MLP:FiM: Where are the Non-Pony "OC"'s?

[@2vectors708]

also of note, non-pony characters in the show are often shown in a negative light, tirek, iron will, gilda, changlings, diamond dogs, dragons... i also think it should be noted that most of these have been almost exclusively male as well...

[@pearlyp9898]

That's a very good point.

[@Kairos_Akuma]

That and a Bad-turned good OC to function ( as in most RPG who baddies a nor wellrecieved etc) is boring oo'

[@meowpoint1403]

However, there is Thorax--a good male changeling, and Zecora---a good female zebra. Also Chrysalis and Gilda are female and Spike is a dragon and he is good.

[@obbyalana6534]

meow point1 Don't forget Discord (who reformed)!

[@2vectors708]

Alana's Life i don't really view discord as a race, more an individual character

[@chaos55t]

My theory is that: If the species uncommon or rare, the fans don't want to disturb the nature of making it common or more used. For me, I crated a wolf pony hybrid, and created a story behind the hybrid origins. if any non-pony species was canonly common, the fanbase would want to use them, and have a good reason for their oc to be in equestria.

[@mothy6738]

I love his Game Theory references XD

[@hariman7727]

They're cute, but I'm glad that he lampshaded that he was overdoing it with the last one.

[@danielledoeswhat]

It's kinda hilarious that the Film/Game Theory intro became a bit of a meme. Good thing MatPat doesn't mind. Much. I don't think? Maybe?

[@lillyanaduff3864]

LOL

[@nikibogwater6598]

I can't speak for everyone on this, but I know that I chose a Pony OC because I have more knowledge on the Pony culture than any other species presented in the show. Since the show focuses primarily on ponies, we get to see more of what their daily life is like, what kinds of morals they uphold, and what sorts of things have cultural significance to them. It's a lot easier to come up with a character that can be placed in an already-existing way of life, instead of coming up with an entirely new one yourself. Plus, for lack of a better word, it's safer. If the show were to suddenly expand on Griffon culture, for example, it could mean that a key element to a Griffon OC's backstory, personality, etc. would no longer be canon-friendly. With ponies, it's much easier to stay in canonical context, and it's unlikely that your entire character will fall apart in the future because of a huge cultural revamp. But that's just my reasoning, and it could be completely wrong. :P

[@ariskyes5384]

Claire I. There's also people who make their own background on non pony culture that's actually very legit. My friend created a pony changeling hybrid that has such an immense past it's amazing! The only fanfic currently posted online, that character is unfortunately kinda a side character/secondary character and her backstory isn't touched on, but the changeling culture that my friend created is so extensive and I'd say accurate based on insects 😄

[@dog007awg7]

Don’t worry, after this video there will be so much ,,not pony OC” 😆

[@waitwhat2691]

Your pc doesn’t have to be cannon! It’s your own character, make whatever you want

I used to be a pegasus, This video made me turn into a griffon Im very happy with my decision.

[@drowningmachine_]

_I have an OC of one of the most overlooked species, manticore_

[@eristiamat]

Manticores are awesome. Though mlp screwed them up since it would look weird to have a humanoid face in a mlp universe. I thought of making mine a manticore too but then remembered how disappointed I was in the mlp design of them. Looked more like a chimera.

[@drowningmachine_]

_Since my OC is a female character, she had no mane, so her design is different..._

[@thecheekysiren8971]

Chromatica Brah. Mine is an empusa. A monster form Greek mythology that has an body of a beautiful woman. A leg of a donkey. A prosthetic leg made of bronze. Seduces and eat men.(In this case stallions.) Drinks their blood and eats their flesh. While being a servant of Hecate. But.. the twist is she wasn't born one. She was turned into one and can go back to her Pegasus self after working off labors in order to repay the debt she owes for Hecate saving her life. She also doesn't eat or seduce stallions, that's just gross. She simply kills animal and does uses that.

[@maxwellsmith253]

You have officially made this the most productive day of my life. I spent half the day watching your videos, (but wait! there's more!) and after I stumbled across this video, I thought to myself, "Well,,, I have had an idea for a couple ocs lately," So, there we have it, the birth of my children: Bogdan the dragon, Faulkner the Griffin, and Gaviil the zebra. These are most likely the most thought-out and absolutely adorable ocs I've created in a long time, and I thank you for inspiring me to make them! I look forward to watching more of your videos!

[@Tyandaga]

+Maxwell Smith Yayy! :3

[@Tabieeee]

I've been designing my hybrid (Sphinx) OC for a long time but still wasnt happy with it because I thought that if I show it to people, they will start hating because its too unique. Thats one of the reasons I think theres so little non-pony OCs around. Other reason could be that people just dont realise that they can be more creative about their OCs so they just stick to usual Unicorn/Pegasus/Earth.

[@gracediaclearskies3699]

My main OC is half-Deer... And I have a Griffon OC. Does that count?

[@Tyandaga]

+Gracedia Clear-Skies x3

[@mothman27w]

I have a non pony oc it's a wolf,dragon,and snake

[@candlewicke5769]

my oc is a unicorn but kinda a spirit at the same time..

[@lillytheoutsider2618]

I had a character I called, SnakeNeck, I just used them for jokes but they had a neck that stretched on and on...

[@liizs2863]

My OC is based off of a character in the book that I am currently writing. She is technically the same character but just living in a parallel universe (Equestria). She (like the original character) is half dragon. So since she's originally from a book (of my own making) there's been A LOT of thought put into her backstory, personality, appearance, etc. However, her name could be better (since she's in an alternate universe, her name is not the same). My profile name is the same as the character from my book, but my OC's name is Ember Flametongue....

[@ryesaac]

Loved this video! And your not alone with having a non-pony oc! As, my main oc is a deer (finding drawing refrences for it was terrible!). Love all your videos and look forward to seeing more of them in the future!

[@Tyandaga]

+Evening Ghost :333

[@The_Dragon_Boi]

I think that there aren't many OC's out side of the main three categories because any thing outside of that is considered OP changelings can turn into any thing they want and that zebras can make OP potions other species could be considered the same

[@raylenerose2918]

Tyandaga if you wanted to meet a non-pony OC you should have looked in Australia! My OC is a windigo (pretty random for a windigo to be in Australia LOL) her name is swift wind. She didn't like feasting off of anger like her sisters and brothers though so she left her herd and found a cave near the changeling hive. But one day her hunger took over when she could sense anger in the changeling hive she rode the clouds and made her way to the hive, but as soon as she got there she saw a massive explosion of love (from Thorax's transformation.) When she saw the first site of a reformed changeling she was never the same, she swore she would never feast on anger again. As she flew back to her cave she saw a crystal shard from the queen's throne had landed in her cave. When she put one hoof on the shard a blizzard swerlled around her and when she looked at the reflection on her cave walls she was amazed. She had been transformed into a Pegasus. From that day on she lived in ponyville telling no one her secret (but she stills rides the clouds as a windigo from time to time.) But one day she hopes she can find a friend and tell him/her her dark secret.

[@ThalkorthePyromaniac]

I have an earth pony oc who willingly cursed herself to become a dragon-pony hybrid in order to gain the power to leave a mark on the world. I'd considered making her a draconequus, but I didn't want people thinking I was trying to rip off Discord's design.

[@Gibbontake]

I think it's a lot simpler than you're making it seem. The show we all watch has ponies in it and we like the ponies. therefore we like to have pony ocs Not everybody likes the griffons or the other species in the show but EVERYONE likes the ponies because if they didn't they wouldn't be watching, as ponies make up the vast majority of the characters.

[@Tyandaga]

Gibbontake Well that's probably the best point, and sort of what I hinted on ;p. I wanted to try to provide other theories as well, to get more of an all around picture of "why?" But yes, it is for the most part a generally simple answer xD.

[@stephnabee]

+Tyandaga I have a dragon, does that count? The dragon is sort-of like spike, but a grown -up spike, with his ponylike ways. She has a light blue body and wings, eyes purple, and white spines on her back. Her name is Wind Wing, hope it's not anyone else's name, cuz That's my Non-Pony OC's name.

[@AutisticallyPaige]

I have several mlp ocs A Unicorn called Destiny Dazzle (She's a Visual Kei singer, and she modified her already useless horn (She never really figured out how to use magic) into a changeling horn, She also has a pet tame timberwolf called Bark) A Griffin called Grace, Her personality is similar to Treehugger and her colours are like a more un-saturated version of Gabby A Fox called Little Paws, She can communicate like the ponies, except she has a lisp like Twist. She also has a cutiemark-like marking of a pawprint on her side (But it's not actually a cutiemark)

[@ruinedsketchbook]

My theory is since we don't see the non-pony characters in the show, we have learned less about them and their anatomy. We know that Changelings feed on love and transform into any pony, Griffons are, well, Griffons, and Zebras seem to be near extinct in the MLP world. Perhaps this is why we lack those OCs. If you'll excuse me, I need to find backstory for a Changeling and Griffon OC.....

[@Appalachiosaurus22]

Can I make a T. rex OC? Is that allowed?

[@Kartoffelkamm]

+Appalachiosaurus22 tecchnically yes, but if u want him to interact with the mane six, u might think of a better reason for him to do so than "Twilight f*cked up a time spell and now theres dinosaurs everywhere". :)

[@thewolf8660]

+Hidden Shadow might I suggest time boom (watch justice league: the flashpoint paradox) that made it to where a select few dino's survived.... yeeeaahh...I'll be going now *nerd walks away*

[@t.rexking441]

Appalachiosaurus22 That is exactly what my OC would be if it isn't a pony and I have some of a backstory and reason he is there

[@MadMunchkin]

This is a subject that will be covered by myself and a certain hyppogryph soon. nGreat job. x

[@NelsonDemifur]

Try not to blow him up.... too much. Both my oc's don't like the smell of burnt feathers

[@Tyandaga]

Nelson Demifur I think the smell of burnt feathers is unpleasant for most 0.0

[@theautobrat]

this is funny i just had a conversation with lethalAuraMage not long ago about this very subject

[@AgentCAW]

Tyandaga Unless you're a dragon like myself, you get used to the smell of burning things, especially when a dragon sneezes.

[@bluekittyyoyo6592]

In the show, ponies are much more simple in design, and easy to copy. (This is also why we see so many bad OC's- because they're just easy to make.) Once you get outside the realm of ponies, it takes a bit more effort in the elements of design, creativity, and more likely, artistic abilities. A simple pony is relatively easy to draw for the average Joe, rather than say, a griffin or a dragon.

[@gayasurus8322]

(I have a Llama OC) I think there are less non-pony OC's because Ponies are more on the 'good' sode of the show. And with all of the other non-pony OC's showing either a) bad traits or b) bad personalities, you would think that ponies are a more appropriate choice than say, a manticore or changling. Also, ponies are more ashtetically (?) pleasing to a) look at and b) draw. And if you want someone to draw your (eg; Llama) OC, they might not be able to draw it.

[@swiftstar19284]

*_I have a pheonix Oc named Calcifer_* Edit: I also have a Hypogriff of named Theodosia -har har Hamilton, I named her before I knew what the Broadway show was-

[@caspianwolfspirit2128]

My OC is a gryphon at the moment, but I want to make it a Timber Wolf!!! WWWWAAAAIIIITTTT!!!!! I NEED TO GET MY SKETCH BOOK!!!!

[@buddyboog6661]

my oc is a hippogriff, exept her front end is a pony and her back end and wings are the griffin parts (she also has a beak and a normal pony tail)

[@kyypris]

I have a non-pony oc. It's kinda like a reindeer but not. She has straight horns and they don't have extra branches. And she has a dear tail. But her colors are browns, greens and pink. I also have another one who is a changling who takes the form of a pony because she doesn't like living as a changling.

[@Your_Future_Overlord]

I have a non-ponysona. Well, they're kind of a pony, but kinda not... They're a canrussetuus. It's a mythological creature I created based on the twisted fusion of pony, bat, goat, and wolf. Basically the only one anyone has ever created. If that's not unique, I don't know what is. I think people choose ponies as their OCs so they have a feel of being canon in a way. I know people who have created OCs specifically so they can live as the dominate race on earth, or in this case, Equestria. Maybe there are more pony OCs out there because of how "dominate" they are in the show. Basically, I believe humans choose to make things based on how populous, easier or dominate the object is. In this case, it would be ponies. They go for something everyone else does so they aren't that "odd-one-out", which I apparently have. I mean, come on, it's a flipping Frankenstein over here! But hey, that's just a theory. A Random Commentor's MLP Non-Pony OC Theory! Thanks for viewing. XD

[@guardianofloyalty7025]

Tyganda, I see your point. There really isn't many non-pony ocs, and the theories you came up with I completely agree with. I'm thinking of possible making a zebra oc, one because I don't see many zebra ocs, and two because I can make my oc even more unique. Though it will be hard because I'm not entirely sure how I will draw it. Drawing non-pony ocs are hard and take a lot more time possibly than regular ponies. But I'm willing to take that challenge! Anyways, I really think that people should start making more ocs that are not ponies, I'm not saying exclude ponies entirely, but it would be good to have more of a balance between pony and non-pony ocs.

[@galaxybun8775]

I loved the "technical derpycolties" part. It's super cute and super funny at the same time. Also I like how you paid tribute to matpat.

[@HolidayTheLeek]

Well, the only reason why I picked a pegasus OC is because I preferred the look aesthetically, and I really just like Pegasi. I could've picked unicorn, but I don't really know how to tie it in with something I like... Though, that said, I do like griffins and hypogryphs.

lillie farmer I can see it on u'r profile I like it, it looks very cool

[@pbb1bb131]

What I think is that the reason that people don’t make non-pony oc’s is because they’re afraid of risking the chance to making a mary sue.it’s like alicorns, Alicorns are rare and so are non-ponies in the show. So if everyone were to start making non-pony oc’s then the rare title that they have will go away and they would become mary sue-ish. But hey, thats just what I think

[@darlene59]

I think mainly that it takes alot of work to create a non pony oc, people just don't do it. My oc is a changing pony hybrid that is the daughter of Crisalis. And that took alot of theories.

[@baltazarmenes8349]

Im an changeling oc cuz they are less used

not to mention people ocs

[@XYZ_is_taken]

My OC is complicated I look like a pony however I am pure chaos and can be anything however I have 0 control over the power it just prevents me from being dead permanently Edit: I’ll show It on KZbin soon hopefully

[@RetroKitty83]

here's what i think (bare with me i only just turned 16 this month and i'm practically illiterate so i might not be able to word this properly) I believe at least one of the reasons people don't have non-pony ocs as much as they do pony ocs, is because they want to keep things cannon. Since we don't see or hear about griffons, zebras, changelings, ect as much as we do ponies in the show we know less about those species. I suppose that a good majority of people don't want to make assumptions on the species that have shown, or might show up in the future of mlp. but there can be other, more personal reasons too though such as simple preference and playing favorites. i just think that my statement before could be a pretty big factor. As for me I have quite a few normal mlp pony ocs, but I also have a WINGLESS griffin, a ROBOT pony, a BAT pony, and a deer filly (hopefully i spelled everything above correctly)

[@industrialpanic]

[@dracowulfalphyn5503]

I'm an Alphyn a wolf - creature with the fore-legs of a dragon, a scaly under belly, a long knotted tail, and large pointed ears. l would also like to introduce a peryton as an OC idea. Peryton- a deer like creature with wings and the hind-legs and tail feathers of a bird. Some perytons are evil and hide within herds of deer so that they can trick hunters and eat them. But I think that some perytons might be vegan so don't worry.

In my theory, everybody thinks the most powerful creature is through the main three without thinking of other creatures that make the downsides. My creature is my profile pic. An -curious creature- that hardly makes an impression out of what is being looked at. Take this and replace it with -eye- ideas- becuase u would look at things with IDEAS! Anyways if u have a different oc i would like to know :3 good video

[@justanotherbrony412]

30:40 the only problem there is that anY (the one with a black open vest and glasses) is a changing as seen in his collab with the brony notion.

Looks like someone has watched too much Game Theory!!

[@Tyandaga]

WolfSpirit Well, just enough of it, at least ;p

[@jamesmichaelmorgan]

Tyandaga You can watch too much game theory. You can never watch too much game theory.

[@abrielrotzler6009]

I'm a changeling.

[@werewolf478]

In all honesty, I'm really hoping they show some deer characters within the show. I mean come on!! Obviously there can be royalty within the deer population. Or hell, maybe elk, alpaca, or something! Because I've been thinking about how they can do other characters other than ponies all the time. I mean yeah, it is called "My Little Pony" for a reason, but some variety would be nice XD

[@mjangelvortex]

There were some deer in the comics so hopefully some can appear in the actual show.

My OC is like a hipogrif instead of a bird it's mostly a wolf with wings... But I wanted to make it relate to MLP so I just stuck a bunch of horse for the legs... Confusing yes. But it relates to what I do. Wolf=AJ Wings=something Horse/pony=MLP and the best part is its unique I don't think I will EVER see an OC like that... But it's good because everyone is different and everytime I draw my OC it turns out better and since there are so many parts to it, I learn so much in one drawing.... I would have never thought I could make realistic or 3D art at the age of ten, considering I only really started to draw on February this year but I did it!!! So my OC helps me with things is unique and it's backstory is me!!!

[@wildheartevermore626]

i think that no one wants an oc other than the three pony types because then they will feel different, like me I'm an aileron but i have zebra stripes. and people think that my oc looks weird because of it p.s i also have one blue eye and another brown eye and i have a scar p.p.s sorry for my bad punctuation and grammar

[@Lynxan]

I think that there's a couple of other factors too. Many other animals in general are in the show, but there fully animal rather then being anrthoed some. Take for example Angel bunny or any of the critters that Fluttershy takes care of. If if you wanted a OC that is a rabbit, you'd have to explain that extra leap of explanation that many just don't want to go into.

[@Tyandaga]

+Lynxan It's a magical world full of wonder and mystery, it wouldn't be too big of a leap to make that happen ;p

[@corbinjones3086]

probably because they aren't explored deeply enough but I do have multiple non pony ocs (or ones that are not in the main 3 types) that when I don't have enough info for a say..skeleton MAKE A HEAD CANNON! oh and the two I use the most is a one of a open species and a changeling.

[@hazyskyproductions4207]

This video was posted a while ago and now we see a LOT of other creatures. I think I will change my OC to a Hipprogriff. There are still a LOT MORE pony OCs than other creatures. And I love the creativity of your OC. YOu decided to have a deer OC even before there were deer on the show.

[@x..x2667]

lamo the edited matpat intro XD nice one! I love puns!
