100% baseless

I just see a headcanon and I think if its good enough or not.
 
I dont want to hear your darn details!  
>:(

@Trickquestion  
Hey, the Buffaloes were portrayed as a nice race, but other than that, you’re right there. But still that thing annoys me.
 
@QueenCold  
Its a pretty interesting idea I’ll admit. I just don’t like how it makes the ponies the only good ones in the world.
 
We need more Spike fan-theories!

@dreaper
 
That’s basically the show’s canon regarding other races. Non-ponies are either evil (natural dragons, changelings) or unfriendly and antagonistic (griffons and the one Minotaur). zebras and mules get a pass for being equine, of not pony.

@dreaper  
It should be possible to regress a creature into it’s egg-state.
 
But as I said before, this isn’t even the theory I’m really going with. I just put this idea out there, because I thought it’d be interesting and a nice topic to discuss.

I don’t like this theory. Is basically more of the “Ponies are good, other species suck” BS that I am seeing a lot from this fandom, and like most people here already said, we have seen Spike being hatched from an egg.
 
 
I came up with another theory:
 
What if Celestia, desperate to find a way to locate the new bearers of the Elements of Harmony, ends up taking the life of Spike’s parents just to get his egg. With that egg, Celestia will finally have a way to test unicorns magic to see wich one of them is powerful enough to be the new element of magic and thus, leading her to other elements as well. But Celestia never expected that Twilight could be powerful enough to hatch the egg.
 
In other words, Spike was used as a device to find the elements and his birth was a mistake.
 
(Yeah, probably too dark for the show…)
 
 
@QueenCold  
As a Spike fan, I would love to see him being more awesome and badass, but overpowered-magical-Spike is not the way to go. I think Spike will be a lot more awesome and badass if he overcomes villains by using his witts and common dragon powers alone.

I love this discussion, and I like this theory even more.

I think BP1 was being sarcastic

Well, as far as the whole ‘not turning into an egg’ thing i think that is possible.  
While it didn’t happen before in MLP it has happened in other universes, like Mario with Yoshi.

@Amber: Because it’s utterly impossible to magically regress something to an egg-state. That’s a rule of magic.

@Soundtea
 
The red dragon was relatively easily pursuaded. It doesn’t seem smart to age regress every single dragon that causes a problem.
 
@CottonTales  
Yeah, some bs about Spike being the son of a good magical dragon king and another story about spike controlling elements.
 
@TheAbridgenator  
Not really. King Piccolo put his soul in his son so he could live on after dying.

Nope,because We saw him being hatched in Cutie Mark Chronicles.
 
Just for that your theory is not plausible.
 
However,it’s not bad if you’re working on a plot for a Alternate Universe fanfic.

So King Piccolo?

I agree with Dumb Rock, but i can easily see this happening.

@Queen Cold  
Gary stu spike stories?

I find it kinda unnecessary as an idea, and somewhat amoral for Celestia to manipulate a creature’s life, no matter how evil it may have been.

@QueenCold
 
Still if she could age regress a dragon she would have solved Dragonshy easily.
 
It has some promise, but just couldn’t work in the show’s present canon.

@Soundtea
 
In chronological order:  
Spike is born, raised by dragons, grows up to be evil, causes trouble, princess casts age regression and memory erasing spells on him, twilight hatches him, the ponies raise him to be good.
 
Very far-fetched and extremely unlikely, but I thought it was a nice break from all the Gary Stu stories I’ve read about Spike lately.

Sure, why not. A better story idea than what I usually hear.

This honestly doesn’t make any sense.

Anyway, just throwing an idea out there, but it’s not what I’m going with either.

or not, yeah I’m going with not

@th8827 Which would still be possible if the princess used an age regression spell on him.

Or, what if he was hatched by Twilight, but Celestia gave him to her to prevent an otherwise inevitable future where he basically becomes Alduin?
