Creatures of Equestria

[windy_prance 114]

There has been a lot of mythical creatures shown on MLP. (griffins, minotaurs, manicores, hydras, dragons...timber wolves??)

 

What mythical beast do you want to see on MLP but haven't yet?

 

For me, two animals come to mind.

 

First, I want to see a Chinese "Qilin" (or as I remember it in Japanese as a "Kirin") which is a dragon shaped like a deer with the hooves and tail of an ox.

 

I like to imagine that in the MLP universe, all "enlighten" dragons (those who grow up NOT tempted by greed) will turn into a Qilin instead. It'll be a nice loophole to have for all the Rarity x Spike fans out there.

 

The other mythical beast would be a Cerberus...because Fluttershy needs an awesome guard animal!

 

Any thoughts??

A Hippogriff, Half horse half eagle

[Eenohay 318]

well, umm. I'd like to see aaaaa...

 

Wow, the amount of mytological creatures is huge! Apart from the ones mentioned in the OP, there are Cockatrices, Phoenixes, Pegasi and Unicorns! And maybe more I don't remember.

 

Well, we could see aaaaa, satyre?

[Mephala 2,633]

Saytr, fo' sho.

Jackalope.

Yeti.

:D

Well just seeing a manticore was enough to make my dreams come true. But I suppose I wouldn't object to seeing some harpies, if only to see the fan reaction to creatures with human-like features being in the series.

 

[Skullbuster 1,906]

a cyclops!

[Kyreth 193]

I think trolls would fit in well as dopey antagonists. Or maybe peaceful misunderstood creatures. I can totally imagine a troll animated in mlp style.

 

References to forum trolls could be awesome.

[Aureity 3,055]

Well, we already got dragons, manticores, hydras...

 

How about some unicorns?

 

Oh wait...

[Goodra 530]

Mermaid, sep its a pony, so maybe it could be called... a sea pony?

 

Ide also like to see a Chimera, a human, and more constellation monsters.

 

Oh, and Cthulhu, maybe he can appear in the sea pony episode if there ever is one.

[Burning Desire 11]

Creatures that are imaginary... and even more imaginary

 

Actually, how about a slime, or a beholder? :3 in a DnD style episode.

[Emerald Flame 380]

I'd love to see a Cerberus. I love canines and Greek myths, so that's an obvious choice for me.

Totally agree and since Celestia has a phoenix for a pet, maybe the show will give Luna a cerberus as her pet~! Those sharp teeth would be mightly useful on Nightmare Night!

[GrooveBroove 680]

Dinosaurs

 

Just cause

[Halfblood 364]

Mermaid, sep its a pony, so maybe it could be called... a sea pony?

 

That would be called a Hippocamp, and I would love to see them in MLP.

[windy_prance 114]

On second thought, if Luna gets a Cerberus as a pet then Fluttershy should get a Orthrus (two-headed dog who is the brother of Cerberus) as a guard animal. Maybe they can do an episode where Fluttershy babysit the unruly beast for a day for Luna?

What about a youkai or tengus; some japanece mythology would be awesome.

Ancient animal-gods a la Mononoke style:

 

A half-dragon, half-pony race perhaps?

Discord is sorta like an internet troll

Cthulhu ! ~

[Marshmallow 1,134]

a cyclops!

 

Oh, but we've seen one already.

 

The problem with mythological creatures is that many cool mythological creatures like Harpys, Sphinx, and Centaurs have a human head or at least some other human attribute, which I think would be pretty strange in MLP.

 

Maybe a chimera? Or is Discord already technically a chimera?

 

Oh I know! Gargoyles!

[Zacharius The Prosecutor 46]

Trolls, gargoyles or incubus'/succubus'.

 

or a pheonix...........WRIGHT!

 

Law ponies ftw.

Beholder. Definitely the right thing to put in the show!

 

In all seriousness, though, no matter how seeing a beholder would blow my mind, a Chimera might be a little less freaky for the younger audience.

[TomokoKuroki 1,707]

I would love to see some Saytrs, elementals, sprites, and giants.

[Boofyhooves 78]

A ponyfied version of a Siren would be pretty cool. Minus the drowning people part.

[Eenohay 318]

Oh, but we've seen one already.

 

 

Where have we seen a cyclops?

[Zalgo 593]

Leviathan.

 

2 part episode material.

Or a Kraken
