Nylon 158 May 19, 2014 Share May 19, 2014 (edited) Okay, Chrysalis is a changeling, Nightmare Moon's a goddess gone mad, Tyrek is a centaur monkey man, and Discord is a furry's interpretation of Frankenstein (lol jk he's a Draconequus). Out all of the villains of MLP, the show has never told us what exactly King Sombra is. The wiki says he's a unicorn, but from what I can tell from his horn to his fangs to his ENTIRE color scheme, there's just no way he could be just some ordinary unicorn. What in the hay is he?! Is there even a name for his species? What would be a good name for his species? Edited May 19, 2014 by Sniper-Melon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castle Bleck 19,447 May 19, 2014 Share May 19, 2014 (edited) He's just that: a unicorn who became demonic after using too much dark magic. Edited May 19, 2014 by A.V. 4 By @Emerald Heart.↑ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostfacekiller39 23,879 May 19, 2014 Share May 19, 2014 A unicorn who uses dark magic.

LED Dasher 228 May 19, 2014 Share May 19, 2014 Perhaps he is a shadow-like unicorn that uses dark magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggg-2 3,555 May 19, 2014 Share May 19, 2014 like everyone is saying, he's a unicorn who was corrupted, completely, body and soul, by his own evil and cruelty. Don't be a nerd. Join the herd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponies N' Stuff 12 May 19, 2014 Share May 19, 2014 (edited) Headcanon Time: The amulet is to blame. Too much use beyond corruption brings in a powerful dark magic that takes over the pony. Edited May 19, 2014 by Ponies N' Stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castle Bleck 19,447 May 19, 2014 Share May 19, 2014 (edited) Also, IMO, Sombra himself should stay gone, but his horn should definitely return as a MacGuffin (similar to the One Ring). Edited May 19, 2014 by A.V. By @Emerald Heart.↑ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crimson Cross 7,533 May 20, 2014 Share May 20, 2014 I think that King Sombra has changed form slowly after being corrupted for such a long time. I would say that it is probably a similar story with Nightmare Moon / Princess Luna too. Now with more added tea leaves!

Nylon 158 May 20, 2014 Author Share May 20, 2014 It would have been cool if we he was some part of a different race of pony like how Zecora is. Maybe they'd be all like Latin or Mexican or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartan 433 May 20, 2014 Share May 20, 2014 as everyone said, hes just a Corrupted Unicorn.. would love to see the villians, minus discord, turned into foals xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hive King 2,001 May 20, 2014 Share May 20, 2014 Alternative theory, there used to be crystal unicorns and they look like Sombra...Sombra got rid of them for obvious reasons "Aren’t we the same? You know, aren’t you carrying the same mindset as I am? Just because you couldn’t bear to lose, you lost your precious partner! You really call yourself a true duelist? You’re the complete opposite of that!" -Weevil Underwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZRD WZRD 1,929 May 20, 2014 Share May 20, 2014 Literally: He's a scary-looking unicorn Symbolically: He's the embodiment of hate and darkness (which is why his greatest weakness is love and light) Check out my channel for awesome video reviews and analysis! https://www.youtube.com/c/LZRDWZRD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zygen 6,066 May 20, 2014 Share May 20, 2014 He's essentially just the byproduct of a Unicorn who used dark magic a little to much. Sure he looks crazy for a Unicorn, but he's still technically a Unicorn. Thanks to Gone Airbourne for the awesome sig!

Pastel 7,630 May 20, 2014 Share May 20, 2014 (edited) I guess unicorns change of appearance once they fully mastered dark magic. EDIT: Celestia didn't. Edited May 20, 2014 by Blobulle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivion 20,282 May 20, 2014 Share May 20, 2014 Well, my guess is that he used to be good, then he did something that involved using dark magic, the dark magic backfired on him and turned him into the evil pony with awesome power, or at least that is my head cannon.
