Flutter Ponies

Flutter Ponies are fairy-like ponies with translucent wings and dainty frames. They have small symbols on their faces as well as the larger ones on their flanks, though a lot of media doesn't bother to depict the smaller ones.

Like in most G1 backcard stories, Flutter Ponies can do a wide variety of magic, often plant or nature-based. They do much of their magic with their wings.

In My Little Pony 'n Friends their powers are more limited. They live in Flutter Valley and are led by Queen Rosedust, and they tend to be shy and slow to trust. They have the ability to shift into "utter flutter", flapping their wings to create a magic breeze capable of repelling dangerous foes.

While Flutter Ponies haven't appeared since G1, a leaked development document for the G5 show Make Your Mark reveals that Flutter Ponies were planned to appear had the show gone on longer. While details could have changed had they actually been introduced, the document describes them as having butterfly wings and living in a place called Flutter Grotto.
