These villains appear in the My Little Pony series. The original show (despite being infamous for its girly nature) had some rather dark and menacing villains, such as Tirek, Lavan, and Grogar (and Tirek and Lavan were killed, thus making My Little Pony's first generation one of the very few TV cartoons in the 1980s to kill characters off). This stayed the same for the most part in the newer "Friendship is Magic" canon, with villains like Nightmare Moon, Discord, the Changelings, and King Sombra.

| Nightmare Moon | Alicorn | Female | Black | Blue | Aqua | Friendship is Magic Part 1 and Part 2 | Tabitha St. Germain | |||||
| Nightmare Moon is the corrupted form of Princess Luna. Over time of raising and setting to moon, Luna became convinced that while the ponies all loved her sister Celestia’s day, they sleep through her night and ignore her. Jealous of her sister, she caused a solar eclipse which transformed her into Nightmare Moon. Celestia then reluctantly harnessed the power of the Elements of Harmony and banished her to the moon, taking responsibility for both sun and moon and maintaining harmony in Equestria. However, Nightmare Moon returned a thousand years later and attempted to take over Equestria. Twilight Sparkle and her new friends manage to defeat Nightmare Moon by finding and using the Elements of Harmony, with each of them representing a different element. After being restored to her original form and sharing a tearful reunion with Celestia, Luna returns to ruling alongside her once more.
In the official IDW comic series, Nightmare Moon is revealed to be a symbiotic force that convinced Luna to turn against her sister all those years ago, feeding off of her insecurities in order to take control of her mind and body. She is also revealed to be capable of corrupting other beings into serving her, which she did so with the Nyx, creatures who inhabit the moon and create dreams for ponies. After Luna was freed by the Elements of Harmony, Nightmare Moon survived and hatched a plot to take control of one of the Element bearers, rendering the other Elements of Harmony useless against her. She ultimately ends up possessing Rarity when the Nightmare Forces convince her that her friends will eventually abandon her. Dubbed Nightmare Rarity, she leads an assault on Ponyville, but is ultimately defeated when the other Element bearers use memories of Rarity to free her from Nightmare Moon's control, with some added help from Celestia and Luna. Her status after Rarity was freed is unknown. | ||||||||||||

| According to Princess Celestia, Discord is the ancient spirit of chaos who, before the reign of Celestia and Luna, ruled the land of Equestria, making the lives of unicorns, pegasi, and earth ponies miserable. In a battle over 1000 years ago, before Nightmare Moon was banished to the moon, the sisters wielded the Elements of Harmony and turned Discord into a stone statue. This statue would be put on display in the gardens around the royal palace, until the inharmonious aura caused by the quarrels of the Cutie Mark Crusaders gave him enough strength to break free of his prison. He lures the Mane 6 into a maze and is able to make them abandon the qualities that make them bearers of the Elements. The result ends pitting them against one another, rendering the Elements of Harmony useless. However, despite his efforts, Twilight manages to restore all of her friend's true elements and they face Discord using the Elements of Harmony, defeating him by sealing him back to his original stone form, albeit this time with a look of horror frozen on his face.
He reappears in season three's "Keep Calm and Flutter On" when Celestia gives the girls the task to reform Discord. Fluttershy is able to do so, becoming his first friend and showing him how important friendship is to him. In the two-part season four premiere episode, "Princess Twilight Sparkle", Discord is revealed to have planted powerful plants known as Plunderseeds in an attempt to destroy the Tree of Harmony, from which the Elements originated. After the Mane 6 destroy them by returning the Elements to the tree, Discord admits that he didn't tell this to Twilight because he wanted her to learn that even though she is now an alicorn princess, her friendship with the others will not change. Later in "Three's A Crowd", he tests Twilight to see if she really cares for him by tricking her and Princess Cadance into finding a plant that will cure him of a disease he made up. In the Season four finale, "Twilight's Kingdom" Discord is tasked by Celestia with finding and capturing the recently released Tirek. However, Tirek tricks him into betraying his pony friends, even giving him a necklace as a token of gratitude and loyalty. After he captures the non-princess ponies for Tirek, he double-crosses Discord by stealing his powers and admits that the necklace has no meaning to him, for it was given to him by his traitorous brother, Scorpan. After a long fight between Twilight and Tirek that results in a draw, Tirek trades all of Twilight's Alicorn Power for her friends and Discord. Discord admits that he now understands the true meaning of friendship and gives Twilight the necklace. The necklace turns out to be the sixth and final key needed to access the chest at the Tree of Harmony. The Mane 6 take it as Tirek starts going on a mindless rampage and they use the newly unlocked Rainbow Power to transport Tirek back to his imprisonment and save Equestria. Discord appears in later episodes as a reluctant ally of the Mane Six, occasionally causing mischief while struggling to become a better friend to them. | ||||||||||||
| Queen Chrysalis | Changeling | Female | Black | Teal | Teal | A Canterlot Wedding Part 1 and Part 2 and To Where and Back Again Part 1 and Part 2 | Kathleen Barr | |||||
| Queen Chrysalis is the queen of the Changelings. She takes the form of Princess Cadance so that she could feed off of Shining Armor’s love, whom she plans to keep for herself so she and her Changeling subjects have a constant food supply and power. With that, they can conquer Canterlot and assume control over Equestria. Twilight Sparkle had seen all the signs throughout the organizing of the wedding, but she was dismissed as being too possessive of her brother. To prevent Twilight's further interference, and the threat of the Elements of Harmony being used against her, Chrysalis forcibly teleports Twilight to the forgotten diamond caves under Canterlot. However, the Queen makes a disastrous error taunting Twilight in an attempt to anger her to the point where she would kill the true Princess Cadance, who is also being held in the mines by mistake. Instead, the prisoners recognized each other and escaped the mines to expose the Queen at the wedding ceremony. Even though Chrysalis had gained enough power to enable to her species to invade Canterlot while she personally struck down Princess Celestia, she had not counted on Twilight enabling Cadance to free her fiancé and using their combined power to cast out the Changelings from Equestria.
In the Season Six two-part finale episode, "To Where and Back Again," as an act of revenge against Twilight, whom she holds responsible for her defeat, she launches a mass invasion on all of Equestria, replacing the Mane 6, Spike, the Princesses, Shining Armor, and Flurry Heart with Changelings. However, she is ultimately defeated and dethroned as the Changeling's ruler by Thorax, a benevolent Changeling who, along with Starlight Glimmer, convinces the Changelings in her hive to share love rather than steal it. Starlight offers Chrysalis redemption, but she coldly refuses it and flees, vowing revenge on Starlight. So now she has two ponies to seek revenge against: Twilight and Starlight. In the official IDW comic series, Chrysalis is a recurring villain who again seeks revenge on Twilight for defeating her. | ||||||||||||
| King Sombra | Unicorn | Male | Grey | Black | Scarlet and green | The Crystal Empire Part 1 and Part 2 | "Big" Jim Miller | |||||
| King Sombra is a unicorn described by Princess Celestia as having "a heart as black as night". Prior to Nightmare Moon's banishment, he took over the Crystal Empire and enslaved the native Crystal Ponies before being overthrown by the Royal Sisters, who imprisoned him in the Frozen North just beyond the Empire. However, Sombra managed to curse the Empire, causing it to disappear upon his defeat. One thousand years later, he and the Crystal Empire returned and Twilight Sparkle and Spike search for the Crystal Heart, the only thing capable of defeating him. Due to a trap at the top of the Crystal Castle, Sombra managed to capture Twilight, but Spike was able to take the Crystal Heart to Cadance. Cadance flies Spike and the Crystal Heart down to the Crystal Ponies, who are able to power up the heart and defeat Sombra with a blast of light which causes him to shatter into several pieces.
In the official IDW comic series, Sombra was revealed to be a shadow pony (or umbrum), created to free an army of shadow ponies imprisoned below the Crystal Empire. Born with no knowledge of his true purpose, Sombra was taken in by the Crystal Ponies, but was ridiculed by his classmates for his strangeness. The only friend he had among them was a fellow unicorn named Radiant Hope, who gained powerful healing magic as she got older. Fearing that Hope would abandon him upon learning that she was invited to study under Celestia and Luna, Sombra ran off into the Frozen North in fear and discovered a sentient, red crystal claiming to be his mother. Learning of his true heritage and mission (to destroy the Crystal Heart), Sombra enslaved the Empire after turning its original ruler, Princess Amore, into a black, crystal statue that he broke into several pieces and scattered around the world. Radiant Hope informed the Royal Sisters of what had happened, sealing Sombra's fate. In the present day, Sombra is revealed to have survived his defeat and Radiant Hope leads an attack on the Crystal Empire during which she restores Sombra to his physical form. He quickly manages to defeat the Mane 6 after rallying Queen Chrysalis, the Changelings, Iron Will, the Flim-Flam Brothers, and Lightning Dust under him. Celestia and Luna try to stop him, but interference from Hope allows Sombra to turn them both to stone. He then retires to his private study to rest. Meanwhile, Hope takes Cadence to the umbrum's home where they learn of the umbrum's true nature and are forced to escape, ending up in Sombra's study, where the Mane 6, Spike, and Shining Armor arrive after being freed from imprisonment. After Hope takes a blast from Twilight meant for him, Sombra unleashes the umbrum on the assembled ponies. Sombra successfully retakes the empire, but Hope resents him for his decisions and informs him that she gave up her future as a princess to try and save him from his fate. When the Mane 6 return to the Empire with reinforcements to free Twilight, Shining, and the other princesses, Sombra has a change of heart and uses the Crystal Heart to banish the umbrum back to their prison. As Sombra is about to be killed by the Crystal Heart's energies, Hope uses her magic to hold his physical form together and the princesses turn him into a real unicorn as a sign of forgiveness. Sombra and Hope then leave to find the pieces of Princess Amore's statue and eventually restore her. | ||||||||||||

However, when Twilight Sparkle is able to become the princess of the Fall Formal, Sunset Shimmer kidnaps Spike and wants to have Twilight’s crown in exchange for the portal back to Equestria. Twilight denies the offer which sparks a fight. Sunset Shimmer is able to get Twilight’s crown and transforms herself into a powerful demonic creature. However, Twilight is able to evoke the powers of the Elements of Harmony when her friends move to protect her from Sunset Shimmer's attack.

| The Dazzlings are a trio of sirens who wreaked havoc across Equestria more than one thousand years ago by using their hypnotic songs to feed off of the aggression generated by their victims. Star Swirl the Bearded was able to defeat them by sending them to the human world, but they were able to retain their magic through their pendants. In Rainbow Rocks, they persuade most of the Canterlot High student body to turn a musical showcase into a Battle of the Bands. By the end of the film, Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer, and the human counterparts of the rest of the Mane 6 and DJ PON-3 are able to defeat them, shattering their pendants and rendering them tone deaf, and they are promptly booed off the stage.
Adagio Dazzle is the Dazzling's leader, who is characterized as being cruel, sadistic, cunning, and manipulative. Aria Blaze speaks in a deadpan tone and always offers sarcasm to her fellow Sirens.

Afterwards, the townsfolk and Mane 6 reclaim their Cutie Marks and Starlight disappears. She believes the only way to achieve true friendship is for everyone to be equal, believing that having individual talents will lead to others bragging that they are better than others. In "The Cutie Re-Mark", it is revealed that her beliefs stem from being abandoned by her childhood friend Sunburst after he received his cutie mark. Perfecting a spell originally created by Star Swirl the Bearded himself, she travels back in time to stop Rainbow Dash from performing the Sonic Rainboom, causing several dark, alternate futures for Equestria every time Twilight and Spike attempt to stop her.

However, the Mane 7 are able to expose her and Canter bans her from the studio, though he does forgive her.
In "Mirror Magic", Canter gets Juniper a job as a movie usher at the Canterlot Mall out of pity. She soon comes across a mirror enchanted with Equestrian magic and sees herself as a famous movie star.

She later takes her revenge on the Mane 7 by trapping them in the mirror and absorbing their magic in the process, transforming her into a monstrous version of how she saw herself in the mirror initially. In her monstrous state, Juniper sees everyone running from her as her adoring public. Starlight Glimmer, who was visiting in the human world at the time, is able to stop Juniper by offering her friendship instead of fame, and Juniper undoes all the damage she caused with the mirror and is restored to her original form.
