'''Scorpan''' is onethe leader of [[Tirek (My Little Pony){{MLP|TirekTirac}}'s]] highest generalsforces, in fact, he was his only soldier with a name or unique design. He may look scary, but he actually likes hugs and cuddling. He has a good heart and gentle personality underneath his monstrous exterior, with a lighthearted sense of humor to boot.
==History==
Scorpan was actually a human [[prince]] who at one point befriended the kind dragon [[Spike (My Little Pony)|Spike]]. At another unspecified point, he was transmuted into a hideous rat-like creature, presumably by the [[Tirek (My Little Pony){{MLP|Tirek]]Tirac}} using the power of the [[Rainbow of Darkness]]. Scorpan acted as the commander of TirekTirac's army, commanding an [[TirekTirac's dragons|army of dragons]] to invade [[Dream Castle]] in order to kidnap the ponies. He only managed to nab three of the four ponies TirekTirac requested him to do so. What would happen if he recievedreceived all four is unknown, but it could be assumed that TirekTirac promised to turn him back into a human if he did.
When he failed, TirekTirac threatened to decapitate Spike if he could not get a fourth pony back to [[Midnight Castle]] by [[midnight]]. Upon hearing this threat, Scorpan gave up trying to please TirekTirac and instead broke the ponies free from his captivity. With his help, the ponies were capable of defeating TirekTirac and overpowering the Rainbow of Darkness with their own [[Rainbow of Light]]. After the effects of the darkness subsisted, Scorpan was reverted into his normal form as a human. There, he shared a hearty laugh with his new found pony friends.
==Notes==
* Along with TirekTirac, Scorpan is among the most famous characters in the entire generation 1 canon, due to his frightening appearance and sympathetic role in the series.
* Although his appearance as a rat-like man was only a transmutation effect, it would spawn an entire race of [[Gargoyle]]s in the ''Friendship is Magic'' canon.
* Likewise, the ''Friendship is Magic'' Scorpan was born as Gargoyle instead. Additionally, that version of Scorpan was TirekTirac's younger brother and loved him dearly, while this Scorpan hated TirekTirac.
