Donkeys have no cutie marks?

Recommended Posts

So far, we've seen ponies, zebras, and donkeys in the show, and it looks like donkey's like Matilda and Cranky have no cutie marks. Zecora has got one, but thats probably because she specializes in magic. But do donkey's got no cutie marks?

I don't believe they have Cutie Marks, but this thread did prompt me to start writing a long response that actually has little to do with it, so I shall turn that response into a new discussion thread.


Used to be known on here as Kyronea.

I think that as Ponies evolved, they gained the ability to harness the magical energies of the land. Earth Ponies gained the ability to help plant growth, Pegasi can fly and manipulate clouds, and Unicorns can manipulate magic directly. They all gained cutie marks, which seems to be a magical trait. I think that other races ever gained cutie marks because they aren't as closely tied to the magic of that world. I don't know if Zecora's sun mark is a cutie mark, or if it is just a tattoo, like a tribal mark.

 

However, other magical animals don't have cutie marks, like dragons, so my theory may be wrong.

I think cutie marks are a pony-only thing. Like slendermane said, I think its probably because of their special connection to the forces of magic which no other creature has. In the case of Zecora, I think hers might just be a special design in her stripes.

Ponies are the only ones that have Cutie Marks. Probably due to the fact that they control all of the meteorological, stellar, and earthly events in all of Equestria and probably the entire planet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dragons don't have cutie marks yet only Fluttershy is shown to be stronger than them. Ignoring the fact that she's Dovahkiin of course.

 

I firmly believe that Zecora's "cutie mark" is not a real cutie mark but a tribal tattoo trying to replicate a cutie mark.

 

Donkeys are lesser species, along with other "livestock" animals. Heh, lesser species.

Logically speaking, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that they didn't plan donkeys would get as big a role as they did, so they never thought about it.

 

Also, think about it this way: Cutie marks tend to be on things that are pretty, that little girls will want to have toys of to brush their manes, play dress-up, etc. Can you see little girls playing dress-up with a cow, or a donkey? :P

Season 6 the episode w Gabby the Griffon.  It's canon. Cutie Marks are for Ponies alone. Either

1) Somebody forgot Zecora (Ponies can be somewhat pony centered.  Bridle Gossip, Twilight was the only 1 who had even heard of Zebras).

2) That thing on Zecora's butt is a tattoo not a Cutie Mark

3) Zecora has some pony blood.  Although mules apparently don't have Cutie Marks either

I dunno if Zecora's thingy could be considered as a cutie mark. It looks more like her fur design. Anyways, is hayseed a donkey? cause he doesn't have a cutie mark either

 

Hayseed has a cutiemark, three turnips:
