Any ideas for other equine based races?

Or it could be the armour, as do you not remember how solar and lunar guards look alike? They were a special type of armour that changes their appearance, and when they take it off they look like other ponies.

 

Possibly, if so then maybe Sombra and these pegasi have similarly enchanched armour. Heck, the only time we see Nightmare Moon without the armour on is after she's 'turned back' into Luna.

 

But I like the idea of a shadow race of ponies. :)

 

Interestingly, the colour changing armour isn't always consistant, as there are more than white and gray guards in the Canterlot Wedding episode. Either that, or they only have a limited number of enchanted sets and they had called up all the reserves and stick them in non-enchanted armour.

pony-based races?  my first thought was just other similar herbavores.. like gazelle, giraffes... llamas, and if theres a saddle-arabia, there must be camels!  there also should be kelpies imo. <3 thatd make a better sea pony, though i dont object to a cameo of the old school type sea ponies.

Meet the Sumatran Unicorn and the Serican unicorn.

 

Aren't they absolutely beautiful? O_o

 

I'd start laughing uncontrollably if these two walked onto the screen during the show xD

Bronies. magical beings that can cross dimensional barriers. One one side they appear as humans, In Equestria they are ponies. Crossing over and back at will, these Bronies live dual lives. Further they can be annoying because they know all about the mane six.

Celestia has outlawed bronies from entering Ponyville and pestering ( hitting on, even proposing to) the mane six (but most Bronies are unaware of the ruling).

Ok, so we have our basic earth pony, pegasus, and unicorn. Along with alicorns, zebras, changlings (though changelings don't really count) and various others. And we all know about seaponies/hippocampi, even though they are yet to make an appearance.

 

But are there any other equine races you would like to see appear on the show? There are many myths featuring cool equine animals, and some interesting lesser known real equines as well.

 

Personally, I would think it awesome to see a Kirin, or Asian unicorn appear on the show. We already have Saddle Arabia, Equestria's version of Saudi Arabia, and let's not forget Manehatten. Maybe the Kirin could be from some sort of pony version of China.

I also think it would be cool to see a Kelpie. You know, the water horse things that apparently eat people. I think they could be good villains, maybe something kind of like a changeling.

Lastly I think it would be cool to see a quagga. An extinct zebra. We have unicorns, dragons and all sorts of other magical things, why can't we have extinct creatures? I was thinking they could be like the pony version of cave-men, maybe they would be alive and just live in a certain part of Equestria (maybe with Saber Tooth cats and various other extinct things), or maybe they could just be mentioned in legends (like in the episode Read it and Weep, where the story from the book is animated as well as the characters reading it).

I kind of doubt Hasbro will do any other this, but it would be cool if they did. (Hey, who knows, the Equine changelings were based off a real mythological creature, the Pooka, that's not very well known).

 

So what new kinds of ponies do you want to see appear on the show? Are there any kinds of ponies you think will appear on the show?

Giraffes and Okapi would be nice, but what I really, really want, is a llama in show. I don't know why they haven't used that yet.

Llamas are awesome.

 

Yes! A llama is a must! I think it would be amusing if the llama was cast as a villain too (not a main one like Nightmare Moon, but a minor one like Trixie or Film and Flam). However seeing a llama in the show would be awesome enough, evil or not!

I merged two threads regarding the same topic (i.e., the introduction of other equine races in MLP). The previous topic was fairly old and in Sugarcube Corner, making it easy to overlook.

Giraffes and sea ponies, of course.

But you know something that would be really cool? Ponies with dragon wings. I've seen a few pictures of them like that before and I think they'd be cool in the show.

I think somepony said something about nocturnal ponies? Epic.

I want more batponies.

Maybe a yeti.

Goats.

And possibly sea ponies.

But something more along the lines of this instead of the terrifying older version.

Here are some possible options I want to see:

Deer--why arn't there any of these

Llama--a llama would be cool

Okapi--they look like a cross between a horse, zebra and Giraffe

Giraffe--possible in Zecora episode

Rhinocerous--We have seen buffalos, but we havn't seen rhinos.

I certainly would like to see some deer, antelope, more zebras, and reindeer. If we have reindeer, you could also throw Santa Claws, a kind, immortal griffon who delivers presents too.

I demand sea ponies. XD I always have done. Other possibilities:

 

 

* Hippogriffs. We got griffons, so why not hippogriffs? http://www.lizaphoenix.com/encyclopedia/hippogriff.shtml

 

* Hippalectryon. Yes, weird I know. XD But you did ask! http://www.theoi.com/Ther/Hippalektryon.html

 

* Ceffyl-Dwr. A bit like a kelpie, but Welsh. http://www.celtnet.org.uk/miscellaneous/ceffyl_dwfr.html

Awwww... sad.png  I was about to mention the Hippogriffs... You beated me to it. I totally approve this idea. It would be even better if it was young and it's parent were a griffon and a pony!

 

Also, I approve the idea of a Kirin. Kelpies are a great idea for the "Sea-ponies"

I have a Kelpie character, Arklight, the leader of a famous Equestrian PMC, Watchlight Tactical Solutions. All black coat, grey/green mane, very thin, and can morph their faces into a more frightening form and possess illusion magic. The race is not native to Equestria.

How about some ponies with bat wing genetics?

 

I would like to see at least tigers and lions. Any animal that I haven't seen, would be really cool to see.
