* MasterOfNone: Their DNA mix was formulated to create appealing and safe talking pets/toys, but in terms of physical constitution, fluffies are inferior to the individual strands put into them. They have the innate temperament of dogs but none of the strength of agility, they have the dexterity of cats but their hooves prevent them from properly gripping things, unicorns and alicorns have horns that are much more fragile than those of goats, their bird wings are useless for flight, they don't have the endurance of horses, and while they breed much better than rabbits, they lack their incredible speed and ability to burrow. The human DNA that presumably contributes to their intelligence and ability to speak gives them a unique ability to communicate with people, but it can also make them more frustrating than traditional pets, as those same features give them the capacity to knowingly whine, argue, disobey, and voice gross, ignorant thoughts.

* BatmanGambit: Certain abusers like to play the long game by adopting fluffies and giving them seemingly reasonable rules that they're almost certain to screw up so they can have the high ground when they severely punish them for doing so. They may take in an incontinent foal and tell it that if it ever does "bad poopies" outside its litter box, then it will be pillowed and abandoned. Or they could allow a mare to have babies so long as she keeps them quiet, which is almost impossible due to how foals instinctively chirp and peep to signal hunger, discomfort, and enthusiasm.

* BullyingTheDisabled: Foals suffering from "Sensitive Baby Syndrome" rarely get a chance to grow into adults as they're either singled out by abusers to torment mothers who love them, or are disposed of by regular owners when their frequent chirping and lack of comprehending obedience pushes them too far. Among fluffies, such foals are usually taken cared of quite well so long as they have good colors and aren't alicorns, though their siblings will grumble about the extra attention they receive and understanding parents will acknowledge that they're "sensitive".

* BewilderingPunishment:
** Fluffies are pretty dumb, have short attention spans and forget things easily. This combination means that many punished fluffies end up unaware of why they're being punished at all.
** Fluffies popularly interpret ''anything bad that happens to them'' as some kind of punishment, so a fluffy might bump into a wall and ask it "why huwt fwuffy?!"
* TheBigGuy: "Toughie/tuffy friends," the strongest fluffies in a feral herd, usually earth fluffies, that act as a smarty's bodyguards and henchfluffies. When attached to an evil smarty, they can become TheBrute.

* EntitledBastard: Reasonable fluffies will ask for basic necessities and kindness from humans (housing, food, hugs, etc), at times even requesting them on behalf of their families who they will reluctantly separate from if it means the rest will be adopted. Others not only want all that for themselves but have the gall to ask for additional luxuries like sketties, toys, and even sexual partners.

* PushedAtTheMonster: Few fluffies have the mental capacity - if lacking the scruples to choose otherwise - to do this deliberately, but one of the species' few bonafide defense mechanisms is breeding numerously enough that there's usually a few fluffies in the rear for predators or other pursuers to fall upon while the rest (or just one) get away. With large herds, pregnant mares (if any) are usually the ones too slow to escape an attack.
Added DiffLines:
** Their need to breed and lack of traditional animal instincts will cause some ferals to mate during wintertime where food and heat are scarce.
