I could also imagine that Sombra never was an alicorn, but the amulet's purpose was to give him alicorn-levels of power.


I'm not a brony, but I adore these videos. This fandom is wonderful and I love you guys, stay strong broskis

@Optimus prime polska What do you mean no?

Lmao a heart already? Well then, waiting to get pinned! 😂😂😂


A very informative theory I'd say, but I would have to disagree on the fact that King Sombra was previously an Alicorn. I've always fascinated by King Sombra's origin and the connection with the Alicorn Amulet - both have some similarities where both characteristics have the ability to manipulate others. While King Sombra already being powerful, there isn't evidence on whether or not if King Sombra knows about the Alicorn Amulet - if he did, when he was released in Season 9 why didn't he go after the amulet in the first place? He definitely would've used it against the mane6 and from there he would've stop them at an instant but  the amulet was locked up or practically destroyed by now. That's all I gotta say. Thanks for sharing!


the alicorn looks more like the pony of shadows to me (with the long horn, don't think that's right either though) and if it was sombra the horn would be at least curved but it's not, I think although it could work it isn't close enough.


I liken the Alicorn Amulet to The One Ring from The Lord of The Rings, with Sombra being its Sauron. He put all his Alicorn power into it, once he gets it back, he would far more powerful than any other alicorn


For some reason even tho your theory makes complete sense to me, I feel that the alicorn amulet resembles the pony of shadows. Because the shadow creature had an alicorn's wings and horn.


This also explains sombra’s backstory, he ruled the crystal empire as an Alicorn, his magic got sucked into the amulet, he couldn’t rule the empire any more, Cadance is the new ruler of the empire, sombra keep on trying and trying to redeem the empire.

But I recall a memory from the show, a flashback of Sombra ruling over the Empire, his cape was flowing in the wind, revealing his back and - no wings. But good theory tbh.

@Jaklin Tahmasian That's actually very smart...

Well the sisters magic was given to twilight and was not gone. I think the magic has a connection with the pony who uses it. So since the magic was still somewhere and wasn’t lost the sisters wings remained. Or because they gave it to Twilight willingly and twilight gave it to  tirek willingly in exchange for her friends. So maybe it’s all in the way it’s taken. If it’s given willingly than the wings still stay but if taken by force the wings leave. It might be all in the way the owner of the magic gives it. That’s just my theory it’s not cannon.


I'm just going to operate on the idea that Sombra is an artificial alicorn, with the amulet being how he became one. If he, at any point, would have access to it that is. Also, quick question: Why does Sci-Twi pony up with wings in the human world, yet is just a regular unicorn in Equestria?


Perhaps he wears that cape to hide his shame, the lack of wings he used to have.

Or, perhaps he used that amulate to make himself an alicorn. For a normal unicorn like Trixie, it just gave her a power boost, but for King Sombra, already very powerful, it was just enough extra magic to boost him over the edge into Alicornhood. Perhaps it was lost, or stolen, so he gave up on raw power and turned to mind control magic instead.

Thoughts?


Something about him makes me feel like he accidentally did it to himself trying to make the powerful amulet and was over taken by darkness


Sawtooth, maybe you could re-cover old topics you discussed before? Like how all gems are magical or the elements of disharmony(you did originally say the amulet might have been one) or even Flash Sentry, I remember when Sunset came back to the pony world, she saw Flash as a pony and looked a bit confused, shocked even.<br>Maybe you can go over all you're old theories and show which ones were true, which were debunked, which changed, and ones we will never know the truth to.

Question: "How does Sombra become an Alicorn?"


This is a really solid theory, however the biggest hole I see with it is that there is no material talking about the history of this

A third alicorn in Equestria besides the two sisters would be a pretty big deal... Let alone he being the only recorded male alicorn


Interesting theory, but I think it might be backwards - with Sombra creating the Amulet as part of an attempt to ASCEND to Alicornity. He's not one for ascending via virtues - he brute-forces everything. He's powerful enough to conquer Equestria single-hoofedly, but he's also short-sighted enough to lose it even quicker than he got it. This is the sort of person I could see pouring more and more and more magic - stolen from his subjects? - into the Amulet, expecting that "any second now" it would tip over some unknowable threshold and grant him wings.


We saw cozy glow become a ex-alicorn because she wasnt a true alicorn to begin with. The way I see it Sombra would have to be in the same boat as cozy was. A pony turned into a alicorn thanks to excess magic from a ancient relic. We haven't seen a alicorn who earned their wings lose them if I remember correctly, so that's what I thought


Him being an ex-alicorn actually explained how he became a king because it always buggd me how he became a king if he was just a unicorn.. but this makes so much sense to me and I can understand how he has the title king if he is just a unicorn .... mind... blown


I think the same thing you do but I think his wings were physically taken. Like they were ripped off of him. I know that sounds gruesome and gory but mlp is set in (I'm pretty sure but not absolutely certain) medieval times and punishments back then where terrifying. So I think that Sombra did something (like treason or something close to it) to get his wings ripped off. I think that that's why he (I presume) kept his alicorn like power when his wings were taken. Now you might ask "Then why wasn't Cozy Glow's horn ripped off?" Well... she's a kid and was being handled by the main 6. The main 6 isn't gonna rip off the horn of a child, but I'm sure that if she was handled back then before the main 6 then she might have had her horn AND wings taken from her.


This is just my ippionion but i think your right about sombra being an ex-alicorn, but as you mentioned there are other questions unanswerd like how he became an alicorn and i think i have an idea.
theese are my thoughts
so sombra was a normal unicorn who had about the same amount of magic as twilight before she met her friends. Much like twilight he was taken under the wings off a alicorn a celestia type figure named sunstrike, sunstrike is the same sunstrike who is celestias mother and old ruler of the crystal empire, this would explain why celestia could do a dark spell much like sombras and maybe thats how twilight could do it its just a thing past down for pretection against evil, just incase it evr would reach the empire.
fast forward a couple years like twilight sombra gained be a alicorn but one faitfull day he came across sunstrikes hidden possestion that she stole from the king who ruled the empire before her the alicorn amulet, sombra used it for great evil eventualy destroying sunstrike and taking controll over the whole empire, but celestia and luna defeated him and became rulers of equestria when the empire returned twilight ,spike and her friends helped defeat sombra and restored the empire and the ponies then shortly after cadence took over the crystal empire with celestias permision and much like sombra had gained alicorn powers but instead of spreading hate and envy she spread the exact oppostite love. Fast forward to when sombra came back and was defeated again by twilight and her friends and the student 6 he had the power to destroy the tree of harmony the power not even discord had when he destroyed it he was in a smoke form much like night mare moon appeard in , in the first ever episode of mlp friendship is magic, maybe when he appeard as smoke he gained his alicorn powers back giving him the magic he needed to destroy the tree.
i dont know those were just some theories but what do u think?


Perhaps the amulet was created when he was initially destroyed as something akin to a 'horcrux'. Thus it would not physically change anypony else, yet it could still influence their mental state and their power in a way of possession. Can explain why he came back in the episodes without wings. Yet if he ended up getting the amulet himself, it could trigger a reaction that would restore his full self.


Just a thought....
I think it is called an alicorn amulet because of the fact that it contains tremendous amount of energy in it. I mean, for one thing, Grogar is not an alicorn for the record, but he does have a magic power and wisdom that compete the two sisters' themselves.

One more note, I don't know if this will also count but, when Tirek sucked out the "alicorn magic" from Twilight, it did not really remove her wings (the same goes with the 3 other princesses).
 (But I also thought that maybe, there is this wall between taking somepony's magic and taking a pony's "alicorness.")

This leads me to 2 conclusions:
1. That an evil from the past stored his magic within the amulet so that his evil deeds can still prosper even if he disappears or better yet,
2. that pony (or creature) stored himself within the amulet and gives his victims powers but at the same time, feeds from their evil deeds which corrupts them (or controls them).


You have my utmost respect for staying strong in this fandom even though the show ended


If the amulet did absorb his alicorn magic like the Bewitching Bell, wouldn't he no longer be able to cast  spells like as a unicorn? Besides, the bell stole Celestia and Luna's magic, and they kept their wings. And the bell is supposed to be a more powerful artifact.


Maybe Sombra had enought of his own magic so that the amulet would boost his to the alicorn form. While Trixie is so powerless (sorry Trixie fans) that even the boost couldn't get her that high up.


I’d like to think the whole Sombra and the Alicorn Amulet thing is similar to his form in the L Trains wonderful symphonic metal Opera: Fall of an Empire, where Sombra had a magical artifact that made him immortal, it gave him purple transparent onyx wings, like an Alicorn....who knows it could be a possibility that Sombra created the Alicorn Amulet so he could rule the Crystal Empire forever, but then Celestia and Luna took him down, leaving the Alicorn Amulet behind


It could easily be something created from Sombras defeat, like his hatred for Alicorns manifesting as an alicorn amulet.

Also "the amulet explains him being an x Alicorn" you need actual proof he was one to begin with and no Cozy Glow being one once ISN'T an answer.

I think there's enough to say the amulet is related to or connected to Sombra however your claim the magic was taken away from him and stored into an amulet like this isn't really supported and only goes off random assumptions.

Meanwhile using the logic that there is a good likely Hood Sombra was the original unicorn king and lost his throne because of Alicorns he would have reason to hate them, not become them, hence mastering dark magic and becoming more powerful than all the Alicorns (which if you'd like I can prove as well.)

But if removing the magic from an Alicorn makes them become an EX-Alicorn, then back when Tirek wreaked havoc in Season 4, why didn't Cadence lose her Horn(since she was born a Pegasus), and Twilight didn't lose her wings? I'd understand if Celestia & Luna were both Born as Alicorns and their Horns & Wings were Naturally a part of them, but Cadence & Twilight both Ascended into Alicorns, so if it was being filled with a specific kind of magic that was keeping them as Alicorns, then when Cadence transferred All her Alicorn Magic to Twilight, and Tirek drained Twilight of All the Alicorn magic, then why didn't those two become EX-Alicorns like your theory would suggest?


I think I agree with your theory. Maybe, at first, Sombra was a good pony? So someone changed him into an Alicorn- But he became evil and did not want to lose his alicorn power, so he ran away? But a few decades later someone stole the Amulet from him. Remember who sold the Amulet to Trixie? I think his(The one who sold the Alicorn Amulet) relative or one of his ancestors stole it from Sombra so that he wouldn't be too powerful and destroy whatsoever...<br>Sorry I forgot most of the series but I think Zecora- stole it

What if the alicorn amulet belonged to the pony of shadows. When star swirl and the other pillars contained him in Pon Henge, that's when his dark powers must have been contain in that amulet as the pony of shadows, Stegien was an alicorn before, as shown<br> That's why when Trixie tried to access that power, she became corrupt as that's what happened to Stegien. As power is never lost, it must be contained in something, as in the alicorn amulet.

It could have been the two sister when they came to fight him in the past. If he was very Powerful and good at fighting with his magic they could have use the amulet to weaken him by locking away his Alicorn manic before using the elements of harmony to steal him away.

About Sombra being an Alicorn, Actuallly; Sombra enslaved Earth Ponies, Pegasus and Unicorns in the Crystal Empire during his time ruling that land. He ruled over all kind of Ponies in that Era, He could get his Alicorn magic by enslaving those different Ponies at once. Eventually, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna defeated him but...why?
I guess He lost his Unicorn magic before the Royal Sister beated him and freed the Crystal Empire.

Sombra can use alicorn magic but so could Twilight when Celestia taught it to her just before she went to the Crystal Empirte (which was before she ascended) so Sombra being an alicorn doesn't hold much water.


My own theory is about Hollow Shades, the town where Gideon got to embrace the power of darkness.
It was said that the town was abandonned "eons ago" by his population, all the remaining being the "only dark place in Equestria", and deep underground seems to be a Sanctuary, or a Temple to the glory of a dark-Alicorn-like figures.
We can think that this figure is just a representation of the Darkness, but I think the Alicorn amulet was an artefact of an ancient alicorn.

This supposed Alicorn had embrace the true magic that embodied his or her race, the dark kind that was shown before. When Twilight use dark magic to activate the memory potion it was when Zecora asked to use "Alicorn magic" implying that dark magic is "inherent" to alicorn in some form (which explain why they can have a dark form like Nightmoon and Daybreaker).

It leads to two outcome for the amulet for me :
- It is called the Alicorn Amulet only because it contain the raw power of Alicorn, dark magic which corrupt mind, control others and therefore embody the vision of the nature of an Alicorn, evil, selfish and powerhungry.
- It really contained some amount of power directly taken (or given) by an Alicorn but which one ?

For me, it's not Sombra, it's the Darkness itself who once was an Alicorn, but for some reason was "reduced" to a shadow of its former glory.
When Twilight or even Cadance lose their magic, they didn't became back unicorn and pegasus, they just lose their power but their nature still exist, Cozy Glow was an alicorn only because the pony race way to deal with an incredible amount of power in them is to "evolve to Alicorn".

But if an artefact is called "The Alicorn Amulet", it clearly implies that it belong to something or somepony who once was really an Alicorn, because it would imply that if it belonged to Sombra, it's power wasn't his at the first place and still put a lot of questions into the origins of the power in it, even if he did used the artefact.
So the theory is...

"Once upon a time, in an isolate town in Equestria, a powerful alicorn existed. But her purpose was tainted, tainted by the dark power within her glorious race.
She created a Temple to her glory and made pony around her followers, offering power to them in exchange of their devotion.
But at some point, one of her follower wanted the Alicorn power for himself, so in secret he created an artefact, an Amulet that would contain the power of this godlike figure.
He give the amulet as a gift, a representation of his devotion, but when she put the amulet on, it was activated... it absorbed all the power that made her what she was, an Alicorn, riping her apart when everything she is ceised to be.

And after that, in an endless scream, the Dark Alicorn was gone... the Amulet didn't just take her power, but her nature, bringing with it not only raw power but also dark intent, selfishness and finaly hatred.
But something cannot just... disappear, the Alicorn was gone, her followers starting to leaving finaly free while even the creator of the Artefact fled, but her shadow was still here... only a deformed image of her seeking only revenge, weak, without a body or a true form... whispering to those alone or betrayed to give them power while regaining more herself, taking their bodies as an host."


I think there is a point, where the analogy between Cozy Glow and ex-alicorn Sombra collapses. Cozy Glow wasn't originally an alicorn and could therefore be "reduced" to being a pegasus again when being freed of Grogar's bell magic. But if Sombra was originall an alicorn and was robbed of his alicorn magic, why should he become a unicorn instead of a pegasus or earth pony [umbrum]?<br>Of course you could argument that whoever it was didn't take all his magic, but this would be both discriminatory to the other tribes who would, like this, be classified as generally less magical, as well as stupid by anyone who was interested in making sure Sombra wouldn't cause harm anymore.

Ah, the comics, they are always such a  strange point of discussion. The comics creators and Hasbro itself has said they are canon until they contradict the show. Meaning that Sombra's entire back story was wiped from the comics. The way they describe it, Sombra turning good is as canon to the comics as it is to the show.

 But at the same time, they have shown umbra years later suggesting  that the entire species and possibly Sombra being one, is canon. Plus, there is the fact that the comics want to be called canon now that the show ended. I mean, they even named the next batch of comics "season ten" suggesting they are 100% canon now.


I just want to see more theory’s about sombra, he is one of the most mysterious characters in the show

there is a lot of lore about him on the comics


I agree because alacorn magic cannot be destroyed ,but transfer to other alacorns to (maybe even) gems. Since gems are very important and have magical abilities like the elements of harmony.


I kinda thought something different about the Alicorn amulet, I thought that it was just a powerful gem but when king sombra's corrupted personality reached the amulet, it made it evil. Just like what happened to grogar, someone, like gusty the great or starswirl, could've taken the amulet from him and he became a normal unicorn again. I think this because when sunset shimmer put twilight's crown on, it made her evil


Grey and red also represent evil, doi. And the grey figure might've also meant an anonymous figure. Otherwise, great vid. Keep it up.


I like to think it would be harder to remove the wings of the four princesses since i feel like they earned the wings and Clozy just stole it so it would be a easier to un-alicorn her.


I thinkthe reason the amulet corrupted her is based off Trixie's ego. She thinks she so perfect it gets to her head and she comes corrupted. but the sombra idea is interesting.


I enjoyed watching this video, and I don't mean to kinda ruin it in any way...but wasn't confirmed in the comics that Sombra isn't a "pony", but rather a creature in disguise? So wouldn't it be technically impossible for him to be an actual alicorn since he isn't even a pony?


I do agree with this theory and have a similar one!<br>Maybe, what if some ponies like, Twilight Sparkles or Rainbow Dash's great great great grandparents(Born when Celstia and Luna were) what if their great great great grandparents were alicorns? But ex alicorns. Maybe, they became ex alicorns and started unicorns, earth ponies, and pegisi? So maybe all ponies have alicorn magic in them, they just don't use it like Twilight did, use like a alicorn? How do earth ponies have magic? ALICORN GREAT GREAT GREAT GRANDPARENTS! Maybe some ponies, the alicorn magic comes out and they become a alicorn, maybe even the alicorn magic guiding the pony to become a alicorn not Celstia? So, what if the ALICORN MAGIC chooses which pony becomes a alicorn? Thats probably why not all ponies are alicorns, the alicorn magic chooses the pony that's most suited!

Another unrelated theory I just came up with:<br>What if Twilight is the reincarnation of clover the clever? Like how the pegasi, earth ponies and the unicorns never got  along, the leaders and the servants that brought them together got reincarnated as the 6 best friends destined to be the  very saviors of equestria?

What if Sombra used the amulet to become an alicorn when he wore it? That makes sense in calling it the Alicorn Amulet. It’s purpose was to Alicornify the user


Ah the Alicorn Amulet, one of the most powerful and one of my personal favorite magical artifacts in the mlp series, i've always thought that it's too bad that the amulet's powers were meant for evil i mean just imagine the kinds of good such untold power could be used for, but it's a good thing the Mane 6 managed to hide it again..ponies like Trixie don't deserve such power.

The Commenter Dragon That's actually a pretty good theory!

@Iceclaw 55 Actually i remember when they found the book about the amulet, Rarity said that even though the amulet grants untold power it also corrupts the user, so yeah i think that's all it does, unless...i sometimes theorized that what if the Alicorn Amulet is one of those evil magical artifacts that's meant for evil, but the only one it can't corrupt is someone that is pure of heart?...you know kinda like a chosen one thing.

If the amulet boosts the users emotions mabye it can boost positive emotions as well as bad, unless I'm wrong and it only corrupts the user


I think my theory is

Alicorn amulet, is basically an amulet used to zap away any unicorn who discovered the power to ascend into alicornhood. Which with that power drove them into become full of themselves with power and which lead to bad magic and cause chaos before the friendship of magic was born Celestia would have a high ranked unicorn with the special ability in making enchanting jewelry which gave her the amulet to represent bad alicorn magic, or alicorn in general. She would use it to take away the bad alicorn's magic and revert them back to a unicorn which results it being stored away but later was stolen and sold. But whomever wears it was able to use the past alicorn magic created in it. Which is why Trixie was so more evil it boosted her to go for revenge to the point it made her believe she deserved a lot more then praise


I'd like a theory on how much MLP currency is compared to real world currencies. How much is three bits? Do we base the cost on the price of gold, or the item they're buying? I've always wondered this!


But... When Celestia, Luna and Cadence had all their magic transferred to Twilight... How come THEY didn't un-become alicorns?

Most likely because they transferred their magic to Twilight willingly. The one time Celestia and Luna had their magic forcibly absorbed by Cozy Glow was when she only drained their unicorn magic.

Because that was given away willingly, I think, and they were Born Alicorns, while Sombra may have got his Alicorn magic from dark crystals(he was a umbrum), and then his so obtained powers must have been absorbed in some cheap amulet due to magic mishaps, and then that cheap amulet having absorbed those powers got that colour scheme. So that was unwilling abosrption of powers, but the Princesses gave Twilight Permission to use theirs, so they only maintained basic powers and their physical form, but Sombra's got torn from him in every aspect


Sombra may have made the amulet to boost his powers. When he died, possibly killed by  luna, his amulet became an artifact. An evil artifact that possesses the wearer. Maybe Sombra is the one who hates wheels. Trixie has wheels on her wagon so she doesn't normally act that way.


Me watching this: so if he's not an Alicorn he still could have been one

Sawtooth waves: "he is a ex alicorn"

Me:oh my god


Sombra being an ex alicorn makes sense. For me it's also a reason that I wanted to ruel the Cristal empire so badly because he was once the ruler of it then he became curupted and sompony took his alicorn magic (does that make sense?...)


This theory supports my head canon theory hybrid that is that male alicorns can, have, do, or at least will exist! Thanks you so much for these theories Sawtooth Waves, keep up the great work!


And an even bigger question would be..what would happen if the alicorn amulet was destroyed and the magic within released?


I always felt Sombra was alicornish. But this is an amazing theory.


I think there's still a little more to it. Your collab with Canned Cream on the Elements of Disharmony years ago really stuck with me and I think over the course of the series, we encountered three other magical artifacts (or at least the magic that once powered them): the Inspiration Manifestation spell book, Stygian's Shadow, and Juniper Montage's Mirror from EQG. Each of these had similar properties and effects on their wielder. They all created a bond with their user to the point where just separating them from the artifact was either not enough to neutralize the threat (Juniper's Mirror, Rarity's book) or separating them from the artifact wasn't possible by conventional means (Trixie had to voluntarily remove the Alicorn Amulet, Stygian had to be pulled away from the Shadow by the combined magic of the Elements of Harmony). Additionally, these "Elements of Disharmony" all seemed to actively seek out a host. The Alicorn Amulet and the Shadow were both said to "call out" to the ponies who would eventually use them, and the magic that possessed Juniper's mirror may have seemed to just be a random occurrence but there's no way to guarantee that it was. Lastly, all four "elements" had the same addictive and corrupting effects on their users. Trixie, Juniper, Stygian, and Rarity each became drunk on the power granted to them and became serious threats to others as well as themselves.

All of that together makes me think there's something in common with these four artifacts, whether they're "Elements of Disharmony" or not.
I definitely think it's something worth thinking about.


Sombra isnt an ex-Alicorn. There is a Comoc,where Sombras backstory is shown: He was an Unicorn born in the Crystal Empire and became sick every year by the event of tje Crystal Heart. He finds out,that dark magic is inside him and uses this to take over the Empire.

Sorry but the Comics aren't canon because they contradict the show multiple times so yeah this theory can still work

The comics are explicitely a different timeline. Sombra is the biggest piece of proof that the comic version of him cannot be the same as the show version. They both have entirely opposite fates.

Honestly, I consider any elements who aren't in the show are not canon with the serie. It is canon, but not with the show, it's kind of like it was an alternative universe. If they need another platform to talk about that, it's because they have other ideas (for example, making the viewers guess).

IS IT TRUEEE IS IT BY LAUREN FAULSE OR HOWEVER YOU SAY ITTT

not yelling

I dont think the comics are Canon just because they do contradict certain elements of the show


problem with this is at what point could sombra have been an alicorn, we already saw his colt years so its hard to find a place where this fits


Remember your “Sombra being with Chrysalis” theory? I feel like how he got his wings was from him being a king. His name is “King Sombra” for a reason…


The fall of a empire with L-train symphonic metal orchestra is personally the true story of Sombra and how the Alicorn amulet actually didn't absorb his Alcorn magic but made him into one

I know this is unrelated but in one of Cantersoft’s video she explained about Luna’s black marking on her cutie mark, I wanted to add on that and in the video he told that Luna’s real cutie mark is the white moon and not the black marking, but when starlight changed each other cutie marks the black marking has also been gone, so in her video he told the dark mark might be from the shadow pony which makes sense but what if that black marking filled with darkness led to Celestial becoming Daybreaker.........just a theory I thought of 😉


That's awesome! If I ever finish my Fanfic (which I may not. It's based on information that was proven wrong, and a couple misunderstandings) I'm totally using this!


I think the amulet is like the Ring of lord of the Ring it mich gave the Person who wear it    Mode magic Power but of sombra became it back he would be get back his wings because he stored the magic to be a alicorn  in the amulet. I think it is a reverce.


If you read the comics the likely thing would be Sombra's mom, his mom appears to be trapped in some sort of crystal form which looks just like the chrystal on the amulet. The amulet might even be her trapped magical powers and the alicorn could be her true form!


Now could we get the Sombra reformation thing according to this universe's canon. (Yes there is already a Comic version but I'd like to see how would it be possible in the original timeline)


I really liked the sombra theory, I think Sombra lost his alicorn magic, before he was banished, maybe he puted his alicorn magic on the amulet, for some reason
This is what I think abou the origin of alicorns
Hearts and hooves alicorn
" Apparently, some prince a long time ago whipped up this recipe and gave it to this princess he liked. He meant it to be a love potion, but things didn't turn out so well."
" Well, there's something here about a dragon, the kingdom falling, chaos reigning... Okay, apparently it was all because the prince and princess were so lost in each other's eyes that they couldn't perform their royal duties. "
That is what we know of this princess, mentioned in Hearts and hooves day.
So this is what I think of alicorns:
Long ago, even before Equestria was founded, there was a kingdom, ruled by an alicorn princess, an earth pony prince gave her a love potion that turned to be a love poison, they couldn't perform their royal duties and the kingdom fall into chaos
Celestia and Luna lived on this kingdom with their alicorn parents, who died in this chaos.
Equestria was founded. One day princess Celstia helped the unicorns raising the sun.
Star Swirl saw her potential, so he took both sisters and trained them to became the new rulers of Equestria. He created a dimension where ponies with the potential to became alicorns are transported and transformed into alicorns.
He studied alicorns and created a spell to transform ponies into alicorns, giving the magic from the 3 types of ponies to the ponies that are meant to rule.
The pilars go to limbo, and Nightmare moon is banished to the moon.
Cadence is transported to the magical dimension and is turned into an alicorn, Celestia takes her to Canterlot.
The same happened to Twilight.
Shining armor and Cadence have a child Flurry Heart, her desteny was to rule the Crystal Empire, and has alicorn magic from her mother so she is born alicorn.
What do you think of the theory?

I also have another theory, that Starlight should be the princess of learning. She learned from Twilight, and now she runs a school

Before the sisters were born there at least 1000 years, but I don´t think that more time than that. Because Tirek described, Grogar, as ancient, the same way ponies described Nightmare moon.
If a way of creating alicorns was already discoverd, why didn't a powerful wizard create one? They knew that ponies were losing their magic by raising the sun and moon.
Maybe the castle of the two sisters was actually the castle of the love poison princess, on the castle we see statues from alicorns. And that's why the everfree fores is chaotic, cause the big chaos happend there .
You are right it is not a theory at all, but it makes scense, and it is not easy to explainit on a comment.

And... where is the theory?

Princess (alicorn) before the sisters? Well, this is obvious, since the amount of time in this universe until the sisters and ancient civilizations are not described, so magicians powerful enough to transform could very well exist. Besides the fact that one princess associated with love poison definitely existed. The death of the Sisters' parents? Well, it could be anything you like, since they are not described. Sisters may even be artificial creatures. Creating a dimension for alicorns? Starswirl did not necessarily create it, it could have been anyone, even just a confluence of natural-magical circumstances.

It's just that, as I see it, there are not many theories. More like listing facts with a touch of your own opinion. (Not that theories did not consist of this =), but this opinion is not enough here)

@IceCream Scooper Maybe if we want to include this video about Sombra, he was an alicorn from thhis place, I hope Sawtooth reads this

As much as I like this theory, I don't really see how there would be an alicorn princess before Equestria was founded or even after, considering the Heart's warming story play. The unicorn kingdom was ruled by a unicorn, obviously. This is how I see it

The kingdom of the alicorn princess might not even be from Equestria grounds,  rather ftom a kingdom that fell after the chaos of the love potion, even after the spell broke between the princess and prince, the kingdom was too broken to fix and was left in ruins. Ponies left from that land might have written the book to tell the story.

I am not against this theory or you, just trying to put together some thoughts I had

@insomnianimations wait so am i, i just am a bit dyslexic so i lose track of where i am alot

@Neio-San sorry i- uh- i'm just a fast reader i guess-

@insomnianimations YES WHY IS THAT SUPRISING!??!

@Aaira Omar I was watching Sawtooh video, and I thought of all the alicorns and I remembered the episode and came up with this

@Aaira Omar oh god im just really good a reading introversion for the wiiiin~

well dang i just wasted 15mins of my class reading this... AND IT WAS SOOO WORTH IT :3


Hey sawtooth, I have a theory upon this. First, i thought it was Gusty the Great, as she had guts' to take Grogard's bell. But i then changed it. I think it was Star Swirl..

Look, Star Swirl could have made Sombra an Alicorn to protect the land as he was getting old, also along side the princesses, as Sombra must not be strong enough to raise the sun nor the moon...

Then, Star Swirl realized that Sombra was using his powers for evil and slaving ponies...

He must have made an amulet and stored his ONLY ALICORN powers.

He thought Sombra would learn by this, but he didn't, so Star Swirl Went to Defeat him. But then the Shadow of ponies business was to take care of...

I presume, Sombra went to fight the Shadow of Ponies so he could be the only vilain, but lost all his powers and became weak...

Then Star Swirl told the princesses about Sombra and how he lost all his power and told them to secure the Amulet and protect the land...

He didnt tell them what he was planning to do, as he was sure Sombra would rise again...

As the time moved on, The princess Defeated Sombra, and he got slaved..

But when NightMare Moon came to power, she destroyed the Castle of the 2 Sisters, the Alicorn Amulet's Place......

Then When Celestia banished Night Mare Moon, she told one of her trusty pony, to keep it safe in his shop( like when Trickcy Found the Amulet). She told him not to give it to anyone and keep it hidden

She knew very less people would come to his shop as his shop must be where no pony goes much......

That would explain everything

I hope you liked my theory see you soon

Please use this theory for your next video if it is perfect, you can edit it too


If Sombra didn't make the amulet, I have a theory about its possible origins and it will involve Flurry Heart a tiny bit too.

You see, after the debut episode of Flurry Heart, many fans even now are debating if Celestia and Luna are natural born Alicorn's or not. It would make sense that Luna wouldn't know about how Alicorn's are born, but not really for Celestia unless they are very close in age and had been very young during whatever event caused for the other Alicorn's to vanish. And I believe they both where still fillies when the Pillars had been around which might have been mentioned in both the comics & in the show.

So the amulet could have belonged to a random Alicorn and either the Alicorn was evil or got corrupted somehow like the amulet was once a plain amulet until a spell was misused & caused the original owner to turn evil. Though has anyone thought that the Alicorn Amulet is a bit like an Element of Disharmony?


Interesting fan fiction, but what about the Umbrum ponies, of which that Sombra is a member of?

Alicorndom is granted to someone who achieved access to all 3 of the core tribes. Trixie being a unicorn, probably only would think of the unicorn powers, But I would imagine whoever wore that amulet would also find their strength and endurance increased too. I wonder if they would at least gain the cloud walking and weather manipulation as well (if they don't have wings, probably couldn't straight out fly).

In the shorts of Celestia's magic school, talking about how magic works, we learn that Equestrian magic is very intent and emotion-driven. It is likely that Whoever made that, got the power of a Unicorn, pegasus, and earth pony into one artifact and being a spiteful being, that intent traveled into it.


Or it was the other way around. Sombra did not make the amulet, it was the one that gave him his power. Maybe the amulet not only corrupts the pony from the inside but also on the outside through continuous exposure. If Trixie were to keep wearing the amulet her body would turn dark. Her magical aura and pupils were already turning red like Sombra's


Sawtooth: Alicorns aren't evil, well they can be. shows nightmare moon and cozy glow
Day Breaker: Am i a joke to you?

Sawtooth: Alicorns aren't evil, well they can be. *shows nightmare moon and cozy glow*
Day Breaker: Am i a joke to you?


there must have been more magic in grogars bell then the ablulet its self and some might have magic from alicorns to and cozy glow became one but crastalist is a alicorn changling and tirek did not get wings which is good but cozy glow did not have to earn hers just with magic.


I have a theory. In the episode that starlight is friends with trixie, Trixie says “ soul sucking amulet” I think that when sombra’s soul is pure alicorn magic and the alicorn amulet took some of that power when sombra took it off.


that would explain how he became royalty in the first place. either he inherited his place in regency or he gained his place in the ruling class via obtaining enough magic like twilight.


What if an alicorn wore the amulet? I dont want to know how much more powerful they would be. Also i have a little theory for how sombra became an alicorn since he is part umbrum which are winged creatures and he is also a unicorn maybe at first he had the umbrum wins and an unicorn horn or somthing?

@CANAL DA KETHY One doesn't simply stumbles with magic that can vanish entire kingdoms, turns you into an immortal shadow being and endure the elements magic, because Sombra wasn't really defeated by the elements, he was attacked with the elements but resisted enough time to cast a curse over the kingdom, and also, is strange how the elements' rainbow beam turn the villians into stone, but Sombra lost his body

Maybe they would just become evil. I dunno.


Theory.

Sombra put his magic into the amulet himself. He did this so that if he were to be destroyed, the amulet could be used to regenerate him from whatever remains of his body.

Don't know if this is that good, but I tried.

Or to give that to someone who will like sees the way he does but does not have enough power and they could do the evil tuings


No one:

Not even twilight:

Not even pinkie pie:

Sawtooth Waves: YOSHI DARKLORD

No one:

Not even twilight:

Not even pinkie pie:

Sawtooth Waves: *YOSHI DARKLORD*


Well, I don't think so... If Sombra knew about an amulet that contains his power he would  search it. And if Trixie could find it. Then an smoke-like Sombra could easily find and steal it. I don't think he would go  in battle against Equestria (5 season Starlight's spell) without his full power. Or fight against Cadance and all Cristal Impire. So it is illogical


You know.. their was an theory I heard a few years ago:
Sombra’s cutie mark made him like that.
We learn in season one cutie marks are your destiny, and we see in applebloom’s dream how cutie marks changed her(even though it’s a dream this could be real.) that your cutie mark can make or break ya.
We Also know that their are “bad” cutie marks. That you can get a cutie mark for the worse things.
The theory goes that sombra was, believe it or not, once good. But he got his cutie mark, sadly that was his destiny… maybe he tried to fight it, I believe you can define your destiny but it’s not something that you can just do… and it could be that he fought against his cutie mark and failed…
Now, his cutie mark Controls him, and if he could be reformed, the cutie mark crusaders could help him. Help him see the light of his cutie mark.


I think that Sombra realized that his reign might end, so he took his magic and put it into the amulet. He probably meant to store it somewhere for his return. That's why he put on a cape, to hide the fact his wings were gone. But eventually someone found that amulet.


Then why did sombra only lose his wings and not horn?

Maybe the amulet was belonged to another ruler, that Sombra, a unicorn at the time,took for himself.


maybe sombra was an alicorn who onced ruled the crystal empire, then he was banished as a shadow leaving a curse in the crystal empire.

when he was banished he lost his wings and some of his power, that power is stored inside that amulet. the wings he had are deleted for eternity


I really like your intro - short, fast colorful and connected to music! No complains here!


I HAVE A QUEEN CHRYSALIS THEORY

So, In the Canterlot Wedding, Queen Chrysalis perfectly copies Cadence while in the later seasons she can transform but she shares her voice with her voice when she isn't transformed, In other words the more love Queen Chrysalis has taken, the more powerful she becomes and ponies are unable to tell the difference with Queen Chrysalis and the creature she copied (besides the green horn glow)

Here is proof on what I'm talking about (listen to her voice)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJw0ktrsv6w
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsBvEFep_D8


way back when I entered the fandom, I didn't see many episodes so I thought the amulet had something to do with sombra too but nah XD I've been trying to figure this out for a while but gave up


I think that zombra was already a corrupted unicorn, for me i think he tried to make himself more powerful and the cost of that was his wings, maybe he gave up his wings for magic unicorn power.

It could also be that zombra was no one, and just studied magic or something and somone offered him the amulet that gave him power and also made him curropted.


“Who came toe-to-toe with Sombra?”<br>I believe the correct word you’re looking for.....is hoof-to-hoof.

Que teoría (? tan interesante.
  En ciertos puntos tiene mucha lógica...
Bien video


there is one big problem, he was never a real pony,he is/was an Umbrum (cannon from the IDW-comics), and in the comics there was never a hint that he was an alicorn (or something like that).

my theory, the amulet was created (maybe by sobra or an other magic using and power hungry indviduum [or other umbrum].) just to amplyfy power, but where light is, there is shadow -> corruption.


I think Sombra might’ve been a unicorn then became an alicorn from starts with the bearded thinking that he would be a good male à la corn and then took away his wings when he learned what he was and was an umberum  Also while I was writing this he said that Sombra is an ex Alcorn I wrote this before he even said it and while I was watching a video so don’t think I’m a copywriter but I don’t think use the Amlett to turn himself into Alcorn I think starts with a beer did that and took it away from him because if you ever read the comics you would see how Sombra is some type of Crystal Empire subject I don’t know how to spell it so hopefully what I spell before was right sorry if it wasn’t<br>Edit; I think either starts with the bearded or the ruler of the Crystal Empire before princess cadence went toe to toe with Sombra and took away his Alcorn wings

Edit; I think either starts with the bearded or the ruler of the Crystal Empire before princess cadence went toe to toe with Sombra and took away his Alcorn wings


Does anyone know of videos theorizing/explaining why Sombra looks the way he does?


I believe sombra (ex KING of the crystal empire) was either A: transformed into an alicorn just like cadence, by celestia to signify his royalty, and he later became evil and prideful of the power, causing celestia and luna to take his power away (via amulet) when he was banished. or B: he like celestia/ luna was "born" or "came to this world" as an alicorn to rule but ended with the same fate ^  (or at least thats my theory, but I think sombra was an alicorn, born or or not)


There is only one problem I have with this theory.

This is taking into consideration that the comics are kind of canon. There is a comic called My Little Pony Volume 3 in a part of the comic book called SIEGE OF THE CRYSTAL EMPIRE. In this comic, it goes into Sombra's backstory before he became King Sombra and his childhood.

The story goes that Sombra was conceived my demonic creatures called the Umbrum. He was a pony conceived of their magic and was supposedly destined to take over the Crystal Empire and free the Umbrum so that they may take Equestria for themselves. Of course, after he killed the first Princess of the Crystal Empire and took over for a small period of time, the Two Sisters along with the Crystal Heart banished him to the icy depths beyond.

But Sombra, as a foal, had a friend named Radiant Hope and even developed feelings for her. Radiant Hope was one of Celestia's pupils to become the next Alicorn Princess. Possibly before Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle.

One day, foal Sombra and Radiant Hope (also a foal) went to visit the original Crystal Heart at the Crystal Fair. Radiant Hope saw that she has the possibility to become a princess, but Sombra saw his future as the King of Darkness. This vision set Sombra down a path that he foresaw and believed to be unavoidable. As he grew up, he began to grow sick everyday on the Crystal Fair and this is implied to be him transforming ever so slightly into his destined form created by the Umbrum. Eventually, he does so and the inner darkness breaks loose, as he attacks the Crystal Empire which imprisons the Umbrum. If he can destroy or even manipulate the power of the Empire, then the Umbrum's crystal prison can be undone. But he was defeated. It is even explained that Radiant Hope is the one who informed the Two Sisters of Sombra's takeover.

Truth be told, he was never an Alicorn and in his past there is no mention of an Alicorn Amulet. Sombra's backstory kind of reminds me of Darth Vader in a way, but that's another story.

This comic also goes into how Sombra can always come back in someway shape or form. If ANY PART OF HIM is left to fester for long enough, he can come back from that one piece.

There is only one issue that this comic creates with MLP's plot. The fact that Sombra becomes reformed and un-corrupted, thanks to Twilight Sparkle and Radiant Hope, and how him and Radiant Hope run off as two lovers. But in season 9 of MLP (the show) we see that Sombra comes back in his all evil form. My explanation for that is that Grogar (or Discord) brought back the DARKNESS of Sombra. When Sombra was reformed, that darkness created by the Umbrum must have gone somewhere. It cannot just disappear. So it was always my belief that Discord just brought back the darkness of Sombra and not the pony himself. That would explain the change of character since we last saw him in the show before Season 9.

But that's a theory for another day. The point is: if this comic is to be taken as CANON, and this shows Sombra's past, then he has nothing to do with the Alicorn amulet. I'm not sure where that leaves this now, but this is just a theory, right? A theory is meant to have evidence to back it up, it is meant to be criticised and built upon, but most importantly: it is just an IDEA.

So, please, this is just a theory. AN MLP THEORY!!

Wow, you read to this point? Damn. You sure do have nothing better to do with your life, huh? Hey, I get it. I'm wasting my life by writing this!

One problem: Trixie didn’t become an Alicorn when she wore the amulet.

Challenging Armadillo Yes!! This is what I was thinking.

@Verserer Gred I don't get why you want us to admit it because it is already accepted, but ok.

She didn't absorb the magic so of course not.

Umm not exactly. If I wield a sword made of god, it does not mean that I am a god. The same applies here. Just because she wields an alicorn amulent does not mean she becomes an alicorn. Cozy glow is a different story. She absorbs the magic of the three pony races via the bell, making her an alicorn.

I guess but think, you became an alicorn only if you absorved the magic, like Closy Wlow. Something that Trixi didn t because the amulete only share magic.

(Sorry for my inglish, i hope you can understandme :)

Just because you wear the amulet doesn’t mean you become one. You become an Alicorn by absorbing magic from all three tribes. The amulet simply allowed you to harness and project the magic. Sure, the use of it corrupted a pony but think of it like a Horcrux from Harry Potter, the best example being the locket. Even if they wore the thing that harnessed Voldemort’s soul, it didn’t just allow them to become like Voldemort or even see into his mind. Harry was able to because part of Voldemort’s soul was inside of him. But even if the wearer wasn’t exactly connecting with the soul, it still had the power to corrupt the wearer


Not to rain on your parade, but if losing magic "un-alicorns" an alicorn, then why are Twilight, Celestia, Luna, and Cadence all still alicorns when tirek sucks out so much magic from them that they lose their cutie marks?

To be honest, it was clear that Cozy Glow becoming an alicorn was an unnatural transformation, and insane amounts of magic doesn't just make you an alicorn (look at Pinkie when she gets Discord powers). I would say that Cozy's alicorn form was something of her own design, that she willed it to be because she perceives alicorns as powerful, and it is unrelated to the alicorn amulet in any way.


I really love to think that Sombra ruled Crystal Empire with love many years ago


Cozy Glow wasn't a true alicorn, she gained alicorn-like powers when she stole magic using the Bewitching Bell, but a she didn't truly ascend


What was he the alicorn of? I almost think cozy glow was greed and Sombra, tyranny. I’m sorry if this is proven, this is the first of your vids I’ve watched in a while


Sawtooth had always been interesting to me


Do you think you’ll cover Potion Nova? Pony life has had many animation errors resulting in accidental alicorns but I think it’d be interesting if Potion Nova somehow became an alicorn but an accident destroyed 1 of her wings, which is why she appears to be a unicorn when facing left but an alicorn when facing right...


tbh the alicorn amulet is kinda like a horcrux.<br>the locket horcrux specifically when you look at the corruption aspects of the two items

tbh the alicorn amulet is kinda like a horcrux.
the locket horcrux specifically when you look at the corruption aspects of the two items


Or he pulled a Sauron and put part of his spirit into the amulet, so it would be safe in case he should be defeated. That would also explain why it corrupts Trixie, just as the one ring corrupts those who uses it

That would also explain how he was able to come back, if his life form was bound to the amulet, you would have to destroy it to defeat him properly


Perhaps Sombra's alicornhood was taken away as punishment for abusing his power and the excess magic was stored in the amulet?


Sambra loosing his Alicorn magic might be the reason he went evil. Honestly this makes so much more sense now it gives Sambra a back story worth listening to.


Okay... then why did Trixie not become an alicorn?
The pony(ies) that went up against Sombra matter less than HOW he was defeated. Remember the ONLY way to remove the alicorn amulet is to trick the wearer into removing it voluntarily. As stupid as Sombra was portrayed in the S9 opener, I still do not believe that he would have fallen for the same trick Trixie did.
Also, Cozy Glow was a false alicorn, given an artificial boost of magic by an enchanted object which had stolen magic from other ponies, as well as Discord. She did not ascend, so as soon as she is defeated, there goes all those artificial powers. Remember, when Twilight, Cadance, Cakebutt, and Luna all gave up their powers, they were still alicorns.


I don’t think Sombra was ever an alicorn. If anything I think the gem itself was created by his horn (it looks chipped to me). He was a corrupted and used it under his armor so no one could steal it. I believe the amulet got its name because Sombra, just like every ruler of a pony country/kingdom/place has an alicorn ruler.


You might be onto something with the way the amulet looks. But I have a different theory about why it corrupts to user. It’s be they don’t truly understand the kind of magic they are using. That’s why the one using the amulet gets corrupted while the Alicorns can handle the magic power. The sisters understand the importance of night and day. Candice understands love. And Twilight understands friendship. But Trixie. She did not, I repeat NOT, understand the magic she was use, the spells she was casting. And because she did not understand it, the power corrupted her.

And if you talk about this please let me be anonymous.


I just thought that the alicorn amulet was from the pony of shadows. Like kinda the thing that corrupted stygian, but it like took a object form or something. idk tho its just speculation


Alicorn Amulet could have be created by King Sombra to make himself into a alicorn and my theory is when Trixie wear the amulet, it only give her a boost of power and energy, the answer to that is only sombra is the only pony who can do that.


Nah, don't think Sombra was alicorn to start with. He was defeated by royal sisters  and he was just unicorn back then. Wouldn't make more sense for Sombra going for alicorn amulet instead of crystal heart if "he was an alicorn"? <br>He could still had an alicorn amulet at some point, but then corrupted it with his dark magic.

Wasnt the one sholar from starswirl a grey unicorn too? I dont know his magic colour but he could also be maybe the founder of that amulet. He got turned into the pony of shadows after all, but maybe i am in the wrong here. Just was a spontane thought of mine


My idea is that he stole it from the original crystal heart. This is why the people were so weak and why he was able to become an alicorn. He had magic from all kinds of ponies and forced himself to be king. This is why he was so strong even without his wings. He was still taping into that power until the heart was able to reconnect with someone else- Cadance...


Question: why didn't Celestia, Luna, and Cadence unbecome alicorns when they lost their "alicorn magic?"


a lot of times in the show they reference earth ponies have magic try to find them. one of them is in trek's first appearance where he says that earth ponies have strength so baking and farming and stuff is what eath ponies are good at. and maud says whats an allicorn with no wings or horn and she says an earth pony and says that they have the power of walking and picking stuff up with their teeth and pinkie says its funny cause its true.


It could be that Sombra's alicorn magic was taken and made into an amulet so he lost his wings


Hello swatooth please check my theory
A long time ago Sombra was a alicorn . But after few years Sombra became bad . So Cadence decided to free the crystal empire and all the other crystal ponies decided to help her .The three tribes  decided to share their magic with Cadence and the three tribes magic flew into her and she became an alicorn . Cadence then used her alicorn magic  to defeat Sombra and took away Sombra's alicorn magic and traped it in the alicorn amulet . And

I


Okay so I think that King Sombra was once a alicorn to but when he got unalicornifid he made the Alicorn Amulet so he could still have the magic but when he got banished to the Arctic Ice the Alicorn Amulet was left behind someone found it and took it to that shop and Trixie bought it

@leah palacios mmm, well he is one of the most powrfull magitians ever know. But it could other pony, who knows maybe the royal sisters

@I like rice pudding hmmm that is a good idea and also did you mean Star Swirl?

Or maybe someone make the amulete to unalicornifid and defeat him. Maybe Starthearl, that could explain why there is non male alicors. Becauce the only one turns evil


Good theorie but Lauren Faust once stated that there are no male Alicorns... Of course she left the show before sombra come in but still... I consider her book as the real canon which also stated that Alicorns are a whole different race from another world (planet).

Edit: Also the fact that sombra is an Umbrum  and not even a crystal pony Wich also indicates that he can't be an Alicorn only if he was like Twilight and done something good before turned into power hungry maniac but I doubt so.


I like the theory that Sombra is part Changling. That explains his fangs & curved horn.


I'm a long time watcher of your channel but i stoped because of lack of content, I'm so glad I found you again! these theory's are like non other on youtube and to be perfectly honest I totally missed them!😁😄 and I like the new name too although the brony notion has a great ring to it, it feels more mature as if to show the maturity of the channel, its cool😊.


I don’t think Sombra could be an Alicorn? If I’m not wrong in one of the MLP comics, Sombra was always a unicorn. He was corrupted when he saw himself being an evil to equestria in his vision in the crystal heart while his friend saw hers as becoming a princess


"But Sombra isn't an alicorn-"
"OR IS HE?!"
dun dun duuuuun!

"Oh wait nope"

My mind: its Sombra's son

"But Sombra isn't an alicorn-"
"OR IS HE?!"
*dun dun duuuuun!*

"Oh wait nope"

My mind: *its Sombra's son*

@Jam You should let people write their opinions and theory no one said it was true this comment was a joke -_-

ha! when i watched i was thinking sombra's dad! but then the reveal was cooler so i'm not disappointed.

@Kylie Jenner but their opinions are wrong lol 😂

@Jam stop man, let people share their opinions.........

@Pasta Pasta none of the things in the video are true. Sombra was never a unicorn or an alicorn. He was once an "umbrum" (read the comics)

@Jam  This video was just a theory, unless confirmed by Hasbro then none of it is canon. People can have opinions and thoughts

@Pasta Pastathey are your thoughts, which are wrong.

She and I did, I was just quoting and adding my thoughts :T

You didn't watch the whole video, didn't you?


Sambra being an Alicorn does sense how he get to rule the Crystal Empire


I love your theory, but I think there is a problem to it. There is this comic series that part of it is dedicated to the origins of MLP’s villains like Queen Chrysalis and even Sombra. However, I am not sure if any of what the comics say is cannon and I don’t think it is, but you should look into it. I am sure it will help you on your theories in one way or another. <br>P.S. I love your videos

Maybe Celestial had a mission that required two alicorns while luna was in the moon.


As I was watching the city I remembered some thing, A couple years ago me and my friend were talking about MLP and I brought up as a joke, “Wouldn’t it be funny if Somdra was secretly an alicorn!?!” I said that as a joke, but it’s still funny that I kind of theorized it.


Well, in the show canonically speaking it states that only a Female can become an Alicorn I mean we see big mac become one but that it only in a dream and it also stated in the books that sombra was only ever a unicorn that he was never an Alicorn.

But we do have Alicorn princesses, Celestia , Luna and Cadence then take into account that Queen Chrysalis looks like an Alicorn as well.

It's not a gar reaching theory that maybe one of the other princess's had a student who got too carried away we've seen it with sunset Shimmer and we know that Celestia sent twilight to ponyvle in order to prevent twilight from becoming a second Sunset, so who's to say that she didn't have some one prior to sunset as a student?

Or maybe it wasn't Celestia's student but rather Princess Luna's or Princess Cadence's student ?

The Alicorn Amulet might have just been a random magical artifact like the memory stone or the geode's from equstaria girls so there's that to take into account as well.

When it comes to magical artifacts that are made the princess 's seem to know an awfully lot about them and keep them under tight wraps , however when it comes to random magical artifacts again like the memory stone they know very little about them .

For a we know the gem in the Amulet might have been just a random magical gemstone of some kind that some pony found by accident like how maude found that rare emerald jasper rock we don't see her pick it up or what it could do if it were a magical stone but it definitely looked like something that MAY contain Magic.

I mean ,who here thought "hey a magic rock" or "hey that looks like it could be pretty cool if it has magical abilities to it"?


I don’t feel like Sombra would be an ex Alacorn but I feel like one of his ancestors is an alacorn that’s why it looks like an alacorn and the reason it has so much magic is because all of the males in his family put all of their magic in.


I don't think the alicorn amulet sucked Sombra's magic out of him.  I think he put a part of his own magic into it.  Maybe as much as half.  Probably not half, in fact probably significantly less than half, but enough to cross back over the threshold of power that he originally crossed to become an alicorn.  As for why?  It could have been any of a number of reasons.  Sombra's biggest trait as a formidable villain is his careful planning.  Remember that while Sombra was the villain of the season 3 premiere, the most formidable part of him as a villain then was the work he did to keep the crystal heart away from the crystal ponies before the empire was lost.  He's proven himself to be a meticulous and careful strategist.  Maybe it was to be a reserve of power for him to seek out later in the event something happened to endanger his conquest?  Maybe he wanted to reverse his transformation so he wouldn't stand out in the event he ever had to flee from opposition to his conquest?  Maybe both?  Still, it's clear he had no idea where it was after the empire returned.  Or perhaps he just didn't have a chance to look for it at first, and when Discord brought him back he took a few memories from him to keep him from seeking out his reserve of power.


Im pretty sure celestia and luna had a battle with sombra a milenia ago and managed to beat him, maybe they were the ones to get rid of his magic and with it, his wings.


I think Cadence was his replacement and the purple on the ends of her wings mean Celestia can take them away as soon as she thinks of it.


Wasn't sure if it was possible for males to become Alicorns, have no idea where that thought came into my mind. :/

But nice theory.


Next video: How can I hold the amulet without something it's attached to (Like the amulet was attached to Trixie her cape)


I'm guessing before I watch it Sombra used it to be able to rule the crystal empire because you need Alicorn magic to rule an empire/kingdom.


I can already tell this is gonna be awesome<br>Edit: it was awesome

I can already tell this is gonna be awesome
Edit: it was awesome

Congrats your first in the comments I'm second


Something doesn't add up. He said that Cozy Glow unbecame a Alicorn when she lost the power but what about Celestia and Luna? When they lost their magic they didn't lose their wings.


I want on record that I gasped louder than any grown ass man should have at the "or is he?" And close up of his cape. Then was GENUINELY DISAPPOINTED at "no. No hes not" carry on with your day


I was rewatching the show for funny's sake, and I realized something. In Princess Twilight Sparkle Part 1, Zecora gives Twilight the potion that "only responds to Alicorn magic." But, when Twilight uses a spell on it, she uses King Sombra's signature dark magic, and the potion activated. HMMMM?? 👀


He may be ashamed about losing his wings which may explain why he wears a cape but what about his blank flank ? And who made the amulet to give or take alicorn ability and form we’ve seen it over and over every pony needs a talent and that talent effects magic to a certain degree I would imagine but Sombra has a blank flank could this amulet have taken his cutie mark as well ? And how did sombra come in ties to becoming a alicorn ? As you have said to become a alicorn you would need a piece of all the elements to become one. If sombra could  become a alicorn then that would make sense why he is still alive he may not be as old as the sisters but they have given us enough to know he ain’t a  young chicken  but wouldn’t this be taken along with the alicorn status ? Or could our dear sombra still have the heart or ability to gain his wings once more the question is how would someone simply have to break the amulet and would the magic that made him a alicorn come back to him or would something bigger need to happen to cause this ? I may have over thought this-


just seeing sombra in the thumbnail made my mind click!


Did you pay attention to this?
 It was a village where everyone had curved horns
Maybe Sambra is from there


I've been scrolling through these comments and one of them is agreeing to sombra wears a robe to show he's ashamed of his wings but what if theres another reason look that robe what a king would wear so maybe it's from his past to remind him to keep trying until he has the ultimate castle 🏰


I love your video. And if you’re looking for new ideas, I suggest you do a video finally solving Fluttercord: Fluttershy ✖Discord. Because in the series finale we kinda saw them living together in Discord’s dimension. I think Fluttercord is canon now. I like you to do an analysis about that, because they’d make great couple.💛✖🤎👍🦄❤💘


I have a question

If Sombra made the alicorn amulet by himself then if Trixie wore it wouldn't she make crystals too?

And another question is. Is the alicorn amulet  only going to corrupt pony with horns? What if it was a earth pony of a pegasus wore it? Or a yak? What if celestia wore it? Her magic is already stronger.


I can’t think of one reason to disagree with this guy

Rumble Lane Ohhhhhh i always just leave the vid when it’s almost over so i never here that part

@-Doodle Bullet- Sawtooth says at the end of each video: "What are your thoughts? Comment down below!" He told me to comment. So I commented. That's all.

Rumble Lane If ya don’t agree with the theory just don’t comment

Omg I can see his theory in my head dang he is right

Reasons I found to disagree with theory: IDW comics + writers are generally inconsistent with the whole alicorn/magic system + why didn't Trixie become an alicorn when she took the magic from the Amulet (assuming it really does include Sombra's alicorny powers?)


questions that need to be answered but didn't get answered "how did Sombra become an alicorn. Who took his powers ?"

Sawtooth: oh no...anyway


I have a theory i think that there could still be natural and artificial alicorns but a bit different the natural alicorns are Celestia,Luna,Cadence,Twilight and the artificial one is Cozy (not including flurry heart because i dont know where to put her in) the theory about natural and artificial goes like this we all noticed the purple magic that transformed twilight into a alicorn so we can assume that is what happened with cadence celestia and luna so that magic that transformed them was natural magic one that ponies cant control but have deep within and surfaces if they are worthy to become a alicorn the natural magic has magic from all three tribes the artificial is the absorbing of magic from all three tribes it basically means that for artificial they didnt have the natural magic from within happen but instead abosorbed it from others


I am so sure he's an Alicorn because I have watched him in videos.That is why he wanted to rule<br>the crystal empire. That is why he is even called king sombra.

not a 100% irrefutable theory, and I <i>am</i> 100% sure the writers didn't give this any actual consideration, BUT this theory makes just enough sense for me to like it.

Hi Sawtooth! Can you please do a video about “How to Reform Sombra” or a video about “What Could Have Caused Sombra To Become An Alicorn? But I have a theory can you make a video Analyzing it? Maybe adding your own things to it Please? ;
Perhaps 1 Thousand Years Ago Sombra was a Great Unicorn before He was Evil and That He found The Crystal Heart and made The Crystal Empire in a good way and Ruled It. Everyone Loved Him including Celestia and Luna and one day (from your video “Finally Solving Alicorns”) something like The Crystaling Happened The Light and Love that The Crystal Empire (The All 3 Trives) and Celestia and Luna Had for Sombra Transformed Him into An Alicorn! And He wore The Alicorn Amulet in a good way but one day Sombra became jealous of Equestria and tried to Take Over Equestria but He Used The Ponies in The Crystal Empire and He failed but before The Story That we have from Season 3 Episode 1 when The Ponies Realized that they were controlled by Sombra something like The Crystaling Happened The Dark and Hate or maybe The Darkness and Hatred That The Crystal Empire (The All 3 Trives) and Celestia and Luna Had for Sombra made Sombra Unbecome an Alicorn and Then The Story That we have from Season 3 Episode 1 happened.
And it makes sense if Light and Love from The All 3 Trives makes you and Alicorn The Dark and Hate or maybe The Darkness and Hatred could make you unbecome an Alicorn.
So what do you think?

XWolfWorld X Maybe but I don’t think so because think about it we’ve only seen that happen only 1 time. Plus in The Fight in The Season 4 Finale Twilight vs Tirek She didn’t loose her wings so I think chances of that happening is super rare and probably a one-off thing.

Y e s. Or maybe he lost his wings in a fight or something. Kinda like Rainbow in the timeline episode


It would be cool if Hasbro realesed a Princess Celestia, Princess Luna or even Princess cadance backstory, or a movie, it’d also be cool if they do it with the story of Flurry Heart and what she does, to be honest I really want to know what Flurry will do.


Maybe the alicorn amulet only corrupts one, and that Sombra is the one that wore the amulet for the longest time, thus the magic in the amulet became his magic as well.

Maybe an ancient unknown alicorn gave that to sombra, or smthn.

Because, everything about sombra is weird. he has flowy mane, has a bent and nonspiraled horn, and has magic like none other.

Maybe, if worn long enough, the alicorn amulet can turn one into something of sombra’s capacity, and the reason why he’s been going for the crystal heart is either him wanting another source of power as he does not know where the alicorn amulet currently is, or, somehow, the crystal heart can cleanse him from that power.


sawtooth waves I think actually sombra wasn’t actually an ali corn or ex alicorn  so I think the amulet is so powerful it has so much magic that it gives the same amount of power such as an alicorn


I think he was an ruler like an alicorn that got evil somehow by the amulet.  Just like it did with tricky (I do t know how to spell hr name) but for him it took away his wings.  I don’t know just a thought


What I think happened is that when the war over the Crystal Empire took place Sombra realized he might not win, so he put his alicorn magic into a pendant hoping that if he did win or if he escaped punishment, his alicorn-ness would still be waiting for him.


The only issue i have with this theory is like.... Sombras entire backstory. He was never an alicorn, at least, not originally. Sure, maybe at some point during his rule he may have gotten enough power to become one, and then lost it like how this theory suggests, but oddly enough it isn't that long from the point where Sombra overthrows the queen of the Crystal empire (i forget her name) and his eventual defeat by the sisters. like, maaaaaybe a year if i remember right? either way he didn't manage to build up an army enough to take on the sisters in round one by the time they managed to get to him. So it couldn't have been that long after he took power that he was defeated.<br>that pretty much my only gripe, otherwise yeah i could see it being connected to Sombra somehow.

what i said about Sombras backstory isn't like my stupid headcanon or anything, it's legit canon. he was enver an alicorn originally.


Just wanted to point out, cozy glow’s Alicorn magic was also red


It’s a god theory although we have yet to see a male alicorn (besides Big Mac in the dreamscape) It does give off a bunch of other questions but I think you might be right since he was Abe to take over the crystal empire and Canterlot...


Maybe sombra did make a new magic! The dark crystals could have been made by sombra!


Ohh man... just seeing a new video from sawtooth waves makes my day!


What about the Pony of Shadows, even though the body it takes over can be any pony species, the shadow itself has an Alicorn appearance.


There is just 1 one BIG issue with this. the MLP comics. in one comic, it covers all of sombra's history including what he is. the comic says he is a  Umbrum. in the end, a pony called Rardient Hope helps him see the magic of friendship, and he becomes a normal pony. This is my Favorite comic so i realy don't want to let go of this theory.  please can someone explain all of this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I feel like this would also explain why there hasn't been any male alicorns, at least not that we've seen


Funfact: In german the artifact is called "Einhornamulett" which translates into <b>Unicorn amulet</b>

Funfact: In german the artifact is called "Einhornamulett" which translates into *Unicorn amulet*


Me : Trying to focus on homework

Sawtooth Waves notification : I'm 'bout to end this woman's whole career


i have a theory here
so what if tirek stole the magic from sombra? Which would result in him being locked up but he would have time to have “lost” (given away) the amulet which was later on found by trixie?
OR
what if sombra locked away some of his magic on purpose for it to be used for future evil (trixie)

(Of course this was just a theory and im sure that Tirex was locked away by cowgar/the sister)


One big, glaring problem here is that Sombra isnt even a pony to begin with.

Did you, perhaps, also read Seige of the Crystal Empire?


İ, really find some problems

İf Sombra lost his alicorn magic by the amulet, then shoudn't he try to get his power back before taking over the Christal Empire?
The other problem is, if the Alicorn Amulet has the Sombras' magic, why whould it be in a shop?Shoudn't it be somewere like with the Royal Sisters or with Starswirl? Like, why whould a villans powers be at a shop?


I have an issue with this theory

If taking away an alicorns magic means the loss of their wings then why didn’t twilight become and ex alicorn when tirek took her magic, she didn’t loose her wings, and the two sisters and cadence didn’t lose their wings when they gave up their magic to twilight?.


link to original art in the description!


Hi Sawtooth!
Call me FoxPlay, that's my MLP name.
I have a theory too. In S3E1, Celestia shows a vision of the early crystal empire to twilight. If you look closely, you will see what looks like apple bloom as a crystal pony with a maple leaf cutie mark, bow and all! I didn't imagine this bc I rewound it and saw it again, since we never saw AJ's Grandma on her mother's side, I think this was her! I hope you give some thought to this or at least watch it and see for yourself.
FoxPlay
PS to your theory, maybe it was the 2 sisters who used the amulet on Sombera?


hey, sawtooth I just found a Netflix series named sheera where there is a girl named shadow weaver and she looks like king sambra you might wanna check it out. Her hair, skin color, magic color are all the same<br>maybe you should see it

Trixie with the amulet: I’ve won…but at what cost?


I thought the amulet was owned the pony of shadows. Why? cause what if the amulet can turn you into the pony of shadows but wasn't possible with Trixie cause the pony of shadows has been imprisoned which will not be able to activate enough power to transform, cause the form of magic has been imprisoned, but bits of its powerful magic is able to be used. because the full magic has to be in that world to activated it. BUT the pony of shadows has been sent to another world so maybe that's why is cant reach its full power.<br>-Monica

Hi Sawtooth! And if you see this can you please make a theory video about it analyzing it? Maybe add your own things to it? Please?
I have a theory about Grogar, here it is;
We don’t know much about Gusty The Great but whoever she may be she definitely has a connection to Grogar.
I’m pretty sure that they were in the same timeline and there was an epic battle with her and Grogar. Because in Season 7 Episode “A Flurry of Emotions” Twilight was reading a book to little fillies about Gusty The Great and her fight with Grogar that book may be true you might be asking “If that book was true why would Twilight read that that book to little fillies? and since Grogar and Gusty are from soooooo long ago that book may be passed down as a “Mare’s Tale” like The Nightmare Moon, The Sonic Rainboom
And Gusty just like Star Swirl might have Sent Grogar and Herself to someplace like Limbo where time doesn’t pass A Thousand Years or maybe even over A Thousand Years
Since Limbo is another dimension outside of Equestria when Cozy Glow Nearly Drained All The Magic In Equestria Gust and Grogar couldn’t Escape perhaps they may still be trapped in someplace like Limbo
And maybe to bring them back we may need The Magical Artifacts for Grogar this may be Grogar’s Bell and for Gusty perhaps a Magic Wand or something?
And perhaps when Discord pretended to be Grogar he might have been trying to bring Grogar back with Grogar’s Bell and perhaps was gonna ask Chrysalis, Tirek and Cozy Glow to find and bring Gusty’s Wand but when they lied and said that they didn’t find The Bell he might have gave up on that idea
And maybe The Future Generation can bring Grogar and Gusty The Great back by finding Grogar’s Bell and Gusty’s Magical Wand
And who knows maybe Gusty had her own 6 or maybe more or less group of friends and they had their own Magical Artifacts
Maybe something like The Season 7 Finale can happen
Some fan(s) of Gusty The Great can try to bring her back
Gusty can be just like Star Swirl wanting to banish Grogar back to a place like Limbo but in the process she needs to banish herself and if she has friends banishing Grogar Gusty and her friends
Perhaps The Future Generation can reform Grogar and not let them go back to a place like Limbo
And if Gusty meets Star Swirl they’ll make great spells together and perhaps even more
So what do you think?


What about Radiant Hope? Forgive me if I'm wrong but I don't think it was expanded upon what she did when sombra became evil. What if she betrayed him and stole his power in an attempt to stop him.


I think it's Shadow the Alicorn who contains the magic inside the Alicorn Amulet . You know Luna's best friend


I got a question to put in your brain, why is it that Tirek is clearly able to handle draining discord's magic in Twilight's Kingdom, but states in The Ending of the End that no other creature can control discord's magic and that taking all of it would be madness? Does this mean he didn't take all of Discord's chaos magic in Twilight's Kingdom or is something else going on?


I believe he was alicorn at some point. He did rule the crystal empire and most rulers are alicorns. Or have great magic to match an alicorns


The problem I have with this theory is that Sombra isn’t a pony, he’s an Umbrum, and I don’t think they can be alicorns

Yeah the comics are not canon so this theory can still work

@Ariaelyne yup i just checked that one out, 100% NOT CANON

THANK YOU FINALLY SOMEONE POINTS THIS OUT.

@Darth Vocrum Considering Sombra was reformed in that storyline, most definitively not.

i dont think the comics are canon, or at least that particular one

That if I recall correctly is from a comic that was part of several others of whom some were retconed so I wouldn’t say it is a reliable source


Ok sawtooth i love your theories man but i have a question if possible through magic if a pegasus wings were crushed and broken is it possible through magic to get them revived?


Idk if someone said this already, but what about when the princesses gave Twilight all their magic in order to fight Tirek? They even lost their cutie mark, so wouldn't they have lost their alicorn wings too? Also when cozy glow stole everyone's magic the magical creatures in the prison lost their magical powers and the physical changes that came with it; but the princesses stayed alicorns, just magic with magic


This is a wonderful theory don't get me wrong but there's something wrong with it.How did sombra become an alicorn. Your only an alicorn when you achieve a great thing cozy glow stole magic on the other hoof, but sombra must have made the amulet for separate reasons and then when the amulet gained enough power from sombra then only must have the alicorn Magic been sucked out of him.Also I think that sombra was good at one point but  amulet that made him evil because when you think of it he has no reasons to become evil but that's for you to explain not me.


I'm not sure it's a full theory to live by, but it's a really awesome ide to a fanfinc. I'm gonna use it, if you don't mind.


Sawtooth: Finally solving the Alicorn Amulet.<br>Me: Don't do that, don't give me hope.

Sawtooth: Finally solving the Alicorn Amulet.
Me: Don't do that, don't give me hope.


I  honestly don't think he was an alicorn. Even if Cozy glow was turned & reverted, that doesn't mean much. Remember THREE alicorns, Celestia, Luna & Cadence all GAVE UP their magic, they had 0 magic, none, nada, yet they still retained all their alicorn features- and that's THREE alicorns. I don't think Cozy's one off due to grogars bell really lines up with this theory as comfortably as it should. While it's certainly interesting- it still begs the question, why didn't the three rulers lose any traits when they gave up all their respective powers to all allegiences?

@Miniş Dünyası So then in that regard Cozy wasn't actually an alicorn at all- just false potrayels. For all we know Cozy could have simply been given any magic, or simply anything to make her more powerful as she percieved/wanted to be changed by the magic. There's no real evidence she actually was an alicorn when she simply could have become an pegasus with a magical horn. Seeing how Cozy would percieve alicorns as the strongest thing in her mind, it would make sense she'd be transformed to display traits of what she percieves to be power with out actually having the real traits of true alicorn magic.

Mizu Sky Maybe that’s because when Celestia, Luna, Cadence and Twilight gave their Magic it was Normal or Alicorn Magic The Magic in Grogar’s Belle was Evil or Dark Magic


Man if only we could get a pg or even pg-13 reboot of the series that delves into the more darker and complex lore of MLP


Sombras hypnotize magic does look very similar to flutter shy magic when she controls I was the bats in the episode where she turned into a bath Pony, so sombra might've lost Earth Pony powers but captors unicorn and Pegasus powers?


There is one issue with this theory which would make it wrong and that is the fact that there are no make alicorns that appeared in the story. If we are assuming that sombra did become an alicorns then who made him into it. It seems that alicorns are either born or created by magic. If the amulet came from a alicorn, there might've been male alicorns that that have powers that might be over something like the desire to have no friends. And even an male alicorn that can cause nightmares in ponies which might've possessed luna. It is odd that there are no make alicorns but there are female alicorns. Which could imply that the amulet that trixie used was created when there were male alicorns. Then again the freindship map could disprove my theory given the fact that it is possible that it might not cover the whole planet that equestria is located on unless it is a flying saucer that it's on.


I love how you dabbed at the end.
Literally me : "laughing to death "

Oh and I don't even know how you come up with this theories. Wow your smart. Love your videos

thank you so much. This is my first heart ❤. Your the best. Thanks


Assuming alicorns are neutral bothers me. Good can be corrupted and stolen, but not be truly earned

What if Sombra was corrupted like Luna, and used to rule the Crystal Empire?


The alicorn amulet is just like how a dragon gets corrupted because animus magic (but it lasts forever) (WoF)


i don't think that sombra was an alicorn because i think that the alicorn amulet was created by some of the evil ponies; unicorns, earth ponies and pegusi. together they would have added evilness of themselves to corrupt other ponies.


Wow I would of never thought of something like that this was great 👍


So, basically, the alicorn amulet is Sombra's soul jar, Fallout: Equestria canon!


Add the alicorn magic (see twilight using it) looks a lot like Sombra's at times. That black, green, and purple mixture?
