Why does Spike keep growing wings? Is it that hard to imagine a wingless dragon?

@Infernal: Keep in mind that what happened the day he was born was he was turned into a giant baby, not an adult. it's still possible he'll grow wings.

...so...he's gonna end up equivalant to Nall from Lunar: Silver Star Story/Harmony?

I don't think he could be as annoying as Nall if he tried.

And if he starts crapping diamonds, he won't be able to keep Rarity away from him.

Geez, I almost typed half a fanfiction responding to Deeper and Spike. I think I'll spare you the tl;dr and actually go write it.

^ You put something in, something's got to come out.

And you ARE familiar with how diamonds are created, correct?

The weird thing? If the other dragons are any example he's barely grown up!

Of course he'd grow wings. If he didn't, he'd be a lindwyrm, not a dragon. :P

Eastern* I'm a dumbass. But anyway, my statement still stands. Cuz a "lindwyrm" is a Final Fantasy thing, (which in retrospect is its OWN thing and not something to necessarily refer to when it comes to learning about mythological creatures) and by the way, THOSE lindwyrms HAVE wings.

A Norse/Norwegian/Swedish/German linwyrm is a wingless BIPEDAL dragon. Spike, tho being bipedal, is also from time to time a quadruped. Just the same those lindwyrms don't have arms and Spike does. (They're also poisonous.)

Realistically, Spike wouldn't magically sprout wings like the red and green dragons have. Not only because growing extra limbs is a time-consuming and more than likely PAINFUL process. Plus it brings up the question as to why Spike doesn't speak aloud any wish to fly whatsoever. Probably because he's accepted that he doesn't have wings and won't ever have them.

And if one were to argue that the bigger dragon Twilight "made" was an enlarged version of Baby Spike, why wouldn't it be just that when animated, as opposed to making an entire new dragon design altogether?

Well, I actually went and wrote the fic. We'll see if it makes it through the pre-readers.

c4tspajamas: I didn't even know Lindwyrms were in Final Fantasy... Anyway, I just gave Spike wings and a new design because I thought he'd look better that way. I thought the one in Cutie Mark Crusaders looked awful. Just my opinion, of course. ;) (yes, I'm the artist of this piece - thanks for the comments, everyone!)

Chances are Spike is a descendant of Glaurang, father of all dragons. Glaurang was a wyrm and had no wings. Other dragons seen throughout Equestria are probably descended from Ignast the fire drake. Chances are anything large, reptilian, and fire breathing has long since been merged into one category as a "dragon", but there is a difference.

I just nerded all over this comment section. Sorry about that.
