Hello everyone.
I wanted to create this thread to attempt to expand the list of Eponia's races.
As you have guessed from the title, I had in mind to propose the idea of the Shadow Ponies, creatures without heart and a soul as black as darkness itself.
But let's move on to a brief description:
Direct offspring of Phobos Umbrae, the god of darkness and nightmares, the Shadow Ponies are the most malignant and deadly beings that can live in this world.
Mostly, the Shadow Ponies live in areas where the sunlight (to them fatal) does not penetrate, such as caves, and live in huge groups.
One place in particular, the Cave of Darkness, is full of them, and is considered one of the most dangerous places of Eponia.
As for the powers of these beings of pure darkness, they are able to infest houses and homes in a very annoying way (in many cases, they were mistaken for ghosts or poltergheist), haunt the dreams of ponies and, in some cases , posses ponies and use them as a means against the sunlight .
In any case, to understand that someone is possessed is not difficult, if you know the following facts: Who is possessed will be very violent against anyone, or at least have an unusual behavior.
Another important fact is the change of the eyes, which become completely blacks except for the pupil, which becomes white and bright.
Last but not least fact, those who are possessed will be very sensitive to light.
The means to counter the Shadow Ponies are not many, and now they begin to be useless.
But what it seems to work more is to let very strong light sources on, so that they are driven by the light generated.
Physically, they have many similarities with Windigos, except for the teeth abnormally developed, a disturbing aspect and a pair of horns.
The horns in question, however, are very valuable, and anyone who can kill a Shadows Pony can take them and sell them at very high prices.
However, the golden rule is one: if you see them, run away as fast as you can.
And, for finish, my concept for them ( sorry if is a bit big, but I don't know how to put it in spoiler ) :
