'''Ash Coat:''' Sure, I wondered. Maybe we simply didn't have enough information to teach our foals, or to write about them. Maybe they never even existed. Maybe my niece is obsessed with mythological beings. (''Looks her in the eye'') Or maybe... Just, maybe... Someone didn't want anypony to know about them. Maybe somepony with enough power decided that all traces of them should be removed.\\

Added DiffLines:

* {{Friends All Along}}: Zig-Zagged. Since Celestia is {{Friend to All Living Things}}, her initially cold welcome of Gladys comes as something of a shock. At least until it's shown they're close enough friends to mess with one-another as such.


Added DiffLines:

* {{This is Gonna Suck}}: Chirp's reaction to Twilight's plan for hiding him.

Added DiffLines:

* {{OOC Is Serious Business}}: : In Chapter 3, Pinkie Pie of all ponies becomes a bit unnerved when her Pinkie-Sense doesn’t detect [[spoiler: Chirp]]. Twilight talks her down out of it, [[spoiler: but she remains uncharacteristically serious through the rest of the chapter.]]

Added DiffLines:

* AntiMagic: Human technology appears to be made of magically resistant metals that seem at least ten times heavier when moved by telekinesis.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Quivering Eyes}}: [[spoiler: Human to non-human example]]. Chirp attempts this on Twilight, though it mostly has to do with imitating Spike. Twilight does concede, but only so he'll stop.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Shown Their Work}}: Nightfyre's flightsuit puts constant pressure on her limbs, ensuring proper blood-flow to the brain during stressful maneuvers. This is the same way real life flightsuits work for jet and fighter pilots.

* {{Force Field Door}}: A minor version, which traps air and other gasses, but allows solid objects to pass through, is employed in The Vault.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Absurdly Sharp Blade}}: [[spoiler: The punching dagger, or "katar."]] Also counts as a rare example of {{shown their work}}, in both the actual name of the blade, as well as Ash Coat's description of its assembly.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Perception Filter}}: Chirp has this on some level; those who look at him don't "see" him, at least when he tries. It appears to degrade with use, and it only works if someone isn't looking ''for'' him.

* {{Batman In My Basement}}: Twilight Sparkle hides Chirp, [[spoiler:a human,]] in her library.
* {{Fun Personified}}: Chirp appears to be this, though is still outmatched by Pinkie. Oh, so much.
* {{Non Human Sidekick}}: Pretty much inverted with Chirp.
* [[The Voiceless]]: Chirp. Can't talk, but communicates via whistling Harpo Marx style. {{Word of God}} is the author drew quite a bit of inspiration for him from the vaudeville actor.
