History Characters / CodexEquusFourthAgeVillains

* {{Hypocrite}}: They accuse other Alicorns as selfish, entitled people who keep the secrets of Alicornhood to themselves, reveling in the power, fame, and freedom they have at the expense of more "worthy" individuals. This rings incredibly hollow when they tried using Rainbow Dash's wings to turn themselves into Alicorns, and even had a hand in the experiments that ultimately led to Crystal Prism's Ascension.

* LackOfEmpathy: Another one of their main flaws.

** They cut off Rainbow Dash's wings since her enormous potential would be able to give them all wings, not caring that Rainbow would essentially be reduced to a permanent cripple if they succeeded. They ended up being defeated when Princess Twilight Sparkle used a spell that allowed Rainbow to share a body with her, and was so enraged that she used her power as the Alicorn goddess of Magic to strip them of their magic indefinitely.
** They participated in Noble Grace and Bubbling Beaker's experiments that ultimately created Crystal Prism (who, coincidentally, spared them since his corrupted form couldn't sense or devour their sealed magic), and continued using their work to further their own goals. This ''[[UnstoppableRage enraged]]'' Crystal Prism, especially after, instead of understandably being horrified by what he had gone through, accused him of being an entitled prick who wants to keep the secrets of Ascension to himself instead of teaching them to more "worthy" individuals like themselves. At that point, Luminiferous intervened and gave the unicorn trio a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, making it ''very'' clear that the blame, laziness, and sense of entitlement lay solely on themselves.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Luminiferous gave the three a dressing-down in response to them accusing him of being entitled and keeping the secrets of Ascension to himself. Notably, it worked, and the three were starting to show signs of a JerkassRealization [[spoiler:until they're rescued by Ispita the Deceiver]].

* WorldsSmartestMan: Is undoubtedly the smartest mortal dragon to ever live, if not one of the smartest mortals. To note: he played XanatosSpeedChess with the entire Summer Court, and nearly ''won''.

* IWasQuiteALooker: He was described as being very handsome for his age pre-Curse, to the point where several local mares (including his childhood friend, Three Leaf) had crushes on him. Now he's cursed into becoming a decayed zombie until he atones for his crimes.

* KarmicTransformation: It's stated in his profile that when Pakak cursed Sunnytown for murdering Ruby Heart, Grey Hoof was among the first to become zombies, since his actions led to the death of an innocent filly over something so harmless. As a consequence, because his appearance was made to reflect his monstrous actions, people rightly treat him with fear and disgust. It's noted that because of his deep insanity and refusal to change, he will most likely stay in his zombified form until the potential end of Time and Known History.

* {{Nephewism}}: Justified; his parents died from Cutie Pox infection when he was a baby, so he was adopted by paternal relatives.

* SuperPersistentPredator: Justified; part of what makes him so frightening is that due to being a zombie, he is unburdened by mortal requirements such as food, air, and sleep. This is what allows him to pursue his victims easily, without stop. Thankfully, the only thing that stops him is Pakak's curse
* TautologicalTemplar: He genuinely believes that his worldview is right and that he's acting for the good of Sunnytown and Equestria, while everyone else who opposes him are deemed threats that need to be put down for the greater good. Unsurprisingly, his most ardent followers behave like this, too. To everyone else, Grey Hoof is a "crack-nut" and a foal-killer who keeps deluding himself with lies.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Deconstructed. He genuinely believes that those who get Cutie Marks are put at huge risk for Cutie Pox infection, so he sought to "protect" them (i.e. kill them). According to Pakak, the fear is legitimate, but the bad thing is Grey Hoof and his followers let that fear rule their hearts to the point where they were willing to do horrible things to prevent it. Grey Hoof is also so deeply insane that he simply ''refuses'' to accept any belief other than his own, making attempts to reform him useless.

* ItsPersonal: Dragonkind can't make it any more personal for him than having a Dragon taking away his kingdom, his family and one of his leg, then have him facing the absolute worst of their kind and seeing his tragedy repeating over and over again when he goes out to fight them with his Hive. It became personal for Xestobium to literally genocidal levels.

* SemiDivine: Being a Royal Changeling, he was this.

** However, he made a secret second deal with Yarost's mother, Ispita, so he could escape his punishment and continue his crime spree. Thus, he ended up in the dream world... until Princess Luna and Tenya confronted and defeated him, which ended with Yarost dragging him off to hell.

** They even come in four different tribes/subspecies/races with unique abilities each like the Minions in the Overlord games. 'Browns' are tough fighters which could use weapons, 'Reds' are capable of ranged fire attacks, 'Greens' are stealthy poison-immune backstabbers, and 'Blues' can magically raise dead minions and swim.
** On top of them, Grimgard the Latest is also branching out and adding auxiliary minion forces from his present conquests to bolster his armies, which include Alvslog Deer, Calvlings, Ponies, Diamond Dogs, Griffons and others. Al

* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: He manages to amass a sizable body count of Changeling Kings before his rampage even ''began'', takes on the entire Court by himself, and nearly kills off most of Changeling kind by the end. This is especially notable due to being a mortal and the difficulty of killing ''one'' Changeling King.

* TheChosenOne: Sadly subverted: he could've been 'They Who Pierce The Heavens', one of the three beings needed to break the Cycle, but he squandered his potential with his fall to evil.

* DestructiveSaviour: Is a NobleDemon who does downright heroic things for honourable or pragmatic reasons, but like any EvilOverlord is a mighty and dangerous adversary able and willing to brutally destroy his foes and any obstacles in his way. Also, he has a perchance for property damage and looting if he could get away with it like a certain 'Hero of Time'...

* EvilMinions: The primary forces of the present Lord Grimgard and his predecessors are Nether Gremlins, Gremlins off-shoots who originated from the 'Netherrealms' of Equus, regions or PocketDimensions saturated with Fel-magic energies that twisted them mind and body over generations.

** On top of them, Grimgard the Latest is also branching out and adding auxiliary minion forces from his present conquests to bolster his armies, which include Alvslog Deer, Calvlings, Ponies, Diamond Dogs, Griffons and others.
* EvilVersusEvil: Interestingly, most of Lord Grimgard's conquests and conflicts had primarily been against several hedge realms that were ruled or terrorized by tyrants and fallen champions. Many of his present rivals and competitors are also Evil Overlords in their own right.
* EvilOverlord: Part of a line infamous for playing it so straight it's set standards for many other evil overlords of the Third/Fourth Age, and he is no exception.
* GiantSpaceFleaOutOfNowhere: Is a metaphoric one in-universe, since apparently he just showed up one day out of nowhere to pick up the mantle of the Grimgards and reassert a dominion that had been on a sabbatical for centuries. Nobody knows anything about him and his motives and background is still up in the air for speculation.

* MysteriousPast: Due to the complete lack of any information about his identity, everything about him and his past is still ambiguous and unknown. Some speculated from his conduct he might had been a FallenHero or one who lost his memory and was unwittingly roped into playing the role by minions desperate for a master.
* NotSoAboveItAll: For all his credit, he still does some villainous things, most notably sharing with his Minions and a certain 'Hero of Time' a perchance for property damage and looting anything that he could get away with. This made him rich, but also leaves him with an enormous bill and may eventually attract the attention of actual Dragons...

** The Alvslog Deer Forest Realm and Pony City-state were weakened by internal catastrophes and would had been easy prey for the slaughter. Instead, Lord Grimgard the Latest go out of his way to actually help them, purging the corruption afflicting the former and purging the undead and demons terrorizing the latter, and even help them recover by saving their people and rebuilding their lands. This not only lets him acquire two healthy and prospering territories but also won him undying loyalty of the Alvslog Deer and Ponies living there.

* VillainousLegacy: The current Lord Grimgard is only the latest (It's even part of his title) in the infamously long-lasting 'Grimgard Line', which as of the Latest is two Ages (Around ''20,000 years'') and fifty generations long. It's even stated that the Grimgard Line is less a familial line and more a legacy, and like many Grimgards the Latest isn't related to any predecessors.

* RisingEmpire: A petty/hedge empire that is filling up the EvilPowerVacuum left behind by the fall of the Storm Empire and domains of other Evil Overlords. It's rising so quickly in fact it's worrying the civilized states near the lawless region it is expanding into.

* EvilVersusEvil: Interestingly, most of Lord Grimgard's conquests and conflicts had primarily been against several hedge realms that were ruled or terrorized by tyrants and fallen champions. Also many of his present rivals and competitors are also Evil Overlords in their own right.
* EvilOverlord: Part of a line infamous for playing it so straight it's set standards for many other evil overlords of the Third/Fourth Age.

* GiantSpaceFleaOutOfNowhere: One in-universe, since apparently he just showed up one day to pick up the mantle of the Grimgards and reassert a dominion that had been on a sabbatical for centuries.

[[folder:Malus Tenebris, the Usurper King]]

* SealedEvilInACan: Was imprisoned after the Great Fae War by the combined forces of the Breezie Pantheon and the leaders of two (possibly three if the Amber Royal was indeed involved) Changeling Courts.

-> ''"Anything? Oh, is there any more beautiful word?"''

Ispita is a fallen deity, Temnobog's ex-lover, and the mother of the Four Terrors. Much like Temnobog, Ispita once gave trials to test mortals and punished those who let themselves fall into evil. Unfortunately, she fell to evil in the same way the mortals did, completely souring her relationship with Temnobog and causing the latter to issue a "Kill on Sight" order should she be spotted anywhere.
----
* EvilMatriarch: Despite being her biological children and "evil" deities themselves, the Four Terrors consider her their enemy due to her support of "careless" Evil rather than the constructive Evil she used to practice.
* JerkassGenie: Her greatest power is to grant wishes and complete DealWithTheDevil agreements, but by her nature she tends to screw the wisher over. Her endgame involves granting something called 'The Darkest Wish.'
* RealityWarper: Like Discord, however unlike him she's normally far weaker...unless she's granting a wish or performing a deal, in which case she's actually ''stronger''.

----
* HolyBurnsEvil: It's noted in his entry that purifying magic is especially damaging to him, since he's a gestalt of sapientkind's inner evil. This is what led to his defeat when Prince Léon ([[AchievementsInIgnorance accidentally]]) purified his current host, defeating him while freeing said host from his control.
* MadeOfEvil: His entry describes him as being the living embodiment of sapientkind's inner evil, with his true form being a gigantic mass of writhing shadows.
* MysteriousPast: His origins are speculated in-universe, save for the fact that he was once one of Ispita's angels before her fall into "diabolical" evil. Among the various theories is that he was originally a mortal, the result of a scientist's attempt to split his good and evil sides into separate beings, or was born from the inner evil of all the souls that have been enslaved to Ispita's will.

The being known as "[=CreepEntity513=]" is shrouded in mystery, but what is known is that it existed during the Second Age, when video games were extremely common and popular. Chaotic yet extremely sadistic, [=CreepEntity513=] acted like a bully who would go around and harass young gamers by either scaring and traumatizing them, or killing them and trapping their souls in its game realm for eternity. When not in the mood for killing, it'll simply just kidnap its victims and turn them into its eternal playthings. However, its reign of terror would come to a temporary stop when the Second Age ended and brought video games into obscurity, and was later trapped in a magically preserved video game CD that was labeled as an "Out-Of-Place Artifact".\\\

* KarmicDeath: Like a sadistic bully, [=CreepEntity513=] would constantly harass video gamers by either traumatizing its victims, killing them and trapping their souls in its game world, or kidnapping them so they could serve as its living playthings. Eventually, it would be killed by Button Mash, who was temporarily transformed into the Alicorn of Video games by Luminiferous and aided by [=CreepEntity513=]'s victims.
* LoadBearingBoss: Its game world was noted to have started collapsing shortly after its death, necessitating Crystal Prism's arrival in order for Button Mash and the living victims he saved to lead them away.

Ispita is a fallen deity, Temnobog's ex-lover, and the mother of the Four Terrors. Much like Temnobog, Ispita once gave trials to test mortals and punished those who let themselves fall into evil. Unfortunately, she fell to evil in the same way the mortals did.

** His crime spree finally came to an end when both Princess Luna and Tenya confronted and defeating him by freeing all the souls of his devoured victims, then threw him through a portal into the real world. This time, [[OhCrap Yarost was waiting for him]], and dragged his soul off to hell where he was made just a nameless plaything as punishment.

The being known as "[=CreeperEntity513=]" is shrouded in mystery, but what is known is that it existed during the Second Age, when video games were extremely common and popular.

When not in the mood for killing, it'll simply just kidnap its victims and turn them into its eternal playthings. However, its reign of terror would come to a temporary stop when the Second Age ended and brought video games into obscurity, and was later trapped in a magically preserved video game CD that was labeled as an "Out-Of-Place Artifact".\\\

In the Fourth Age, after video games were reinvented, [=CreeperEntity513=] would be let loose again, resulting in it becoming a terrifying boogeyman and urban legend among gaming communities, though at one point it was driven off when a gamer managed to beat the entity while it was possessing a Dracozilla-inspired game, proving that despite its brutal methods and the incredible fear it inspires, it's not completely undefeatable.\\\

[=CreeperEntity513=] was eventually killed when the game console it possessed had fallen into the hooves of an Earth pony colt, Button Mash. Earlier, Button had befriended Crystal Prism, the young Alicorn demigod of Rebirth and Change, during the latter's visit to Ponyville, which led to Crystal informing Luminiferous of a troubling vision he had of the colt thanks to his empathetic foresight. Luminiferous disguised himself and gave Button a trinket that would allow the ancient Alicorn to aid him should his desire to protect his friends and loved ones resonate strongly enough. When [=CreeperEntity513=] tried going after Button Mash, Button's gaming talent as well as his nigh-bottomless knowledge of gaming tropes frustrated the entity enough that it pulled the colt into its game world so he'll be dealt with directly.\\\

Button quickly realized that [=CreeperEntity513=] intended to go after his filly-friend, Sweetie Belle, and the other Cutie Mark Crusaders once it's done with him, causing his trinket to let Luminiferous reach into the game world and lend Button his future potential. Button's temporary transformation into the Alicorn of Video Games, combined with the power boost he received from [=CreepyEntity513=]'s victims (both dead and alive), allowed him to defeat the monstrous digital spirit and end him for good. While the souls of those [=CreeperEntity513=] killed were allowed to ascend to heaven for their eternal rest, Button and those still living were led out to safety by Crystal Prism, who arrived just in time as the game world began collapsing with [=CreeperEntity513=]'s death.\\\

Had it not decided to target Button Mash, [=CreeperEntity513=] would've continued sowing fear and death wherever it went for a while longer. However, Button's success means that gamers everywhere could rest easy knowing that they're finally safe.

* KarmicDeath: Like a sadistic bully, [=CreeperEntity513=] would constantly harass video gamers by either traumatizing its victims, killing them and trapping their souls in its game world, or kidnapping them so they could serve as its living playthings. Eventually, it would be killed by Button Mash, who was temporarily transformed into the Alicorn of Video games by Luminiferous and aided by [=CreeperEntity513=]'s victims.

* WouldHurtAChild: Button Mash was about to become its latest victim, but his incredible talent and knowledge in gaming, combined with Lumiferous and [=CreeperEntity513=]'s victims aiding him, was what saved the colt and allowed him to defeat [=CreeperEntity513=] permanently. Presumably, its previous victims were teenagers and young foals, both who tended to enjoy video games immensely.

!!!'''Character:''' Evil

* TragicVillain: Lost his ''entire clan'' - including his mate and child - during the [[FinalSolution 'Time of Broken Scales']], the Summer Court's attempted genocidal payback for the [[ApocalypseHow 'Burning of Amorea']], which haunted him for the next 5,000 years. Made worse by the fact that he did genuinely try to let go and move on at Ember's behest - then Xestobium's rampage happened, reopening all the old mental wounds, and next thing we know he had JumpedOffTheSlipperySlope. [[spoiler:Censura may had been around [[UnwittingPawn to ensure that]].]]

* BrilliantButLazy: Deconstructed. Despite their great power, their collective unwillingness to learn things the normal way because it's too difficult made them infamous for taking shortcuts, which later led to their failed attempt to break into Canterlot's forbidden archives and learn Lord Tirek's mana-draining spell in order to become Alicorns, instead of taking the long road to godhood. Celestia caught them in the act and expelled them, having seen their potential to become cruel, selfish ponies and [[DisappointedInYou making it clear how disappointed she was in their lazy ambitions]]. Furthermore, instead of accepting their faults and resolving to better themselves, they [[NeverMyFault blame other Alicorns for being "entitled" to power and freedom]], believing that they're hoarding away the secrets to Alicornhood from "worthy" individuals out of selfishness. Crystal Prism, being one of the Alicorns they blamed, was ''[[UnstoppableRage enraged]]'' to hear it, since was subjected to horrible experiments by Noble Grace and Bubbling Beaker in a well-meaning yet cruel attempt to produce Alicorns, and never asked if he wanted to be an Alicorn or not. Luminiferous makes it rather clear that the fault was with them, being so lazy that they decide to cheat their way into Alicornhood instead of taking the chances offered to them, resulting in their potential being squandered.
* {{Hypocrite}}: They accuse other Alicorns as selfish, entitled people who keep the secrets of Alicornhood to themselves, reveling in the power, fame, and freedom they have at the expense of more "worthy" individuals. This rings incredibly hollow when they tried using Rainbow Dash's wings to turn themselves into Alicorns, and even had a hand in the experiments that ultimately led to Crystal Prism's Ascension

* NeverMyFault: One of their main flaws, aside from [[BrilliantButLazy laziness]] and LackOfEmpathy.

* KarmicTransformation: It's stated in his profile that when Pakak cursed Sunnytown for murdering Ruby Heart, Grey Hoof was among the first to become zombies, since his actions led to the death of an innocent filly over something so harmless. As a consequence, because his appearance was made to reflect his monstrous actions, people rightly treat him with fear and disgust.

* ParentalAbandonment: Justified; they both died from Cutie Pox infection when he was just a baby. It's implied that learning the truth of their deaths at a later age was what caused his StartOfDarkness.
* SuperPersistentPredator: Justified; part of what makes him so frightening is that due to being a zombie, he is unburdened by mortal requirements such as food, air, and sleep. This is what allows him to pursue his victims easily, without stop.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: He genuinely believes that those who get Cutie Marks are put at huge risk for Cutie Pox infection, so he sought to "protect" them (i.e. kill them). According to Pakak, the fear is legitimate, but the bad thing is Grey Hoof and his followers let that fear rule their hearts to the point where they were willing to do horrible things to prevent it.

** He turned Sunnytown against Ruby for earning her Cutie Mark, and personally took part in Ruby's murder by burning her alive in her family's fireplace. Unfortunately for him, this enraged the Karmic god Pakak into cursing Sunnytown's populace for their crimes by turning everyone involved into zombies.

* AncientEvil: She's a Primeval, and attempted to conquer all fae on Equus at one point.

* MadGod: She's described as completely insane.

** Celestia [[AGodIAmNot sees herself as a very flawed person despite being an Alicorn]], and genuinely regrets the mistakes she has done in the past. Tyrantlestia sees herself as a legitimate goddess despite only being a Tulpa, and does horrible things for the sake of power and authority, while either trying to justify them with excuses or pins the blame on someone else.

* VillainousBreakdown: An ''epic'' one, if her profile is to be believed. After failing to break Celestia psychologically with a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech due to the latter gaining a HeroicSecondWind from her cheering subjects, Tyrantlestia ends up being deconstructed by Celestia herself as little more than a childish, one-dimensional bully whose life, identity, and purpose revolves around her own selfish hatred, and does nothing but play the victim and pinning the blame on others. This, combined with her extreme DePower with the lack of hatred and her [[EvilCannotComprehendGood lack of understanding why Celestia continues to be loved]], causes her to devolve into little more than a screaming foal while throwing an epic tantrum... which made her vulnerable to being overpowered and killed by Celestia's magic.

* {{ArchEnemy}}: To the Summer Court - ''all of it''.

* {{ArchEnemy}}: To the Summer Court - ''all of it''.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: He manages to amass a sizable body count of Changeling Kings before his rampage even ''began'', takes on the entire Court by himself, and nearly kills off most of Changeling kind by the end. This is especially notable due to being a mortal and the difficulty of killing ''one'' Changeling King.
* GeniusBruiser: He's a dragon scientist, and that fact makes him ''extremely'' dangerous.
* PoweredArmor: His Slayer armors, ending with his gigantic God Slayer armor.
* StrongAndSkilled: He's a dragon but is incredibly skilled in combat.
* TragicVillain: Lost his ''entire clan'' - including his mate and child - during the [[FinalSolution 'Time of Broken Scales']], the Summer Court's attempted genocidal payback for the [[ApocalypseHow 'Burning of Amorea']], which haunted him for the next 5,000 years. Made worse by the fact that he did genuinely try to let go and move on at Ember's behest - then Xestobium's rampage happened, reopening all the old mental wounds, and next thing we know he had JumpedOffTheSlipperySlope. [[spoiler:Censura may had been around [[UnwittingPawn to ensure that]].]]
* WorldsSmartestMan: Is undoubtedly the smartest mortal dragon to ever live, if not one of the smartest mortals. To note: he played XanatosSpeedChess with the entire Summer Court, and nearly ''won''.

[[folder:Dread]]

* {{Mutants}}: Is a mutant Dreadmare variant, known as a Dreadmare Emperor, making him far more powerful and intelligent than normal, to the point of being genuinely malevolent.
* SealedEvilInACan: Was last seen being sealed away off Equestria's coast.

[[folder:Father Deer]]
Father Deer is a powerful Tulpa created by the Clovenist Empire. Having grown to distrust the Bogolenya pantheon's good intentions, the Clovenists attempted to create a god that would truly serve in their best interests, acting as a weapon and propaganda tool. As typical of Clovenist plans, things went... horribly wrong.\\\

Father Deer had godlike power and the obsession with Clovenist expansion, but his personality was that of a tyrannical, sociopathic, and childlike despot. It was only after he nearly took over the empire that the Clovenists were ultimately forced to swallow their pride and beg for help from the very gods they scorned. Father Deer eventually fell at the hooves of Mother Deer, but the Clovenists' act of blasphemy would greatly sour their image in the eyes of the Bogolenya pantheon.

* EvilCounterpart: For Lestnamatya, aka "Mother Deer". Aside from the gender differences, his personality is a malign perversion of Lestnamatya's, being a power-hungry, warmongering, childlike tyrant that seeks to conquer ''everything'' for Clovenism. Bonus points for Lestnamatya eventually defeating and killing him.
* GoneHorriblyWrong: His creation. The Clovenists forsook the Bogolenya deities out of distrust towards their benevolent intentions, and blamed them for not getting rid of the corrupt Roedinian monarchies sooner, so they tried creating a god that's wholly devoted to Clovenism so they could have a divine weapon and propaganda tool. The result was... ''this''.
* MadeOfMagic: Categorized as a Tulpa. His Clovenist creators attempted to make a god that's wholly devoted to Clovenism after abandoning the Bogolenya pantheon, but they ended up with a twisted, insane abomination.
* RageAgainstTheHeavens: What led to his birth in the first place; the Clovenists believe the Bogolenya deities stood by and watched while their mortal Deer children suffered underneath the hooves of their increasingly corrupt monarchies, so they tried creating their own god. [[GoneHorriblyWrong It backfired horribly]].

[[folder:Grey Hoof]]
!!!'''Character:''' Villainous
!!!'''Alignment:''' Lawful Evil
!!!'''Type:''' Cursed Zombie/Extremist
!!!'''Faction:''' Sunnytown

-> ''"All those with Cutie Marks can get the Pox, so all those with Cutie Marks HAD TO GO!"''

* FreudianExcuse: Deconstructed. He's extremely focused on "protecting" ponies from getting Cutie Marks because he was born during a time when Sunnytown was ravaged by Cutie Pox, taking with it half the population as well as his parents. However, [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse he's so far gone in the head that he's willing to use his experiences as an excuse to commit more atrocities against Ponykind]], and has influenced his most ardent followers into behaving exactly like him. Pakak himself states that while Grey Hoof's fear is legitimate, he still let that fear motivate him into doing cruel and hateful things in the name of preventing that fear.
* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: While his background is tragic and his fear understandable, he took it so far as to ''murder'' innocents for gaining Cutie Marks out of misguided belief that he's "protecting" them from Cutie Pox infection. Appropriately, public reactions to him in modern Equestria range from fear to anger and disgust, with many people rightfully seeing him as a deluded foal-killer and "crack-nut". Applejack in particular [[BigBrotherInstinct made it clear that she'll "applebuck" him seven ways across Equus if he comes after her sister again]].
* HappilyAdopted: After his parents died to Cutie Pox, he was adopted by paternal relatives, who raised him as their own son. Not that it prevented him from becoming the delusional nut he is now...
* IWasQuiteALooker: He was described as being very handsome for his age pre-Curse, to the point where several local mares (including his childhood friend, Three Leaf) had crushes on him. Now he's cursed into becoming a decayed zombie until he atones for his crimes.
* IRejectYourReality: He genuinely believes that he's doing good by "protecting" ponies from Cutie Pox infection, which actually means he kills them just like he did Ruby Heart. However, he's so deeply insane that he constantly rejects Ruby's attempts to redeem him, still seeing her as an infected monster that needs to be killed. Ruby would later admit to her friends, Midnight Bell and Crystal Prism, that as much as she's dedicated to being a Confessor and helping redeem people, she eventually gave up on Grey Hoof after realizing that he wouldn't change.
* KarmicTransformation: It's stated in his profile that when Pakak cursed Sunnytown for murdering Ruby Heart, Grey Hoof was among the first to become zombies, since his actions led to the death of an innocent filly over something so harmless. As a consequence, because his appearance was made to reflect his monstrous actions, people rightly treat him with fear and disgust.
* KillItWithFire: He caused Ruby's death by having her burned alive in her family's fireplace for earning her Cutie Mark. This is what got Pakak on the warpath when he witnessed it.
* MeaningfulName: Grey Hoof is an Earth pony stallion with a grey pelt.
* {{Nephewism}}: Justified; his parents died from Cutie Pox infection when he was a baby, so he was adopted by paternal relatives.
* ParentalAbandonment: Justified; they both died from Cutie Pox infection when he was just a baby. It's implied that learning the truth of their deaths at a later age was what caused his StartOfDarkness.
* SuperPersistentPredator: Justified; part of what makes him so frightening is that due to being a zombie, he is unburdened by mortal requirements such as food, air, and sleep. This is what allows him to pursue his victims easily, without stop.
* TautologicalTemplar: He genuinely believes that his worldview is right and that he's acting for the good of Sunnytown and Equestria, while everyone else who opposes him are deemed threats that need to be put down for the greater good. Unsurprisingly, his most ardent followers behave like this, too. To everyone else, Grey Hoof is a "crack-nut" and a foal-killer who keeps deluding himself with lies.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He genuinely believes that those who get Cutie Marks are put at huge risk for Cutie Pox infection, so he sought to "protect" them (i.e. kill them). According to Pakak, the fear is legitimate, but the bad thing is Grey Hoof and his followers let that fear rule their hearts to the point where they were willing to do horrible things to prevent it.
* WouldHurtAChild:
** He turned Sunnytown against Ruby for earning her Cutie Mark, and personally took part in Ruby's murder by burning her alive in her family's fireplace. Unfortunately for him, this enraged the Karmic god Pakak into cursing Sunnytown's populace for their crimes by turning everyone involved into zombies.
** He also tried to "protect" Apple Bloom from getting a Cutie Mark after she discovered Sunnytown's horrible secret. Fortunately for her, she was aided in her escape by both Ruby Heart's ghost, who teleported Apple Bloom to safety, and Ruby's older sister, the zombified Mitta, who pulled a YouShallNotPass on Grey Hoof and his followers.
* YouMonster: Apple Bloom called him and his followers "crack-nuts" and "sick buckers" after correctly guessing they were responsible for the burnt skeleton she found in the old fireplace.

[[folder:Grogar, the Shadow King of Tambelon]]
!!!'''Divine Classification:''' Fallen Ascendant
!!!'''Portfolio:''' Dark Magic, Shadows, Tyranny, Evil

Grogar is the evil fallen god of dark magic, and the pioneer of dark magic as it exists in modern Equus.

* ControlFreak: Tambelon under his rule is an extreme dictatorship where the people have no free will, and minor infractions are severely punished. Whenever his minions did not cheer as decreed by him, they were thrown into the Realm of Darkness, where they would wander for eternity.
* FreudianExcuse: He's extremely controlling because the incompetence of Tambelon's former rulers convinced him that all mortals are incompetent and weak-minded without the guidance of a strong leader.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Once, he cut down extremely large portions of Equus's forests to provide resources in taking over the planet. This ''enraged'' the nature goddess, Gaea, so much that her rampage forced him to flee to the Shadow Realm.

-> ''"Anything? Oh, is there any more beautiful word?"''

Ispita is a fallen deity, Temnobog's ex-lover, and the mother of the Four Terrors. Much like Temnobog, Ispita once gave trials to test mortals and punished those who let themselves fall into evil. Unfortunately, she fell to evil in the same way the mortals did.
