Pony POV Series Optional-Canon Grogar Idea · 7:55am Aug 2nd, 2016
Obviously inspired in real life by Cobra-La's 'final solution' for humanity in the GI Joe The Movie, and also the witches' own scheme in Firehooves' fan works, one possible final doomsday weapon created by the Gizmonks in their willing service to Lord Grogar of Tambelon, in what could be Tambelon's final cycle, would be a curse that would reduce every equine and other creatures outside Tambelon itself into mindless dumb animal.
Unlike in either of those works however, this would indeed be a 'final last resort' by Grogar, since he has an incredibly hungry desire for more and more slaves (making a point that he much prefers slaves with opposable thumbs purely for pragmatic reasons), and stupid beasts of burden are a markably step-DOWN from intelligent slave labor. And would likely only use it if Tambelon's fall became an absolute inevitability otherwise.
This idea is purely optional canon and shouldn't be treated as anything more than that.
In regards to the Dark World timeline, I imagine Queen Libra (Rarity, note this is NOT Rarity's normal Alicorn name), put Minuette/The Master as the new royal governor of Tambelon, as a combination of 'booted upstairs', and knowing the city-state was too order oriented to be run by nearly anyone else without it descending into outright anarchy, and trapping Minuette/The Master with the endless mountain of paper work needed to keep the city functional.
Infinite Paperwork. True Hell.

For The Master.

At least he'll be able to say that he MASTERED how to do paperwork!

Touche.

That was what kids these days call a pun.

Dude. I knew that. I was trying to have fun here. There's no need to get condescending.

I didn't know that since it doesn't quite show in text.
