What if, long ago, primitive ponies ate meat as well as plants? What if, when most ponies turned to farming the land, the meat-eaters were chased away into the caves. And what if they still survived today?
I've tried to decide to either condemn the queen for her actions. Or allow them. I have yet to reach a conclusion that doesn't make me question me sanity.
5359872 You definitely have to keep in mind that while she is technically sentient, she isn't quite entirely intelligent. Like, I would compare her intelligence to similar to that of a young child. She can think for herself fairly well, but her knowledge is limited and so she makes assumptions based on what she does know.
Not really many opportunities to learn what a 'normal' pony is when she's never seen one and has no access to any learning material. To her, they literally just looked like malformed Ghouls.
5359843 Hm. I'll consider it. Although I did say Celestia demanded that investigations ceased, so it's doubtful anything like that would actually happen.
I do definitely hope to use the Ghouls again in some form or another.
It'd be an odd-interesting idea to see them intersect more with canon characters in some way. Actually, now kind of curious what they would think of the alicorns, if they met.
That was downright demented but also sad and heartwarming in a twisted horrifying way. I think that I may need do be concerned about my mental health...
I'm glad ta did thia mate. I wanted more. Nice to see the ghouls aren't just a wild pack if meat eaters but are...civilized to a point. Now, to go become one

5359940 Is it okay if a child kills someone doing something they think will help them?

Yeah, I definitely wanted to paint them as seeming beast-like but in reality are just very primitive and tribal.
Nice going :)
That's messed up...but I like it
