The My Little Pony franchise debuted in 1982, as the creation of American illustrator and designer Bonnie Zacherle. Together with sculptor Charles Muenchinger and manager Steve D'Aguanno, Zacherle submitted a design patent in August 1981 for "an ornamental design for a toy animal". She was then working for Hasbro. The patent was granted in August 1983.

Pegasus ponies Pegasus ponies all have wings, and demonstrate great speed both in the air and on foot. Some are described to be graceful. They are seen manipulating the weather in several occasions such as moving clouds to either cause a storm or clear the skies. They are known to live in a magical island known as Butterfly Island in Generation 3 and in city of clouds, known as Cloudsdale, in Generation 4.
