We have maybe five or six memorable dragons in the whole series, including Crackle. Only Spike, Ember, and Smolder are really worth remembering. Three memorable hippogriffs, maybe four if you count Terramar (I think that remains to be seen). Four griffons, three changelings whose names we’ve ever had to remember (one of whom is Queen Chrysalis), and two named yaks (three counting Pink Pony who is honorary yak). Out of hundreds, who’s going to remember one more fairly nondescript earth pony colt? (Who was the last memorable one? Tender Taps?)
Tfw you’re the only non-unique species at the school in your group of friends, plus you’re the straightman/glue that holds the group together, so their fans have the toughest time remembering your name.
