Parasprites are easy to deal with!? Given a sufficient food source to support their population, they breed about as fast as fucking bacteria.

They're more than a worthy threat for such a response as the creation of a purpose-oriented crisis relief organization. And Winter Wrap-up showed us just how they can organize.

You have a semi-competent one man band and parasprites become piss-easy to deal with

The parasprites are easy to do with if you know what to do. Out of everyone in Ponyville, only Pinkie Pie had the right idea. Given that Fillydelphia had to call in Princess Celetia to solve their problem implies that the parasprites are really pretty nasty.

And even the one-man-band thing didn't actually solve the problem, only make it go somewhere else. A more permanent solution is called for, I think. At the very least some sort of quarantine.

Yeah, this is an outbreak. It's happening n more than one place and they need to make a call right to the very top to help deal with it. Celestia can't be everywhere at once.

If Parasprites would show up in many places Celestria could cooperate Polka couterattack what could quicky stop this swarm and relocate it into wild places. And only way that kind infestation on long scale to be started it need some one take parastrites and take them outside of their ecosistem. But I can only imagine Femine Pony doing this.

They are like the others. Strange, hideous, resisting, fighting. Only these were not like the others. They did not die.

Wild places where they can feed and engorge their numbers to the point of being unstoppable by any means short of a tactical nuclear strike. They reproduce asexually, for all we know even one could restart the entire swarm. Besides, imagine the untold ecological damage driving them into the wild would do.

You could literally not come up with a more nightmarish scenario in the minds of ecologists. This creature is basically everything of what you do not want an invasive creature to be like all in one bundle. And they can fly, too, so there's no stopping them migrating.

I like the idea that the reason the town isn't usually bothered by an Ursa Major is that its natural prey is the Parasprite, and it spends every day sitting around inhaling truckloads of the little guys.

It is what goes in the mind, not the mind itself.... Okay a bigger bucket helps, but then you're going to need keep the bucket together long enough to fill it up, then keep it full for a good amount of time before it starts leaking

So yeah. There's actually a surprising level of justification for a pony peacekeeping organization like the Blue Helmets.

Wild places - places from where parasprites are coming. Full of parasprites eating animals (or plants), what fast reproduction of parasprites is not problem.

Or many other monster could prey on them.

If we're still talking about least favorite episodes, I'm gonna have to go with "Boast Busters."

It was kinda dull and I find Trixie extraordinarily grating.

Seshito from EQ seems to love Trixie a lot.

I always imagined the parasprites had natural predators, so they got eaten in the forest.

That, and remember that Twilight changed them so that they eat buildings and stuff, not real food. They could easily die from any bucket-born diseases they haven't immunized themselves to, or even of simple starvation when they can't find a house to live on. Considering that these things apparently need to eat constantly, I give them... three and a half hours.
