Which pony race would you want to be? Why?

[Lunar Glow 674]

Would you want to be a Unicorn, Pegusus, or, just for the sake of being a pony, an Earth Pony?

 

I would be a Pegusus. I have always wanted to fly!

 

And, if you have not noticed, I didn't put Alicorn on the poll, for the fact that of course you want the best of both worlds, but I can't make it that easy for you!

Unicorns seem to have the most benefits in my opinion. The ability to use magic and alter reality would be invaluable.

[Bronydoc12 37]

I would say unicorn they are more the natural leaders and they are more into with magic/science aspects of the world

[Roughshod 719]

Earth ponies never get very much love despite the immense fan base for Pinkie Pie and to a lesser extant Applejack. They're supposed to be physically stronger than the other ponies and more industrious as well. Not to mention they're the only ones who can grow food which is a pretty big deal.

 

Actually, since Celestia and Luna raise the sun and the moon, unicorns don't really have any specific purpose in Equestria now. They're largely obsolete.

[Venomous 18,813]

I would be an earth pony or a pegasus.

[HDAZ 12]

Pegasus! I've always loved birds and such.

[ShadowPirateX 600]

None of them. I'd be a griffon. That way I could fly around and keep my hands.

If I couldn't be an Alicorn then I'd find a way to become one. If that power rests in the hooves of Celestia(and possibly Luna) I'd find a way to convince them to give me that power.

[remove p l e a s e ? 800]

Unicorn. I could still grab objects with a good grip and I could have special abilities.

[Zekromic 1,054]

Bat, I like bat ponies, and they are official, so no "they don't exist" comments

[Night Fire 115]

Magic is neat, no doubt about it, but for me, Pegasus, just the thought of helping with the weather and just kinda kiting and flying around, I mean...c'mon! Sleeping on a cloud? Yeah!

[King Sejong 858]

   A pegasus pony would be nice, I always dreamed of the ability to fly, even stand on the clouds, to me I always wanted the ethereal feeling of flying, it is so liberating. 

[Rainboom Dash 1,055]

I would be a pegasus, because to fly, walk on clouds and control weather would be awesome.

[Starlight Fan 538]

Unicorn, because I get to have ze magicks

Who wouldn't want ze magicks?

[SparklingSwirls 21,261]

I would be a pegasus! It would be so much fun to fly and walk on clouds and all that

 

A unicorn would be nice too, but it seems that most unicorns are very limited in their magical abilities.

[Roughshod 719]

Teleportation trumps flying. And unicorns can use their magic to create wings (maybe not the strongest ones) and enable non-pegasi to walk on clouds.

 

Unicorns FTW bro!

[Twisted Cyclone 🚓 6,221]

I would be a pegasus. That way I can fly and change the weather. I am a weather fanatic so it would make sense to choose pegasus.

[Koukatsu 5,898]

Obviously an OP Alicorn!

Other than that, I'd hope for Pegasus!

[Scrubbed user 3,415]

If I was a unicorn, I could just troll everypony around.  

 

If I was a pegasus, I could do an actual barrel roll.

 

If I had neither of those, I wouldn't have to worry about learning magic or flying. But I would feel left out of both.

 

I'll take wings.

[Invincible 2,090]

Unicorn. I would study and practice magic regularly.

[Silverhoof 2,839]

I think it would be easiest for a human to transition into a unicorn.

We humans are used to having hands.

Unicorn telekinesis replaces hands very well.

 

Magic is just the icing on the cake. Even untrained unicorns know a spell or two, Having a light spell, Rarity's mending spell (remember when she fixed the broken wagon wheel?), or a few useful spells always make life a bit easier.

 

Conclusion: Unicorns are best.

[Falsey 44]

I would choose the other category, because Changelings. They can fly and use magic, even if they do have their drawbacks.

[A goat 323]

I'd be a goaticorn, a goat that has magical powers. Do I need to say anything else?

[DormantAccount 308]

I'd be happy with whatever race I was warped into, but my OC is a pegasus.

[Oblivion 20,265]

Pegasus of course! that way I could train hard in race Dashie, maybe even win sometime as well.
