Why you think that bat wings don't fit in with pegasi? x.x Bats are mammals, ponies are also mammals, so the wings made of skin and fur not feathers actually fit in more http://mlpforums.com/public/style_emoticons/default/dry.png Edited May 30, 2012 by Princess Ariona

I'm not sure if the name "maluma" is fair to them. I mean, really, we know next to nothing about them, so it seems presumptuous to call them evil. Especially since they serve Princess Luna, who, granted, as Night Mare Moon was evil, but now is not. I mean, it's your name, do what you want. I'm just saying.

 

If you agree, and might be looking for a different name, might I suggest "Pteron?" "Pteron" is Greek for "wing." It's also part of the name for the bat order (Chiroptera.) The root ptera/pteron is also included in the species names of many bats, particularly those of different kinds of fruit bats. Not saying, necessarily, that you should change the name, but if you'd sought to, may be worth considering?

 

I'd also like to point out that Maluma contains the word "uma," which is Japanese for "horse," which, in my book, is pretty cool.

 

Actually, Chiroptera is their capital city i thought up. And maluma is kinda stuck in my head.

 

uma for horse worked out well, that's cool!

I don't know... I just thought that ponies back then were a bit more judgmental (hearts warming eve), so they maybe that little difference would ponies not like them.

I wonder why you don't see them an a nightly basis in the show...

I thought this would be about sea ponies...

 

Well anyways, yeah I think they should acknowledge them as a separate species, as I read earlier from another post, Seems Legit.

cool name, mail it to Lauren

cool name, mail it to Lauren

 

Yeah... I sure Lauren Faust would listen to something as dumb as this...

[Victoria and Co. 782]

Naw, they aren't a new species, the bat-wings are just a fashion statement. They wear them on their normal wings to try and look cool.

 

Yeah, that's definitely it...

I believe, if the people at Hasbro were to name it, they would give it something that roots in language! Latin is a great example. They might call it a 'Vesper' because the Latin word for bat is 'Vespertilio' or 'Vespertilionem'. Hasbro has been known to do this (Mi Amora Cadenza, anyone?) and it worked great!

Malum is latin for evil. I was trying to use Vespertilionem as a root word, but I couldn't think of a good way to shorten it

Perhaps Malesper? Mal, Evil, Malicious... Vesper, Bat..
