✨ MY LITTLE PONY CREATURE APPRECIATION POST ✨

They really gave us so many unique and fascinating designs that I honestly think are slept on

Some old My Little Pony plush I made. Dates ranging from 2012-2015.

Ahuizotl is a species of creatures that inhabit the deep waters and often prefer to feast on none other than unsuspecting fishermen and travelers, luring their victims with imitations of human speech or the cries of a baby.

they grow so fast [first form] [second form]

momochilin (momoxtli means popcorn in nahuatl)

swidden farming or "slash and burn" is a technique where in order to create a patch of arable land people cut down the vegetation in the are and then burn it so that the remains can help the harvest grow, this technique is very important culturally but it also has some awful consequences to the environment so theres been a push to convince people to stop using it [source 1] [source 2]

since chapuleaf is also a corn he became one with the flames and now has become popcorn, which covers him like a shield, and his wings move at such speed that it can now make kernels pop just by placing them near its wings, its also inspired partially by a locust

ahuixolot

the ahuizotl is a creature from mexican mythology, a creature that lives under the water and uses its long tail with a hand on the end to drag people and drown them, some times its described as a "water dog" and others as an actual semiaquatic mammal that might have gone extinct

xochilotl

Axolotls where once known to (and theres a small chance that they might still) inhabit the Xochimilco lake, a very popular lake in Mexico city, the main attraction is small boats known as trajineras used to travel trough the different canals of the region, this place also has quite a few chinampas and although its considered a natural reserve it faces a lot of problems with pollution due to being a popular location for tourists to visit

The Triple Alliance Tlatoque 

I was sketching the two remaining kings of the Triple Alliance, and decided to throw in Ahuizotl as well to have the three together.

The lords of Texcoco, Tenochtitlan, and Tlacopan, by 1493 CE.

And the way awhuizotl and garble were redeemed in season 9 didn't make any sense at all, since it contradicts things from the previous seasons

Oh yeah, that too. Just more to add to the pile, haha 😄 

I don't hate the idea of Garble being reformed, I just hate the execution. It was weird… I actually really like the idea of Garble and Spike being friends again :)

They said that he acted like a delinquent so he wouldn't get bullied by his friends, and he was peer pressured into it. You can say that about teenagers in real life.

I think it was supposed to be a contrast to Spike's character, because in Dragon Quest Spike almost succumbed to the same peer pressure but decided to be better, because of the positive influence his pony friends had on him.

The implication being that Garble succumbed to peer pressure because unlike Spike, he didn't have any positive influences at all, whether it be family, friends, etc.

But he has a really good relationship with Smolder, who never judged him or treated him harshly for being soft. So Smolder's existence as his supportive sibling doesn't make any sense when you think of the way he's acted the entire show.

I think a better idea for Garble's redemption is that it could've been a Cutie Map mission. Fluttershy and Spike could've been called to the Dragon Lands to solve a friendship problem that involved Garble. Not only because Spike and Fluttershy were the two main characters involved in that episode, but because it makes sense for it to be them.

Spike because he has more of a personal relationship with Garble than any of the others. Also Garble is technically the first dragon friend Spike ever made (until they fought), so wouldn't it be a fitting bookend for Spike to help turn Garble around and the two can be proper friends again?

Fluttershy because before she hated dragons (specifically older ones), but she learned to not be afraid of them. Garble hated ponies, so Fluttershy would've been a perfect 2nd choice to help redeem him.

I'm just throwing out ideas lol

The Ahuizotl one made less sense to me, because again they retconned what we've seen of the character in order to make him a misunderstood character. They said that Ahuizotl was protecting the artifacts of his forest from being stolen from Daring Do and Dr. Caballeron.

I actually like the idea of Daring Do taking the artifacts to be put in a museum being seen as bad by the jungle inhabitants, and I like the idea of Ahuizotl having more to him. But retconning Ahuizotl's character doesn't make much sense. 

In one episode, Ahuizotl tried to use the artifacts to cause a heatwave in the jungle for eight hundred years. Seems pretty evil. Maybe because he was created to make sure the artifacts stay in their place and do their intended job, he didn't see a problem with it? Idk.

Maybe they could've said that Ahuizotl was preprogrammed to act in this way? Idk

Uploading a teaser pic from the haunted and likely full of demons cellphone until I can scan again once the new laptop arrives. I am right now accepting freebie art at the moment to pass the time until the laptop is in my cursed Dolly hands. This teaser is for @azirtheshark

“Just a storm, kid.”

“Are we safe?”

“Sure.”

“P-Promise?”

“I promise, kid.”

Yea, so here we have Finnick’s higher form, an Ahuizotl. This monster is rumored to use the “hand” on its tail to drag victims to their watery deaths. For now, Finn’s using it as a shelter from the storm.
