While Friendship is Magic is a show about friendship, that doesn't mean that there aren't any characters that are this:
- Discord, the God of Chaos, loves to corrupt other ponies for sheer entertainment. And he's hilarious too. Being an expy of Q (even being played by the same actor), Discord veers into Affably Evil. As of Season 3, Discord has been officially reformed. However, he still seems every bit the same jerkass. The only reason he unfreezes Applejack's farm is for Fluttershy's sake (rather than because it's the right thing to do, or to save the Apple family), and even in the end he promises to only use his magic for good, but then mumbles "Most of the time..." In later seasons, he becomes a Jerk with a Heart of Gold when he becomes friends with Fluttershy and later others.
- The Flim-Flam brothers, traveling sales ponies nonpareil.
- Bon-Bon seems to be a bit of a Jerkass. Whether she's avenging herself on Apple Bloom for an attempted scam by demanding every apple from the stand for free, pretending not to know Rarity because she's not the now-famous Fluttershy, or bullying the latter like many others at times, she can be really unpleasant, though most of Bon-Bon's actions were either speculations or were justified.
- The teenage dragons from Dragon Quest.
- Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon are jerks, especially to the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Until "Crusaders of the Lost Mark", where it's revealed Diamond was raised to be one by her mother Spoiled Rich, whose attitude is much more snobbish than Diamond's.
- Cozy Glow turns out to be this once her true intentions are revealed in the Season 8 finale.
