Discord is a draconequus and the spirit of chaos and disharmony.

Background

Discord is the living spirit of chaos, appearing as a creature with of the head of a pony and a body of all sorts of other things. Back in the ancient times, Discord ruled over Equestria and caused chaos anywhere he wanted. It took the combined forces of Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and the Elements of Harmony to turn Discord into stone and end his tyranny. However, thousands of years later, his petrified body was cracked, releasing him once more. Discord corrupted the new wielders of the Elements, the Mane Six, to ensure he would not be petrified once more, but the magic of their friendship proved to be too powerful, and he was stopped once again. This would have been the end of Discord, but Princess Celestia attempted to redeem him by having Fluttershy befriend him. This plan almost failed, as during an emergency, Discord promised to help only if Fluttershy promised to never use her Element again, but Discord broke his part of the deal. In turn, Fluttershy renounced their friendship, and Discord felt genuinely bad for having betrayed the only friend he ever had, so he actually ended up helping and started using his magic for good "most" of the time. He became a genuine friend of Fluttershy, but ONLY Fluttershy, and he was partially tamed, but not redeemed. That was, until he betrayed Equestria by helping Lord Tirek steal all magic, which, to his shock, also happened to include Discord's own magic. He was devastated, full of remorse, and finally understood the folly of his actions. Discord felt so bad, he gave Twilight the last thing he had left, a trinket, which ended being the key to Tirek's defeat. Having realized the true importance of friendship, Discord became an accepted member of Ponyville and a genuine force of good, albeit one that still causes occasional chaos.

Alternate Forms

Grogar

Long before the show's events, Grogar was a treacherous tyrant who took over the land of Equestria, until he was stopped by Gusty the Great, who rid him of his most prominent magic by stripping his Bewitching Bell away from him, banishing him elsewhere. During Season 9 of the show, Discord impersonated Grogar, and gathered Lord Tirek, Queen Chrysalis, Cozy Glow, and King Sombra, under the pretense that they together can ultimately defeat the Mane 6 with their efforts and teamwork combined. However, in reality, he just wanted Twilight Sparkle to gain more confidence by defeating them, with himself as a safety net if she should need it. While portraying as Grogar, Discord put on a serious and frightful demeanor that was enough to intimidate the other villains into submission. He claimed to be extremely patient and cunning, having awaited for thousands of years to take his revenge and is willing to work with other villains just for a chance to pull it off. Despite this claim, however, he was unable to tolerate his team bickering with each other, so he sent them on a mission to reclaim the real Grogar's Bewitching Bell in order to teach them to work together. When they claimed to have failed this mission, he only showed anger for a brief moment and then was pleased that they finally got their act together. He also will not tolerate disobedience, as he refused to bring back Sombra after the latter turned his back on him and used his death as an example to coerce the other villains into compliance. Unlike the majority of villains in the series, "Grogar" does not underestimate the Mane Six and acknowledges their teamwork as the key to their success. However, despite his seeming distrust of his cohorts, "Grogar" was gullible enough to believe their story that they failed to retrieve the Bewitching Bell, and was surprised when his cohorts turned on him and revealed that they had the bell all along.

• Fear Empowerment: According to legend, Grogar grows more powerful with fear, which explains why he created monsters to terrorize the land.
• Intimidation: To compliment his ability to absorb fear energy, Grogar is capable of intimidating even powerful individuals such as Tirek and Chrysalis into serving him.
• Longevity: Grogar is an ancient creature that has lived for over thousands of years, to the point where even incredibly old individuals like Lord Tirek thought he was just an old legend.
• Magic: Grogar is an extremely powerful magic-user. He used to rely on his magical bell before it was taken from him, but he has since adapted without it. Even a small sample of his magic was enough to empower Tirek into a form he took when he absorbed the magic of several unicorns.
  • Monster Creation: Grogar created many abominable beasts to aid in his rule over Equestria. It is unknown if he could actually control them or not.
  • Clairvoyance: Grogar can use his crystal ball to see and watch over anything or anyone in Equestria.
  • Teleportation: Grogar can summon anyone he wishes to his fortress from anywhere in Equestria, from the deepest reaches of the Everfree Forest to even the magically-sealed Tartarus, or he can send them away else-where like when he sent King Sombra to the Crystal Empire when he refused to work for him.
  • Necromancy: Grogar is also capable of bringing the deceased back from the grave, as he did with Sombra.
  • Telekinesis: Grogar can use telekinetic constructs of yellow-black energy to bind his victims, as he with his minions when they continued to bicker.
  • Energy Blasts: Grogar can shoot a large beam of dark energy from his horns that can blow a hole in the wall.

Feats

Strength

• Discord casually uprooted a large tree from the ground as though it were made of styrofoam in the episode, "Three's A Crowd".
• Discord sent Doctor Whooves flying high and far into the air with a single kick (IDW comics).
• Was able to casually move the Sun and Moon.
• Took a big rock out of the ground with just one arm.
• When impersonating Grogar...
  • A small sample of his magic rejuvenated Tirek into his second form, which he previously only attained after absorbing a great amount of unicorn magic.
  • Slammed his front hooves on the ground so hard his lair trembled upon hearing that the Legion of Doom seemingly failed to retrieve his bell.

• Effortlessly snapped away King Sombra's attacks.
• Stated that his power can rip the very fabric of reality, and on another occasion exclaimed that his power can warp all of reality as well.
• With Discord's powers, Pinkie Pie could've transformed the entire universe into icing (what that meant for the laws of physics is anybody's guess...)!
• Stronger than Celestia, who could move multiple stars!
• CAN OBLITERATE THE 4TH WALL!
• He's basically at the top of the My Little Pony's power tier list, even compared to:
  • The alternate reality threat, the Pony of Shadows, who could overrun all existence in the multiverse given enough time!
  • His ex-partner, Cosmos, who's literally Malice incarnate, with identical powers, whom Discord sealed away in the stars!

Speed

• Has outsped Princess Luna, who flew from the moon to Equestria as fast as possible, arriving to Equestria in several minutes!
• Can move at speeds that not even Rainbow Dash can react to (keep in mind that Rainbow Dash is, without a doubt, among the fastest Pegasi in existence. She can reach speeds upwards of 800 mph to break the sound barrier, and produce a Sonic Rainboom. The only pony in that current era to be known to produce one aside from Princess Celestia and Princess Luna)!
• Nonchalantly reacted to the Elements of Harmony.
• Once flew from the Horsehead Nebula to Equestria!
• Flew interstellar distances fast enough to time travel!
  • Once kept accelerating so much he went backwards in time (and that was just him trying to make it to tea time with his bestie, Fluttershy)!

Durability

• In both cases where he was defeated, the Elements of Harmony were needed to put him down, not including when his magic was stolen from Tirek.
• Discord has once survived a fall through Equestria's atmosphere in one of the comics, with nothing but a meteor protecting him. Upon crash landing near Fluttershy's cottage, Discord emerged only to be completely unharmed.
• Took a magic blast from King Sombra and only pretended to be mortally wounded.
• Accord tanked a blast from the Elements of Harmony.

  • Used a small sample of his magic to rejuvenate Tirek into his second form.
  • Provided Sombra's second defeat as an example and warning to force the three remaining villains to join him, prompting them to become visibly nervous.

• Impeccable fashion sense.
• Founding Member of the Maneificent 7.
• Created 'Pony Life'.

Weaknesses

• Elements of Harmony: Discord can easily be turned to stone with this.
• Arrogance: Discord is extremely cocky. After being turned into stone once, he still did not think that the new bearers of harmony could do the same.
• Magic Absorption: Discord do not have any protection from magic being absorbed, as seen when Tirek absorbed his magic.
• Lack of Combat Experience: For all his power, Discord has not yet displayed any sort of combat experience. We have yet to know how he'd handle himself in a fight, or if he has any moves or spells specifically for battle.

Fun Facts

• Lauren Faust, the creator of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, originally designed Discord to be more kid friendly because she thought that Hasbro would tell her to make it more kid friendly if she did not. Much to her surprise, Hasbro said that the design was not terrifying enough. Thus, the current design was born.
• According to writer Nick Colafone, Discord is Jewish.
• It is implied Discord was much more evil in the past, as one stained glass shows him dangling screaming ponies over fire, though this may have been an exaggeration.
• Discord's disguise as Grogar is the third character to be a revamp of a G1 villain, the first being Lord Tirek and the second being the Smooze.
• There were a few hints that Discord was Grogar in disguise:
  • Discord didn't seem at all surprised in "The Beginning of The End" when he read Twilight's letter of King Sombra's return.
  • In "The Summer Sun Setback", he watched as Twilight was with her friends, then said how she might be ready for whatever comes next.
  • Grogar's overall design somewhat resembled Discord's, though this lead many fans to believe that Grogar created Discord or that he was Discord's father.
