Posted: Sun Aug 09, 2015 10:49 pm
EARTH PONIES
Earth ponies are strong and humble members of the pony race. They tend to be kind and gentle, with a touch of silliness from time to time. The Earth ponies tend to share a unique connection to the land and animals.
PEGASI
The Pegasi are a winged race of ponies, responsible for controlling the weather in Equestria. Most Pegasi possess inherent increased agility and speed, though this is not always so. Pegasus wings are sometimes tremendously strong; athletically-trained Pegasi support most of their body weight on them. The Pegasi also possess the city of Cloudsdale, which is populated exclusively by the Pegasus race.
UNICORNS
Unicorns are the horned ponies of Equestria, with the ability to use magic to affect the world around them. All unicorns have a long horn protruding from their forehead which glows when their magical powers are used. Although they are associated with their magic, a unicorn's horn is strong and sharp enough to have mundane uses. While often not as strong as the Earth ponies and Pegasi, they tend to compensate for this lack of strength and agility by using their intellect to overcome problems and struggles. Typically, most unicorns possess a certain degree of magic that usually falls within the realm of the individual unicorn’s talent. Some unicorns, such as Twilight Sparkle, exceed this limitation due to magic being a talent in and of itself. During the war, a select group of Unicorns were brought together by Twilight Sparkle and demonstrated that it is possible through training, hard work, and some natural talent, to deviate from the norm and use the magic of other unicorns.
ALICORNS Limited to 8% of the current player character population.
Alicorns have both wings and horns, allowing them to fly as well as use magic. The most famous alicorns are the twin princesses of Equestria, Celestia and Luna.
GRIFFON
One of the few intelligent creatures besides ponies, griffons are a mix of two different things: Eagles and lions. Their front half is that of an eagle, head, wings, claws, etc. The back half, the torso, hind legs, and tail, are that of a lion. Griffons are very strong creatures, with the ability of flight which can rival the speed of a Pegasus. Griffons are often a greedy race whose lust for gold and treasure is stated to rival that of dragons, and they only offer their services in exchange for bits.
BUFFALO
Another of the intelligent creatures of Equestria, the buffalo inhabit the wild Buffalo plains in the east of Equestria. They're large, fast, and strong. Once part of the Alliance during the war, the Buffalo’s have since returned to a peaceful state of existence on the plains of the Hoofterlands.
ZEBRAS
Zebras are a very mysterious race from western lands . While hailing from lands separated by a great body of water and to the east, a few of these ponylike creatures seem to live in the Everfree forest, a place that cannot be touched by Equestria's magic. They create potions and medicines out of herbs and plants, often with magical-seeming effects. Most speak in rhyme.
DIAMOND DOG
Diamond dogs live underground, spending most of their lives mining for gems. They value the shining stones more highly than nearly anything. Recently, some individuals have started hiring the dogs as grunts, enticing them with a payload of gemstones.
MINOTAUR
A minotaur is a hybrid creature, part man, part goat. They're still somewhat rare in Equestria, but are beginning to appear in greater numbers. The posses great strength, and opposable thumbs, which have been seen to be quite useful in warfare.
HIPPOGRIFF
A hippogriff is a very rare creature, possibly some kind of ancient hybrid. It's a creature with the wings of an eagle, the body of a lion, and the head of a pony.
Hatchling, Dragons
Dragon hatchling's are the youngest type of dragon and tend to require constant attention. Rare in Equestria. With thick scales and the ability to breath fire hatchling's can be dangerous, but lack the strength and stamina to make themselves truly threatening.
Teen, Dragons
Older dragons of this type are stronger and tougher than their hatchling brethren and tend to have a nasty temper.
Adult, Dragons Mod/Admin
Fire spewing beasts that are out for themselves. These creatures are far greater and size and even more so in terms of strength than the younger versions of themselves
Elder, Dragons Mod/Admin
Since the end of the dragon war, the number of Elders has diminished. Once a mighty council, the Elders have since taken their broods and kept to themselves. Some remain in negotiation with the Equestrians, making an attempt at coexistence, while others forsake social niceties at all. Elders are the mightiest of the mighty in dragon society, overshadowing the adults in size, strength, wit, and magic.
Changlings
A race of insect-like equine creatures who possess the unique ability to take on the exact appearance of any equine creature, the mysterious changeling race feeds upon the emotions of others to sustain themselves. They have black carapace-like coats, webbed manes and tails, reflection-less eyes (unlike their queen's), fangs, bent horns, jagged ears, insect-like wings, and holes in their legs. Unlike ponies, changelings do not have cutie marks. The changelings have invaded several kingdoms in the past, including those of King Orion and Emperor Incitatus, though the latter invasion was thwarted by Princess Celestia. Leading Queen Chrysalis to despise Celestia. Changelings were born from a carnivorous plant that grew from a rotten acorn that fell into a magic pond under a cemetery. They were inadvertently released by Star Swirl the Bearded, who nailed a warning sign to the plant to keep others away, only to create a crack from which the changelings emerged.
