I always found it kinda scary that there are creatures in Equestria that would literally freeze everything to death if conflict goes on for too long. A part of me wants them to be explored more but the show almost always shits the bed with that kind of thing. How would you do it?

Stop doing this DEEPEST LORE shit with a cartoon made for little girls.
>>30214904
>>30214904
Yeah! Now let's get back to talking about those cucksheds, hasdrones, and those fucking Barbiefags reeeeeee.
>>30214899
It's good incentive not to fight.

>complains about lore building
>first couple of minutes of the pilot was nothing but lore
How the fuck did you even get past friendship is magic part one? or are you one of these faggots of the fandumb who knowledge of the show extends only to meems and reaction images.
>>30214964
That's official lore building. This is going too deep. It's for little girls. You're over thinking things. All of you.
>>30214968
Why don't you go watch monster high or somethinf.
>>30214968
Go to bed, Jim.
>>30214968
Lauren Faust didn't make the show for people like you, go away and annoy some other fandom with your petulant whining.
>>30215017
This is what I'm trying to tell you people.
>>30214968
>this is going too deep
It's just a thought exercise for fun. Like anything done for fun there's not a point to it beyond speculation, it's like a game. Or a puzzle or riddle, similar appeal. No one is taking it too seriously like it's canon or reality. So what's got your panties in a twist? This is why people complaining about death battle crossovers look about just as pathetic as the people they complain about. We get it. You're creatively bankrupt and can't have fun with things beyond what is presented to you. Fine, fine then go back to your Glimmer hate thread #900 or is it some super serious fanfic general? But before you start whining be aware that you're on an 18+ website with an entire board dedicated to a show for little girls. You're already in the Mariana trench, guy.
>>30215019
Your objectively wrong, all your dreams will end in failure and no one will ever morn your passing, Now fuck off.
>>30214968
>wondering more about a creature from the show is going too deep
Damn nigga how you make it through Lost Treasure of Griffinstone?
>>30214899
Are they related to those fleshgait types you hear about on 4chan all the time?
I'd say they're ancient evil spirits which possess ponies who've committed cannibalism, turning them into monsters.
I'm not sure you could without an extended conflict of some kind. You probably can't do that with a two parter since it would feel rushed. They're a menace of the past and a hard lesson learned that shaped entire cultures. It's no wonder that Equestria is a much more peaceful place when it comes to ponies dealing with ponies. When your options are literally peace or death there's only one smart move.
I guess you could introduce a new continent in the unknown northern region and make a kingdom that still hasn't learned after all this time. If you want to get cheeky you could make them not ponies, fat chance cause this is to sell toys at the end of the day, but a stubborn and hardy race resilient to the harshest of winters.
>How would you do it?
I wouldnt, not enough time in an episode to properly do them justice.
A Beastaria of Equestria would be fun though.
"Windigoes grow stronger from conflict, which in turn create a harsher winter and subsequently promotes more potential conflict due to reduced resources." is basically all we know about them so there's definitely room for additional fluff with this concept.
It could be they are the same sort elemental spirit as Timber wolves, only through snow and ice rather than forests.
>Windigo, Spirit Beast.
>The windigo cannot be harmed or harm through physical means, but can induce extreme cold in order to promote conflict between sapients in order to feed from the emotional energy expended.
>Known weaknesses are strong feelings of companionship in order to starve them of energy, along with intense magical fire to drive them off, combining the two methods into the mythical "Fire of Friendship" is a symbolic ritual performed annually in Equestria otherwise known as Hearthswarming.

Fuck off, Lee

Indeed

I've always wondered: how is it that our janitor inherited a name from a character in Futurama? Any olds know the story there?
>>30214899
the frozen north is still very clearly under their domain to some extent since its supernaturally cold.
you also saw the future equestria would have had if clover the clever and friends didnt drive them away by whats shown in hearthswarming tail
