==History==
[[File:FIM2_Gateway.jpg|thumb|300px|[[Ziggy Stardust gateway|Ziggy Stardust]], a possible ancient Diamond Dog settlement]]
The Diamond Dogs have an ancient history, though as with many of the races of the world of Equestria their exact [[The Origin of the Diamond Dogs|origins]] are unknown. They were very intelligent creatures and lived in complex societies, the most ancient of which may be the kingdom of [[Caninia]]. The [[Tree of Family]] came into being in this land, and it was visited by the ancient [[Knights of Harmony]]. These powerful figures built a temple around the tree, which they would later bury after Caninia was manipulated by {{FIM|Discord}} into attacking [[Cunabula]] in league with [[Abyssinia]] and [[Farasi]].<ref name = "A21">[[My Little Pony Annual 2021 (IDW)]]</ref><ref>{{C|FIM|100}}</ref><ref>{{C|FIM|101}}</ref><ref name = "FIM102">{{C|FIM|102}}</ref>
Much of the history of the creatures have never been uncovered. They were very intelligent creatures and lived in complex societies, such as [[Never Look Back, Walk Tall, Act Fine]]<ref name = "FIM2">{{C|FIM|2|''The Return of Queen Chrysalis'' - Part 2}}</ref> and [[Diamondia]]<ref name = "FF6">{{C|FF|6|''Trixie and Rainbow Dash''}}</ref> respectively, both of which appeared to be capitals for different, unknown realms. These two realms had much different cultures and backgrounds, with the latter being ruled by a [[Master (title)|Master]] and the other, a [[Queen]]. Inhabitants of Diamondia, retroactively referred to as the [[Curs]], were kicked out of the kingdom and founded a settlement in the [[Diamond Cave]] near [[Ponyville]] and were the ones responsible for kidnapping {{FIM|Rarity}} and forcing her to work for them, uncovering gems until she managed to annoy them to the point of escaping.<ref name = "FF6"/><ref name = "AAPS">{{CAR|FIM|A Dog and Pony Show}}</ref> These Diamond Dogs would apparently become quite infamous and a book involving them was written entitled ''[[Villains, Monsters and Ne'er-Do-Wells]]''.<ref>{{C|FIM|25}} {{CN|Cover A}}</ref>▼

During the [[Convocation of the Creatures (event)|Convocation of the Creatures]], a Diamond Dog [[Master]] appeared as a world leader though his haughty personality seemed to make him unpopular among the other leaders, notably {{FIM|Princess Celestia}} and the [[Abyssinian King]].<ref>{{C|FIM|61}}</ref> Sometime later, an embassy from Equestria traveled to Caninia to open relations between the two countries, only to find the kingdom divided between two factions in the [[Caninian royal family]]. Fortunately, they were able to not only help the two sides reconcile, but also uncover the Tree of Family and its [[Elements of Harmony]], restoring their magic to the Diamond Dogs.<ref name = "A21"/> The inhabitants of Caninia would later repay this kindness by joining an alliance against the Knights of Harmony when they attacked [[Canterlot]].<ref name = "FIM102"/>

==Known Diamond Dogs==
Line 58 ⟶ 60:
The Diamond Dogs only had a few appearances throughout ''Friendship is Magic''. In the cartoon, they appeared as the main villains in the episode "[[A Dog and Pony Show]]" where they kidnapped Rarity and used her to mine gems for them.
They had more appearances in the comics. An abandoned Diamond Dog city was explored in {{C|FIM|2|''The Return of Queen Chrysalis'' - Part 2}} that was now populated with giant spiders and trolls, a possible reference to [[Tolkien]] in how the Mines of Moria were overrun with orcs and other foul creatures. Later, in {{C|FF|6|''Trixie and Rainbow Dash''}} it was revealed that
Another Diamond Dog state, [[Caninia]], would be featured in [[My Little Pony: Season 10]], with [[My Little Pony Annual 2021 (IDW)|the 2021 Annual]] focusing on its introduction. Additional information about Caninia and its history would be revealed in {{C|FIM|100}} and "[[The Knights of Harmony]]", the season's finale.
