I named him Sugar Pie
because duh
I'm so creative
||D


So because I can't stop making up species(or subspecies in this case), I spiffed Sugar Pie up a little bit and made him into a WHOLE NEW PONY SUBSPECIES. XD

By the way, Sugar's parents were both gorgon ponies.

INFO on Gorgon Ponies

Gorgon Ponies can be of the pegasus, unicorn, earth or even alicorn variety. But they will always have two distinct characteristics: claws on their hind legs AND a tail that can change length, enabling the pony to pick up things and such with their tails.
When Gorgon Ponies become angered, their eye colours will also change. If the gorgon pony's parents were both gorgon ponies, then the pony may have the ability to turn whoever looks into their angry eyes into stone, much like a basilisk.

However, Gorgon Ponies can also be born from ONE gorgon parent or NO gorgon parent.
If a gorgon pony is born from ONE gorgon parent, then they will not be able to control their tail so easily. They also cannot turn others into stone.
If a gorgon pony is born from NO gorgon parent, then they will have to train in order to control their tails properly, and can end up strangling others by accident. It is important for a gorgon pony(a mutant from normal pony parents) to practice controlling their tail so that they don't hurt anyone else.

Finally, gorgon ponies can also have a very rare disease called Stonesick, which is a little like asthma in severity.
When they are nervous, their tongues will turn to stone.
When they are scared, their legs will turn to stone.
When they are surprised, their whole body will turn to stone.
-----Luckily, they will turn back to normal after some time. BUT if someone breaks their tongue, leg or body during this time, the pony will die.

Only MALE gorgon ponies give birth. It's very strange, especially since gorgon ponies can pair up with either male or female ponies, even if both ponies are gorgons...
