And that is what we call ‘boring’. REJECT! STAMPS IT WITH BIG LETTERS REJECT!
I was mostly joking but you were talking about background characters having changing eyes so the example I gave still applies.
We’re not talking about a background pony that gets about as much attention as it’s supposed to receive. We’re talking about one of the main characters. Backgrounders can get wings and horns added pretty much at the click of a button, but some animator had to deliberately alter Dash’s model with bat wings, a batpony tail, and slitted eyes. (Or edit the batpony model with Dash’s ears, eye color, coat color, and build. Either way.)
@Agent Orange
I don’t argue that batponies don’t exist. Rainbow Dash is apparently the only normal pegasus who made the cut for Nightmare Moon’s personal guard, based on everyone else having ear tufts.
This.
I don’t get why people argue so much over the existence of batponies. Until it’s stated otherwise, it’s safe to assume they exist in canon. We’ve seen them. I find it difficult to accept 2 seconds of footage from any episode as solid proof as there have been many, many, many animation errors since the beginning. Derpy was an animation error, that was only made canon because of fanon.
Does that also mean ponies can randomly turn into alicorns as well?
It’s not explicitly stated, no. But in “The Crystal Empire - Part 1” the guard in the intro who told Celestia “it” had returned had standard-issue blue eyes as he ran in with his helmet on. When he took it off, they turned yellow. Now we see Dash’s eyes switch from slitted to normal when SHE removes her helmet.
Once could be an animation error. Twice is world-building.
It hasn’t.
But maybe she hasn’t been using the armor as long as the others.
But she lacks the ear tufts the other guards have, surely that would be part of the part of the enchantment too, has it been confirmed to be an enchantment?
In the screenshot Background Pony #D479 posted, her eyes are clearly slit-pupiled when she has the helmet on. It’s enchanted.
Stop stealing my ideas, Hasbro!
That’s correct, she’s the only non-batpony in the group. I’m just making the point that we’ve seen similar appearance-changing armor before on Celestia’s guards.
of guard its the first one you look at, considering the whole episode(s) are about changing timelines and paradoxes
She takes off her helmet & speaks, do you really think that adding tufted ears would make her any harder to identify than the haircut did?
It’s maybe so she is easy to identify
damn! already with animation errors? you guys work fast.
However her ears are normal pony ears instead of tufted:
(& this isn’t just a fluke, her ears are normal when they show her from the front too.)
It seems to me that they were trying to show that Rainbow Dash was at least slightly different from the other guards.
Of course that implies that there probably others, and eternal night would bring them out.
It is specifically stated in one of GM Berrows books that her two guards are the only known bat ponies.
Rainbow Dash doesn’t have the ear tufts though. She consistently has different ears from all the other guards.
