During King Sombra's rein, a new species was born. The shadow ponies.
They were created from pure fear, sorrow, pain and darkness.

King Sombra created an army of show ponies to maintain control over the crystal empire but once he fell to the princesses the army scattered across the land in fear of their survival. They now can be found in 3 different locations, The Frozen North, Hayseed Swamps and The Everfree Forest.

Personality:
They prefer to stay in the dark were they can hide from danger. They love to "stalk" others and observe them from a distance. They used to be cruel and evil but ever since the fall of King Sombra, they started to live as families and learned how to love each other. Over the past 1000 years their aggressiveness has died down a lot but they are still born warriors.

Appearance:
They are normally dark coloured. Their eyes are green and their mane and tail are made of shadow. They often produce the same shadow effect on their hooves while the are running or being very active. They have one large and sharp horn but can barely use magic with it. They can levitate small and light objects and shoot lazers. Because their lack of ability in magic the horns are often used in similar ways like a sword. A lot of the shadow ponies have dark spots or stripes along their face, shoulders and back.
They have the ability to go shadow, were they'll glide around in smokey shadow form.
Pure Shadow Ponies don't have cutie marks.

Fun facts:
- They can "infect" other ponies and mythical creatures, creating variations of their species. e.g. a Pegasus -> winged Shadow Pony (hornless), Unicorn -> Unicorn Shadow Pony, Earth Pony -> Hornless Shadow Pony, etc...
- Only the infected ponies will have cutie marks.
- A Shadow Pony can't live without it's jewel. The jewel is the source of their energy, it's like their heart.
- Only infected ponies can live with out a jewel.
- All Shadow Ponies are born dead.
- Shadow Ponies can't be harmed by sun light. They just don't like it.

More facts will be added later.

Rules:
- You can't make one of your own.
- No breeding!
- You can't claim that you made the pony
- You can't claim that you made the species
- You can make it into a ponysona or a fursona
- You can post images of you pony offsite but please link and credit back!\


Looking for artists!
I can't be the only one making all of these adoptables so I'm looking for help!
I'll be looking for skilled artists who can design the perfect Shadow Ponies!
