The Changelings are pony-like creatures that first appear in the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic episode "A Canterlot Wedding part 2".
Appearance[]
They have a pony-like appearance along with insect features. They change their appearance to match that of ponies; in particular, Queen Chrysalis shapeshifts into Princess Cadence, and several changelings take the form of Twilight Sparkle and her friends. They have sheer insect-like wings, fangs, horns used for magic, and holes in their legs.
Diet[]
The changeling queen explains that the changelings feed on love; Changelings in folklore would take advantage of the love given to them by their unwitting caretakers.
