Well, I'm sure Rarity doesn't really mind having another outlet for the gems she finds that aren't jewelry grade. She might keep a boxful of them around for Sweetie to use in her papercrafts too.

Sea ponies would also be able to provide whale-oil, which makes for good lanterns. the blubber is also good eating if you live up north.

Also, based on the Map of Equestria

◊ it seems like Baltimare is the major trade hub. Though it could be the centre for the south and Manehattan for the north.

It's also noteable that on the map there's a rail line heading north of The Crystal Empire, which means the mountainous region up north would have to have some good stuff, too.

Pet kaiju are actually rather tragic. Ponies sometimes buy them as babies because they're adorable, but as soon as their teeth and nuclear breath attack start growing in, they flush 'em.

It was actually a pretty serious problem in Manehattan about ten years back. Fortunately, the things are like goldfish and only grow to the size of their environmnt, or the city animal control never would have gotten them all evicted. Personally, I'm just glad they got it fixed before I started going to school there.

'Evicted'? Where are they all now?

Is there like, a reserve or something? Also, if they grow to the size of their environment does that mean having more of them around causes them to be smaller?

@Kegi: No doubt Baltimare sees more Saddle Arabians and Manehatten sees more Gryphons. Living in the mountainsides gives Gryphons some opportunities to learn their rock-carving skills, which they eventually shared with the Earth Ponies, hence the more stone/concrete look of Manehatten.

They just released them into the ocean. And partially, yes, but in this case it had more to do with the size limitations of living in the sewer.

It would be cool to see some mor exotic creatures, like from Aztec or Sumerian mythologies asid from the pretty standard Greek. Though they get some cred for including Ahuizotl".

Roses are red, violets are blue.

I'm sorry to say, you've been eaten by a Grue.

A kaiju is for life, not just for Christmas.

#389634 Ace Of Scarabs Sat, 10th Aug '13 11:52:45 AM from Singapore

So the kaiju size limit might be something that Spike is experiencing?

If they have experience with Kaiju, you think they'd have performed a bit better than they did in "Secret of My Excess".

Who's Spike?

The kaiju in question were only about 4 feet tall, tops. If the one(s) you're referencing were much bigger than that, it's a whole other hoofball game.

@Ivy: Spike's Princess Twilight's little dragon assistant and adopted bro. He's a hatchling, but fairly mature for his age.

Yeah, over here, something doesn't qualify as a kaiju until it's the size of a building.

Ivyleague, you should pay Ponyville a visit sometime. It's on the border of the Everfree, and the Bearers of the Elements of Harmony all live there. They've all got some interesting first-hoof experience with the Everfree that would probably be relevant to your research.

And, since today is apparently National Jump To Conclusions Day...

Wait, does the Loch Ness Monster qualify as a kaiju? /random thought

Inb4 the homestuck version becomes far more popular.

Also, is that from the TVT Homestuck thread, or is it some other thread somewhere.

And Godzilla may or may not be a dinosaur (mutated by radiation) depending on which movie you're watching.

JPN Godzilla is a dino reborn in nuclear fire. US Godzilla is a mutant lizard and her son Zilla Jr from the TV series is a kaiju born true.

She may be a giant ugly monster, but Nessie's never attacked a city. She's an amateur kaiju.

She probably makes model cities out of cans and then trashes them for fun.

Also, is that from the TVT Homestuck thread, or is it some other thread somewhere.

Nessie's chill. Apparently my Grandma saw her once.

Then again my grandma was banished to Ireland, so she probably had a pretty out-there childhood in general.
