The Ponies

[Unicorn] Ponies

Unicorn Ponies each possess a unique magical ability, in addition to the power to teleport by 'winking in and out' although not all of them were seen using it.

[Pegasus] Ponies

Pegasus Ponies can fly using their featured wings, with the ability to carry considerable weight into the air with them. All of the Pegasus Ponies except North Star, Surprise, Locket, Twilight and babies have cameos in 'Baby, It's Cold Outside'.

Earth Ponies

Earth Ponies are the most like real horses, without horns, wings or other fanciful additions. However several Earth Ponies had their special talents.

Flutter Ponies

Flutter Ponies are ponies with tiny bodies, curly hair, longer legs than regular ponies and fairy-like wings. The Flutter Ponies may appear delicate, but in truth, they possess a powerful ability called the Utter Flutter, which allows them to blow away everything in their path by flapping their wings in a rapid speed. They are rarely seen, preferring to live in seclusion, usually in Flutter Valley. Honeysuckle, Morning Glory and Rosedust were the only notable ones in the first My Little Pony series. In the movie a lot of Flutter ponies are seen although they have no cutie marks and weren't produced as toys. In Bright Lights appear duplicates of Forget-Me-Not, Peach Blussom, Honeysuckle and Lily.

Seaponies/Baby Seaponies

The Seaponies are brightly colored seahorse-like creatures who dwell in the rivers and lakes of Dream Valley. They love underwater polo and can perform elaborate songs and dance numbers. They only appeared in the two Generation 1 Specials and they are based on the Hippocamp, a mythological creature shared by Phoenician and Greek mythology. A sub-line of the Seaponies called Baby Seaponies debuted later in 1985 and later in.

Princess Ponies

The Princess Ponies live near the Heart of Ponyland on a remote island, and use their wands to maintain the balance of Ponyland's magic. They each have a medallion symbol and wear a tall princess hat. They only appeared in The Quest of the Princess Ponies. Princess Tiffany is the best-known out of them.

Big Brother Ponies

The Big Brother Ponies were the only males in Dream Valley, and are all earth ponies. They return from a year-long race around the world at the beginning of Somnambula. They have hairy hooves and wear bandanas. Oddly enough, Quarterback is referred to as Score. Except for Knight Shade, they are the only male ponies to appear in series.

Baby Ponies

The Baby Ponies were ponies who were born from the reflections of their mothers. However several Baby Ponies never had their own mothers and had a lot of minor roles in several My Little Pony episodes.

Special Episode Ponies

These characters appeared only in Rescue from Midnight Castle and Escape from Catrina. They never appeared in series. Some of them have ruffled hair and horseshoes.
