Unicorns still have to use spells, that's not quite reality warping. Tirek demonstrates no power on that universal a scale.


** [[FunctionalMagic Unicorn magic]] in general seems to have the potential to become this. Many unicorns don't appear to do much more than use their telekinesis plus a "theme" spell or two, but the variety of effects that the real ''wizards'' among them can spontaneously create with the right spells (which themselves seem more a collection of random effects than they'd follow any actual system or logic that we ever see) is quite dazzling. Alicorn magic is apparently [[PhysicalGod immensely more powerful]].



** There is also [[BigRedDevil Lord Tirek]], who was mentioned by Princess Celestia to be a potential Reality Warper when at full power. Since all aspects of life in Equestria are regulated by ponies, Tirek [[ManaDrain stealing the magic]] of every pony would result in him becoming able to single-handedly control all of these aspects himself. Fortunately for everyone, although Tirek's sheer [[UnskilledButStrong brute magical force]] can allow him to overwhelm even [[MadGod Discord]] (above), he is nowhere as ''skilled'' with magic as Discord is, so "more magic" usually just equals to "'''bigger''' [[WaveMotionGun lasers]]".

* Gaia, from ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers'', will bend reality through time manipulation to solve a problem or to teach characters a lesson. One example is during the episode "If its Doomsday, It Must be Belfast", she fast forwards time 10 years to show the affects of the nuclear fallout to people in three different conflict zones if they set the nukes off after Verminous Skumm gives them the triggers, saying that they will destroy the other side. She then rewinds back time and with their lessons learned, help the Planeteers foil Skumm's plans. Her EvilCounterpart Zarm also can display this power, usually requiring her intervention when the Planeteers face him.

* Ed from ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy''. He can make an elevator made out of a bunch of random objects ''that goes to the moon''. [[MindScrew The exit is a microwave, and some of the stuff in the elevator includes a fishbowl, hockey sticks, and anything else you could get your hands on]]. He can also create a rewind button on Edd's hat, helpful when Ed can't quite understand Edd's Technobabble.
** He can also defy gravity, lift entire houses, blow up a house with nothing but the static electricity from rubbing his socks on carpet, clone himself to get an I-beam brought up to the top of the aforementioned elevator, jump at least a thousand feet up in the air, can fly by flapping his arms hard enough, is invulnerable to pain, and can exist in cartoons. When you consider all this, it's little wonder that he almost destroyed reality itself in [[BizarroEpisode One + One = Ed]].

* ''Franchise/MyLittlePonyAndFriends'': Pluma and the other Penna birds in "The Ghost of Paradise Estate". At first it starts as advanced shapeshifting -- able to take on not just the look but the properties of whatever she turns into, she's more than a winner of the SuperpowerLottery. Then, just add [[MacGuffin the Flash Stone]]. It's best for all involved that for most of the story it's [[NoManShouldHaveThisPower split in half]].

* Some ghosts in ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom''. Notably, Desiree, a genie-like ghost who can bend the world around her based on the wishes of anyone nearby. There are two drawbacks to that power, though--the wishes have to be spoken aloud, and she's compelled to grant ''every'' wish she hears...meaning that simply saying "I wish you would get in this Ghost Trap!" is enough to defeat her.

When he gave Eric his powers for one adventure, Eric had a lot of trouble learning to control them, but also seemed to gain some valuable insight from the experience (which is presumably why DM did it). DM also warned him that his actions could have unforeseen consequences; for instance, conjuring water in one place could create a drought elsewhere.

** Slightly more over the top is when Raven turns Titans Tower into a horror movie as a subconscious manifestation of her own fear. In general, it would be [[StoryBreakerPower a great deal easier for the heroes]] if Raven could voluntarily do any of the things that can happen when her emotions ([[EmotionalPowers and thus her powers]]) run wild.
