Twilight Mist 54 February 11, 2014 Share February 11, 2014 Contrary to FIM an alicorn is not a winged unicorn, but the horn of one after it has been killed. It dates from the middle ages when people thought that unicorns were real and they believed that drinking out of their horns would cure any poison. What they were actually getting was the horn of a narwhal, a type of whale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarentheUnicorn 218 February 11, 2014 Share February 11, 2014 Yes, the alicorn is actually the unicorn's horn, not a unicorn with wings. Frankly, I like Winged Unicorn better than alicorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Silver Essence~ 2,625 February 12, 2014 Share February 12, 2014 I have heard about this. Contrary to belief, I believe lauren faust was intended on explaining this in a future episode during her run in season 1, but this is interesting none the less.

ReverseFaller 2,484 February 12, 2014 Share February 12, 2014 Did...Did you say Narwhales? M-Must kill all the Narwhales. (Sorry, the Narwhale thing is an old inside joke between me and somebody else.) On a serious note, that's rather interesting. I never knew that. Thanks for informing me with the knowledge, because as we know knowledge is power, and knowing is half the battle.

Bird Mom 900 February 14, 2014 Share February 14, 2014 Wow, nice to know. I never would have guessed that. Lol. "Pay attention to these petals, Steven. The petals' dance seems improvised, but it is being calculated in real time based on the physical properties of this planet. With hard work and dedication, you can master the magical properties of your gem and perform your own dance!" What do you think of me?: http://kevan.org/johari?name=bird+mom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurtlesForSale 128 February 14, 2014 Share February 14, 2014 Oh wow, now every time they mention a Alicorn in the show i'm going to think of a dead unicorns broken horn ...wow Another fun fact is that the word Pegasus which came from the name of Hercules' pet winged horse was...well just the name of it, technically they are only winged horses, Pegasus was just a name for one of them. 1 Go away Pikachu, you aren't an Eevee evolution :okiedokielokie: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootalove 10,689 February 14, 2014 Share February 14, 2014 (edited) Whatever you want to believe anyway, so yeah. Alicorns are probably just ponies that have one horn and two wings, that's how I see it. In reality, they need to have a unicorn's horn and wings from a pegasus.

Guest February 14, 2014 Share February 14, 2014 Not correct, an Alicorn means both a unicorn's horn and a winged unicorn. Originally it was just the horn but at some point in the eighteenth century it began to be used in reference to a winged unicorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
