Manetezuma's Revenge

Trotalgar. That insignificant, weed-infested hilltop where one of History’s most important battles was won, once had an ill-famed square named after it in the old City of Everfree. That’s where Princess Celestia fought an opponent even she couldn’t win.

A potted plant.

From the Noble Inquirer, July 10th, Year 9 of the New Era, p.5.

The Plant That Soiled Trotalgar
Archeologists have recently unearthed fossilised remains of an ancient species within the same genus of flower as Poison Joke. The plant, dubbed the "Cruel Joke" by the Canterlot Castle's head Botanist, has since been linked with the urban legend involving Princess Celestia and the soiling of Trotalgar Sqr, by an unconfirmed anonymous source.
The plant is thought to have suddenly gone extinct roughly around the time of said urban legend, a little over a thousand years ago. Anonymous sources also claim that the timing coincides with the founding of Canterlot, and the moving of the nation's capital there, away from the old city of Everfree; a displacement that has flummoxed historians for years.
Princess Celestia has been unavailable to comment.
More on dangerous flora on p.15. Recipes on p.16.

Hope you enjoyed.
