The Appearance Of The Guard Is Due To Glamour. · 11:42pm Nov 29th, 2015
Since Season # 01 for the DayGuard and the Season # 02 for the NightGuard, we have argued whether the Uniform Appearance of the Guards is due to glamour which is part of the uniform or whether they really all look the same. In the case of the NightGuard, one must posit a new kind of pony, a thestral of batpony. The the Cutie Re-Mark Part # 02, we see RainBowDash as a thestral as part of the ShadowBolts, with bat-like wings and slitted pupils; but however, when she removes her helmet, her pupils are round. This settles it; it is a glamour in the uniforms.
There might also be real Night Pegasi. Just as Shining Armor really does have the standard coloration of the Day Guard, and did before he joined them as well.

Possibly. It seems strange that we only see thestrals under the employ of Queen NightMareMoon or Princess Luna.
It is too bad that the episode did not confirm our headcanon (I read your blogs) that Starlight Glimmer, Twilight Sparkle, Moondancer, and Sunset Shimmer are 1st cousins, which because of inbreeding, are effectively sisters. The Celestial breeding Program to bring together good alleles of genes for magical potential and intelligence, unavoidable brought together bad alleles of genes associated with mental instability; we have power-crazed Sunset Shimmer, although she recovered, hyper-reclusive Moondancer, and Starlight Glimmer who went off and started a commune in the middle of nowhere. The only success is Twilight Sparkle. It explains why they all have a similar naming scheme, are extremely intelligent as in the top percentile, magically more powerful than 99% of unicorns, and are all palette-swaps of each other. With the success of Twilight Sparkle, they can start outbreeding, as Prince Consort Shining Armor did when he married with Princess Mi Amore Cadenza who, before undergoing apotheosis and ascending to Alicorn, was a PegasusMare with no traceable relationship to Shining Armor.
