->I stared at the wretched-looking thing hanging upside-down from Fluttershy's forehoof. It gave a feeble little hack.\\\

"My new natural order says that symmetry can be very limiting," said Fluttershy, sounding pleased. "We don't want to limit our little friends, do we?" She scrunched her snout up and nuzzled at the abomination. "Do we? Do we? No we don't!"

->The Bugul Noz was still for a long moment, considering. Then, gently and with not the faintest hint of magic, the shadows began to slide away from his body and back into their appropriate paths while the mists fell away, drifting down in a spreading pool around the draconequus.\\
Aldrovanda hissed, sliding back under the water's surface, and Bon Bon took a few splashing steps back. The being that stood before them was similar to Discord in many ways, his body long and serpentine and patched together from a hodgepodge of different creatures--but he was also, quite clearly, immeasurably older than his wild relative. Where Discord had had only two mismatched horns, the Bugul Noz had many, branching up from his heavyset head like an unruly thicket and protruding in odd patches from his shaggy neck. His skin was a patchwork of many creatures' hides, mostly four-legged--but there were a few odd patches from boneless beasts, soft and shimmering with shifting colors or jointed like a locust's thorax. Three wings arched above his back, two of which appeared to be pieced together from the wings or membranes of many creatures--bats, birds, insects, flying squirrels, dragons--and the third of which Bon Bon could have sworn was actually a whale's fin. His arms and legs were chimerical, his tail was a zoological kaleidoscope, and his head was a snaggletoothed abomination, angular and bulging in all the wrong places. Only his eyes were not quite so terrible to look at; they were similar to Discord's, certainly, but where the spirit of chaos' eyes had flared madly, the Bugul Noz's were calm and quiet, like amber glowing with the warmth of ancient sunlight.
