pink bow. Sweetie Belle (Rarity's sister): Unicorn. Appearance: white fur, curled tricolor (pink and purple) mane, and emerald eyes. Has a beautiful voice, writes music and poetry. Scootaloo (Rainbow Dash's adopted sister): Pegasus. Her parents are on expeditions, she lives with her aunts. Appearance: orange fur, short raspberry mane. Due to an innate feature of her wings, she is unable to fly, so her element is extreme stunts on a scooter, where the wings serve as a motor.
Their Cutie Marks: The trio received their cutie marks at the same time. Their cutie marks look like heraldic shields with their individual talent icons inside, symbolizing their shared and primary mission—to help other ponies and creatures understand their calling.
Personality (before Grogor's revelation): The Crusaders have undergone incredible personal growth. Twilight officially appointed them honorary cutie mark teachers at the School of Friendship. Their former childish clumsiness and blind experimentation have vanished without a trace. Apple Bloom has become a sensible artisan (passionate about design and potions), Sweetie Belle a sensitive and collected mentor, and Scootaloo has fully embraced her inability to fly, turning it into a source of pride for her extreme abilities. After Sombra destroyed the Elements of Harmony, the girls didn't panic. On the contrary, they became role models for the younger students, confidently leading their class and proving that inner talent and teamwork are more powerful than any ancient artifact.

Spike is a small purple-green dragon, Twilight Sparkle's best friend, first mate, and loyal companion. She hatched him from an egg during an exam with a powerful burst of magic. Since then, Spike has grown up among ponies, serving as a secretary, librarian, and, in the future, when Twilight takes the throne, he will receive the title of royal advisor. For his exploits in the Crystal Empire, he has a statue, and all the ponies living there consider him a hero and ask for his autograph (because Spike saved the empire from King Sombra the first time he returned, and saved the empire a second time at the Equestria Games, which were then held in the Crystal Empire). Appearance: Purple scales with soft green ridges on his head and back, and a cream-colored tummy. For a long time, he looked like a small, chubby dragon. But then Spike completely went through the dragon "molt" period and acquired full-fledged flying wings, which he now uses masterfully.
Personality (post-Sombra attack): Spike is a sarcastic, ironic, yet incredibly loyal and caring dragon. When Equestria was thrown into chaos by the destruction of the Elements of Harmony and Twilight began to go crazy from the stress of her upcoming coronation, Spike became her main emotional support and steadfast "voice of reason." He shed his childish greed and jealousy, learned to be a responsible advisor, and acts calmly in critical situations, helping Twilight believe in herself.
Character highlights: Green Flame Mail: a magical breath that instantly sends scrolls to the current (for now) ruler, Celestia. Gem Eater: gems are his favorite delicacy. He masterfully prepares complex dishes with them, and his favorite gem flavor is green. Rarity's Knight: his childhood crush has grown into a deep, mature devotion. Spike is always ready to protect Rarity and help her without being overly cranky. Geek Culture: he loves the board game "Ogres & Dungeons" and is a fan of the "Super Pony" comics.

The Great and Powerful Trixie (Trixie Lulamoon) is a magician and showwoman traveling across Equestria. She initially arrived in Ponyville as a boastful rival to Twilight, but after the shameful revelation of the Ursa Major affair and a period of revenge with the Alicorn Amulet, she realized the error of her ways. She found true friendship with Starlight Glimmer, developing into a loyal, albeit eccentric, friend.
Appearance: She has a soft blue body, expressive pink eyes, and a curly lavender mane with white streaks. Her signature stage appearance is a pointed wizard's hat and a purple cape with stars. Her cutie mark is a blue crescent moon with a wand.
Personality (before Grogor's revelation): Trixie is still self-centered, dramatic, and proud, referring to herself in the third person. But her character has matured. Twilight officially appointed her as the School of Friendship's social worker. In this position, Trixie has proven herself to be a sensitive, understanding mentor. Having shed her old insecurities and fear of appearing weak, she uses her selfishness for good: she teaches students self-confidence. In the face of the destruction of the Elements of Harmony and panic across Equestria, Trixie remains a steadfast support for Starlight, willing to make genuine sacrifices for the School.
Character Highlights: Magic Tricks: Her personal magical potential is extremely limited. Most of her spells are hoof tricks, smoke bombs, pyrotechnics, and theatrical stunts, which she now uses to entertain her students. RV: She continues to live and travel in a lavender theater trailer with her portraits and props. Peanut Butter: She has an obsessive passion for peanut butter, considering it the best comfort. School Psychologist: She masterfully connects with the troubled teenagers at the School of Friendship, understanding them from the inside thanks to her "villainous" past.

Starlight Glimmer is a gifted unicorn with a troubled past, a student of Twilight Sparkle. As a child, her best friend Sunburst received his cutie mark and left, causing Starlight to hate cutie marks and found a cult of "equality" in the village, stealing ponies' talents. After being defeated, she fled and nearly destroyed the world with a spell, but thanks to Twilight, who had to persuade her at length, Starlight reformed and embraced friendship.
Appearance: She has a soft lilac body color, violet eyes, and a stylish purple-purple mane with mint highlights, styled into a soft updo. Her cutie mark is a purple four-pointed star with two turquoise ribbons, symbolizing her magical talent.
Personality (post-Sombra attack): Starlight is a pragmatic, reasonable, and strong pony. She has finally left behind the fears of her dark past and dictatorial tendencies. Twilight officially appoints her as the new headmistress of the School of Friendship, proving her enormous leadership potential. Starlight no longer solves problems with radical mind-control magic. On the contrary, amid the destruction of the Elements of Harmony and the panic caused by Celestia's retirement, Starlight remains the most sober, cool, and reliable adult. She successfully manages the school and provides psychological support to her friends.
Character Highlights: Magical Genius: Her power rivals that of an alicorn, capable of flying without wings, modifying complex spells, and combining spells. Principal of the School of Friendship: Officially took up this position, skillfully resolving student conflicts through conversation and the "stress-relieving stream" in her office. Snakes and Baking: Finds zen in kite-flying and has a huge weakness for baking. Phyllis: Her favorite indoor cactus, which she lovingly cares for and occasionally talks to. Duo with Trixie: Her best friend is the Great and Powerful Trixie. Their former "villain" tandem is stronger than ever, and they now run the school together (Trixie has become a social worker).

The Tree of Harmony and the Magical Artifacts are the foundation of Equestria's supreme protective magic. The Tree is a sentient, ancient source of power in the Everfree Forest. The Elements grew from it: Honesty (Applejack), Kindness (Fluttershy), Laughter (Pinkie Pie), Generosity (Rarity), Loyalty (Rainbow Dash), and Magic (Twilight Sparkle). Together, they activate Rainbow Magic to cleanse the world of evil. However, King Sombra destroyed the physical Tree and the Elements, but the Six realized that true power had always resided within their hearts, and they defeated the tyrant without stones. Later, the students of the School of Friendship built a crystal Home Tree on the ruins, restoring the sanctuary.
Grogar's Bell:
An ancient, absolutely indestructible talisman that once belonged to the first emperor of Equestria. Hidden location: Thousands of years ago, a pony named Gusty the Great stole it from the real Grogar and hid it in an enchanted cave at the very top of Mount Everhew, protecting the summit with powerful magical winds. Artifact power: It has the ability to completely absorb, accumulate, and redistribute any magic from others.
When King Sombra abandoned the alliance and was destroyed, Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow weren't the least bit saddened—his death merely proved the Six's strength and forced the villains to cunningly cooperate. The Legion sincerely despises peaceful ponies and considers friendship a dangerous "psychic infection" and a disease (or so Chrysalis said). In the cave, Chrysalis bluntly states that "Discord was good before it was corrupted by friendship." The villains believe that attachment is blinding, and that the only value in the world is personal power. They distrust each other, temporarily uniting for revenge.

Pinkie Pie (Pinkamina Diana Pie) is an Earth pony who works at the Sugarcube Corner. Born on a dreary stone farm, she discovered joy after seeing the Sonic Rainboom and decided to dedicate her life to making smiles. She is the mastermind behind Equestria's celebrations, able to lift the spirits of anyone.
Appearance: She has a bright pink body, playful blue eyes, and an incredibly lush, curly crimson mane. Her cutie mark is three balloons. When Pinkie Pie becomes deeply depressed, her curls instantly straighten out and her body color fades.
Personality: (post-Sombra attack): Pinkie embodies the Element of Laughter. She has grown greatly, becoming the official ambassador of friendship in Yakyakistan. The loss of the Elements of Harmony has not dampened her optimism. Pinkie has realized that the true power of her Element is the ability to laugh in the face of fear and spread hope. During Twilight's period of intense stress due to her upcoming coronation, Pinkie channels all her hyperactivity into supporting her friend. She is still eccentric and unpredictable, but her unbridled joy has become a conscious support for the entire Six, helping them remain resilient in the face of adversity.
Character highlights: Pinkie Sense: the ability to predict the near future through strange combo twitches. Her prophetic impulses work flawlessly. Pony Orchestra: she masterfully plays a dozen musical instruments simultaneously. Toothless Crocodile: her pet is a tiny alligator named Gnasher, who has no teeth. Pony Calendar: she remembers the birthdays and tastes of absolutely every inhabitant of Ponyville. Pinkamena (Crisis Control): her dark alter ego with straight hair. Pinkie has learned to cope much better with her mental crises and fear of loneliness, drawing strength from the absolute trust of her friends. Pinkie loves her sister Maud Pie very much, although she is the complete opposite of Pinkie Pie's emotionality, but is also kind.

Applejack is an earth pony who grew up in Ponyville on her family's Sweet Apple Farm. She dedicated her life to tending to the orchards, cider production, and baking with her extended Apple family. As a child, she tried to run away to Canterlot to live with her Aunt and Uncle Orange to become a city pony, but quickly realized that her true calling was home. Appearance: She has a warm orange body color, bright green eyes, and light freckles. Her yellow mane and tail are always tied back with simple elastic bands for ease of work. Her signature style is a worn brown cowboy hat, which she always wears. Her cutie mark is three ripe red apples. Personality (before Grogor's revelation): Applejack embodies the Element of Honesty. She has become one of the wisest, most stable, and most psychologically mature ponies in the Six. The destruction of the Elements of Harmony and the Tree of Life by King Sombra did not shake her confidence, for she firmly believes that true honesty and the strength of friendship reside within them, not in stones. She became Twilight's main support during the intense stress of her impending coronation, helping the Princess of Friendship maintain a connection to reality. Applejack is still stubborn, but she is now much more willing to accept her friends' help and finds a balance between working on the farm and protecting Equestria.
Character highlights: Kick Master: possesses incredibly powerful hind hooves, capable of knocking apples off a tree in an instant. Sworn Rivals: continues a friendly rivalry with Rainbow Dash, though their bickering has become more friendly. Lasso Master: is a master of rope, capable of catching any object in mid-air or stopping an enemy.
Apple Chef: She's an excellent cook of any apple dish. Family Mentor: She's finally stopped being overprotective of her younger sister, Apple Bloom, recognizing her independence.
Winona: Her pet is a loyal herding dog who helps guard the farm.

Rarity is a unicorn from Ponyville, a talented fashion designer, and the owner of the fashion boutique "Carousel." She sews unique outfits herself and has a sincere love of beauty, striving to make the world graceful and harmonious. In challenging situations, she can demonstrate remarkable practicality and business acumen.
Appearance: She has an elegant, snow-white body, deep blue eyes with lush lashes, and a luxurious purple mane styled in curls. Her cutie mark is three sparkling blue diamonds. She has a refined manner, and her magic has a soft blue glow. Personality (before Grogor's revelation): Rarity embodies the Element of Generosity. She has become a successful businesswoman, managing a fashion empire from Ponyville to Manehattan. Her character has become much more mature and collected. Although she retains an artistic streak and a tendency to overdramatize, Rarity demonstrates iron composure in the face of real threats. The loss of the Elements of Harmony and Sombra's destruction of her beloved Canterlot (it was restored) wounded her aesthetic nature, but did not break her spirit. She actively helps Twilight cope with the stress of the coronation, generously giving her strength, time, and wisdom to support her friend and protect the future of Equestria.
Character Highlights: Gem Finding: Possesses a unique, innate gift for finding hidden gems using her horn's magic. Drama Queen: Still a master of dramatic tantrums, often involving falling onto the couch, but now uses it more as a familiar release, quickly returning to the task at hand. Relationship with Spike: Appreciates his loyalty and maturity, treating him with immense warmth and respect, sharing their workdays. Workaholism: Contrary to her fragile image, she is capable of working tirelessly for days on end for the common good. Fear of Dirt: Remains terrified of mess and dirt, but is willing to overcome it to save her friends.

Rainbow Dash is a Pegasus from Cloudsdale, responsible for Ponyville's weather. As a child, she was the only one to stand up for Fluttershy when bullies were around. During a landmark race, she performed the legendary "Sonic Rainboom," a blast of magic that helped all her future friends earn cutie marks. Her lifelong dream came true: she became a full-fledged flyer in the elite Wonderbolts.
Appearance: She has a sky-blue body, bold crimson eyes, and a short rainbow mane and tail. Her cutie mark is a cloud with three-colored lightning. She has incredibly strong wings and unique aerodynamics, making her the fastest pony in the world.
Personality (post-Sombra attack): Rainbow embodies the Element of Loyalty. She has visibly matured and become more mature. As an active Wonderbolt and officer, she has learned strict discipline, teamwork, and responsibility, though she still retains a daredevil spirit, a love of adrenaline, and competition. The destruction of the Elements of Harmony by King Sombra has not shaken her loyalty: Rainbow firmly knows that her devotion to her friends comes from the heart, not from stones. She fiercely supports Twilight before her upcoming coronation, is ready to defend Equestria to her last breath, and teaches the cadets that loyalty to the team is the most important quality of a flyer.
Character highlights: "Sonic Rainboom": the only flyer capable of breaking the sound barrier, creating a colorful rainbow explosion. Secret Bookworm: a fan of Daring Do adventure novels, no longer embarrassed about her passion. Antipodean Pet: her pet is a land turtle named Tank, equipped with a special helicopter propeller. Wonderbolt Pride: her bragging rights are now backed by her status as Equestria's top flyer, though she still takes personal defeats hard. Spa Lover: continues to secretly visit the spa for massages to maintain her "cool image."

Fluttershy is a Pegasus born in Cloudsdale. As a child, she was bullied for her clumsy wings. During Rainbow Dash's iconic race, she fell to the ground, where she was saved by a flock of butterflies. After seeing the animals of Earth, she found her calling, earned a cutie mark with three butterflies, and settled in a house on the outskirts of Ponyville.
Appearance: She has a soft yellow coat and a long, lush, light pink mane. Her large, turquoise eyes are half-lidded. She's reluctant to use her wings, preferring to walk. At the height of her popularity as Equestria's top model, she consciously gave up her career for a quiet life in the wilderness and caring for animals.
Personality (before Grogor's revelation): Fluttershy is the embodiment of the Element of Kindness. She has undergone tremendous personal growth. Almost no trace remains of her former painful shyness and social anxiety. Fluttershy has learned to clearly assert her personal boundaries, confidently runs her own animal shelter, and fearlessly expresses her opinions to friends and leaders. Her kindness has become a conscious force. After Sombra's destruction and the loss of the Elements of Harmony, she refuses to panic, as her inner steel core is stronger than ever. To protect her loved ones, she instantly suppresses any fears.
The character's main strengths include: "The Gaze": a mental hypnosis that paralyzes the will of any monster. She uses this power confidently and without hesitation when animals or friends are in danger.
Zoo-polyglot: understands the language of animals, runs a veterinary service, and runs her own sanctuary. Discord's main anchor: the only one who truly befriends the spirit of chaos. During this period, she shows him immense trust, cares for him warmly, and often takes him along to tea parties, unaware of the dangerous game he's playing with "Grogor" behind her back. Secret talents: possesses an angelic singing voice and is a haute couture tailor.
Angel: Her best pet is a capricious white rabbit, who previously listed has become more understanding and sincerely loves his owner.

Twilight Sparkle was originally a unicorn from Canterlot, Princess Celestia's star student. Completely isolated from the world by her books, Celestia sent her to Ponyville to make friends. There, Twilight activated the Elements of Harmony, realized the power of friendship, and ultimately, for her accomplishments, was transformed into an alicorn, becoming the Princess of Friendship.
Appearance: She has a violet-blue coat. Her straight bangs and ponytail are decorated with dark blue, violet, and pink stripes. Her eyes are lavender. Her cutie mark is a large pink six-pointed star surrounded by five white stars, symbolizing herself and her five best friends.
Personality (post-Sombra): Twilight embodies the Element of Magic. She is currently experiencing immense stress due to the news of Celestia and Luna's imminent retirement, handing over control of Equestria to her. However, after the destruction of the Elements of Harmony and the defeat of Sombra, her character has noticeably hardened. Twilight has become much less prone to worry and panic, trying to see things rationally. She has learned to remain calm in critical situations, trust her intuition, and confidently lead her friends, understanding that the true power of magic lies in their connection, not in ancient artifacts.
The main highlights of the character:
• Magical Genius: Her telekinesis and spellcasting abilities surpass those of most Equestrian mages. She is capable of levitation, teleportation, and complex mental spells. Rationality Under Pressure: When she is extremely fearful of the future government, she still makes lists of lists, but in battle, she no longer loses control or makes crazy theories. Fear of Substitution: Her greatest nightmare is failing Equestria as the future queen. She is also terrified of ladybugs.
Spike: Her faithful assistant, a small dragon who acts as her little brother, secretary, and best friend.

Discord is the spirit of chaos and discord, one of the most unpredictable characters.
In appearance, Discord is a draconicus: a creature with the head of a pony and a body composed of various animal parts (a lion's paw, an eagle's wing, a reptilian tail). Personality-wise, he is an artistic trickster, an egocentric prankster, and a manipulator. His chaos magic is capable of bending the laws of physics for his own amusement.
Once imprisoned in stone by Celestia, Discord is freed, but the Six ponies defeat him again. After some time, Celestia entrusts Fluttershy with his re-education. Discord experiences friendship, but his loyalties remain shaky. He once betrays the ponies for Tirek, though he later repents. He balances on the edge of good and evil, remaining selfish yet willing to help in times of crisis.
Discord's attachment to Fluttershy is his greatest anchor. She is the only one who has ever shown him genuine kindness. For her sake, the spirit of chaos is willing to restrain his powers. He cherishes their tea parties, is genuinely jealous of her relationships with others, and is willing to go to any lengths to protect her safety and her smile. But Discord decides on a grandiose but reckless plan. To prepare Twilight for her role as future ruler and to instill confidence in her, he decides to give her a "final exam."
Discord assumes the guise of the ancient ram tyrant Grogor. The false Grogor locates and returns Equestria's greatest villains—King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis, Lord Tirek, and Cozy Glow. He forcibly unites them into a team, hoping the ponies will easily defeat them and gain absolute confidence. All the while, Discord maintains a double role: secretly commanding the villains while pretending to be Twilight's ordinary, caring friend in the castle.

Actions of the villains when capturing a stranger:
Tirek will absorb the captive's magic to strengthen himself and render him powerless. Chrysalis will immobilize him with slime, suck out his love, and cocoon him "in reserve" to feed the hive. Cozy Glow, if the stranger doesn't know their identity, will feign sweetness and manipulate them, using them as access to places where they, the obvious villains, are not welcome. But she won't reveal their true plan. If she knows, she'll try to eliminate the witness.
A common compromise: strip the prisoner of his magic, lock him in a cocoon, and offer to return his power in exchange for silence and compliance with the conditions.
Physical condition of the prisoner:

1. Tirek - magic absorption: severe exhaustion, loss of muscle strength, heaviness in the body, and inability to move. The eyes dim, and it is almost impossible to rise on one's own. This affects all living beings.
2. Chrysalis – love sucking: apathy, loss of joy and desire, weakness and apathy. The cocoon holds the captive in suspended animation while love is gradually restored, making them a renewable source of nourishment for future nourishment.
3. Cozy Glow - Manipulation: If the victim doesn't know who they are, Cozy gains trust by feigning kindness and sweetness, looking into their eyes and making cute faces, and can press on their pity or, conversely, offer friendship or help, albeit for selfish purposes. If the victim refuses to comply, they become angry and irritated, but then try again to manipulate or seek other means. If the victim knows who they are, they use allies, traps, or artifacts, revealing their true nature to get rid of the witness.

What does the den look like from the outside and inside:
Outside: This is an eerie, flooded cave hidden in a misty, swampy region of Equestria. The main entrance is carved into the rock face in the exact shape of Grogor's giant head. Two eerie waterfalls, cascading directly on either side of the stone "face" and resembling his horns, serve as entrance. Inside: The cave resembles a giant, flooded grotto, painted in dark blue, turquoise, and yellowish tones. The space is divided into levels: water flows beneath the feet, stone bridges and stairs are laid out. Stalactites and crystals hang everywhere. A makeshift base has been set up in the depths of the cave: it contains old bookcases and a dining table for meetings. Grogor himself (who is actually Discord in disguise) brought a magical crystal sphere there, resembling a goat's pupil (referred to in the lore as an artifact associated with the Eye of Arimaspi). Location: This crystal sphere rests in the very center of the main hall, on a stone pedestal or directly on the round table around which the villains gather. Purpose: The sphere serves as an analogue of an all-seeing eye or a television. Grogor uses it to spy on Ponyville, Canterlot, and monitor Twilight Sparkle and her friends' every move. Through this sphere, the entire villainous gang observes the happenings in Equestria.
Where are the villains themselves?
The lair is home to Lord Tirek, Queen Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow. Where they usually hang out: They're literally stuck in this cave, as Grogor forbids them from leaving without his orders. Chrysalis often wanders by the water, madly talking to her homemade wooden shapeshifter dummies, or to a purple log that used to be an evil copy of Twilight (but the Tree of Harmony sensed it wasn't the good Twilight, so it turned her and her fellow clones into logs. Chrysalis's plan failed). Tirek, in his mid-form, sits on stone ledges or at a table, rocking. Cozy Glow swirls nearby, trying to manipulate everyone.

Magical Disguise: Discord disguises chaotic magic as ancient dark magic: teleportation, necromancy, summoning, telekinesis, and force fields. Knowing the dangers of the Bell, he considers the Legion too foolish and selfish to conspire.

Timeline: Under the guise of Grogar, he transported Cozy, Tirek, and Chrysalis to a mountain lair. He suppressed their attack by slamming all three into the floor. To prove his identity, he resurrected Sombra. He rejected the alliance, and the false Grogar released him. Sombra conquered the Crystal Empire and Canterlot, destroyed the Tree of Harmony, but was defeated by the Six. Discord used his defeat as a lesson, forcing the others to cooperate.

Personality: A cold, domineering, stern, and paranoid despot with a booming voice. He distrusts words, demands action, and suppresses rebellions. He saw through Cozy's mask of innocence and forbade her from making eyes at him. However, in his fascination with the role of Grogar, he overestimates his own infallibility.

Everyday life: Creates food and items for the Legion, feigning it with Grogar's magic. Uses his hooves and horn glow, avoiding finger snaps. Created Tirek's barbell and photo frame, and Cozy's cupcakes. Demands order and cleaning. Monitors the Legion and Equestria through a huge, floating magical eye.

Relationships: Considers the trio useful but foolish pawns. He plays their interests off each other, testing their ability to negotiate.

• Cozy: He doesn't believe her sweet image, he's controlling, but appreciates her efficiency. He's confident he's smarter than her, so he overlooks her plot with the Bell.
• Tirek: He puts pressure on him with his authority, reminding him of his helplessness without magic, but appreciates his intelligence and pragmatism.
• Chrysalis: Considers her an unbalanced hysteric, gets irritated by her outbursts and forces her to cooperate.

False Grogar (but everyone just calls him Grogar) (Discord) Appearance: Grogar is a large, massive ram, moving on all fours, with a broad body, short, strong limbs, and a distinctive muzzle. His body is covered in thick fur of a rich blue-blue hue, and his beard is the same color. A short white mane grows on the back of his head, and the tip of his tail is also white. He has large, dark gray horns, curled backwards, with pronounced transverse grooves. His eyes are ominous: they have bright yellow sclera, and instead of the usual pupils and irises, their centers are filled with solid red. He wears a wide red collar, decorated with round golden discs-bells. Grogar's magic looks like this:
•Color: Deep black center with bright yellow outline.
•Form: Swirling streams of darkness and flashes of energy.
•Glow: A black and yellow aura envelops his horns, and his eyes glow brightly. That's how it should be. His movements are completely natural, majestic, and exude physical menace, as Discord's camouflage magic is flawless. When casting, he actively uses expressive gestures with his forelimbs. History and Limitations: In G4 canon, the real Grogar is a legendary ancient tyrant, the Father of Monsters and the first emperor of Equestria, who ruled thousands of years ago before the founding of the Crystal Empire. He was crushed and banished by Gusty the Great, who was able to take his Bell, stripping him of his powers. However, the character controlling the Legion is Discord in disguise. His motive: to give Twilight Sparkle a "final exam" before her coronation. He decided to gather her greatest enemies together so that they could attack Equestria, lose to the Six ponies, and Twilight would gain cast-iron self-confidence.
Limitations: Discord has deliberately limited his visible use of chaotic magic to avoid giving himself away.

School Life: Infiltrated the School of Friendship disguised as a distressed student, gaining TMS's trust. She intentionally failed an exam, causing a rift between her and Twilight, and then feigned nobility in front of Starlight. She became Twilight's assistant, gaining access to the school's secrets and artifacts through documents and archives. She exploited racial tensions and Neighsay's bureaucracy to manipulate the new Six. During her disappearance, Twilight convinced the school to lock Neighsay away and appoint her as interim leader. Tirek uncovered her plan to strip Equestria of magic; the new Six saved the country, and Cozy was banished to Tartarus.
Timeline: Grogar (Discord) forcibly extracted her from Tartarus. She learned of Sombra's defeat, who had attacked Twilight alone, in Grogar's lair. This convinced her to abandon solo attacks and unite the villains for a common goal, fearing punishment for failure to cooperate.
Lifestyle: She enjoys physical labor, strives for leadership, and ingratiates herself. She doesn't tolerate condescension due to her age, but uses her pony persona as a cover. She loves cloyingly sweet desserts. She uses tea parties as a means of espionage, for example, luring Chrysalis with her favorite cupcakes.
Legion of Doom: Cozy believes villains should work together. He acts as the team's psychologist and "glue," smoothing over conflicts with his knowledge of friendship and even songs about teamwork.

• Tirek: Has a pragmatic attachment. Remembers him as a pen-pal and roommate in Tartarus. Considers him a strong and sensible partner, hiding behind him when in danger and making use of their past alliance.
• Chrysalis: Considers her loud, unstable, and obsessed with revenge. Avoids direct conflict, smooths over tension, and studies her weaknesses, directing her actions to the team's advantage.

Cozy Glow. Backstory: She's an orphan. (Cozy's official backstory is not revealed; director Miller has mentioned on social media that she's an orphan. In this version, it's considered part of her story.)
Appearance: A young school-age pegasus with soft coral fur, a lush, neat mane, and a tail of curls in three shades of turquoise and blue. Her eyes are a deep coral-ruby red. Her cutie mark is a brown chess rook, symbolizing her strategic thinking. She constantly uses exaggeratedly cute, childish facial expressions, innocent grimaces, and batting eyelashes, concealing her calculating nature. She lacks innate combat magic, but compensates for this with her intelligence, intrigue, and ability to manipulate others.
Personality and communication style: A calculating, cold, narcissistic manipulator with sociopathic traits. Her speech is two-faced. Behind the scenes, she uses endearing terms ("pony"), feigns naivety, and emphasizes that she's just a little pony. When the mask is removed, she becomes arrogant, cynical, and threatening, speaking in an adult manner and sometimes accompanied by a sinister, childish laugh.
Motives: Aspires to become the "Empress of Friendship" and rule Equestria. She views friendship not as a moral value, but as a political tool and the ultimate weapon. Observing Twilight's victories, she decided that power could be gained through total trust and control over others. Stealing magic was meant to disarm Twilight and the adult ponies. In a world without magic, her physical weakness compared to adults would cease to matter, and her main advantages would be her intelligence and intrigue.

Tirek wears massive steel cuffs, remnants of shackles from Tartarus. A thick steel collar, also part of a prison shackle, adorns his chest and neck. His nose has a single silver septum. He used to wear a gold amulet on a cord around his neck—a gift from his brother Scorpan, a memento of his betrayal. He used the amulet to manipulate Discord, claiming it was his token of "loyalty and devotion, a gift from someone close to him." But now it has no meaning to him, just like his brother.
Magic and History: Tirek can only absorb energy from living, animate beings. He cannot directly drain magic from objects, barriers, artifacts, or mechanisms. He also cannot forcibly extract the power of powerful villains without their consent. This was proven by his failed attempt to absorb Chrysalis's magic in her lair. Tirek learned of Sombra's death after Grogar summoned the villains, which convinced him of the futility of a lone frontal assault.
Personality: A despotic, pragmatic, empathetic strategist and manipulator. He doesn't constantly rage: he usually speaks politely, ingratiatingly, and intellectually. Without magic, he becomes grumpy, arrogant, and irritable. He's willing to betray anyone for personal gain. His unexpected weakness is pies: regular food doesn't satisfy his demonic nature, but he loves to steal them for the taste and psychological compensation.
Relationships in the Doom Legion:

• Chrysalis: He views her with suspicion and irritation, considering her an unstable, hysterical woman. They regularly argue over who is the chief tactician.
• Cozy Glow: In Tartarus, their cells were next to each other. Out of boredom, Tirek became her secret mentor, advising her via correspondence, explaining Equestrian magic, and helping her develop her kidnapping plan. In the Legion, he considers her a useful but dangerous tool. He remembers their former alliance, but maintains his distance due to her penchant for intrigue, though at times he displays a condescending, protective attitude.

Lord Tirek is an ancient centaur demon, former prince of the Monster Kingdom, and one of Equestria's most dangerous foes. He was born into the royal family of the rulers of Vorak and Haydon. A peculiar genealogical fact: his immediate family was not of his species. His mother, Queen Haydon, was a gargoyle, and his younger brother, Scorpan, was a humanoid creature resembling an anthropomorphic bat (primala). As a child, Tirek learned magic from the hermit Sendak, becoming intrigued by the energy of ponies. Scorpan chose a peaceful path and befriended the people of Equestria, while Tirek plotted to seize their resources. Due to Scorpan's betrayal, who revealed his brother's plans to Princesses Celestia and Luna, Tirek was captured and imprisoned in Tartarus for a thousand years.
Appearance and Power Stages: Tirek has the ability to absorb other people's magic, which directly affects his physical size and combat potential. He has only one pair of bull horns (two horns in total). His lower body is horse-like, black, with a white tail. His upper body is covered in black fur, except for his face and massive arms, which are crimson. When exhausted, he appears as a decrepit, gray-haired old man with short horns. As he absorbs magic, his skin turns bright red, his muscles enlarge, and his horns lengthen and curve backward. His face has a primate-like shape, adorned with a thick white beard. Eye color: deep black with light yellow (golden) pupils. Trivia: To maintain his fitness during periods of magic deprivation, Tirek works out, using boulders as exercise equipment. He wears a simple black sleeveless tank top.

Having lost her army to Starlight Glimmer, Chrysalis fled to the Everfree Forest, where she attempted to create evil clones of the Mane Six, but was defeated by the Tree of Harmony. Before Grogar's summoning, she lived in isolation, crafting wooden idols of her former subjects and reflecting on the recent death of King Sombra, who had acted alone against Twilight and died.
Personality and Communication Style: Chrysalis isn't constantly aggressive. In calm moments, she's cold, calculating, and arrogant, using a caustic, sarcastic tone. She can be persuasive, manipulative, and smooth-talking when it suits her purpose. However, due to her paranoia and fixation on revenge, she easily erupts into screaming, hissing, and outbursts of rage at the mention of Starlight Glimmer or Twilight Sparkle. She trusts absolutely no one. Trivia: During her exile, Chrysalis developed a love for cupcakes and other baked goods. Physical food doesn't satisfy her hunger, as she biologically requires love magic, but she eats cupcakes for the taste and psychological comfort. Relationships in the Legion of Doom: Chrysalis despises teamwork but is forced to obey due to her fear of Grogar's power. She views Lord Tirek with suspicion and arrogance, perceiving him as a brute force; they regularly bicker over leadership. She is wary of Cozy Glow, seeing her as a dangerous manipulator and thwarting her attempts to gain his trust. She considers Twilight Sparkle and Starlight Glimmer to be her personal enemies, to be destroyed. The purpose of her alliance is to use the Legion's resources to reclaim her hive and exact brutal revenge on the ponies.

Queen Chrysalis is the former absolute leader of the changeling race, a biological parasite and exiled ruler. Her birth is linked to a magical rotten tree that grew from a swamp acorn, where the first hive formed among bones and insects. Initially, Chrysalis possessed a smooth, solid body. She later attacked the sky city of Timbuktu, seized King Orion's crown, and melted it into her own. She then laid siege to the city of Troth, infiltrating it inside a Trojan horse. During this attack, Princess Celestia struck Chrysalis with a powerful magical blast. This blast permanently burned circular holes through her legs and wings, a defect that was passed on to her entire subsequent hive.
Appearance: Chrysalis is larger than a standard pony, comparable in height to Princess Celestia. Her body is covered in a hard, jet-black chitin. Her legs and tattered, translucent wings are riddled with holes left over from the battle for the Sky City. A hard, dark green shell is attached to her back. A long, jagged black horn, generating green magic, sits atop her head, along with a black, four-pointed crown. Her mane and tail are ragged and turquoise. She has sharp fangs. Her eyes are light green with vertical, dark pupils.
History and Fall: For a long time, Chrysalis successfully ruled the hive, capturing ponies for food. Her standard tactic was to wrap her victims in dense cocoons to hold them captive and gradually drain their love, saving their energy reserves for later. She orchestrated the substitution of Princess Cadance in Canterlot and the mass kidnapping of Equestria's leaders. Her plans were completely thwarted by Starlight Glimmer. It was Starlight who sparked a revolution within the hive, taught the changelings to share love voluntarily, and triggered their metamorphosis. Under Thorax's leadership, the hive became peaceful, changed form, and completely disowned Chrysalis.
