I, Monster - Editorial: New design no one seemed to notice · 12:57am Aug 12th, 2017
It was bigger than a pony, almost as big as one of the Princesses. Its skin was jet black, sans four white stripes crossing its chest like a ‘V’. The featureless face only sported two red eyes, surrounded by white markings, like the ones of a killer whale. There were also wings over the monster’s back, folded over it and covering most of its sides, but letting its forelegs out. The limbs were slightly red, ending in what looked like claws to Trixie. That’s when she noticed the chains surrounding the upper forelegs.

“Stars!” Trixie cried when she saw the three razor sharp claws. “What am I?!”
She fell back, sitting down between a bookshelf and a desk.
“What am I?” Trixie hugged her back legs against her barrel.
In case it wasn't clear enough (because we did try to keep it ambiguous and it's still kinda obscure), here's the original material:
Sorry, I'm not that good spotting references.
