Why Do Only Ponies Have Cutie Marks?

Zecora doesn't have any magical talent like unicorns do. She's more of a witch doctor so her magic comes from her potions and talismans she creates. She uses the natural magical properties found in the ingredients she collects in the Everfree Forest, which is full of untamed magic.

Great way to spark Discussion! Even if it is on just a kids show I enjoyed your analytic video none the less.

I think magic to them is like chemistry to us. Star swirl the bearded apparently invented spells meaning magic is a natural force that ponies have learned to manipulate. Going in deep and as simple as possible, I believe the magic controlled by Discord is the original form of magic on the planet. Discord's species were the original enhabitants of the planet. The magic- being chaos magic- means they didn't have to raise the sun or manage the weather and seasons, the planet would basically take care of itself giving an evolutionary boost to the (give me space here) Draconeques and future life-forms of the planet: the Equines.

You made very many valid points but I believe that it's just simply because they are ponies and it's relative to the plot. I know that sounds boring but Discord had a cutie mark when he disguised himself as a pony. (Tornado mark) I think you have to be a pony because they are the main species in the show. Just like we people have things and do things that other species can't do. That is my take on the matter. :)

I think changlings are an exception and I was wondering why they weren't brought up as they have magic but no cutie mark. My interpretation on this though is that changlings have magic that only manifests in one manner, their shape shifting, while ponies naturally have magic that has the ability to manifest in more than one way such as the stare for fluttershy and reality warping/pinkie sense for pinkie. Because of this their cutie mark is able to manifest into unique pictures for each pony. As for Zecora, we haven't seen other zebras before so we don't even know if zebras are also a magical breed of equine or if Zecora did in fact learn magic by other means. Until then its hard to say whether she has a cutie mark or tattoo.

I think with Zebras they get Glyphs instead of cutie marks. They probably work the same way, but they aren't as visually obvious. You'd probably have to be familiar with Zebra culture to understand them. But I don't think Zebras actually cast their magic like Unicorns, but rather create symbols, potions, and fetishes that contain spells.

A tale of two sisters (Which is cannon btw) confirmed that zebras have cutie marks as well as ponies, the difference being that their marks are more simplified in appearance. So bottom line YES Zecora mark is a cutie mark. I don't know why people are STILL talking about this when they pretty much all but flat out told eveyone this is the case. Why I want is for them to finally expand on zebra culture and show more of them. There is a story just waiting to be told there and it is time to get a few answers about them.

Errrr whatbabout when Zecora 'remakes' her tea by just swirling her hoof over the lid? That has to be SOME sort of magic...

My personal opinion is that Zebras are almost like a second "species" of pony (or horses, if they exist in MLP), and thus can have magic and cutie marks. However, what you mentioned about tribes could also have an effect. Okay, so you know how Zecora can only talk in rhyme? What if that's because her tribe only talks in rhyme? Other zebra tribes might talk in haiku, or limericks, or any other form of poetry.

Zecora does have magic to an extent, because during the episode, "Magic Duel" she was able to conjure up a cup of water by waving her hoof over it. She may just be a witch doctor type, because she can diagnose magical ailments like Spike's rapid aging and she provided the cure for Apple Bloom's cutie pox.

Maybe it's an equestrian form of government, or system, or whatever. Zecora and Discord aren't citizens, and so they didn't get assigned a cutie mark. That would make sense with other things like mules, etc. 

Personally, I think it's the type of magic that makes the difference. A ponies natural magic manifests into things like cutie and such. They can't do the things that other species can do like shapeshift like the changelings because the magic that lets them do it so easily is incompatible with pony magic.

Here is my theory:
The Friendship Fire made cutiemarks. If I can remember none of the ponies had cutiemarks, once the friendship fire was made I see it as Destiny getting stronger and more magic causing the reaction since ONLY ponies made the friendship fire. I believe it would only react to that type of animal or creature.

On Zecora's cutie-mark; It's a belief among my crew that Zecora (and her zebra race) are separate from 'natural' zebra. They're a select group of ponies that ended up crossing with the natural zebra many many years ago, this creating pony zebra (Or more simplified, they're the magical variation). So they work in the same way, except their magic would be drawn from nature rather than from within- since their cultures would've been based around their environment more than social status like our colorful ponies.

idk if that makes any sense, tl;dr - Zebras could possibly be a fourth sub-species of pony rather than a seperate species altogether? yeahsure lets go with that. |D

With Zacora we see her use some magic with Magic Duel such as refilling her cup by passing her hoof over it so she might have a little magic but it's more like....a healer? or for one who specializes in potions or something? Maybe? We know from Season 4 with Twilight Time Appblebloom is focusing on potion making so maybe Zacora's is something to do with potions for her magical talent?

I THINK I KNOW THE AWNSER!!! Remember in I think season 1 when Applebloom got that potion that got her tons of cutie marks? Well maby zacora found a way to control it!!!

I believe its something about the special magic inherent to ponies not being born with magic specifically. I mean changelings have shapeshifting magic, discord has chaos magic, cockatrices have a magic stare all of which seems to not naturally possess cutiemarks. It might be a pony only thing not just because "magic" but because pony magic specifically. I mean i dont really see other magical beings doing.

Also i feel Zecoras mark is a cutie mark maybe more tribal areas have more tribal marks looking less like an exact image of something and more like a stylistic representation of it. And she does work with the magic of potions which is the only magic she as a non unicorn or pegasus could do and her cutie mark is a sun which is a big star. It could be their version of the star based cutiemarks associated with magic talents like twilight, starswirl, etc have. It does seem that magic talents are associated with stars.

you missed another exception, dragons, spike has been shown to have the ability to send letters and store items using his 'green' fire. granted this could be the result of a spell cast on him, but since its never explained...

as for zacora, i've always assumed her magic to be the mlp equivalent of wicca, with the pony's magic being the equivalent of witchcraft. the argument here being both have come from very similar roots, but have evolved in very different ways.

it would also be interesting to know exactly when cutie marks became a part of pony evolution and whether the earth tribe always possessed these cutie marks (pegasus too for that matter). in harth warming eve all the pony's outfits cover their flanks, granted this could be argued as being them not possessing the same cutiemarks as the ponies they're playing, but what if maybe the unicorns were the only tribe with them because of their more obvious magical roots and the other tribes gained them later as a result of breeding between the tribes, it might seem like an odd argument, but i would put pound and pumpkin cake up as examples of latent genes within ponies

I think it's a fair bit more complicated than "all living creatures with magic have Cutie Marks." I mean, that explanation is just too simplistic and black-and-white—especially for my tastes.

I think it's more of an evolutionary thing, where ponies became increasingly diverse in terms of fur and mane/tail colors, and their inherent magic became stronger over time. Eventually, individual ponies' magic started manifesting as symbols of their greatest skills (their "special talents") emblazoned on the flanks. This trait was passed on, as it was similtaneously a way for ponies to show what their special talent was without words...plus it works well as a conversation starter.

Keep in mind, these are a particular kind of pony from the magical land of Equestria—the Little Ponies, standing just four feet tall (two-and-a-half feet at the shoulder?) and colored like fancy cake and candies. There may still be other kinds of ponies—normal-colored ones with no magic.

Though your argument is pretty solid I think there is something you missed. You were on the right track when you assumed anything born with magic has cutie mark. I mean Zecora Is the only Zebra we see, so who's to say that all Zebras also have this but aren't as colorful as the ponies in other words they're like the Native Americans to the Americans, where as they are more traditional in they're old ways versus the ponies who live more modernly. Besides the other beings don't seem anyway near magic based so it explains why there is no cutie mark because no magic = no cutie mark.
Though I AM a fan of the Discord is Starswirl the bearded concept idea, I do have to bring the point up that a lot of beings in Equestria aren't exactly magical but rely on it for power. Like Terrek himself isn't exactly magical to begin with, however she nye feeds off such a thing he grows in strength like Chrysaliss's magic grows with the more love and how strong a love she feeds on. I guess this could be a sign that only the innocent towards magic get the cutie marks, hence the 'cute' referring in a way to innocence, while others use and abuse it so they do not get said cutie mark for the use it for more evil, selfish, or just plain dark purposes.
Or at least thats how I see it. What do you think?

I really don't know what to think about Zecora. It would be interesting to have a whole episode about her (do you hear me, Hasbro?)
But anyway, your theory already has a few issues. First, how did Zecora get her "tribal marking/cutie mark"? Assuming it is not a cutie mark, where did it come from? This supports the theory that there are humans in Equestria, but only to an extent. Why would humans "tatoo" a pony (or zebra)? Another question is where in the world do the zebras live, and why are ponies so irrationally turned against them? I know the reason Pinkie gave was Zecora's appearance, but could there be more? Also, you suggested the theory (which I support) of Pinkie being psychic. What if something about Zecora makes Pinkie unable to "read" her? I may be grasping at straws, but I don't really think Pinkie would judge someone so easily. We also find out that Pinkie cares about her friends to a huge extent, even rivaling her dedication to her family. She seems to doubt herself as well, which is shown in two different episodes: Too Many Pinkie Pies and Party of One. I for one am fascinated by both Zecora and Pinkie's character.

I think you may be on to something about magic being the cause of the cutiemark, but the more I think about it.... who were the first ponies? And how did their receive their cutiemarks? It sounds like a simple fairy tale you would tell fillies and foals... Once there was a young pony who didn't know her place in the world, and she met a stallion just like her. (Both without cutiemarks) Then later in the fairy tale, they both receive their cutiemarks. It makes me think of Celestia and Luna and the theory that they are the first alicorns which is why they're immortal while Twilight and Cadence are not. It also makes me think of the creation of new magic, which was what Twilight did that made her into an alicorn. It's all very interesting... is definitely food for thought.

Yes and I think that DISCORD was not a pony maybe his parents were ponys and they turned in to DISCORD shaped and still had magic.And Zacora has a cutie mark because magic in side here but can't be reveled like a earth pony they have magic like when Terik took the earth ponys magic.

Well, Zecora certainly resembles an earth pony, so could she be a variant if not an earth pony? Discord, on the other hand, could be either a) what happens when a pony is stuffed full of chaotic magic, or b) as was mentioned in the video, he is not a pony, but some other weird being, who obtained magic through an unnatural and probably negative way.

What if Discord never discovered his true talent because he just assumed it was to cause chaos and he never tried to do anything else?

I'm not sure about the main question, but as for the question about Zecora, I am tempted to believe that she does, in fact, have magic. However, her magic works in a different way. She obviously doesn't have a horn, so she can't use magic that way. The only factor that indicates possible magic, is her potion brewing abilities. I am not sure if Zecora has magic, or if she happens to know potions that have magical properties. But the fact that she knows magical potion brewing at all, hints at the fact that she came from an upbringing/community where potions are prevalent. She obviously knew potion brewing even before coming to Ponyville. Wherever she came from, magic did exist there.

So all in all, cutie marks = magic. Let's assume Zecora's 'cutie mark' is a real cutie mark. That would most likely mean that her potion brewing skills require her magic in order to brew them. But assuming that her cutie mark is not a cutie mark, then that means her potion brewing abilities are an acquired skill, not a born skill.

Also, if there are other zebras like Zecora out there, then they must have a marking on their flank too. If they have symbols on their flank that are exactly like Zecora's, then chances are, they have nothing to do with magic and are just markings. But if there are zebras out there with different cutie marks than zecora, then my speculation is that they may be able to do something other than potion brewing. Maybe the zebras are divided into different species, much like how ponies are divided into earth ponies, pegasi, and unicorns. In Zecora's world, maybe there are potion brewers, shamans, and tribal hunters; who knows!

This is my opinion on this video, if you any of you guys have ideas too, plz reply

I believe that the ponies we know of are only four of Six true "Pony" Races. Not counting Alicorns, there are Unicorns, Pegasai, Earth Ponies, Chrystal Ponies, Zebras, and an as-yet unseen race of Sea Ponies. This explains Zecora having a Cutie Mark. These races are empowered to use and manipulate the natural field of magic that is present all around equestria, and have the necessary level of magic within them to gain Cutie Marks. That explains Zecora.
Discord is his own thing. Where pony magic is based on Order, Harmony and Stability, Discord is more about stirring things up and destabilizing them. He cannot be painted with the same brush.

Perhaps the magic wielded by ponies works differently compared to the magic of other creatures, so a cutie mark is something magic can only give to ponies. It's like the way reclaimers work in Halo. They are the only beings deemed worthy of bearing the mantle of responsibility. What if there was an ancient race of creatures that bestowed the ponies with this magic that can give them and only them cutie marks? This is why no other creatures can wield this ability. Also, Zacoro is a pony. Zebras are in fact relatives of horses and are technically horses, but evolved to survive on the Savannah and in the African jungles. Donkeys are related to horses, but are not horses. A mule would be an acception since it has horse DNA

Here's my imagining for non ponies cutie marks
Gabby: a scroll or letter. Reason: she is a mail carrier
Discord: the chaos symbol with a butterfly in the middle. Reason: he has his chaotic side but he also has his sweet side. The butterfly is from fluttershy
Chrysalis: a magnet pulling a heart. Reason: changling used to steal love
The student six: a big heart with five other hearts swirling it. the big heart would be there coat feather or fur color and the 5 other hearts would be their other friends kinda like the cmc or twilight. Reason: they care for one another more than the others know

Zecora does have magic of her own as seen in magic dual she is able to refill her cup by passing her hoof over it. Zecoras magic is just different than others, like Discord. I feel the reason Discord doesn't have a cutie mark is due to the fact he is the embodiment of a type of magic, by which I mean the embodiment of chaos itself. Exploring further into this we also have another exception to the rule, Changlings. Changlings have the magical power to turn themselves into basically anyone and mimicking their type of magic. Be it flying, strength or levitating object changlings seem to have it all so long as they have the form to do it. There are a ton of other beasts in the MLP universe that are questionable in their sentience that have magic (Cockatrice, hydra, windegos ect) all who have NO CUTIE MARK. The cutie mark is something that sets ponies apart from other races, the key to their destiny forever printed on their flank as if by the will of the magic that makes them special. Ponies hold a special relationship with their environment. Who changes the weather, not griffons. Who seems to grow all the food, not the donkeys buffalos or mules. Then we have the alicorns and unicorns who's connection is more a wild card. (topic for a different day ;3) I'll digress and leave off with this though. What ever mystery the cutie mark may hold it seems to play favorites with only Equine races or even those who are closely related. (sorry if I wrote to much and thank you for reading if you made it this far ^^')

I think the reason Discord doesn't have a cutie mark is because he's the being of chaos. He can do so many things that he can't have a cutie mark for just one of them. For zebras, however, it has been theorized in the past that they have symbolic markings describing what they do rather than an image showing what they do.

I believe that ponies are born with little magic and as they get older they gain more of it which makes the cutie marks visible. This theory would best explain the cutie mark crusaders, the show has already told us that they don't have magic. That's one of the reasons why they don't have their cutie marks yet, they don't have enough magic to make them appear. It's been made clear that if you magic isn't there then your cutie mark cannot be seen, if you have an overdose of magic then your cutie mark is way more evident.

Zecora just like twilight could have read about magic and understand it very well but not wield it.
Discord on the other hoof has a cutie mark it's just not shown when in his true form look at when he was a pony

the answer is friendship magic. The magic of ponies is powered by friendship, or more accurately, fellowship or harmony, since love is part of it too.
changeling magic, dark magic from Sombra, and Chaos magic from Discord are all separate from friendship and so do not produce cutie marks.
It's telling to note that Discord seems to be using his magic less as his friendship increases, so we can thereby infer that his magic is not friendship based and he doesn't become more powerful when his friendship increases. Contrast that to the mane 6 who only get stronger as they get closer.

This may also explain why ponies have cutie marks. One key to harmony is feeling like you belong, and having a cutie mark is a literal mark of belonging, belonging to a talent, a career, a place in society. We see how important those roles are when the mane 6 switch cutie marks. Cutie marks are like a literal mark of value. Perhaps that's why the ponies in the equalist village gave up their cutie marks, perhaps their talents weren't valued where they came from. and it explains why blank flanks are made fun of, at least by some people.

Personally, i have a totally different look on magic which i won't explain now. (Magnets are Magic).

Now,
i also think that ponies are born with a certain power (magic, flight or strength), yes, and their cutie mark appears when they get to know on what they'll use it (in most cases), but the cutie mark is only a display of that. But only pony-bodies have implemented that function, but it's also a natural mechanism, cause thats how ponies work. They need something to do a desire, a main function.

Well... My theory is somewhat similar to yours. Discord actually has a cutie mark. Well his pony form/ oc has one. But the "type" of magic you're talking about depends. For example, if we're talking about the magic from a unicorn, they have special abilities from their horn so to speak. Pegisi, however, have the magic of flight. If earth ponies have magic, what is it? If they don't have magic, should they have cutie marks?

I saw one fanfiction where Cutie Marks were ousted as being a filing system for Celestia's citizens. We've seen that other creatures like Gryphons and Dragons do not acknowledge her authority, which would explain why they don't have them.

Well, with the development of the most recent episodes, it has been made very clear that cutie marks are markers of individuality. They are represent who the ponies are are an individual. Their cutie marks appear once they discover who they are, or what their special talents are.

Zacora is shown using magic in magic duel. She refills her drink into her cup after Twilight spills it, twice. By running her hoof around the rim of the cup, it refills. She clearly has some magical ability, but it's only been played subtly. We really don't know what she can do.

The link between a cutie mark, a pony and it's magic is likely not just a bit about magic itself being related to cutie marks, but it may also be about the biology of a pony.
It is probably more of a magic link to the DNA of a pony which can trigger a cutiemark to be obtainable, since it's widely established now that all ponies have some form of magical ability with Pegasi's weather controlling, cloud manipulation, flying and aerial speed, Earth Pony's Strength, Toughness, ingenuity with non-magical fields and their ground-based speed, and Unicorns with their intellect and creativity, but also their ability to use magic in focused ways like telekinesis (though all ponies have a form of telekinetic field which they can use at any time), it then can be established and safely assumed that the link between magic and a pony's cutiemark is missing a middleman, Biology of a Pony.

As for Zecora... Well technically Zebras are of the same species with very obvious key differences to equines (in this case ponies) so it's more than likely possible that all zebras are capable of using magic in the same ways, only Zecora in an Earth Zebra, where they're talented with things such as potion making and rituals, but also storytelling among other things most likely.

Zecora knows about magic and can teach one how to hone their skills, but she cannot use said magic for the simple fact that she doesn't know how magic works in relation to physics/quantum physics and MOST IMPORTANTLY she lacks a horn, which all those who wish to do spells, must have a horn.

Discord doesn't need a horn because he has fingers, which can be used similarily. Objects that have a point must be used for magic spells, hence a Unicorn's horn, Discord's fingers and even the wands of wizards in Harry Potter and other fictions.

The cutiemarks of a Zebra also may be more simplistic and tribal, each one being of a different symbol that represents something different akin to symbols of communication of african tribes.

Discord has a cutie mark, it is seen in the part of the tirek episode where discord disguises himself as a pony

Zecora has am minuscule amount she does use magic in the show, she just uses traditional human magic more often and only shows her power in that one ep.

If that whole color theory were true then how do you explain dragons, phoenixs, or other "magical" beings.
We've even seen arcs of the chrysalis minions whom HAD MAGIC and could change form to use said magic however had no cutie marks, only were copy-cats.

I think there's a lot more to the cutie mark mystery but as we can see ponies, SPECIFICALLY ponies only have them.

What if ponies actually had an infinite source of magic once, similar to what an alicorn would have, however because of bickering and fighting over power, each magic was separated into the three groups. However of course the three groups bickered and fought over each other's power even more so, which lead to individual magic limits.

Such as some ponies can fly fast where others would fly slow, or some could run a town where others could run a shop. This was to keep balance and to give peace so there wouldn't be as much of a reason to fight and bicker over it. The last few Alicorns have unlocked their full potential and have also shown they would use it for a better cause. Thus leading on more peace throughout the kingdom.

The "Human" world didn't have such rules and regulations over power, and so when said power was taken it expanded to such great amounts that even Sunset couldn't take it at the end of it all, where as with Twilight she was used to such power and was able to use it for peace. Leading her friends with her with a smaller amount of magic just to help her out for the time.

I could be wrong though...

what would happen if a cow or something took hearts desire and asked for a cutie mark like applebloom did?

but remember that tirek stole magic strength and speed? i guess. things unique to each tribe. as for discord he is a being of disorder. remember this whole balance thing? with good and evil.? with all the structure everywhere, it seems pretty reasonable that discord is a super powerful being of disorder. as for zecora, it does make sense that she would have a tribal marking, but who knows. maybe zebras just have some equivalent of cutie marks.?

When my little pony started the cutiemarks were just their for decoration, over the years we've gotten more details about them. But they still remain part of the shows culture and past. I wouldn't say all beings born with magic have cutiemarks. We may get better answers in the future.

The theory about Tirek not getting a cute mark is lovely but i don't think it's easy to find out how a cutie mark made from all sorts of talents whould look like.

I think only races with promanent harmony magic get cutie marks. Pegasi use magic to fly, as their wingspan is too small for flight, unicorns are pretty self explanatory, and earth ponies use their magic to connect with the land and help things grow.

However, Discord uses chaos magic, meaning he doesn't get a cutie mark.

Tirek doesn't have harmony magic, and steals other beings' magic. So he doesn't get one either.

As for Zecora, my only guess is that zebras get cutie marks too.

Honestly, I think ponies have cutie marks because when farmers keep horses, the ice-burn a number onto their flanks, and then the fur growing there stays white. This way, the farmers know how many horses they have. Either this is a coincedence, or the cutie marks were based off of this.

For the Zecora theory, I believe she DOES have a cutie mark. Just a foreign one. In Bridle gossip we hear Twilight explain that her kind is from outside of Equestria. So if there are pony like creatures like Zecora, they'll probably have a cutie mark similar to their culture. Which leads to the question of what does Zecora's "cutie mark" mean? I think I'll leave that one to you. That's all I have to say.
Bro hoof ~<3~

Honestly, from your videos I have seen about discord being star swirl... I do agree and also if you think about the last episode of season four.... you can kind of see some things leading to that (don't ask me what).

I think ponies are enchanted to have cutie marks. We can take examples of Starlight Glimmer and King Sombra to validate the possibility of existence of enchanted species. Starlight Glimmer is a perfect example to show that cutie marks can be given with the help of magic. Even the cutie pox is a magical phenomena. Now, the pertinent question that arises is whether the possibility of enchanting an entire species exist. The answer is yes. If King Sombra can curse an entire race of ponies to make them vanish into thin air for a millennium, then a certain sorcerer can enchant the species with an unfinished spell that can change the cutie marks and destiny of a group of ponies and that helps somepony to become an alicorn princess when she completes the incomplete spell. Discord, on the other hoof, could be a target of poison joke as an extremely chronic case. If consuming a basic flower can affect Apple Bloom so badly, imagine the effect the Poison Joke would have if consumed, provided the effects we've seen on mane six due to mere contact with the flower. And no, Discord is not Starswirl. And Zecora, well, she's not enchanted.
Another example of pony enchantment is crystal ponies. They're mere Earth ponies (and a few pegasi), but they have an additional physical feature. Just like all ponies have cutie marks, crystal ponies have crystal coats and crystal magic with cutie marks. Since they did not exist at the time of the Hearth's Warming Eve, the only possible way of their origin is enchantment. Just like the crystal ponies start crystalling when they power the crystal heart by using their love, all ponies get their cutie marks when they discover their destiny. And the destiny could be anything, from being as lame as rising and lowering the sun to being as great as helping everyone in the dream realm all by themselves.
The evidence of relation between Starswirl and cutie marks is the cutie map. Both are connected to the tree of harmony.

Now, I have a few questions.
1. How did Cadence get the cutie mark of crystal heart when the crystal empire didn't even exist? Why didn't she get a regular love symbol for a cutie mark?
2. If the Crystal Heart is so powerful that it can protect the empire from the most powerful threat, the cold of the North that even the two most powerful ponies of Equestria aren't able to hold back, even when King Sombra hid it and it wasn't powered by the crystal ponies, why didn't it protect the empire from the curse of King Sombra?
3. Is Nightmare Moon a pony?
4. What is the species name of Ahuizotl?

Maybe just animals from the family of horses have cutimarks that would explain discord and zecora

zacora can perform magic as seen when she filled her tea in magic duel and the magic of her potions and just like zebras are a different type of horse she could just be a different type of earth pony who has magic like a unicorn just very limited

Here's how I see Zecora, if you've researched Lauren Faust's concepts of the show, you would have learned that Zecora's original concept name was "Shaman", but ultimately went with the Swahili word for Zebra = Zecora, also she was originally meant to become Twilight's other mentor, who could teach Twilight things that not even Celestia could teach her, now a Shaman is basically some sort of Mystical Healer that practices a variety of different kinds of magic, and in the episodes "Luna Eclipsed" & "Magic Duel" Zecora shows that she is capable of performing magic that the other 3 types of ponies couldn't do, plus in the episode "Just for Sidekicks" when Zecora speaks to Spike she uses the word "MOJO", which is believed to be a sort of magic used by African tribes, plus Zecora speaks a Swahili-style zebra language & Swahili is a language that originated from Africa, and with Africa being the homeland of Zebras & all it would seem that Zebras in FiM come from the Equestrian equivalent of Africa, all & all it's fair to reason that Zecora is a Zebra-Shaman who utilizes Mojo magic, and she most likely is a high level shaman based on how much she knows about things the other ponies don't know & the powerful feats she's capable of, and since Unicorns, Pegasi & Earth-Ponies all have their own unique forms of magic & cutie-marks, it stands to reason that zebras have cutie-marks because they possess Mojo magic, and the Zebra Shamen wield the most powerful of the Mojo magics because they have been trained in the ways of the Shaman, similar to how Celestia trained Twilight to wield powerful Unicorn/Alicorn magic, so Earth-Ponies, Pegasi, Unicorns, Alicorns & Zebras would all have Cutie-marks because they are all magical Equines and they seem to be the only creatures in Equestria & beyond that can have Cutie-Marks.

Answer:

You need magic that you are born with for a cutie mark. It needs to be magic made for you, and adapted with you. Everypony's Magic is different, giving them different personalities, and cutiemarks. Ponies with similar cutiemarks have differences and it was just either a spiritual connection meant to be, or a coincidence. Zecora got hers because she was so good with magical stuff, she found a way to make magic that could adapt to her easily, and then give her a cutiemark. When Apple Bloom got that thing where she had a million cutiemarks, they didn't fit her talent, and Zecora told her that you must be patient and it comes when it comes, ect. This might mean Zecora accidentally got her cutiemark, for that wisdom states she'd be fine without a cutiemark. She was probably testing around with the same thing that gave Apple Bloom a ton of cutiemarks, and mixing it with other stuff. Then, it spilled, or she drank it, and woke up with a cutiemark. Discord's magic isn't adapted 2 him.

I think there is more behind Zecora than we think. Those who played Tales of Monkey island maybe have same stupid ideas like me. Zecora is voodoo lady. That tatoo is symbol of destiny and she controls it. Everything that happened was her doing. She's actually older than Celestia and she maintains harmony in Equestria but she can also easili break it. :)

Maybe Zecora's cutie mark IS a tribal symbol, but the symbol means "Wise Magic" or something like that, or, she merely has a great interest in the magical arts, but her talent is something different, is Zecora the first pony to deny her destiny? Or perhaps it has something to do with the winding riddles in wich she speaks.

As many people have stated, it is pretty much confirmed that zebras are magical. I guess the natural assumption would be that zebras are just the species that is the closest to ponies compared to all the others.

This doesn't totally make sense though because donkeys are more similar to zebras than either of them are to horses, as in they are more closely related, and all are close enough that they can create hybrids (mules and zorses). So lets go down the evolutionary path and solve this:

We can assume that whatever common ancestor ponies, donkeys, and zebras share was likely magical in Equestria (buffalo and cows are not from this family so we don't really have to consider them).

The real question would then be, why and how did donkeys lose their magical abilities? And how is this loss of magic so strong that even mules (a hybrid between a pony/horse and a donkey) have zero magical ability?

My theory is that somewhere along the course of history, some kind of magical event happened that stripped donkeys of their magical abilities. Because of this, donkeys and all offspring of donkeys are cursed to have no magic.

Now to the question, why are ponies colorful and other animals are not:

If ponies, donkeys, and zebras all shared this common ancestor, it is possible that ponies retained the strongest magic, just as the result of evolution splitting this ancestor into three different groups (since zebras are not colorful, and also have weaker magic than ponies). Most ponies colors correlate to their personalities or talents as well, so it's kind of like a cutie mark all over their body. This could represent that they retained the most amount of magic from this ancestor.

Before I saw this I asked myself the same question "why do only ponies (and Zecora) have cutiemarks?".And thanks to you I finally know why.
Thanks.

My thoughts on Zecora are hardish to explain but I shall try
Ok so we know that she is from a different land than the ponies and is also first to introduce meditation wich I think has a role in her magic. What I'm basically trying to kinda say is she has magic similar to that of a unicorn but the body functionality of an earth pony so she uses meditation to tap into or look into her inner magic

I think that it's just ponies who have cutie marks - Zecora doesn't have a cutie mark, as I feel that she wasn't born with magic because hers is black magic.... With Discord.... Well.... He IS the "Lord of Chaos"
And also, if Zecora DID have a cutie mark, what does it represent? With the ponies, it's pretty easy to tell what their talent is my looking at their mark. For example: AJ; apples because she works at and love Sweet Apple Acres and so on. And what does Zecora's mark/tattoo represent? The sun? I think that when she was younger she was part of a tribe, got the tattoo and then was banned/ran away and the tattoo remained. Tell me what you think

I see zecora as a alternately coloured "wild" pony because a zebra is a alternately coloured "wild" horse and some have even been trained by riders, also I don't see donkeys as ponies because of the large change in body shape, where as zecora has the same body shape as an earth pony (mane and tail not included)

I believe magic is the cause of ponies having Cutie marks. As for Discord, he is a combination of many animals. This could explain why magic doesn't give him a cutie mark. There is also the fact that he is believed to live between worlds, and not all worlds have Cutie marks. In the case of Zecora, some people would consider zebras to be a part of the horse/pony family. Making it perfectly acceptable for magic to give her a Cutie mark.

Discord maybe never found his cutie mark. He just has so many talents that he could never find the one he was best at.  Please reply if you see my idea!

I'm just thinking out loud here but just maybe on Discord since he has so much magic wouldn't he be able to just make his cutie mark invisible, but that's just me thinking out loud.

Maybe discord does have a cutie mark but never shows it
He can transform
And zecora, like you said, has no magic (not earth because not strong) but ,here's my theory, the cutie marks are destiny's to fulfill but if you don't have magic your just like others in a tribe because magic gives you talents. Zebras like zecora are separate from pony's so they might have different groups

i have a theory on why discord has no mark and same with zecora. discord shows his magic through physical features so there is no need for the mark and his colors simply fade without his magic while zecora most likely was either born with that or was tattooed with it from a tribe that spends their time reading and learning about magic and cures.

Zecora doesn't have magic.
Seeing how faint her "Cutie Mark" is and how much it looks like some tribal tattoo it's almost safe to say it is one.
Zecora doesn't use real magic, but artificial magic like mixing up potions and blowing dust.

Maybe Zercora has her own type of magic... seeing that she knows so much about it.. and since she seems to be like.. a witch doctor (kinda)  she might have magic of her own.. so maybe her mark IS like a cutie mark.. but not exactly a cutie mark

Well, zecora does have magic. In the episode where twilight is banned from ponyville, she goes to zecora. Then she spills zecoras water, and zecora uses magic to put water back into the cup.

Part three. What if there parents had to become sun and moon to keep the universe balanced? After years of grieving, since they are immortal, they saw the moon and sun brought them mortal companions, ones for them to rule over. But some were different. Some were bigger and some rejected the use of magic. So they ruled other smaller land the princesses gave them. What do you think of my theory?

Its assumed that Draconequus' may have magic but just simply no cutie mark, like Notion said Discord just doesn't make sense. Who knows maybe there are more of Discords kind the way Celestia explained him in Return of Harmony part 1 and that they all just kinda "don't make sense" and are just born with magic like ponies. The issue with Zecora is that she is simply knowledgable of magic but doesn't have any herself. In the book of The Diary of the Two Royal Sisters (the actual book) Celestia and Luna explain that zebras have markings on their flank 'like' cutie marks.
Correct me if I'm wrong

Sure ponies have varied color schemes, but there is one creature who stands out among his species: Gallus. His color scheme is mostly blue in contrast to the other Griffins who are mostly grey or brown. Then there are the hippogriffs, and the reformed Changelings.

just like you said, ponies have a lot of color in their bodies. But Zecora has black and white like a zebra (Zecora) but zebras are closely related to ponies, so magic allowed him to have a cutie mark. BUT magic never allowed him to have color. Discord only has a tiny bit of color, which allowed him to have magic. BUT not a cutie mark.

zecora's mark is canonically a cutie mark. griffons have the same magic as pegasi allowing them to fly and walk on clouds, changelings have unicorn, flight, and shapeshifting magic, & kirin have unicorn magic so it's not about that. i think its just a species trait.

Maybe Discord was created instead of born. It makes perfect sense to me, seeing as he is the only dragoneques (or however you spell/pronounce that word), and he is so off the chart full of magic gone wrong. i have more ideas to support this in my head, but i dont feel like typing them out, and i dont want this to turn into a mini-essay.

I really like your videos, though! Keep on philosophizing.

I know im late with this but my theory on zecora is not being a pony she has no magic
perhaps it isn't uncommon in her tribe to know how magic works because potion making can be linked with magic. and that mark on her flank is likely a trible tattoo because her only talent that has been show is potion making, and it doesn't seem to represent that.

Well, since it means someone on MLP has magic, doesn't always mean it has a cutie mark.

I don't think Zecora has magic, and the pattern where her cutie mark would be on a pony may represent the wide knowledge of magic she has. As for Discord, like you said, he just doesn't make sense. It's hard to really figure him out due to a lack of backstory. As a draconiquis (I do not know how to spell it) he may just have different rules than ponies which would also explain the difference between his magic and normal magic. Pony magic seems to need to "charge up". Every time Twilight uses a spell, it takes effect after a few seconds. Discord's magic, on the other hoof, is almost always instantaneous. Just POOF! Magic. This may be why he has no cutie mark. What do you think?

Ok. So, first of all I don't exactly agree with the whole Discord being Starswirl. So this is my theory. Discord like all draconaqueses(can't spell. Sorry for typos) has an extreme amount of magic. His had been carrying on throughout the race for generations. This is why he doesn't have a cutie mark. Draconaques have no need for them.

My theory on Zecora is that zebras have magic but not as much as ponies. This is why they look like the zebras we know today, with the exception of the cutie mark she has. Her cutie mark resembles her ability to make remedies and if we had an episode where we met more zebras they would all have different cutie mark resembling what they're best at.
Neither of these may be correct, but hey. It's just a theory.

Maybe Ponies take Destiny more seriously than other creatures and hence have cutie marks to emphasize that fact. Maybe they adapted cutie marks until it became normal. That would explain a lot.

here is my theory about zecora. like you said, zecora knows much about magic. the mark could either be her own actual cutie mark, or a strange mark that could possibly be a magic sort of sign. now I'm thinking about the fact that she's a zebra. ponies seem to be the only one's to have cutiemarks. they get there cutie marks by magic, but zecora however, is not a pony. and clearly seen as a zebra. so it is most likely to be some kind of tattoo or mark. in conclusion, I think it is just a symbol. 

I a long time ago already figured out that their cutie marks come from the name they was giving at birth, don't know how that is possible but it is. Zecora....that's deffidently a challange to figure out, I'd have to assume that they get tjeir talents by trial or like you suggest that its a tribal tattoo, also the fact that she has her own special type of magic could be that a select few zebras have this ability. We might never find out but id have to give guesses.

discord chose not to have a cutie mark. it would be more chaotic that way

There is a huge hole in your threoy that you forgot to mention. Pegeusi can walk on clouds because of their magic and you you know who can walk on clouds, griffons. They have the same magic as Pegeusi or else they would fall through like everyone else. Changlings clearly have magic due to their ability to pass themselves off as a member of any of the 3 tribes. Dragons are also magical creatures. I believe everything in the world of MLP has magic one way or another. Just thought you should know.

Stay pony my friend.

Maybe ponies have cutie marks because they are the beings that are "on top"
Like us humans, we have imposable thumbs
Maybe same applies to ponies
As for Zecora, maybe she's a pony but her magic turned her into a zebra and that's why she practices magic
To turn back into a pony some day

Two things first maybe because zecora knows a lot about magic but not quite using it could classify her as a earth pony, second when starlight glimmer took away the ponies magic in her village they lost there color making them more like the other equestrian animals so that means without magic they're just normal ponies

If ponies are both the only ones with symbols representing their talents and the only ones with magic colors, then are they the only creatures that use elementalist magic? And maybe Zecora learned her magic from a pony so as to understand magic in that way? Villans who steal magic don't reflect understanding it?

omg i love how you where like "cough' starsworld the bearded" after you mentioned that discord used to be a pony.

point: when Tirek, when he was weak, met Discord in the dark alley, Discord was transformed into a pony with a tornado cutiemark. Discord also changes into a pony in the book 'Discord and the Ponyville Players Dramarama' AND has the same cutiemark

I would like to think that humans have the marks but we don't have magic but we do have a favourite symbol of some sort and we all have a destiny. So anything with a destiny had a cutie mark. Discord has no destiny, he just does whatever he wants. Terik basically does what he wants too.

Discord isn't a pony ( kinda obvius he shows no interest in being one). Maybe the reason Zecora got hers is because her body is the closest non-pony one than all the others,or it could be positive magic inside that let's ponies have cutie marks,which is natural for them. Archronici aren't naturally good.

Zebras are pretty closely related to ponies, so Zecora can be considered as basically an earth pony.

Here's something u should look into: where did celestia and Luna even come from?! We know from the hearth warming eve episode that there was a time without them, because they only rule over equestria, so how did they get here?! This has been nagging at me ever since I became a pegasister about 3 months ago. And how did the sun and moon move before their existence?

Only GOOD magic makes cutie marks appear. Also, magic obtained by Evil magic doesn't make cutie marks appear. Zaccora has a different, non-magical cutie mark related to tribal reasons, maybe a ceremony.

Ponies may have a lot more NATURAL magic. Even Tirek can never have enough natural magic. I think Zecora just has a tatoo.

Since it has been proven in the episode when the baby's were born that pints can obtain different qualities maybe zecoras mom was a unicorn and father was a earth pony and zecoras mom put magic in zecora while she was casting a spell like twilight did when she tried to open spikes egg

Zecora is prob magical cuz she lives IN THE EVERGREE FOREST ALONE

I think your theory is great I think that zecoras tribe have a special witch doctor like magic that both lets her have a cutiemark and be able to make the potions that she makes as for discord he can do anything just don't question it.

Maybe the reason why only ponies seem to have cutie marks is because the have the best understanding of magic. This also explains why Zecora has a cutie mark, and as for Discord in the title of the show it says that friendship is magic. It was proven in the end of season 4 that Discord does NOT have the proper understanding of friendship (this was shown by him not getting a throne like the mane 6) there for he does not have a proper understanding of magic. That or he's just Discord.

I find it interesting that mules do not have cutie marks in Equestria. A mule is a cross between a horse and a donkey (or a pony and a donkey). So, in theory, a mule could have a cutie mark due to the fact that one parent possessed the trait. I also find it interesting that the term 'mule' seems to be mostly used as an offensive term in the pony world, so maybe mules are frowned upon in the pony society.

I always wondered about this. I think Discord has a body that doesn't play by normal rules and Zecora is magic and that swirl on her bum is just a different type of cutie mark to go along with her zebra magic which works differently than pony magic because she is a different species. 

actually discord was starswirrled the bearded and used the elements of harmony spell to switch the elements but he had no friends and he turned into discord

I have a big imagination but just imagine she used to be a pony with that cutie mark and then a dark magic turned her into a zebra!

I think that Zecora IS a pony. We’ve seen the three tribes (Pegasi, Earth Pony, Unicorn) so maybe zebras are another tribe. Or maybe unlike donkeys and mules, who don’t have magic in them, zebras do. This would give Zecora a cutie mark. Also, did Tirek steal her magic?

Zecora dosent have conventional magic, but does however have knowlege on chemicals, which suggests a more scientificaly advanced race in medicine. That may also be equal to pony magic.

if youre right about discord being star swirl then maybe zecora used to be a pony too,but when she became a zebra she was sent far away and then suddenly came back to see ponyville again.

I noticed that ALL villains don't have cutie marks like chrysilas, sombra, and the Mane-Iac they don't have cutie marks. Except for Nightmare Moon Who WAS Luna so she really doesn't count in this list but every other villain doesn't have a cutiemark. One thing Shimmer also counts in this as in Equestria she does but it focused more on human.

actually, I think not all ponies have magic. I think that unicorns have the horn magic, which is enough for them to have the crazy colors. As for pegasus and earth ponies, I think that the wings run on the Pegasus's actual strength, and not magic, and that the earth ponies can work well with the earth becuz that's just a skill they learn how to do quickly, and they r built for it. But their marks and colors r a different story...

i have a question that you can possibly answer! Will the cutie mark crusaders(including babs seed) ever get their cutie mark? or will they just stay young and never get a cutie mark?

Part two of my theory. Also what if they gain magic every time they beat an enemy, enough magic that it takes the enemy 1000 years to gain it back. So they can generate more magic if they have magic left in them. Thousands of years with having magic what if they need it to survive. What if Celestia and Luna were born from sun and moon?

I'd just say it's a genetic code of sorts? Where magic in a pony, is programmed to make an CM appear, meanwhile other species don't have that magical, genetic programming.

Have you noticed that changelings are kind of like alicorn is because I have a horn and I have wings

You need magic to have a cutie mark, but just because you have magic doesn't mean you will necessarily get one. It's a pony trait, so there's no reason Discord would have one. Hell, Sombra's a pony with magic, and even he doesn't have a cutie mark.

Zecora "magically" appearing water drink thing in the dualing episode. Zecora has magic but, she doesn't use a horn. That's the only problem in my opinion.

What's also weird is that the cutie marks are only on fur as when snips and snails got stuck with him then got unstuck there fur was pulled off and it was just skin

Ponies, Donkeys, Yaks, etc. know what their destiny is. A donkey may not have a cutie mark, but it knows its potential. It can make up one that goes with what it thinks about itself. A cutie mark is just the image of that potential.

Discord isn't full of magic. Discord is full of chaos. Magic has to follow rules, no exception. Magic cannot break those rules, they must follow them. Discord doesn't follow any rules. He can bend and warp reality. Create and destroy life. All things which magic can't do. Ponies can teleport, but teleportation follows rules, because teleportation has to follow science.

Discord doesn't have a cutie mark, because he isn't magical. He's a "Spirit" of Disharmony. A "Spirit" of Chaos. With how many times his body has come apart, I doubt his body is even "real" and rather made by something else like.... something! I dunno. Just something.



As for Zecora, I think it's a cutie mark. I mean, zebras do have magic, in my opinion. How else could they brew up magical potions?

Now this brings into question Kirins. They are similar to ponies being multicoloured and possessing magical abilities, but they don’t have a cutey marks.

Ok... dragons also vary a lot in color, and zebra magic could be channeled through the brews. Notice How nopony has asked Zecora for a recipe. Also, breezies have no cutie marks

The fact that mules exist is kinda odd to me... Mules are (usually sterile) hybrids between horses (ponies?) and donkeys. So why couldn't they be half magic?  And would the same thing apply to hippogriffs?  

The Sirens in Rainbow Rocks have cutie marks too, but this does fall in line with your notion that they were born with magic, and thus earned their marks. 

I started to think it was some kind of elitism that only ponies could be considered magical creatures and get cutie marks, but then I thought about every other fantasy setting:  We've got rangers, hobbits, elves, and orcs, which are not very magical in and of themselves, but we DO have wizards, mages, sorcerers, and the like. Some folks are just different, but no more or less important in the grand scheme. (though the way other livestock is treated and portrayed in MLP makes me wonder.. milking cows? penning up sheep?) 

Are we entirely sure Zecora isn't a zorse(zebra-horse hybrid)?
Also, Discord is a Draconequus, a horse-dragon hybrid. His magic is too scrambled to make any cutiemark.

Okay did anybody else catch that when Zecora is under her hood she looks exactly like the shadow pony, as far as facial features?

Zecora DOES have magic. In Magic Duel, she refills her cup by running her hoof on the rim.

Perhaps cutie marks appear on different places on different species?
Where the mark may be located in location on other species where it might not be clearly visible.

If you read the comics, Celestia and Luna have a parental-like connection with Starswirl. Also, If you check out InkRose's theory on Celestia and Luna's past. Also, Since Granny smith went into the everfree forest and was probably scared the memory is now imprinted into her mind and she cant forget it. Plus! Not all worlds ar perfect.

what if cutie marks are the result of only a certain type of magic? We know that there are different types of magic like dark magic, chaotic magic, and pony magic. i think that only beings with pony magic can have cutie marks because no other magical beings with different magic can have cutie marks.

I feel like Discord doesn’t have a cutie mark because like you said,

That would make sense. Nothing can make sense for the King of Chaos or he’ll disappear.

Zecora does have magic, in Magic Duel when Twilight knocks over her cup. With a rub of her hooves, she can make the tea reappear in her cup.

or zebras could be a sub species of earth pony, distant enough to not actually be a pony,  but related enough to have pony magic, or maybe even their own brand of zebra magic. in fact this could also be the case with changelings.

But in magic duel, Zacora does use magic. She refills her cup of tea twice after Twilight spills it.

It's not "how much?" magic it's "what kind?" of magic.

Zecora has magic because in "The Magic Duel" she used her hand to get the water come back like it just appeared

I think zecora's cutie mark is slightly different. maybe she contains some other kind of magic. I suppose it has smething to do with gems, or not

Magic is but the first requirement for the mark.
you need to find who you are, then be accepted for it, before the mark can show.

Is there any opposing culture with magic, where the individual can become recogniced for a tallent?
Discord is after all alone, for a good starter.

Zecora the Zebra does have a mark, if it is truely a cutie, I guess we could debate until the sun goes cold.
if it is, she still had someone accepting her for who she was, before leaving her Native hmelands.

if we recognice Zecora, why did neither the donkey not mule have it?
that's why it is such a bad bun, if for nothing else, isn't it?

For Zecora, i'd say it's just a natural marking, like a birthmark for humans. I have a birthmark, so I don't see why ponies can't.

Well zebras are very much like ponies. They just have stripes. Like a different race of pony ( unicorns alicorns pegasi earth ponies and ZEBRAS!!!) so yes i would agree that its a cutie mark. Also alot of people ( including me) think that discord used to be star swirl the bearded

I think Discord doesn't have a cutie mark because he has so much chaotic power he could make himself good at anything he wants, also you may have to have a pony form to have naturel magic that they are born with, not stolen.

Discord is the spirit of chaos so he would have always had that magic, and zecora just knows a lot about magic

Zebras are a part of the horse/pony family. This means Zecora can obtain magic as well as ponies in Equestria can.

My explanation for Zacora would be that she does have magic but it is in smaller amounts not really to do anything incept give her a cutie mark.

Although I do believe TBN's Discord starswirl theory & timeline, I noticed in the video there is still something missing: The Draconequus-Alicorn war that killed uh... A LOT!
Spoiler alert! Discord has a supposedly DEAD sister, who is/was a duchess. His parents are DEFINITELY dead, because they fought in the war because they were KING & QUEEN! So not only is Discord Lord of Chaos which is awesome by itself, he is a PRINCE! Dat is pretty pretty dang dang awesome! Uh... Enough said.

What about the changelings? All of them look more or less like alicorns, and are born to feed on love/emotions. Love/friendship is a magic or at least a fuel for magic in the show, so they seem like pretty magical creatures to me. Why don't they have cutie marks?

maybe Zecora could Be a pony with stripes tatooed on her and looks very similar to the ponies and even if not zebras are very closely related to horses

Dragons don't have cutie marks, but they are arguably magical. It may be that cutie marks are a display of magic unique to ponies and their closest relations.

Okay I see that Discord if he was Star-swerl the Bearded he Could have known magic all along and soon learned how to use it without needing a horn with Zecora I think that since she was found over In the Evergreen forest she has her own kind of magic Brewing What do you think of this Theory?

Discord is the being of chaos. Zecora (in my head canon) was born with the mark, and learned about magic in her mysterious past. Tirek isn't really a pony.

Zicora is magical, she can make water (or something) out of thin air. See it for your self in "Magic Duel"

Maybe only the type of magic ponies and zebras have can give you a cutie mark but not if you steal it.

Maybe only the type of magic ponies and zebras have can give you a cutie mark but not if you steal it.

Discord's magic is corrupted and from another dimension and it's a complete separate magic from cutie mark magic or pony magic at all which makes him have magic but not a cutie mark. There is also the possibility that he has no destiny because he can only bring chaos as it's ability from birth. Now to Zecora, she is a zebra, and zebras are very similar to ponies, she was born with African magic (this world's Africa), which gave her magic similar enough to pony magic to create a cutie mark for her, but because the magic was only SIMILAR and not the SAME, which results her cutie mark showing her destiny of making potions just like any other zebra (maybe) which means all zebras have this cutie mark, just like the equal symbols because all zebras have the same destiny. It could also be a tattoo just like you said. The last option is Zecora being a cursed pony, who became a zebra... nah.

According the the journal of the two sisters, zebras do have cutie marks. I think beings in Equestria who are ponies or closely related to ponies, like zebras, naturally have cutie marks. Animals with hooves who are not ponies don't have cutie marks but do have some sort of sentience. Animal combinations, like mythical creatures, don't have cutie marks, and it's up to the writers whether they are sentient. Animals which are a combination of ponies and something else don't have cutie marks, like Discord and mules, because they are not pure. 

Discord: Discord would possibly be a combination of a bunch of mythical creatures including the Pegasus or the Gryphon.
Zecora: Technically zebras are relatives to horses, donkeys and mules.

Every pony with a cutie mark has magic but not everyone that has magic have a cutiemark😂

The bit about stealing the magic kinda reminds me of the beginning part of Bastille's 'Icarus' for some reason...

1:08 I have a different theory. Celestia mentions that Tirek went to Equestria to steal Equestrian magic, correct? Key word: Equestrian. This implies that there is Magic beyond Equestria' s borders, but it is different. This is supported by griffins cloudwalking.

When Discord was ruling Equestria he had a cutiemark which made him more powerful than Celestia but when he was turned to stone Celestia took away his Cutiemark making him less powerful.

I think why Discord doesn't have one is because he is the element/embodiment of chaos, he is too unpredictably non-linear (chaotic) too have a pre-determined destiny, thus a cutie mark.

well with zacora it's just like he said zacora just knows magic we haven't seen zacora use magic in anyway so maybe her mark is a tribal tattoo and discord maybe the rule just doesn't apply to him because he's chaos he basically makes up the rules as he wants too

didn't twilight mention that zecora was born with her mark? I remember her saying it in the episode that she first appeared in, also twilight stated "she's not a pony, she's a zebra" so in a way she is saying zebras are not the same as ponies.

you forgot Zecora  refilled a cup of water by just waving her hoof over it! ^^ and she can apparently stand on water and make illusions

well maybe pony's have more of a destiny han discord. or other things. but then again Derek took all of everypony's magic and didn't get atleast 1 cutie mark(like you said).... so i guess you did some good explaining!

Did ANYONE notice Zecora MAGICALLY refill her cup in that one episode? She does have magic!

0:54 watching that little vid in the corner gave me a weird theory that Discord's chaos magic and his dimension are the same thing, as in his dimension is just his magic amplified or spread out. It has the same style and stuff. Or maybe it's just the way chaos is idk

You forget about Chrysalis. Perhaps only creatures with a certain type of magic get cutie marks?

I think zebra do have magic too. they are just a different type pony with different magic and cutie marks.

If Discord may have been a pony once, I don't see how he could have been Star Swirl, since evidence suggests that Star Swirl didn't vanish from the picture into after Discord's first defeat and well into the early years of Celestia's reign. That said, it's not at all outlandish that Discord and Star Swirl are connected somehow. 

Zecora did in fact use some form of magic. Remember when Twilight spilled her drink? Zecora swirled her hoof over the cup and it refilled. 

wait a min, notice how zecora's "cutie mark" ties in with her markings? maybe it's a birth mark. and discort may make some sense after all,maybe he has no cutie mark 'cause he doesn't have a pony flank.  just a thory. although what about the horses we've seen in mlp? were are their cutie marks?

Discord (when he was star swirl) had a cutie mark maybe when he cast the spell when it mitchmatched it took his cutiemark away and let him keep jus magic

Wow, the ponies have magic? What gave it away, the unicorns, Pegasus, or being able to talk?

All "types" of ponies have magic, but in other "shape". Same with others, they have magic in other shape.

I might know the answer!
Discord had a family that had magic.
And equestria has a lot of questions.

Zecora does not have a cutie mark but a tribal mark,and like twilight said"she is a zebra."but she does not have magic.my theory is that since she is from Africa she must know a lot,you know that tribes in Africa seem to know magic.idk

zecora does have magic because in magic duel she makes her tea re-apear after twilight spills it

Maybe zecora always wanted a cutie mark but since she is not a pony she dosent have one or she could just not have majic so she educated herself as much as she could about magic but the only way she could obtain it was tattooing it on herself (why it is not colored) and she chose the sun because it is a very important figure

Now I know why Tirek always want magic because he want a cutie mark!

Discord has chaotic magic, which is what gives him his "magic" and allows him to make more chaos and therefore create a cycle, and Zacora knows herbal magic, the magic properties of natural plants i.e poisionous joke

Well Zecora doesn't really have magic, she just uses gimics and ghouls to for example tell the future

The presence of cutie marks imply magic, but not vice-versa. You can't say that just because something is magical, it must therefore have a cutie mark.

Zebras actually are horses, they're in the equestrian family, and the species of whatever discord is doesn't have cutie marks

Well, zebras technically belong to the same genus as horses but the again so do mules.

This probably doesn't make sense but, what if the "magic" Tirek stole from earth ponies is their strength? Because he became stonger and more powerful idk

my theory is that zecora was a pony with a cutie mark that looks simaliar to her mark on the show, until discord came without his cutie mark and was mad, she was a zebra and had a cuteie mark! so he took  her cutie mark away and all the other animals cute marks away

Do one about why Zecora is the only zebra. This is my answer why the Cora is the only zebra in all of Questria, maybe she could have gotten separated from the tribe when she was a filly so she was in the ever free forest and she just lived there for the rest of her life, that's my conclusion.

Zecora IS magic and so DOES have a cutie mark.

Discord runs of Chaos magic not Order magic, so the same rules dont apply to him.

That is my head-cannon.

I agree with discord being star swirl the bearded that maybe after a long time he went crazy and did a spell that back fired and turned him into the ruler of chaos and forgot everything about his previous life

Hmmmm... well when you look at it discort sure knows a lot about magic. Soi think he WAS a pony but met a villain that changed him. As for zicora...

Could it possibly be that zebras are somewhat of another species of earth pony? Is that a possibility?

So in one of the books cutie marks started out as a mark and they got the idea to make a cutie mark._-_

Zaccora has a cutie mark because she has the same abilities as a earth pony just she is a zebra.

Maybe the cutie Mark is a mix between Magic and destiny, as ponys have in their Nature sticking to only one thing.

Zecora DOES have magic she made some drink (I don't know if it was or wasn't green tea) and that was magic.

Zecora or however you spell that name is a Zorse (zebra pony) and has magic.
Discord was corrupted by evil when discord was a pony and lost his cutie mark and lost his main magic and became evil.

Answer: In season 7 it was revealed Discord doesn’t just have magic but is... Fluttershy notes he was made of pure chaos magic or dark magic... that would make him the only remnant of the dark times in ponyville when the 3 tribes ruled ponyville. During that time there was anarchy or absolute monarchy by Discord’s parents... Starswirl just summoned him when he failed to make an allicorn spell... Discord is not StarSwirl but a sort-of-product of his spell this can be noted because Starswirl was summoned by Twilight in season 7 finale. AND HE WAS NOT DISCORD. Discord is the last of his kind and was brought back to life from Starswirl, although he came from parents of pure chaos magic he can’t remember that cause Celestia reformed Discord and wiped his memory... 🧐 hmmm... what else is Celestia hiding? 😱

Discord has a cutie mark when discord was a pony his cutie mark was a tornado/chaos the reason discord doesn't have a cutie mark when he's in his normal form look at him where would his cutie mark be?


For zecora she has magic she can refill her drink and many things her cutie mark is potion making

Maybe Discord is a magical being without a cutie mark
Like a blank flank

It would make a lot of sense for him to be a blank flank; he's a chaotic being that embraces the absurd and would have no destiny as destiny would be implying his life has direction, purpose
, or meaning

absurdism is a philosophicalschool of thought stating that the efforts to find inherent meaning will ultimately fail (and hence are absurd)

It's also possible that I'm misinterpreting his character entirely

I think only good creatures get cutie marks as a reward,like the ponys and zicora,and the bad creatures don't as a punishment,like somba and discord.and since ponys like nightmare moon/luna were good before,they got thire cutie mark before they turned.thats jut what I think. :b

Maybe Zecora, at some point in her life, had to disguise as a pony, and tattooed herself a fake cutie mark.

Well, as we know celestia and Luna only rule over equistria, there is other places in the world they don't rule over. The land with horses, and the other guys in the season 4 finale. They don't have cutie marks. Seeing as princesses have rib of magic, they are never queens. Maybe this is because they give a little bit of magic to each born filly.

i think that because they don't have cutie marks is because that they dont have natural magic like Twilight or Rarity or any others. Natural magic is a genetic trait that ponies have.and i think your right about them all having natural magic including pegasi and earth ponies. Pegasi have the ability to walk on clouds while others cant. thats a type of magic right? Earth ponies seem like the only ones who are good with plants. if a unicorn had a gardening cutie mark then that means earth ponies aren't unique. but they have magic in them. Sombras cape covers his flank so there is no proving if he has on or not. Chrysalis doesn't have a cutie mark is because she is a changeling. they take the form of other ponies, including their cutie marks. if they had one of their own, that might affect their appearance as another pony. as in, cutie marks blending in with each other, or the same cutie mark you had when you were a changeling. I'm gonna have to follow Brony Notion with Discord being Star Swirl. back to Earth ponies. they need a certain magic to earn their cutie mark. they need to find that one thing that screams APPLES! or CARROTS or something... i cant figure it out (hint hint) And Zecora does have a cutie mark but she doesnt have natural magic. she has Artificial magic she uses for her  potions. once she realized she can mix things with others she earned a cutie mark for Potion making. just in a way that her species could understand. Like Apple Bloom

Isn't Spike magical as well? How does he fit into this theory?

The problem is that Tirek was born with magic as stated in the comic FIENDship is magic issue 2.

i think you have to have to be born with GOOD magic, Because all the villains didn't have cutie marks because they had bad magic, trixie must of had hers because she was born with good magic, other villains must have been born with bad magic.

Discord is just Discord, and Zecora is the only zebra we've seen so far, so zebras could also have magic. We can't tell from just one example.

@The Brony Notion 
Discord could have a cutiemark, but it's just never visible. As @SnowScales commented, what if he never found his destiny? If Discord was Starswirl, what if Starswirl never got a cutiemark himself?

What if even the villians never get their cutiemarks, because what they do isn't what they're supposed to do? Let's take Chrysalis. I've seen a video where there's a theory about her, she is the lost princess of Crystal Empire. Cough Cough Tangled reference Cough Cough. Maybe her destiny was to rule Crystal Empire with Cadence? That never happened, and so changed Chrysalis. It also caused her to never get the cutiemark she was supposed to have. TroubleShoes got a cutiemark he thought he wasn't supposed to have, but it was. What if somepony or something changes in the timeline you were getting your cutiemark?

The cuteie marks are how you know what they are good at

I think that Zicora was not born with magic like ponys and maybe she was interested that's why she is so good at magic

Personly I think that discord doesn't have a cutie mark because he hasn't for filled his destiny. Think about it just like luna they both where once evil but that wasn't the focus on there cutie mark Luna's was raising the moon and discord has made a big difference from being a monster to being a good friend. Tell me what you think.

- Madison

Oh and ps. This would make an interesting video topic.

I think that the ponies magic isn't the cause rather "friendship is magic" and beings without high frienship don't get cutie marks or destiny is the magic and ponies with the destiny of chaos (discord and tirrek) have there cutie mark affect there whole body making them disfigured rather than putting it where it should be.

I agree with me xd2 but one thing I want to Addis that zecora IS full of magic only a few things between her and earth ponies that are different so I think she DOES have a cutie mark

Im not sure if discord was a pony , but it would be cool if he explained his story in season 5 and that he use to be a pony

Yes, they might have magic but it might not be the same type of magic...🤔🤔🤔

Zecora magically summoned tea into her teacup when Twilight knocked it over in magic duel.

ONLY PONIES HAVE THE TRUE MAGIC OF FRIENDSHIP

Zecora is a zebra aka part of the equestrian race aka so are ponies aka ITS CALLED EQUESTRIA!! My point is the fact that Zecora is in the same family can be a reason why she has a cutie mark as for the magic thing I think ponies have direct magic zebras have magic knowledge that get passed down and as for horses I'm not sure any ideas? As for the discord thing, I'm in total agreement.

discord could have gotten his cutie mark taken (by tia and lulu) or not wanted it and used magic to lose it

@thebrontnotion
personally I am kind of curious as to how status works in Equestria.
like what decides what gets magic because ponies and changlings do, even terek. yet I don't think Gilda had magic nor the bug bee, Ursa major, or the thing from "The elements of harmony."
and then there areregular bears and Ursas is an Ursa a bear with some sort of Magic you think?

like how do you think magic works in equstria? can it get stronger for everyone? like working out or nah?

I think discord doesn't have a cutie mark because he is so wild and random and doesn't really have to anything since he is a bringer of chaos. And for Zecora maybe she was born from a zebra and a pony so she got a little of pony magic from the parent who is the pony. I don't know it's just what I'm thinking maybe it's to random.

Ok. 1st: Zebras are a close wild relative of horses/ponies/mustangs in real life. So Zecora's is a mark, not a tatoo. Otherwise, why on the flank and not somewhere else?
       2nd: Donkeys/Mules are domesticated versions of horses/mustangs.(Like dogs are with wolves.
       3rd: I agree Starswirl is Discord, and the loss of his pony body and his problem with his final spell stripped him of his mark when he turned 'draconic'
       4th: Buffalo are closer relatives to cows, who don't have marks.
       
       

I think only good magical beings have cutie marks like princess Luna, celestia, cadence and twilight. And not bad beings like queen crysilis

Ponies gain their cutie mark when they discover their destiny, so maybe discord just hasn't done that yet. Discord should join the cutie mark crusaders!

maybe Zecora doesn't have a cutie mark it may be just a tattoo. My theory for discord is that he has not yet found out his special talent or his destiny, or maybe since discord may not be a pony he possibly could be one of the animal that is bounded to him as a curse? Wait maybe he was a pony! And he somehow had bad magic which could of got when he was born maybe born with it or even cursed by a villain, and discord couldn't control the magic and ended up alone, possibly celestia could of found him causing chaos and banished him which could of turns him into what he has became?

Well, Discord does have a cutie mark for the .0005 seconds we see him as a pony.

Maybe cutie marks and majic are like the blue sky and oxygen theory.

Oxygen equals Blue Sky
Blue Sky does not equal Oxygen

Cutie Marks equal Majic
Majic does not equal Cutie Marks

Who knows though?

i know i am late on this, but i have been thinking on it for a long time. okay here we go. discord doesn't have magic because his name means lack of harmony and a disagreement, makes sense huh? well since he lacks harmony.... he lacks harmony.... idk where i was going with that. well okay elements of harmony then you got discord. he lacks harmony. so he lacks.... elements? no that cant be right! well he is an antagonist, right? so if he is against ponies (that have magic- elements of harmony) he doen't get a cutiemark? im thinking thats the reason but idk for sure. i will think about it more and i will tell you what i got.

Zecora is part pony if you thin about it. Zebras and ponies are very close relatives… Although I wouldn't know anything for Discord but I truly believe that he was once Star Swirl. :D

Isn't Zecora a zebra, and not a pony? That might explain it, since donkeys don't have cutiemarks either.

discord and zecora (did i get her name right?) may be have magic but you don't really know what their talent are, do you?

If Zecora actually has a cutie mark, then what does the sun mean?

Discord is a draconicus, a chaosbringer. He was born as draconicus, but the first draconicus was originally an allicorn named Umbra, that invented dark magic, and turned himself into a chaosbringer

I know this is random but..my fave animals :D
1:wolves
2:dragons I know they don't exist
3:cats
4:tigers
5:pooler Bears
6:snakes
7:butterfly's
8:lions
9: snow leopards
10:dogs

Zecora is a zebra. A zebra is a type of horse. But to fit with my little pony equestrian just believe they are just a different type of earth ponies. I say Zecora cutie mark is part of her native lands and her skills.

I say Zecora maybe a witch doctor in her home land.

In some area witch doctors are said to cure strange ailments with potions, magic, and rhymes.

Sound a lot like Zecora doesn't it?

Discord is powerful but when twilight hold all the Alicorn magic it was a stalemate when Tirac had all three magic and discord.

We have to remember that Celestia is the weakest Alicorn. Luna and Candace is right now an unknown.

Discord magic can effect twilight.

Remember Starswirl failed. So if discord is Starswirl it would have be a success yet it wasn't. Discord have power just like Twilight Sparkle and Cover the clever. There has to be a connection

Well again Zebras may only do Alchemy which is a subcategory of Magic and Science so I conclude that all Ponies and zebras have cutie marks

Hello!!!! If u check back one episode she displayed her magic by refilled her water glass after twighlight kept knocking it over

I don't think discord is starswirl because in twilights kingdom celestia said scorpen and tirek met a YOUNG starswirl the bearded. Tirek already knew discord in the finale and he would have had to already be discord when they arrived on the planet....not a young starswirl.

or...
maybe everything/one has magic
but a flank is required to have a cutie mark

My theory on whyy discord doesn't have a mark is because:

Its not the presence of magic that gets you your cutie mark, it's the type of magic you have. Ponies don't have chaos magic, so discord wouldn't have a cutie mark. Also, its only if you were BORN with pony magic do you get your cutie mark. Tirek stole the pony magic, and wasn't born with it, so that explains why he didn't get a cutie mark. And zecora doesn't have pony magic, she's more a witch doctor, and she's also a zebra. But maybe she has a tribal cutie mark like the one on her hip? But there's my theory

I think cutie marks come from magic right? But with harmony. Discord has magic of disharmony so that's why he doesn't have any cutiemark

zekora has some sort of meditation magic of wiseness and my prediction for discord is that he is just some sort of magical creater from the everbreef forest

maybe Zecora came from another land in Equestria planet. and there is a lot of zebras, with cutie marks.

Well Zecora is the deus ex machina, along with the elements of harmony and whatever happened in twilight's kingdom. That would explain her knowledge of magic and cutie marks.

Discord doesn't have a Cutie Mark, because, well, it's Discord. However, in the Season 4 Finale, we see Discord as a pony, with a Cutie Mark, which is a tornado, the same one Apple Bloom had in The Cutie Pox.

I don't agree with how Discord used to be a "pony" maybe it is because he has a pony head and a pegasus wing with a combination of Everfree Forest nonsense but just because he has magic, doesn't mean he should have a cutie mark.

Only ponies have cutiemarks , perhaps because they were created or born through magic.
Or perhaps only the ponies species have magic in every single individual of the specie, may be Zecora has magic but perhaps not all zebras have magic.

If EPs have magic so to zebras.
Are zebras ponies? I mean look at history, Native Pacific and American people often mistook Europeans as non-human (I think).

I think, that only pony's can have cutie marks. Zicora is a sort of a pony, mabye half a pony, so she has a cutie mark. Discord is total not a pony, so he total hasn't a cutie mark!

ponys have cutie marks cause they have magic AND they discover there destiney's but apearinently while terreck stole the magic he didn't discover his identity and discored didn't either

I think discord is starsword a bearded and so he has magic and zecora is mostly like a pony so that IS actually a cutie mark (just a thought)

I saw this question, and I think...
It’s probably biological. That makes sense. At least you research it.

Still need to solve why Hippogriffs kinda have magic too where does the Pearl come from or the changelings have magic too so why do they don’t have cutie marks?

I think zecora is a earth pony and has magic in some way

Discord can't have a cutie mark because he has no set destiny as we all know he is chaos so there for his life path and destiny changes constantly with he's choices as well as with the people he meets because they all influence him and help him make his choices we can kinda think of him as play dough who ever it is that has he's trust and who he listens to the most is who controls his destiny I guess

Sawtooth: one used to be a pony or two He didnt obtain his magic through natural memes

Me:three discord dosent have a destiny

I think it's because only ponies are born with a type of magic that only pony's can have thats how they have cutie marks and are so bright and colourful

What about the Appleoosa's most wanted? There was a horse! He was big and colorless, but he had a cutie mark, but I don't think, he is a pony.

BUT, a zebra could have one like Zecora! Did you think of that?

Dischord is a creature of chaos. Chaos makes no sense, so why should Dischord? Honestly, look at his figure! He is a menagerie of many different types of creatures. This alone should somewhat prove, based on what you say, that Dischord cannot have a cutie mark. Anyhoo, ponies are creatures of harmony. Dischord isn't.

she does have magic remember that one episode someone spilled her drink n she made it reappear

Maybe that only Pony's and Zecora has cutie marks is because they know their destiny. Discord knows his destiny but he is different in other words not close related to Pony's/horse like creatures.

I'm a blank-flank, so that's just proof that sometimes ponies don't have cutie-marks either.

Maybe Zecour is the shadow pony because her eyes are the same shape she could be wearing a hat as a disguise

I think you are 100 percent correct. I know I sound like a kiss-up but this is the first channel I subscribed to.

What kind of magic do earth ponies have?

Zebras are down the same line as horses/ponies but witchcraft is magic in a way wich she does

I found it...
it... is... MAGİC!!!!

Discord has no cutie mark because with him, nothing makes sense right? Exactly, it makes no sense for him to NOT have a cutie mark. So he doesn't have one because it is totally non-sensical! Nuff said.

Discord has an OC, he has a cutiemark it's a cannon and tornade (i think I remember) Just rewatch the season 4 finale or watch ACRacebest's brony reaction over it, it'll come.

Is Zecora the only zebra that appears in the show? If so, there still could be other rainbow colored bubble gum zebras around.

but zecora has magic, remember when she refill the cup?

Zecora is half pony and zebra but still zecora has a cutie mark
Discord does not have a cutie mark because discord is made of different types of normal animals is half pony is only a cloven hoof
Tirek has no cutie mark because he is made up of wild animals unlike discord he is only made of normal or unwind animals compared to Tirek

i think that ponies only have cutie marks is because they grow to have a special type of magic but discord doesn't because he is a Draconocus and Zecora doesn't beacause she is a zebra

Discord is a draconequus, not a pony and other creatures have magic within them without having cutie marks (Timberwolves are the only ones that are coming to mind at the moment), so it stands to reason that just because Discord has magic doesn't mean he should have a cutie mark, same goes for Tirak.  As for Zecora, remember, she, he, (actually was Zecora's gender ever even mentioned?  I always just assumed she was a girl but Zecora's snout is shaped like that of a male pony, now I wonder...) anyways Zecora is the only Zebra we've seen.  For all we know, zebras all have cutie marks that come in the form of tribal insignias when they come of age/realize something about themselves/find their special talent etc. just like or similar to the way ponies do, that's what would make the most sense to me at least.

In magic duil twilight spilled some kind of tea and just by putting her hoof on the cup it refilled with the same tea.

Zecora IS a pony, she's just a different type of pony, a zebra.

Maybe Zecora is really a pony you got tattooed stripes and was raised by zebras

Here's what I think. First, Discord. Now, Discord does have magic, but it's been bent and broken, curved, and straightened, until it become what we know it as, CHAOS! The easier way to explain it is that, Discord's magic is artificial, but not all the way. He does have magic, but it doesn't follow the rules of physics, space, light, etcetera. Basically, he's a mad man with an insane amount of unstable magic. Now, for Zecora. I think, Zecora does have a cutie mark, but it's kind of complicated. In the episode, The Cutie Pox, Apple Bloom drank a potion that gave her tons of Cutie Marks, hence the name 'The Cutie Pox' since it's like the chicken pox, anyway, I think Zecora has found a way to control the cutie marks, and can even manipulate them to be what she wants them to be. Wants them to be for reading? Of course! Wants them to be for decievery? Absolutely possible! And in this case, she wanted it to be a swirl for her to represent liquid ingredients in a cauldron being stirred. And I think she could long before The Cutie Pox episode. But that's for another time. T ootles!

I have another theory even though I'm 8 years late. Maybe zebras have magic but very little magic so they can't use magic but they have enough magic for a cutie mark to appear, like earth ponies. Keyword: MAGIC

Uh, in Magic Dual, Zacora magically made her drink appear.

It possibly because they were pony's you know how zecora knows all these stuff about the ever free forest she probably was a filly but something happened to make her become what she is and that mark appeared and discord was driven the path Luna was Celestia was discords mentor all until a new student came in and so on he got made that there was a new student and was trying to find a way so she will notice him but he came back with more power and renamed im self discord loosing his mark

I think that since Discord only has the head of a pony and not the flank of one is the reason why he doesn't have a cutie mark

If all the ponies have magic, of all the three types why do we only see the unicorns and actually casting spells? and yes, I deliberately omitted alicorns

With zicory (sorry if I misspelled the name I'm bad a this) and well technically with all zebras in the show are most portrays as another type of pony or at least that how I feel

I just realized its possible zecora is disQord's alter ego! Maybe there is a bigger connection between them and we can make a whole story about it, after all, it is true that they seem opposites
DisQord lives in chaos
Zecora lives in peace
It is impossible to look and find disQord without he coming to you
You always know where to find zecora

One thing maybe not just magic but friendship magic it would explain why Zekora has a cutie mark and discord never had one because it's still new to him

my oc's cutie mark doesnt come from natural means. my oc's cutie mark comes from his Dog-Tags.

They do have magic just not the same type of magic that the ponies have

I think sombra has a cutie Mark because how he uses crystals maybe even he has a crystal cutie Mark

I think sombra has a cutie Mark because how he uses crystals maybe even he has a crystal cutie Mark

I think there are 5 different types of ponies

Unicorn
Pegasus
Earth
Griffin
Zebra



What do you think?

I think that in the equestrian dimension only things shaped like pony's are made with cutie marks because celestia was tired of zebra complaining :I

Zecora does have a genuine cutie mark, she is a zebra, all zebras have cutie marks (J2S). Zebras are also equestrians, different species, same genus. Discord is not an equestrian. Then again Mules and Donkeys don't have them either, nor do they have any known empires. Zebra magic is also different than pony magic, sill equestrian, but different; why else would Tia be so fascinated with them.

I agree and maybe since zebras and pints are so alike they both have cutie marks or mane zicora is special or was also once a pony?

i believe Zacora is a pony just a different breed she has the shape of a earth pony

wait- so tirek took discords magic and was fine, but in season nine he says that cosy glow cant take it cus no creature can handle it except discord and is then proven correct?? what??

Discord never earned his cutie mark and zecora is secretly a pony in disguise!

Zecora could be half pony as her stripes are grey not white :/ one of her parents could have been a zebra the other most likely a grey or white pony

discord is made of many things that could be a response for him not to have a good cutie mark. I think that zecora is magic

My best guess is that the reason why Ponies have Cutie Marks is because maybe there is something special about there magic that might have something to do with the history of Equestria from the three tribes to the banishment of the wendigos (Season 2 Episode 11 Hearth's Warming Eve). Zebra's like Zecora maybe they had a similar history, but with something involving intense heat and dryness in their home lands.

zecora is basically a foreign pony with normalish colors that has markings all over her body, how would that make her so different from an earth pony that she doesnt have a cutie mark?

I have a theory that that mark on Zecora is a cutie mark, because zebras are a kind of horse.

How do we know that Star Swirl was banished?

Zecora is a zebra/pony other than discord, discort has a very special kind of magic, magic that doesn't have the ability to have a cutie mark, but zecora on the other hand she has pony magic, so it would make sense. 😎

maybe zecora was even an alicorn forgoten and was cursed,i mean how would she know how to teach twilight alicorn magic

Well I mean, Zecora has a cutie mark....

Discord is the glossaryck version of My Little Pony.

Um there is no possible way that starswirl could be discord. Remember the flashback in the book, scorpan met starswirl while the princesses were already in control so that means they already stood up to discord and turned him into stone. Starswirl was alive and discord was stone so they were not the same guy! Sorry but I just thought you needed to know before you make a fan fic

Read "Inner Glory" it explains a few things but, I do not agree with ALL of it. Also fair warning: while reading "Inner Glory" you will find some parts are so gruesome they are UNspeakable.

You forgot the tree of freaken harmony a source of magic.

Zicora is a potion master it requires magic or witchcraft in earth historyas for discord he is an immortal spirit. Key word (spirit)

Zebra+cutie mark= zacora in conclusion zacoras' NOT A PONY but still have a cutie mark

I think zecora have magic cause in magic duel when twilight spilled zecora's drink she can make the tea appear again..

When I watched someone's headcannon I believed it was true when discord was a baby he wasn't a pony he has always been a draqoneques wich is a pony head with a mixed up body

I feel like Zecora is just an earth pony from another land as there are many more unexplained and unknown lands such as Sadelarabia

I think Zecora's cutie mark is real and I also think Discord was a pony [cough cough] [starswirl the bearded]

Tecnacaly zebras are ponys because they are in the same family as horses and ponys so that's why zecora has a cutie mark .

well discord is supposed to be disharmony or probably not like the rest even though he has magic his destiny is not clear yet he caused chaos and now he helps equestria but his destiny was changed from spreading discord or disharmony so maybe he will get one eventually 

What about when zecora refilled her by motioning her hoof over the cup?

zecora has magic in magic duel after twilight spills zecora's drink she made it appear in the cup again

You should look in to how the everfreeforest was made

when trex finds discord he is a pony. he also had a cutie mark

Since zebras are closely related to horses it could be that the horse family has cutie marks

For  Zecora  it might not be a tattoo I'm thinking maybe  she used to be a unicorn and she was having a magic dual against someone and  turned her in to a zebra so she still had her cutie mark and in magic dual she was training twilight with her past experiences with dualing

I think zecora,s mark really was just war paint

To explain the ponies color when their magic is taken, their color is lost

Zacora was probably born with it as well maybe she is the only one?

Ok so having much magic do not mean u have a cutie mark. Look at before Sweety bell got her cutie mark in the episode where Twilight was their teacher or whatever. Sweety bell had much magic but she did not have a cutie mark. Not having a cutie mark does not mean u are bad at magic or is not magicly talented.

Only discord and zecora? What about Queen Changeling? She also has magic but she doesn't have a cutie mark.

zecora-a zebra like pony.talent-helping people that dont understand.discord-no offense,but hasbro should see your discords cutie mark vidio.

you need someone to accept you, in order to have the mark, the mentioned exceptions lives alone, all by themselves?

But how about in equestria girls. Magic was never there before twilight came so how is the clothing still the same as the cutie mark? I mean I guess sense it's a parallel universe it would be destiny but it still doesn't explain how they got it in the first place.

That'd be so awesome!!!......if discord was originally star swirl. The bearded.!!!!

Well discord was a pony at first he used his magic to become a what he is now😈😃

And now zecora is a zebra she is part of the horse-pony family her cutie mark shows how magic is made and its kinda a tatto as showen 🍯🐎🐴

Okay so I believe that all ponys have some magic hense the cutie marks and they being the only one's with them for Zukora I don't really know it might be that her mark might be a cutie mark or it might be a zebra thing and all of them have it we don't really know since Zukora is the only one we seen so far. Now Discord It could be that he is that he was once a pony Cough Star Swirl the bearded cough I have seen many theory's about Discord being starswirl the bearded I think that it could be possible that he once could be him. The spell from Magical Mystery Cure "From one to another, another to one. A mark of one's destiny singled out alone, fulfilled." now this spell was unfinished and no one really said why or what really happen to Star Swirl after he did the spell this is what I think since he didn't have any friends or it maybe that isn't a thing and I'm just crazy... Well back to what I was saying~! Star Swirl could of changed since he didn't have friends it could be posible that he changed into Discord. But he could be just what he is an Draconequus but he is the only one how is this possible? I mean if he is the only one of his kind where did he come from? I don't mean to say that he is 100% Star Swirl but it seams very likely I don't know maybe that's just my thoughts.

I guess that ponies are born with a different type of magic which can only be found in them it helps them to find there true selves

Ok but now we got a new problem, a new generation

This sparks up a new discussion cause even WITHOUT MAGIC they still had their cutie marks, I really don't have any idea on how this would work but please reply cause this just confuses me.

What about spike, he has magic... maybe because of twilight spell when he hatched him...

I somehow don't think Discord was Starswirl the Bearded at one time.

Actually,scoots loo dosen't have her cutie mark,but she has magic.

I've got a good question why is there a slenderman pony in pinkie apple pie?....when you look at the part when pinkie is spinning with applejack while spinning you look in the left corner of the frame and see a slender man like pony with no eyes or mouth why is he in this and why?...that would be a good explanation he's been spotted on other comments of my little pony too in the shadows mostly of course in the forest...explain to me please...

Zacora is technically the closest creature in aquestria to ponies other than ponies, so maybe that plays a role in it? As for discord, well..........hes discord. `\_'-'_/´

Zecora's "cutie mark" is a tribal tattoo otherwise tirek would have come to her

Why do ponies only have cutie marks?

Me: Because its what the my little pony team decided to make a cutie mark since 1080 😂

Hold the phone what if a long time ago ponies used to not have cutie marks then star swirl casted a spell that would give someone a gift for discovering what their purpose is and that gift was a cutie mark


Idk I may be on to something

Discord probably is his cutie mark because he is full of chaos and I agree that Zecora only has knowledge not a cutie mark

Maybe chaos isn't discords to talent maybe if he realizes he's true talent he will get a cute mark

But other beings have magic too? doesnt Tirek have magic? What about the changlings?

Discord is just that discord. He is chaos and disharmony. When the ponies find inner harmony they get their cutie marks, but because discord can never find harmony with himself he can't get his cutie mark.

idk about Zecora, but discord is the SPIRIT OF DISHARMONY. SPIRIT. SPIIIIRIT. so i dont think he was a pony, and i also googled draconiquus to check what kind of creature it was and it only came up mlp related stuff, so he's simply the magic of disharmony (or something like that) that's taken the form of discord

discord has a cutie mark,in the season 4 finale,when discord confronts teirek,pause when discord is a pony and his cutie mark is a tornadoe!

Zecora is a pony because zebras are a kind of pony or horse. The show wanted to add something exotic to match a episode, but still be a pony, which is a zebra.

100% percent on the spot

The explanation for discord is easy: Chaos
He never makes sense, so why on earth would he get a cutie mark the same way ponies do?

zecora is like earth ponies. she has no wings or horn, but still magis

who is your favourite out of the Cutie Mark Crusaders?

This might be a little late but discord has chaotic and destructive magic and zecora does have cutie mark that is like voodo

maybe magical beings with hooves have cutie marks

+The Brony Notion Awesome videos! Now, I have a question....
how do u make your videos? Because, I would like to start a mlp-fanmade story channel. And how do you put in audio?

Maybye Zecoras father was a pony and her mother was a zebra?

Sawtooth: 0:59 "Discord was a pony. "

Me: 0:59 " DISCORD IS NOT REAL!!!"

zecora kind of has a cutiemark

Im pretty sure zecora is a zebra.. z-e-b-r-a z-e-c-o-r-a heh get it it makes sense.

How does Zecora have a Cutie Mark?!?!

is it possible to have to cutiemark even if a pony is grown up?

but Zecora had a cutie mark even though she is a Zebra.

You have to figure out what Discord is before thinking why doesn't he have a cutie mark? With Zecora, she isn't a pony but a zebra so she shouldn't have one anyway.

I noticed that equestria sounds a lot like america so probably their are different animals for different parts of the world and only equestrians have cutie marks like only Utahans and Idahoans have frysause

i honestly thought it would just look bad on other creatures

i think i can explain discord. 
you know cutie marks express who you are and your destiny, but discord doesn't have a only destiny or form. he can do whatever he wants an turn to whatever he wants so there's and exeption. right?

Oh I do magic. Wait, I MIGHT HAVE A CUTIE MARK?!?!?!?!?!?!

What if zecora is a half pony and a half zebra that would explain her cutie mark

I am sooo lost. But I think the reason why discord doesn't have a cutie mark is, that he was in fact a real pony,but some magic spell was cast on him to combine his body with other creatures bodies.

well discord has bad magic and ponies have good magic at least at first while the other entaganists Idk how to spell that have dark magic and don't have cutie marks so I think it has something to do with good magic

you should make a video about is discord a alicorn. i mean he does use magic and he has wings and a horn like a unicorn.

Discord uses dark magic or witchcraft. Zecora studies witchcraft magic and dark magic.

Aren't dragons magic? Why don't they have cutie marks?

Also even though terek has a horse body he thinks he can just suck up the magic and go with out getting a cutie Mark

Zecora is a zebra. Zebras look the way she does. Therefore,it is a tattoo

Ok where is my cutie mark?
I have the magic of procrastination while eating gummy sodas at 5:00 am

actually, he is a changling, so it makes sense if he is a pony creator because he has to change the looks.......translatoin-his oc had to make a oc to change into.

I think only ponies have cutie marks because the show is called MY LITTLE PONY so the ponies HAVE to be special.

OK SnowScales has a great point what if Discord thousand his mark was to create chaos which it was not cause he's good so he decided that when he did not get his mark to quit trying to get a cutie mark or
big he IS STAR SWIRLED THE BERDED why else would he stop the 2 sister in laws from studiying Star swirled the bearded in the festival the sister in laws as Cadence and twilight!

0:58 -  Isn't discord PART pony? at the head or something XD Because i remember in the return of harmony, Cherilee said "It has the head of a pony, and a body of all sorts of other things". Forgive me if I'm mistaken.

And with Zecora, Don't her Potions, and partly-related-pony-being make her able to in a way? Maybe it does.. maybe it does...

i think its because discord has chaos magic and not any of the ponies also yes, discord was starswirl

Discord could have a hidden cutie mark😱

my parents have cutie marks! there called tattoos 😂😑

how does the cutiemark evan apear on a ponys flank does some pony use magic to put them there like a sticker?

zecora must have A cutie mark because of that tattoo

I think that you should have shown how discord would look as a pony

Discord has the head of a pony, the body of different animals, he has a cutie mark but it is not shown because there isn’t a place for it

I think cutiemarks are what they are realy good at

Because ponies are magic!!!

hey zecora has magic in one of the episodes she makes the tea in her cup re-apeare

my thought is that ponies have a special type of magic that on other creature has

Wait if ponies have cutie marks then why do I dream that I have a cutie mark on my cheeks that look like snowflakes

Probably because Ponies are the 'mane' species in the show.

Changlings are a pony race,the reason they don't have cutiemarks? well I think it;s obvious,it would ruin thier dusgues as areal mark would undobtably be visable over a fake one. say a changling got a cutemark for juggling then tried to imitate someone like Rairity... I think a bunch of bright colors or a ball and two hooves mite be rather noticable among her normal diamonds don't you?

I figured out that maybe Chrysilas doesn't have a cutie mark because her mother told her she didn't need one or maybe she isn't even a pony maybe something else. I mean she does have that Swiss cheese like legs and body.

well, discord has different magic, and not the kind ponies have....

Discord does have a cutie mark, it's a tornado. Freeze frame the screen right before tyrek realizes discord-pony is discord.

No.not the only ponies can have cutie marks there are examples
1.zecora=a zebra 2.trouble shoes=horse
3.in Equestria girls=humans
4.rock hoof=horse

I think Discord has no cutie mark because his magic is chaos based

But...Zecora has as Cutie Mark but she is a Zebra. So, that debunks your theory!

Well, zebras are part horse so... Zicora can be exseped, but if zebras were not part horse then zicora wouldn't be an exsepin. And about discord, discord and starswerl have the same beard. So it is plazabul that discord and starswerl and the same thing!!!

What about Spike, he is magical right?

in 1:03 he's like " cough cough star swirled the bearded"

Why does Trouble Shoes have one then? He's a Clydesdale, a breed of Draft Horse.

villains mabey don't have cutie marks because they deny of have yet to understand there destiny. mabey and other animals besides poney do not get a cutie mark because,like you proclaimed,do not have magic and apperentlyzecora was an exeption with the almighty faustacorn.

Hold on but dragons are magical

actually the cutie mark is not linked to destiny as most people believe

Zecora has a cutie mark and she's a zebra!

i think because his "talent" has to many different trates and its not just linking to one trate like ponys for example apple jack bucks the apple trees and rainbow dash clears the sky.

I can ask this question (I haven't watched it yet) why do only have birth marks. maybe thats why

discord the bearded and zecora the shadow i believe that discord is star swirl and that when he did that spell that switch the elements of harmony he was altered to be come this mix and match of animals zecora is a different story all though she isn't a unicorn she does know about magic why because i think she was around when discord first came in a fit of ciaos she was shown the secrets of magic

I think discord didn't want anyone to no that he's star swirl so he made his cutie mark invisible

Ponies could have taught Zacora magic. Just because she wasn't born with magic doesn't mean she can't make it. Plus that might tie into how Zacora got her cutie mark/ tattoo. Also ponies come in four kinds of breeds, and you MLP fans should know them. I also noticed on the Brony Notions episode of "my little horses" , if you look very closely, the horses DO NOT have cutie marks. Leave a reply on what you think.

Discord is....


well, disagreement, and chaos, so that means he is just an exception

Ponies r not the only ones that have cutie marks unicorn have cutie marks pegues have cutie marks alicorns have cutie marks

I have herd that Discord has a daughter and in Return of harmony she is seen flying with her helocopter hat, but she has a cutie ,ark so why doesn't Discord if his own " daughter" has one? from crystal snowflake327

Discord is THE Star Swirled The Bearded And He Has A Powerful Secret!

Discord has magic but he just did not realize his special talent.

zecora has magic remember when "twily" whent to go train with her for the magic dule when twilight kept spilling zecoras tea she "magicly" brouth it back with hint hint magic

Number 1:discords magic is ment for chaos Number 2:ZEBRAS ARE PONYS TOO!!!!!!!!!and she has lots of potions

Why does Zerkora have yellow eyes and then have blue eyes?

thanks i would like u to look in to chrysilas a bit more because although u mencend her and the changlings in one of ur video im confused how in the wedding chrysisilas is the only one to get though shining armors shild and why princess celecar couldnt do his spell please look in to this as im confused and u have answer lots of my questions in lots of ur videos thank you 

What does Zecora's cutie mark mean?

what about changelings {after reform} or hippogrifs , they have so much magic still not cutie mark
even though I saw a griffon want to have a cutie mark but all in vain......................
I think only ponies are having cutie mark because of there nature ........ the first pony in all equestria must be doing anything and then started to do the only thing she was good in or what she liked most and that's how she/he got cutie mark.............................I think my theory is true because hippogrifs and reformed changelings also are so colourful......my theory is perfect and I am gonna belive it

all creasures with magic CAN have cutie marks

I would say that discord is a cuite mark him self because he looks like chaos wich is what he is.

Do you think you could explain what teereck is?

In case you accidentally check out comments on videos from so many years ago, let me blow your theory with one word: Kirin

Maybe cause Discord contains a ton of chaotic magic.

In the movie Herculeas Hercules loses his immortality but not his powers discord is like Hercules.

Discord’s pony half could have a cutie mark, we just don’t see it.

Zicora is a Zebra from the everfree forest ( not magical)

Discord is well... discord so dosn t need a cutie mark

Zecora's Cutiemark is a real Cutiemark but since she is a zebra her Cutiemark is one color

Why only birds have feathers?

Ok here is my thirty zicora is more of a earth pony as you sead when you were talking about zicora so maybe she doses have magic but not like the one were used to she has the right stuff for making magical temidy so maybe she is like a earth pony but if anyone has any ideas on what i mean leave a comment ofwa

i think zecora isnt a zebra but instead a zebra colored pony

Discord is a mix bread, there for he has magic in part of him, but not others. Only pony's have marks there for discord is not all pony so he can not have a mark. But tearack did not ha e his mark because he did not have the magic long enough. Plus like I said about discord he is not all pony.

maybe zecora isn't a zebra but a pony in disciuse! pinkie pulls of
 flutter shy very well in crystal empire part 1 or 2

Well once discord was pretending to be a pony for a split second and he had a tornado cutie mark but idk if that means any thing

The EverFree forest it a completely different parallel universe whos laws of physics are different from the rest of the pony universe. Maybe that's why zecorea can do magic there?

You You forgot changelings have magic and can get into marks when transforming it into ponies. WAIT! If Tree I tried to steal magic from changelings, would it work? How powerful would he be then? I mean in one epi Episode where Chrysalis, and Derek teamed up with cozy glow there was this Seen where chrysalis gave Magic to terec and he got a ton of PowerPoint power So how powerful would he be if he stole magic from a well fed changeling hive?

But what about The Queen of the Changlings and Tirek?
Why don't they have cutiemarks then?

There was a star wars reference in twilight's magic training with Zecora 🆒

Wait, wait, wait... Zecora"s "cutie mark" is what looks like the sun, does that mean she is connected to Celestia?

Wait wait wait pony's are all different colours so zicora can have stripes but they represent her colour
Or the other reason is that she lives in the ever free forest we're all things magical happens is that's how she got her stripes so she was a normal pony before she lived in the ever free forest
I hope u guys agree

Cutie mark is from magical invention.

Discord as a pony is when discord meets tirek.

Makes sense!

Zakora is half ,1/3 , or 1/4 pony. (Or she Is just a natural powered witch Dr)hmm? Or she is a supernatural guardian that acured only bcus the magic inside of twilightsparkle & so now Zakora is a guide for ponys who ether can't control they're magic or needs help with they're magic! Another therie is discord made her.

ok ok i think i know how ONLY ponies have cutie marks. cutie marks appeared before  starswirl so thats also how starswirl was born. zecora got hers from a accadent in dark magic and it obtained inside of her family and it formed a cutie mark meaning brew magic. discord IS starswirl and when he was changed his cutiemark was eraced. so back when nothing even called a cutie mark existed starswirls parents were going to have a earth pony. they wanted a unicorn so they went to a relitive of zecora not like cusion a great grand parent and had him changed. when that happened he obtained the magic and got the FIRST cutie mark. having this happen he has so much he had to spred it though equestria and when he did all the young ponies got magic and started gaining cutie marks and it spred from generation. later starswirl (having no friends) made a spell and it changed him and destroyed his cutie mark and now HES discord and all that magic is because he was the first pony with magic inside of his body before he was born. so all that magic was from a brew that changed discord into a unicorn when he was born.

Discord is a mythological creature therefore not a pony so therefore cannot have a cutie mark .

Maybe ponies have a DIFFERENT KIND of magic? :/

Sectors is a cousin of ponys donkeys or mules are on their own level

Secora and Descord is a kind of pony's so that will mind that the can have a cutymark:3

mabe one of starsworled the beardeds spells went wrong andhe turned into a draconicus namily discord he is also madeup of all sorts of animals other animals besides ponys dont have cutie marks

Cool. I always thought that discord IS Starswirl the bearded. Anyway cool vid.

you know when tirek or whatever his name is😐 stloe discord's magic but was a different colour then to the ponies..... well maybe discord has a different kind of magic. think about it😕

Zebras are like ponies. Discord used to be a pony,STAR SWIRL THE BEARDED!!!!!COOL

I beleive that Zecora has even more magic than Rarity.Of course not the other main unicorns we know of, cuz most of them are princesses.But now back to what I was saying,I beleive that is because if you noticed what she has done in the seires you would understand.For example, when she first comes, she had yellow glowing eyes (of course it might be the shadow but please continue reading) and everyone thought she was scary and evil because she has spells and potions.(DEAL WITH IT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH YOU GUYS AND YOUR FANCY SHMANSY HORNS)Now maybe she doesnt have magic, but if whats his face at the ending of season four was able to steal magic from earth ponys, then what makes Zecora any diffrent?NOW I have one last fact of Zecora being more powerful than Rarity, is because she is a zebra.The only one.How would she be there?How would she still be alive if her population when extinct?Discord, who is a draqquanicist (porbrably spelt that wrong) was of course not the only one of his kind.And, how he managed to still be alive to this day is because of magic.Now, if Zecoras population just became exctint, we would have seen a zebra before.Now, if anyone can find ways to object or help my theory please reply :)

well discord I think that he was born with an evil sores of dark magic and if he was star swirl the beared he must of been curpdid to turn into discord.

zecora has a cutie mark, and shes a zebra but she is realistically colored.. well kinda her stripes are gray not black and she uses magic sorta, I dunno my theory is that zebras are natural remedy and medicine makers and also they are witch doctors voodoo and what not. but their not that great at growing the plants they need to make these things even if they know the plant inside and out, they just don't have that green thumb :I but then again I could be wrong, if you cant grow plants they might all starve to death XD

EDIT: I wrote the comment before I watched the video opps haha.
also question theory. why is zecoras cutie mark like celestias?O-O

When Discord is a pony if u pause it u can see a tornato cutie mark on him

or if Terik had taken magic the taken cutie mark magic don't work even if you steel it

Zeacra is a pony she zebras are in the pony family and I think Kadziet Yagami is right about Discord

the shadow pony is zecora she even lives near the castle of the to sister's

Hey, zebras are a wild COUSIN of horses/ponies, there’s Zecora analyzed

No, It's because ponies are the main focus of the show. Why else is it called 'My Little Pony'?.

In the past they where poth ponys zecoria being a zebra was a pony at first a loooooooooooooooooooooooong time ago.

Maybe zebras nave cutie marks too

Zecora is a zeabra and she has a cutie mark because she’s a kind of horse so maybe only horses have cutie marks

Well..Zacora could be half zebra, half pony which....Doesn't make sense?idk

For the Last Time, Discord IS NOT Star Swirl the beaded. Discord doesn't even have traces of a beard!

Maybe Zecora is a zebra because look at the colours....
But I say maybe

Well changelings have magic

Maybe they’re just blank flanks

Isn't troubleshoes a horse? Or is he just a very large pony wait isn't that a horse? I'm confused.

Heres my theory
Zecora is some sort of witch
Pony is demigods
Alicorn is goods / goodeses
Discord Is some sort of more power full good

Zecora has magic. how do you explane her weird magic cup thing in The second trixie epesode? (Name escapes me)

Zecora: I will ruin this mans whole career

Zecora has magic so she has cutie mark

Before this video started, an arbies commercial popped up, and I just realized how funny there tag line is mixed with the symbol, the tag line is "we have the meats", and the symbol which is suppose to resemble a giant hat, looks like a giant dick. coincidence? I THINK NOT!

zecora does not have a cutie mark:[ shes a zebra not a pony its just a tatto!

Maybe zecora is a pony but different then the other ponies and isn't from equestria

Tirrel doesn't have a CM because he isn't a cutie
-3-

I hate how people use discord as an exeption for everything . Discord is not actually a being, he is simply the sprit of disharmony incarnated into an actual body

Zecora is a Zebra (and a Zebra is a HORSE!)

Ponies have a different type of magic like humans have different blood types and a cutiemark also contains talent Zacora may not have magic but she has talent and the rest don't have any magic we can discribe

How can a earth ponny have magic

Maybe it's only magic Equines that have Cuties Marks.

Hay did you know that zebras are in the horse family a long with donkeys, mules, and zedonks (it is a zebra donkey cross breed that look pretty cool)

maybe one of zecora's parents was a pony?Andmyou, do now that discord is PART pony.

zicora has a cutie mark!

A ponies cutie mark is never repeated, what I am saying is that ponies are like zebra's.

I have a question, can a not pure pony (like changlings, Hippogriff, Sea pony and kirin) have a cutemark?

zebras are part of the horse family

It is very possible that Discord is Starswirl! On one episode Discord shown himself as a pony. His cutiemark was a tornado. A tornado swirls. StarSWIRL. Starswirl the BEARDED! Discord has a beard. There isn't a lot of info on starswirl. this could mean somethingh.

If u watch ink roses history, ul find the real answers because she agreed with Lauren Faust on the subjects that she was talking about

in the seazon finale discord apears like a pony .. WITH a cutie mark.. and it fits to him.. maybe his old cutiemark? maybe nothink? idk

well zebraz are like ponys jest there hair is pointed up and they have strips

I think discords magic was the void its self

I think the reason only ponies have cutie marks is because they are the dominant race in Equestria.

Before when she was teaching twilight magic she made her empty cut full

In that sense, he shouldn't have one.

A turqonaquis (or how ever u spell it)
Are born with magic
But they r just mixed
Yes discord has a head of a "pony"
(it looks horse like tho)
But I'm just thinking (he's so out of order) that he would have a cutie Mark but doesn't since rules just don't apply to his species

Zebras are type of horse except they have stripes

Maybe ponies and zebras get cutie Marks! we haven't seen any other zebras

Discord only has it ad as a pony but zecoras is because as you said they have to have MAGIC and zecora does

I agree...but maybe just maybe..they don't have cutiemarks...because they don't know what there desitiny is..? because take tyruk for example.. he is selfish and mean..he has no cutiemark..because he dosnt focus to find out what it is..

(Not the person you see in the profile) Anyone else know that zebras are part of the horse family?

Isn't discord like the spirit of chaos in Equestria?

So does that mean that Scootaloo Is never able o fly.

brony notion discord is not full of magic! he's full of chaos! DUHHH!!!

1:00 Counting on you, Larson.

Zecora is a zebra, she has a cutie mark.

( head explodes ) IM SO CONFUSED

What?! Discord is Star Swirled the bearded! Darn you, you gave it away! :(

Cutie marks are connected to magic becouse when you get a cutie mark magic happense

No because Zecora has a cutie mark

I get why zecora has a cutiemark shes a zorse half zebra half pony aka horse

or maybe Discord was a pony before cough cough S T A R S W I R L T H E B E R A D E D

Zora is a pony too !!!!

if you look at the episode of mlp when there are horses they have cutie Marks zecora is a zebra a tipe of horse so that explains that 😊🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐈🐇🐢🐓🐄🐖🐍🐑🐏🐐🐘🐟🐟👏👍👆☝👌

Zocora has a cutie Mark and she is a zebra

Because waffles make make magic and only ponies and discord eat waffles.

I think zecora is half pony half zebra

when he became discord(after being starswirl the bearded)he had to hide/remove his cutie mark or even more people whould try to learn more RIGHT?????????????????/

zicora has a cutie mark because she is technecly a poony!!!

i think zecora have magic but not like pony magic zecora magic is potion magic.

Tirek does have magic it's the magic to steal magic seen in s8 e25/6

magic? more like merchandise

Zecora is related to ponies so propaly she has her cutie mark on her flank

Hmmmm...cutie marks are magic

and do one why derpy has crossed eyes PLLLEEEEAAAASSSSSEEEE?

discord is a kaos magic zecora is a brew magic

Discord is a wild card
he doesn’t make sense

Me: hell he’s Discord ya dimwit
Also me: I think I ate to many Girl Scout cookies

I thought Zacora was a boy... Wow... Thx Brony!!!

I just came up with a great fanfiction idea!!!!

Maybe secora was born with that like a birthmark

i agree with u. but in the same time think that, maybe ponies are the humans, these ponies from equestria are the humans. their World is a pony World, just like the human World. BUT. The ponies are the humans WHO live like us. and all the other animals are just, animals. and i think that is why only ponies have magic

you used the uno card lol so funny

zacora has a cutie mark a sun like sunset and celestia

zicora can float above water

about zecora she,s just trying to blend in

Just reliezed he said Zecora

zecora: tribal tatto discord: used to be star swirl the bearded DONE!!!!!

it kinda makes sense

what about spike he has magic yet dosn't have a cutie mark.

Socora might be half pony and half zebra

discord should have a wild card cutie mark 

Discord doesn't have a cutie mark because he doesn't want to when he was a pony in the season 4 fanalie he had a cutie mark it was a tornado

Maybe because the have a special thing that makes them have it with celestia yup because of how she is equstrias leader and is a pony

A zebra is a type of pony

The zebra is the shadow pony

I got a theory that mythical creatures with magic don't ern cutie marks because they have too much magic, I mean look at discord and trex:3.

I think that there magical ability and cutie mark are to different things what if there cutie mark is there life force because when the bell stole the Luna and celestias magic they didn't loss there cutie mark but they did when what's his name did seareasly I forgot his name

As of season 7 episode 25-26 discord being starswirl is proven entirely false.

1:07 no discord was not starswirl that’s what twilight would say

DISCORD IS NOT A PONY HE IS MIXED WITH ALL THE VILLINS

dude look at the second to last episode in season 4 discord has a cutie mark

why do flim and flam have long horns other than unicorns but still not alicorn

Do a fact about why do chanchelings not have cuteimarks

zebras are like pony's.discord is star swirl the bearded

Discord has chaotic magic

What about Dragons though?

wait maby zecoras magic is arcane.

Discord is star swirl
And pony is pony
Not pony is zebra

but what about changlings?

maybe discord had got magic after his birth

I have something:
   Aren't ponies animals? Then why is FLUTTER SHY the only one who can talk to animals? Didn't Apple Jack talk to a talking cow and Pinkie Pie talked to a mule? But flutter shy talks to small animals? It doesn't make sense.

Discord has no destiny he can do what ever he wants

tirek say: where's my cutie mark?

my answer:.......Bro u don't have cutie mark.......😑

I know that dicord is part of everything and only ponies have cutie marks and everything in equeristria except ponies doesn't so that's why dicord doesn't have a cutie mark

Maybe Only Zebra and Ponys have Cutie mark

I think that this coral one stars world of beer did and he made a spell with all types of animals on accident and he have a key to Mark but no longer he does

Zecora has magic

Disord doesn't have a cutie mark because he is TOO chaotic, his Destiny is non existent because of his inpredictability.

I think that would be pretty much right

In my fan fiction pony's have more magic because they erred it

Ponies are basically horses and zebras are basically horses with crazy stripes so there for zebras are ponies and it makes sense why zecora would have a cutie mark

Zecora has a cutie mark

Zecora has a cutie mark

Changelings have magic and they don't have cutie mark

So you already explanied discord but zicora. Is a zebra that is in the evergreen forest making potions maybe she made a potion that gave her a cutie mark

zecora doese have magic because when twighlight spilt water in the magic duel episode she made more apere

ALSO ZECORA DOES NOT LIVE NEAR OTHER PONYS SO DONT THE VILLINS

i think one of zercora's parents was a pony

Zecora is half pony half zebra

 have a theory that Zecora is part pony. Like her mother was a pony and her father was a Zebra. It would explain why she is so small for a Zebra. After all. all other animals are pretty much the size they would be in the real world, except for Zecora, she is the same size as ponies. 

Umm... Zecora have a cutie mark and... She's a zebra...

There was an episode that discord was a pony in a scene at least show the viewers that 😋

I do think same about zebracora but I think discord was starswirl the bearded

I LOVE ANGEL BUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it doesn't explain dragons either though

In Twilights kingdom part one they show discord as a pony his cutiemark is a tornado

Maybe Zacora is a pony :0 🐂

I'd love to believe Discord is Star Swirl but he is NOT!
It just dose not add up also go watch kimpossible's take on that!

-this is from his daughter
why do you put pictures that we can only get a glimpse

Discord doesn't listen to the rules so that's probably why and Zeocra she's a witch doctor and maybe had a close friend who was a unicorn or ect

I heard someone crying at 1:42 XD

zacora has magic

Ponys can not have a tatto

What about Zecora?

I think zecora is a zebra.

Zecora has a cutiemark

Wrong zecorea has a cutie mark

zecora has magic in magic duel how the fuck elts did she make tea apear out of mid air

No true zecora has a cutie mark

when tirek stole pony magic thier cutie marks disappeared

Maybe discord
Just doesn't have a cutie mark

You know what apple bloom ate and got pony pocks what if zecora ate one and manget to controll it

Actually Zicora can yous magic, becas in magic dool when twiylite viseted here, she yoused magic to refill a tee cup, and thow this is small it is still magic.

This would explain the science behind cutie marks... but then again this is a show 4 5 year old little girls, so who are we 2 judge

I think youre all wrong think that the creators of this show totally messed up and didnt even care

Orrrr discord never found his TRUE destiny

hé is too awsome to have one

I have a griffin oc and I can't make a cutie mark for he :'(

and all the other villains cause chaos maybe a new one already has a chaos cutie Mark and discrod lost his chance of getting a chaos cutie Mark

Matilda the donkey has a cutie mark

My character is a reindeer... And she has one...

Ponies are colorful imo because the toys are colorful and they want to sell toys...

I meant why do only humans /people have birth marks (lol)

Discord has cutiemark in final 4th season when he meet tirek

Zacora my be a different type of hours ( pony ) but a hours nun- the less, so of course the black and white sun looking thing on her butt is a cutie mark. No she is not a unicorn or a Pegasus she is a pony..... from Africa, which does refer to another video the ( Brony Notion ) made about, that there might be other lands other than Equestria. 

HEY MAYBE LAUREN FAUST JUST DECIDED TO ONLY GIVE PONIES CUTIE MARKS!!!

Many cuz they are pony's they have other magic maby discord and zecora have other tipes op magic than pony's do well that's what I think ^.^

Why did I get... Oh O-o blushes and looks at huge crowd walks away slowly

Well Zecora is a Zebra

Oh gawd... if KP saw your video just now about you calling Discord Star Swirled XD She hatesssss that theory. 

Untrue sekora is a zebra and she has a cutie mark

Oh well... Looks like star swirl the bearded IS NOT Discord season seven has destroyed your theory.

Because they play a rule zicora makes posons. And discord is most of the time nice

true OMG william!!!!! and also discord like you said doesnt have a foresee able destiny really

mlp season 3 episode 6 magic duel = Zecora did magic ( the scene when Twilight spills her tea)

Maybe only pony-like folks, I don't know? Maybe Discords Cutie Mark Is Inside him O-O
Zecoras' Mark/Cutie Mark, could represent some hoodoo-woodoo swirly thingie, but seems to have no picture of what her true talent Is and Is the same color has her stripes. Back to discord, he Isn't full pony like I said, ahem...."Maybe only PONY-LIKE folks.", I mean, he has a horse leg and thats It, ( the pegasus wing might count ) BUT WHAT IS HIS TALENT?  Back to Zecora, there Is a bigger chance of Zecoras' mark being a real Cutie Mark rather than being a regular mark considering she works with magic like you said and tends to have CutieMark-like mark, yo CN what I'm saying? ( BAD PUN!!!! DX )

I think they have cutie marks because the thing they do most and is the ponies job and what the enjoy most?

PLEASE READ THE WHOLE COMMENT FOR EASY UNDERSTANDINGS IN 'KID' WORDS!!! CAUTION!!! Enjoy!

I think because maybe Stars-world The Bearded cursed Discord and then Discord turned
into a... chaos master! And his cutie mark was a chaos sign, also his face in Discord mode is the face of a pony! Who kinda agrees with me? Maybe he was a pony! Heheheh! WAIT! CUT CUT! SCRATCH EVERYTHING I SAID!

In the episode The Cutie Map S3 E1&2 look when Princess Twilight Sparkle goes back in the present for about the 7th time! DISCORD PLAYING WITH CELESTIA AND LUNA WHEN ALL THREE ARE LITTLE! And in S4 E25 I think… and at the end Discord gave Celestia a bunch of flowers and a wink! I am thinking what if Discord was Celestia's cousin and something stopped them to be cousins in the universe that they are in! It's making sense with that scratched out theories! Or what if Terek stopped them... This is the order before Terek came to action! In who was defeated!

Terek?
|---?-----|

|-----Sombra-----|

|-----Discord-----|

|-----Luna-----|

A thousand of years later Luna came first to fight! Then Discord came to fight and then Sombra? Is Terek the one after Sombra thousands of years ago?

|-----Luna-----|

|-----Discord-----|

|-----Sombra-----|

Terek?
|---?-----|

Celestia said in S4 E25 I think... Well I know for sure she said this.

"Long ago LORD Terek—
HOLD YOUR HOOVES LITTLE PONIES! LORD!? LORD!? Or did she say Lord Terek's brother? I dunno. But she said...

"Long ago... Lord Terek came to— Equestria I think she said... and he... JUST WATCH IT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN FROM shanmul12 I think he is... never mind!

Back to the defeats! So first thousands of years ago they defeated Terek, before Sombra? Surely not! But it makes sense! It's a pattern because thousands of years ago Terek got defeated first then Sombra then Discord then Luna. Because Twilight read after 1000 things later The Mare and The Moon will return! So its more predictable that Luna... or the Mare comes next to defeat! Then Discord because that video was before Sombra and Sombra was before Terek! So this pattern would continue!

TA DA! It took a really long time to do this so please enjoy this comment!

Discord is a joker he is full of chaos magic not harmony magic im nine years old the only theorhy i can think of is this

1. Pony is spesial a being in a equestria that is kinda a demigod and even ruler of equestria is a pony being

2. To have a cutie mark you have to relize your destiny and talent and a caracther that make you difrent and spesial

And zecora her tatto cutie mark thing is a zebra family thing zecora is full of knowlage of magic it ressembles her this is my theory

In zecora family the family has to know magic and if they sucseed the leader will give them a mark of the kind of magic they learn

Like if you aggre

zecora and discord are just cool like that

Sawtooth I think your wrong because I think it is the cutie Mark Henry Kora

I know y ur very smart about this because you have a good... Wait did I say good?! I mean GREAT imagination! Your Chanel is awesome

why Tirek got Twilight magic she doesn 't lost her cutie mark?

GASPS DOES THAT BROWN COLT THAT GETS HIS CUTIE MARK STOLEN HAVE MINECRAFT APPLES AS A CUTIE MART

Cough,cough....
Timberwolves
Cocka...Cocka...Trice?Cockatrice...yeah whatever
Parasprites
These things,er,living things,...are also magical!
I am not saying that you skipped these things, but I'm just saying these living things are magical too,
And that you might have not wanted to put these animals or living beings cuz it might make it too long

(Cough cough) star swerl the bearded

Its because the show is called MY LITTLE PONY

Maybe zecora just has tallint and she does know magic but she does not have a cutey mark because she's not a pony but she's a zebra and she got those trats for here perents or mabye she got it from the univers pony there there kind of like gods but not really that's what I think ☺

Ok I am watching from 2021 December asking how come trouble shoes (a horse) got a cutie mark...

Cam do this one? Why villans want take over every thing like
Every thing diffreat

That's not true zacora has a cutie mark

This vid blew my mind

also there is the story of the blanks

I think ponies have cutie marks because they just have cutie marks.. Just like how changelings can change cuz they can just change.

What? Zecora's Female?

discord is a magical creature

Discord doesn’t have a pony flank

and Zecora i think it IS just a tattoo

No zecora is a zebra and she cant have a cutie mark

Brony notion youre videos make my little pony episodes and clean

1:08 starswirl got trapped in limo

Yes and the I think Thea wore pony's

But the cmc have no cutie marks... And they're magic too, right?

Villains don't have their cutie marks. So could it be possible that there are certain types of ponies with a destiny of good? Because VILLAINS don't have a mark which means no destiny. But maybe the cutie mark is only for ponies (and ponies only) that are going to make Equestria a better place. Therefore only ponies with a good destiny have cutie marks.  Did I explain this right I get a feeling I didn't. Basically Villain don't have a cutie mark cause they don't have one because they don't do good with Equestria. 

discord doesn't have a cutie mark is because he's q just in the mlp world.

THEN WHAT ABOUT THE CHANGELINGS

Instead of the notion u should do the brotion

Also I not-east that all most all the the villeins have no cutie marks maybe sines discord was a villein he does not have a cutie mark

I think you ust have ti be an equine to have a cutie mark

zecora is the only zebra

Discord doesn't make sense! Der!!!! He wouldn't have a cutie mark because he is the creature of chaos! So technically, it would be logical if he didn't have one

Magic ROLL CREDITS

Because my little pony is just about pony so only the pony have cute mark

I have to disagree with your therory Brony notion... Because only ponies have cutie marks cuz were did everyone come from is the mane reson why! Its more likely that there was a sexual mix up betwen ponies... like a female peguas and a male unicorn by haveing a differnt sex make a new breed or race of ponies and be cuz the mix between the races would make a race of ponies that would NOT have a cutie mark cuz they are mixed race of ponies. And yes Zocora dose have a cutie mark but only that it dose dissagree with my first therory it will all make sence ( just not my spelling ) Zocora's cutie mark can not explain her destiny but who she is... See in many episodes you will see zocora useing magic... but not real fisical magic like twilight sparkle but Zocoras magic is like psyicec magic! And now to explain discord... You see discord is able to be reformed and if he is then hhis destyiny would be changed but so would his cutie mark ( If he had one )  But unlike the episode where the mane six have there cutie marks changed his would be changed permenetly.

discord uses a more dark magic

Zecora is a pony zebras are just striped pony's duh

Magic

My explanation of discord and cutie marks he don't have one cause he don't want one you know he is chaos after all

She is awesome same

maybe zacora is a ZEBRA

Plaes look into the forgotten sisters castles's pony of shadows and zecora relating

Discord has a cutie mark an he is par pony

it sounds like someone says hello in the background at 1:38

What about the changlings they have lots of magic

wait are you sure that Discord was Starswirl

I have been thinking about discord if you have herd of the song daddy discord he has a little girl who is a pony so that is confusing see if you get the point and shoot a video if you get the picture

zacora is a zebra she has a cutie mark this does not make sense
lol
lol
lol

i think zecorea is a pony

HEY DON'T FORGET THAT ZECORA THE "ZEBRA" HAS A CUTIE MARK The Brony Notion!

what about zecora's tattoo thimgy??

But arnt zebras like anseters of ponies?

Then what your cutie mark mean? please answer.

why do you have a lot of times a different voice

Zecora could be a native-American-pony-sorta thing. The zebra markings could be tribal tattoos. or the fact that she is from beyond equestria could mean the rules don't apply to her.

What about channgelings?

about discord: well he is a dragon of sorts and spikes a dragon so why doesn't spike have a cutie mark???....... i don't know about zeckora .    P.S. you should look into luna and celestia 

Not for me
Oh wait probably because you know what the others destiny are but not. For the ponies and zecora has a tattoo discord uhhh chaos

You do know zebras are horses

i thought it because the others are fury but i realized nothing idk

Nice Uno reference.

I understand !!!!!!!

Discord could've been star swirl because discord was born before star swirl and stat swirl died a thousand years before discord began to turn evil. If u dont be live me wahct ink roses Celestia luna discord and the founding of equestria (or something like that)

GREAT THEORY I HOPE THIS ONE DOES NOT GET DEBOCK LIKE HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

Zacora is a zebra

*coughs**silver quill**coughs*

what about twilight?

There is an very easy explaination... the story isn't well written!

the Athos are not magic

Perhaps Zecora has something similar to a cutie mark, because she is a creature that's very closely related to a horse? (Zebra)

But..Wait A Second How About Earthponys And Pegasus?,They Don't Have Magic

I like your mascot pony

zucora is a stalleon

Zecora is a pony

maybe zecora is a weird afracin pony

He i my theiory
Ponies only have cutie mark they have pure magic while zecora does not have a cutie mark beacuse it was only a tatoo and discord has chaos magic tirk bas all the magic IF tirek only got one pony magic the he could that pony cutie mark
And please ignor the spelling

Hey i have a idea what if Zecora is a pony but died her mane white or black WAIT a minute if shes a pony then her tail hmmmm look at it. it does make some since |:(

How do I explain discord?
He's discord.

0:29 I watched that episode of mlp lol

I think that all the other animals don't have cutie marks is because they were never branded i think that is why becuase I'm a I have an uncle who used to brand cows what if humans branded horses then later died but they never branded other animals because in season three I forget which episode they're were no other animals just ponys

A zebra is a horse

1:02 I herd that

Quit dirtying MLP with yo stinking logic!

So, question, how come we don't see Cadience or shining armor in the equestria girls?! AND WHERES DERPY!!!???

sorry for mumble - jumble spelling.

Sorry auto correction u meant zebras and ponies or so alike

dıscord ıs a draconcos maybe that why he does not have a cutıe mark
also he. ıs. not. STARSWIRL!

Hey u said only ponies have cutie marks but zecora is an zebra

zicara is princes salesta and lana's mom

zebras have cutimarks 

Discord:because he was star swirl the birded in his first body then he became a chaos lord I don't no about zecora

Zecora is a zebra

Discerned is a pony

at 1:47 or something u can here a cry or something

Talk bout luna and her black mark plz

When zacora first apper twilight ses that zacora is not a pony but a zebra

0:54 *cough cough dragons cough cough*

I believe I have worked out why not all creatures developed cutie marks even though they share many features. Have you ever heard of speciation, this is where a group of organisms are separated from each other and so evolved in different ways. For example, Zecora was said to be from a distant land. If long ago a creature was separated, maybe by the land splitting apart creating new areas separated by sea, the animal would evolve differently. This means that they may not be the same animal but still be the same species, explaining the difference between them.

Changlings have magic and they don’t have cutie marks




Try me

Watching 7 years later
