8450984 Season 8 Premiere Villain : Mad scientist who crossbreeds fleas and horseflies. Easily overpowers Princess Celestia and Luna who are busy whimpering and desperately trying to scratch two hundred separate extremely itchy fleabites. Proceeds to enslave ponykind via promising a cure - the flea collars do work - without mentioning their mind control properties.
