it could still be celestia. I mean, her hair was pink in the original and it is 3 colors in reality. |

Are cimera's supposed to be part dragon, lizard, snake, lion, goat, deer, bat, bird, ox? |

Alternatively: The Cutie Mark Crusaders create a Jabberwocky from spare parts who goes out and parties with Celestia and Luna. |

If these are from season 1 this is for sure true...
the season 2 opener was supposed to be the finale of season 1. DAT foreshadowing |

Yeah, actually, that makes perfect sense. |

A Chimera is basically if Dr. Frankenstein had gotten body parts by closing his eyes and flipping through the Dungeons and Dragons monster manual selecting creatures randomly. |
| Some_Anon #431556 10 months ago |
Wait a second... so Discord isn't a Tirek Expy? God damn it, that could have been awesome (and nostalgic). Not saying the Discord we'll get isn't awesome either. I mean... Tirek... dude... he was perfect. (Probably lost rights to him too, huh?) |
| Anonymous #431570 10 months ago |
What the hell is a Tirek Expy? |
| Togeyosh #431571 10 months ago |
The stain glass... The Chimera... The same chimera in stone-white colour, whilst surrounded by the Princesses... So this COULD be Discord! But the visage of him tormenting and controlling other ponies as if they were merely his puppets... Wait...
...Oh dear god. Grey Rainbow Dash. Is he trying to deliver that cloud somewhere or to someone whilst under the control of Discord. What is he going to do to the other ponies? T-to... To Fluttershy...? Okay, I'm scared now! If he's capable of making ponies do evil things, then it's also likely he's the "external magic" that transformed Luna into Nightmare Moon! The season hasn't started yet and I'm already filled with worry and dread!! |
| Glord #431583 10 months ago |
@Togeyosh
Well whatever he does to Fluttershy we can take solace in the fact that the Mane cast will make him.. TASTE THE RAINBOW! |

I think that Tirek/Tirek expy should be saved as a final boss. |
| Anonymous #431634 10 months ago |
A chimera of course! I should have known XD |
| DragonRage #431642 10 months ago |
My only exposure to Tirek has been through fanfics that reintroduce him as a villain to G4, but from what I know about him thus far Discord could still end up being a Tirek expy.
Just because they don't look identical or similar doesn't mean they can't have the same roles in their respective stories. |

Chimera
Sorry, but you failed at well-known mythology: The Chimera or Chimaera ( /kɨˈmɪərə/ or /kaɪˈmɪərə/; Greek: Χίμαιρα, Khimaira, from χίμαρος, khimaros, "she-goat") was, according to Greek mythology, a monstrous fire-breathing female creature of Lycia in Asia Minor, composed of the parts of multiple animals: upon the body of a lioness with a tail that ended in a snake's head, the head of a goat arose on her back at the center of her spine. The Chimera was one of the offspring of Typhon and Echidna and a sibling of such monsters as Cerberus and the Lernaean Hydra. The term chimera has also come to describe any mythical animal with parts taken from various animals and, more generally, an impossible or foolish fantasy. |
| Kein #431686 10 months ago |
It is not a lizard. It is a female. Not related to illusions/dreams at all. |
| Flutterguy #431694 10 months ago |
Seems fair |
| Anonymous #431696 10 months ago |
Is Discord confirmed to be male? and if so by who? |
| AdrianBrony #431701 10 months ago |
#431681
it is a mishmash of creatures, which has been described as a chimera before. the show doesn't need to be spot on to the original mythology, only close enough to get the point across. the original greek chimera it is not, but more recent re imaginings of it from say, the middle ages, could be more accurate. it has 2 or 3 major reptilian features, the show can take liberties with the gender, and they can modify the abilities however they wish. |

| Anonymous #431727 10 months ago |
A manticore is a Manticore though = 3 = |
| AdrianBrony #431734 10 months ago |
#431723
and that's all fine and good, but your description copypasta itself says that "chimera" can refer to any creature with parts taken from other creatures. they could still call it a chimera and be completely accurate. |
| Kein #431749 10 months ago |
Exactly my point. Manticore wasn't changed at all. Neither design, neither concept. There is totally no reason why the same team suddenly introduce Chimera and change her design/concept. It makes no solid sense at all. |
| Kein #431755 10 months ago |
By design I mean "core design" of course. The lizard on stained glass has nothing with Chimera in common, no connectivity in design aspects, while Manticore clearly resembles Manticore. |
| AdrianBrony #431756 10 months ago |
#431749
well to be fair a manticore can't be described as "any combination of other creatures" like the chimera has come to be described as. |
| Kein #431783 10 months ago |
*shrugs*
If you insist and want it to be Chimera - I don't mind. |
| AdrianBrony #431784 10 months ago |
and as for why they decided to go with the more common use of the word Chimera? either they assumed that was always what it meant, or it's easier to draw a more modern meaning of a chimera, and they could make the more modern definition suit their needs more readily. |
| AdrianBrony #431788 10 months ago |
#431783
it really doesn't matter as much if I'm wrong, it was more a challenge when you said "you failed at well-known mythology" that's what got me going on this, heh. |
