Source : My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic
Characters : Luna and a bunch of fancharacters.
Backdrop : This was so horribly annoying to do, but the idea didn't get out of my head.

I'd be surprised if we ever saw Luna's guard again, let alone if we get an answer on why they're so different. My pet theory is that they're the nocturnal version of daytime pegasi, which led to thinking up dark earth ponies and unicorns as well. Most of these characters were made up as I went along; I ended up with a magic concept of why they've got physical differences greater than just cutie marks, explanation for why they're hardly heard of, names off course and other useless story stuff that I'll probably never use. Making it up though was more fun than working on the image.

backstory idea:

gorgens:(or curse unacorns) thare magic talent is always is always harmful, such as blight, fire or sickness if not used can be painful. thay tend to have reptilian feathers.
morlocks:(dark earth ponys) live underground, amazing diggers, have hard skin.

Not quite what I had in mind for the unicorns; if their magic is always harmful, the title wouldn't make much sense. The underground ones though, yeah, pretty close.

"I'd be surprised if we ever saw Luna's guard again"
I was in fact just about to tell you how cool that you drew them and that I wish they would show them again. maybe they where just something she conjured? like the spiders?
