were did you find these creatures? not the images the names and details? is there like a archive or something? |
| Bananagher-Links #495395 10 months ago |
Not bad. I wonder if somebody here could make them less creepy for the show. |

> inb4 we have Chimera
nope.avi Draconequus != Chimera Aslo - we had had Nightmare and pretty much similar one (NMM's design was cool after all) #1 made my day. |
| Anonymous #495404 10 months ago |
I would think that NMM could be considered a Nightmare. |

There was a squid in The Show Stoppers. Does that count?
Also, Nightmare? As in NIGHTMARE Moon? |

Worm That Walks? I'm thinking the singing, dancing Oogie Boogie Man might do the trick. |

I like the elemental idea. Make like a gang of them for the Mane 6. Like the Roudyrough boys for the Powerpuff Girls. |

We had A Squid, but it was not a Darkmantle and was nowhere near the size of a Kraken. |

| NightJack #495453 10 months ago |
I don't know about the Darkmantle or the Roper, but the Beholder and the Worm that Walks are copyright of Wizards, so they would have to pay to use them. |
| NightJack #495456 10 months ago |
The rest are all from various myths and legends. |

Dungeons & Dragons is also owned by Hasbro. Guess what else they made. |

I just notices i had a mistake, I put "they would have to pay" I meant they wouldn't have to pay anything to use them. |

I not much of a D&D player but I just love the Owlbears, I have no idea why but I just do. |

Darkmantles are out. They're not as big as the picture makes them seem; they're actually only Small-sized creatures by D&D standards. Plus, their natural habitat is underground... so they're the Diamond Dogs' problem, not the ponies' problem.
And speaking of D&D, beholders are right out. Yes, we all know Hasbro owns WotC, but beholders are still exclusive property of the 'Dungeons and Dragons' line of games; Hasbro still can't use them unless their child company gives the go-ahead. We've already had things similar to both the Nightmare (Nightmare Moon, and the raging Twilight in Episode 15) and the Roper (the evil trees in Episode 2), so they can technically be struck off the list. Will-o'-wisps are not that far-fetched; they're essentially just sentient glowing orbs, like super-sized fireflies... that can turn invisible by extinguishing their glow... and are extremely hard to hit... and deliver high-powered shocks... and are immune to magic. On second thought, if these things got agitated, they could easily fuck the Mane Six up as easily as any other monster—scratch them, too. Chimeras are not implausible. We've already seen manticores (lions with scorpion tails) and the 'draconequus' (an amalgam of creatures with a pony head), so what prevents the occurrence of chimeras? Krakens... probably not for two reasons. First, they're aquatic monsters so unless someone searches for them or takes a boat to a foreign land (both of those are rather doubtful), they won't be seen... and second, "dominate animal" as a spell-like ability. All it has to do is dominate Rainbow, Applejack or Twilight, and it's game over. So, out of ten monsters, less than half of the monsters could actually work in the show: elementals, hippogriffs, chimeras, and the worm that walks. |

What about lammasu, shedu, and/or ki-rin? Ooh, or couatls? |
| Anonymous #495686 10 months ago |
^^You are kind of thinking too much into this.
1. Just because Darkmantles live in caves/underground and are slightly small doesn't mean they can't work. 2. Your reason for not having Will-O'-Wisps kind of suck too, if we have Discord we can have them. 3. Krakens can DEFINITELY work if there was ever an episode where the cast were out at sea. 4. Those trees with the faces on them do NOT count as ropers. The only ones you are technically right about are beholders and nightmares (There is still nothing wrong with asking permission if necessary though). Even though Nightmare Moon wasn't particularly what I had in mind for a traditional nightmare, I suppose she is the closest we are going to get. |

Elementals? At the risk of tooting my own horn, working on a fanfic with those. Harmonic elementals, no less. |

Minotaurs Harpies ponified Gorgons (from HoMM 3 the swamp fortress) a.k.a. Lizard Ponies. |

(Pretty unlikely now) |
| phallen1 #495902 10 months ago |
Kyuss worms would be a little... dark for ponies.
I mean, I've played through Age of Worms, I know how that shit ends. Before you know it, you have purple worms popping out of the ground and entire cities worth of ponies spontaneously turning into ghouls. |

@NightJack
"Beholder and the Worm that Walks are copyright of Wizards" "Worm that Walks" is a concept older than the internet. WotC may have copywrighted the name, but nothing more, so anyone is free to use the man-shaped swarm of bugs. |

The Will-O'-Wisp could lure unwary ponies into treacherous mires, which is suggested by its picture. |

discord is not a chimera. he's based of a chimera but is actually a Draconequus |
