I assumed that Equestria, being full of friendship and love, was "saturated" with love. The Changelings were going to move in and soak up the love.

Oo er missus.

@crowlover: Thanks! Katarra? Didn't think of that!

And yeah, a Hive Mind doesn't fit the behaviour we've seen.

wild mass guess Totally for the sake of wild mass guess, Changelings' true form is utterly useless in combat. What we saw were them immitating another race that they've already driven to extinction!

Yeah, unlikely, but I felt like sharing.

The two disguised changelings feed on each other's love for years before they realize what happened.

By the way, they have a kid now. They're calling her Kneesh.

My other headcanon is that only the more powerful changelings can hold up their shapeshifting for long periods of time; the drones can do it temporarily, but they couldn't do what the Queen did; otherwise they'd have just all shapeshifted into ponies and snuck into Canterlot for the wedding. Or just infiltrated Equestria without needing a big attack on the capital to begin with.

That'd justify why there wouldn't be as many already in the town.

I think that the changeling capture ponies and put them in those cocoon things, which turn them into changelings. What else were they doing to Celestria?

I wonder how intelligent the average changeling is. They seem to understand English pretty well, being able to speak it and understand it.

They seem to be average inteligence. They did seem to go after the guards first after all, and they got fustrated at Pinkie pie.

Well, we did learn that changelings don't seem to have a way to distinguish there changed selves from the genuine pony. You'd figure that a species that can shape shift, they would have a way to figure out who's real and who's fake.

Perhaps they did relise that it was the real FS, but they didn't attack as she wasn't a threat, while the other ponies were more dangrous.

Actually, now I do seriously wonder if changelings can feed of their love for each other. (Granted, that's assuming they have feelings at all.)

Unfortunately, I won't be able to stick around for the answer, because I am going. Now. To bed.

@Purple Dalek Depends only if we see more of them. If some are shown to be good then no, if not yes.

@Purple: Hard to say. It's kind of hard to see a species that apparently feeds off of love as being non-evil, but we really don't know enough about them to really say. Maybe there are good, butterfly-like changelings out there somewhere.

If they had asked nicely, Celestia might have let the Changelings stay in Equestria.smile

Even if changelings can feed of each others love, doesn't mean they do. Techically, I can eat anouther human, but I wouldn't do that.
