'''Ponies''' are a race of sapient ungulates, one of several sentient species who hail from the land of [[Equestria]]. Cooperative, social and largely gregarious in nature, they appear to have abandoned traditional herd-based grazing strategies in favor of a sedentary social structure akin to primitive [[human]] society--despite lacking opposable thumbs, or indeed any kind of digits, they have nevertheless reaped the benefits of a successful agricultural revolution, and heavily urbanized settlements like [[Manehattan]] appear to be the first step towards a fully industrialized civilization. 

Repeated encounters with the [[Transformer|Cybertronian]] race have revealed the existence of at least three separate pony morphs: in addition to "earth ponies" that have convergently evolved to resemble Earth equines, there also exist winged "pegasi" forms, as well as "[[unicorn]]s" with [[magic]]al abilities. A mysterious fourth group of "princess" ponies incorporate traits from all three subspecies: while little is known about them, both known representatives appear to hold an elevated rank in pony society. While the majority of ponies appear to be {{w|neoteny|neotenous}}, with large heads, large eyes, and generally diminutive proportions, some "princess" forms like [[Princess Cadance|Cadance]] sport long legs and defined proportions. Their apparently matriarchal society, ruled by physiologically distinct "princesses", may indicate the presence of a gender-based caste system—perhaps a quasi-eusocial structure analogous to the terrestrial mole rat. 

Confusingly, each pony appears to sport his or her own unique [[insignia]]. The prevalence of these "cutie marks" in pony culture suggests a near-infinite amount of individual factions.
