ggg-2 3,552 July 24, 2017 Share July 24, 2017 Even after his metamorphosis, Thorax sounds quite young. So, how old is he? 1 Don't be a nerd. Join the herd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunkfrank 1,125 July 24, 2017 Share July 24, 2017 We don't know how fast/slow changelings age, so he could be as old as the mane 6, older, or far younger but older by changeling standards. I would just take the safe bet and say somewhere in the mane 6 range, so 20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hierok 11,831 July 25, 2017 Share July 25, 2017 I think he is the same age as Spike, so like 17 years old or something. If I don't understand something or Interpret it wrong, I'm dutch. Sometimes I gamble for meanings of the words. And sometimes I write the wrong words, like week and weak for example. Sorry for it already.

Will Guide 21,360 July 25, 2017 Share July 25, 2017 I described my own Changeling as Young Adult so why not?

DonMaguz 1,023 July 25, 2017 Share July 25, 2017 After metamorphosis, I would say he's an adult. Now, about changelings lifespan, I don't think it would be explored and we're supposed to believe they're similar to ponies lifespan. Giving them actual insect like lifespans would mean they would live very short after metamorphosis, usually with the sole purpose of mating and... Oh! That would explain why they have no hunger anymore! Ok... Now I have a messed up headcanon (poor Chrysalis, she just wanted her hive to keep on living).

Just because they look like insects Does NOT mean they function exactly like insects in real life! They feed off of love instead of whatever real insects feed on, for crying out loud! The ponies were shown eating stuff that would normally kill them. Heck early on they show them throwing up; something real horses can't do! This isn't Earth, this is Equestria! The biology of these animals shouldn't be exactly the same!

A lot of methamorphic insects feed a lot during their early stages to morph, then at the last stage their only purpose is mating, some of them even stop feeding at all to accomplish that. 38 minutes ago, WiiGuy2014 said: Just because they look like insects Does NOT mean they function exactly like insects in real life!

Of course, and this is exactly why I first said: 1 hour ago, DonMaguz said: about changelings lifespan, I don't think it would be explored and we're supposed to believe they're similar to ponies lifespan. I was just trying to overthink a bit with known real life information, it doesn't mean that I really believe they'll do it. On top of it, we're discussing about a child's fantasy show, of course they will use fantasy to keep away from the cruel side of real life nature!

Merion 783 July 25, 2017 Share July 25, 2017 I'd say... early 20s in human years. He does sound young, a bit teenager-ish, but he acts like an adult. 1 click here! ♥ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truffles 2,033 July 31, 2017 Share July 31, 2017 Since he took on the form of a teenage pony as Crystal Hoof, that to me is an indicator he's a teenager. Plus the voice is a dead giveaway.

NavelColt 22,879 January 5, 2019 Share January 5, 2019 He's very shy and inexperienced with all manner of things, only having really improved recently after becoming a leader. I'd say younger than the Mane Six but still a young adult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadeda 178 January 5, 2019 Share January 5, 2019 I would say that he's a bit younger than the main 6 and closer to Starlight and Spike in age... which is early 20s. For the record i think the main six are mid to late 20's... rarity and applejack might even be in their 30s at this point. I think Starlight is that fresh outta college age 22-23 and spike a bit younger 17-20. If i had to pick a age for Thorax... It would be 21.

KaiKeebler_YT 0 January 7, 2020 Share January 7, 2020 I didn't do a lot of research on a changeling's age, so I'm gonna say he's 19 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash In 22,213 January 7, 2020 Share January 7, 2020 I have no idea how Changelings age, so I can't really make any assumptions about that. In human years, I would guess that Thorax is between eighteen and twenty. He seems like a young adult at the very least, but younger than the Mane Six. At first I rejected the zero, but that was because I simply didn't understand it. Now I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the voice is a dead giveaway. Since changeling maturity rate is unknown this is really the best indication we have. Thorax choose that age for a reason. While Thorax has physical changed his age would still be the same. So based on his pony form and that he was chosen to be Spike's friend, Thorax has to be around Spike and the student six's age range. My card: "A Talking Dragon - as acknowledged by Fluttershy" I've got lots to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey 4,248 February 22, 2020 Share February 22, 2020 I’d say between the ages of the mane six and spike. Late teens, early twenties. He doesn’t strike me as older. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
