So, I wonder when griffons came about in the MLP universe. I mean, they are two parts of two separate species.

I read The Flight of the Alicorn. It's very good.

Well, flight school was prolly an international thing, which is why they met there. Zecorra is the only zebra around, so maybe zebras and griffons are from the same place.

Or... they could have separate homelands or something.

Oh yeah, Zecora. They need to make a Zecora's homeland episode.

I've heard multiple theories involving the griffon homeland. They're either a Communistic, oppressive country with a capitol of Stalliongrad, or a nation of surfer dudes, who're pretty lax and chill, brah.

I hope there's more on the world beyond Equestria in season 3.

Why would the griffin capital be named with a horse pun?

@Lurker Stalingrad? Soviet pun?

@Sky I know, but why would griffins have a city named with a horse pun?

@ Sky: Stalliongrad is a horse pun. Why would Griffins use it?

Fine, you come up with a Russian city griffon-based pun.

Because in Soviet Russia, puns make you!

How bout... Talongrad?

Or... St. Eaglesburg?

Not Russia, but how bout... Roarsaw?

I prefer a war-torn Poland version. I'm sticking with Roarsaw.

I don't know about you, but I would love to see an episode where the Cutie Mark Crusaders save the day.

Now, it might not sound feasible, because they are just fillies, and they haven't shown any combat potential so far. But...in "Hearth's Warming Eve", there were three ponies who tapped into the Fires of Friendship, which drove away Windigos. Maybe the CMC will get to tap into the FOF at some point? wink

By the way, there should also be an episode showing the griffin's homeland! smile

They could cause a disaster and then avert it, Jimmy Neutron style!

No, I mean, like, "save the world" level of disaster.

I'm not sure how the CMC could cause a "destroy the world" level disaster, though.

Well depending on your interpretation of Discord's release ...

They're the ones who accidentally freed Discord, right?

I'm pretty sure it was stated that Discord busted out because the elements weren't attuned to Celestia any more. If the only reason Discord broke free was because of the CMC fought in front of the statue, it's a miracle that he didn't escape earlier. There's no way that nopony else fought in front of that statue for a millennium. Not to mention that there's no other point where it even looks like Discord derives power from disharmony. He creates chaos, but there's no indication he feeds on it.

It always seemed to me that they fought like that because his power was seeping out and causing chaos around the statue.
