Because all lifeforms are a 1000+ years old.
Yeah no. |

Um, how many species do you know of are less than 1000 years old? |
| Bags #168110 1 year ago |
Yeah, and you can totally know everything. |
| MagicMarker #168115 1 year ago |
Maybe the Parasprites were some sort of 'invasive' or new species? Only Pinkie Pie (And maybe Zecora) recognised them, so maybe it's not that all surprising that Celestia didn't know what they were. Hell, even Fluttershy, who knows pretty much everything about animals, didn't know what they were at first. |

@kana Yep, and parasprites just spontaneously evolved on Pinkie Pie's rock farm last Thursday. |

I heard being ruler / king / president means you know what every kind of bug / plant / animal is. |

Considering the scale of disaster they are capable of, do you really think she wouldn't even know what one was? I'm pretty sure Obama knows what a locust is. |

I just assumed Celestia KNEW what they were and pretended not to so Twilight could save face . . . or admit what was going on, if she was willing. |

I'm sure he knows what a locust is. But if he saw one he'd probably just say it was a grasshopper. |

^He hasn't had 1000+ years to see one. After such a long time you'd think a parasprite infestation would've happened at least once. If not, how did Pinkie know how to deal with it? Celestia, as the monarch, would know if even a small town's crops were devastated by them, wouldn't she? |
| Kanrabat #168205 1 year ago |
Agree with Tibberly on this one. Celestia DID see the state of Ponyville from her charriot. She played dumb because the Parasprites rarely get out for a rampage. And she spared Twilight's feeling and reputation because she love her --in a non-shipping way-- so much. She was there, seeing the Pinkie/parasprite parade... she saw her #1 student, desperated... she just tought fast! |

Yeah, I also interpreted it as Celestia knowing what was up, and doing everyone a favour by coming up with some excuse and leaving, lol. |

@Silk
Except Parasprites clearly aren't some common locust known for wrecking havoc everywhere. As for Pinkie Pie, well it is Pinkie Pie. |
