Spike's mother: Difference between revisions

One of the many theories regarding Spike's upbringing was the possibility he may have been abandoned as a baby for one or many reasons. Common ideas include that the parents somehow deduced Spike was soft-hearted and physically weak before his hatching. Given that [[Smolder]] spoke fondly of her [[Smolder's brotherGarble|brother]] and parents, it may be that Dragon's do have strong family values, but of course, this may vary on the individual.

A more obscure theory posits that Spike may have simply been born several hundred or even thousand years ago. The theory tends to go that since Dragon's are a long-lived race, it's possible that unless their eggs are hatched, their primordial forms may simply last for just as long. Components of the theory also state how coincidental it is that [[School for Gifted Unicorns|P.C.S.F.G.U.]] just so happened to have a ripe dragon egg.

Not so much a theory, but a plot point in a small handful of fanfiction'sfan fictions imply that Spike's egg was sold by apathetic parents who didn't care for him.
