New creature makes me think of Jaquins like from Elena of Avalor.

@TheQuietMan
New creatures in mlp are extremely common. I wouldn’t overthink it

@Briarlight
But is she really a simple winged leopard or is she something more? Maybe there’s a whole race of winged leopards that for whatever reason Twilight was unaware of, Grogar’s creation that survived into this new era, someone similar to those Animalcorns from Pony Life, Opaline’s creation (with some lessons from Grogar perhaps) or a chimeric Cunabulan? She’s very brand new.

@TheQuietMan
She’s probably a servant to Opaline, one of the 2 she mentioned

Grogar even while long gone, still has an influential presence. He’s like Death, he’s not physical but he’s there. Point is, wasn’t there a Chimera who talks? Because that’s my impression of that winged leopard creature.

Yeah the first shots weren’t flattering but with time it’s shown that the animation has gotten better and overall her design is actually fine and not worth all the hullabaloo people gave her initially. Similarly I’ve always like that she is essentially a throwback to taking the series into “Saturday night cartoon” origins by being a reoccurring villain.

@CloudMistDragon
I liked her the moment I found out she did what no other villain could. I still like her, but I don’t want her to be the only g5 villain.

Awesome!!

So it is only a “rediscovered tribe” that came from the early Crystal Empire - the pictures of the buildings suggest that this is a settlement of recent date. Crystal ponies with horns have not been seen in the TV series of G4, but in the comics - especially Radiant Hope - it has been seen that these existed back then. These form a small minority in a poorly known society because the crystal ponies and the umbrum had a mysterious relationship with each other.

It is possible that the Wishing Star will appear in SoS, as the light shows in the sky as the music played showed a star that undoubtedly looked like the Wishing Star. There are quite a few star symbols, most based on Twilight’s cutie mark and power symbol which are two different marks. So the New Mane 6 and the crystal unicorns celebrate the same thing, the Winter Wishday.

Nothing to suggest “secrets” so far. 100% G5 lore.

It is possible that the Bridlewood unicorns had contact with these crystal unicorns, as it is possible that Misty’s mother may have been from this tribe - the design of her horn is unusual. All bridlewood unicorns have long and symmetrical, sharp horns reminiscent of those the Canterlot unicorns had in the previous generation. But Misty from the very beginning has an asymmetrical horn that is angular in several places. Not as angular as the horns on these new unicorns.

@CloudMistDragon
i think it too, the chapter one lighting didn’t do her design justice tbf

@WestRail642fan
Who here likes Opaline better than they used to? She’s honestly grown a lot on me and I’ve come to see her as a great villain.

wow, its been nearly 18 months since eggplant pone appeared

@🧡☮Starrscout☮🧡
It’s a flute.

> 3. Around the 1:10 mark, a pony’s eyes turn pink for a split second. Animation error?

The music video was cool!
1. That was NOT the voice I expected the purple one to have. I expected it to sound a bit more deep.
2. Wonder what the blue stick/staff thing she’s holding is for.

@Background Pony #D21D
Already saw a gif of them.

@🧡☮Starrscout☮🧡
Unless you count a new creature as spoiler.

@Background Pony #13BA
Can’t decide if I should watch it or not…does it contain as much spoilers as the Mane Family video did

@Shimmering Spectacle
it makes sense considering that g5 unicorns like crystals,
it could be that after the separation of the tribes the unicorns were divided between those who went to bridlewood and those who decided to go to the crystal empire(perhaps in search of magic) and ended up settling and uniting with the crystal ponies, which is why the crystal ponies became predominantly unicorns.

@Shimmering Spectacle
These aren’t crystal ponies. I am talking about the crystal pegasus guard.

@Shimmering Spectacle
I wasn’t talking about these ones.

@Shimmering Spectacle
Please don’t make me laugh. The crystal one is clearly a unicorn. This one doesn’t even have the same manestyle.
