The show ''[http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/My_Little_Pony_Friendship_is_Magic My Little Pony Friendship is Magic]'' places the ponies in the "magical land of [[Equestria]]". In the ''Equestria Girls ''franchise, ponies played a minor role since it's a spin-off where it focus on their human counterparts, but the toy franchise still featured ponies as a reference to the original series.

In the show, ''[http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/My_Little_Pony_Friendship_is_Magic My Little Pony Friendship is Magic]'' divides ponies into three main "types" in the first episode: '''Earth ponies''', '''Pegasi''', and '''unicorns'''. Previous ''My Little Pony'' generations included flutter ponies and breezies as well as sea ponies. Most, however, are absent from the ''Friendship is Magic'' series. But the powers of the Alicorns draws equally from these five (and three main) types:

The main cast of the franchise features two girls with a Pegasi counterpart: [[Rainbow Dash]] and [[Fluttershy]].

The My Little Pony brand describes its characters as ponies. The brand's toys, as the name suggests, usually consist of small colorful plastic ponies. The characters on the various My Little Pony television shows and movies are depicted with varying degrees of fantasy elements, like the ability to speak, fly, and use magic.


Pony types

My Little Pony Friendship is Magic divides ponies into three main "types" and other two types in the first episode: Earth ponies, Pegasi, and unicorns.

Earth ponies

Earth ponies don't have Pegasus wings nor unicorn horns, and therefore most closely resemble real ponies. They are the kind first introduced by the My Little Pony brand. The main cast of the show Friendship is Magic features two Earth ponies: Applejack and Pinkie Pie.

Pegasi

Pegasi, or "Pegasus ponies", are ponies with wings and flight abilities – in the fashion of the legendary Pegasus. Pegasi can usually fly andinteract with clouds. The main cast of the show features two Pegasi: Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy.

Unicorns

Unicorns feature a magical horn on their foreheads, and usually have magical abilities. They are always called "unicorns" in the show, but the wiki also uses the term "unicorn ponies" for consistency with "Pegasus ponies" and "Earth ponies", since unicorns are also a type of pony. The show's main cast initially features two unicorns: Rarity and Twilight Sparkle, but Twilight gains wings in Friendship is Magic episode "Magical Mystery Cure", thus becoming an Alicorn.

Alicorns

Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and Princess Cadance are the commonly known Alicorns for both series, aside from Twilight Sparkle. This meant that Twilight was now able to harness the magical powers of the unicorns, the flight abilities of the Pegasi, and the strength of a good, true heart of an Earth pony.

Crystal Ponies

Crystal Ponies appear more "faceted" and "glittery" through a magic that links them with the Crystal Heart–this appearance carries on to all episodes that include the Crystal Ponies.
