===Interactions with Equestria===
When [[{{IDW|Princess Luna]]}} of [[Equestria]] managed to open a portal to his world, Stygian didn't hesitate to kidnap her in a attempt to forcefully break her mind. She was soon saved by her sister and Starswirl, but the experience would continue to haunt her.<ref name = LOM1>{{C|LOM|1}}</ref> YearsSome time later, his [[Corrupted monsters|monster minions]] broke into the [[Castle of Two Sisters]] to kidnap the two princesses. Their [[Starswirl]] heroically defended the girls but he was ultimately defeated. The girls themselves put up a respectable fight but the monsters were to much for them and they were forcefully dragged into Stygian's world.
 
Starswirl survived the encounter, albeit barely, and was joined by his world's [[Stygian]], [[Rockhoof]], [[Somnambula]], [[Mistmane]], [[Flash Magnus]], and [[Mage Meadowbrook]]. They opened a portal to Stygian's world, and after splitting up engaged many of Stygian's minions. Stygian later attacked Flash before confronting Starswirl, whom he recognized as a counterpart of his old friend-turned-adversary. He attempted to destroy Starswirl, but was distracted when his own counterpart sent up a flare announcing that he had found [[{{IDW|Princess Celestia]]}} and Luna. Arriving quickly at the site where his minions were outfitting the unconscious princesses in armor, he found Rockhoof and the other Stygian and explained his plans for the girls.
 
Though saddened at the memory of his own Rockhoof's fate, Stygian was puzzled by the presence of his own counterpart, whom he failed to recognize. The other [[Pillars of Equestria]] then arrived, and a battle ensued, with the other Stygian rushing to save the princesses. The pair confronted each other, unleashing their magic against each other; surprisingly, Stygian found his powers checked and was thrown backwards. He ordered an [[ogre]] to grab the princesses, but was then shocked when it obeyed the other Stygian's command to toss them to Starswirl. Utterly flummoxed, Stygian demanded to know the name of his foe and vowed to find him, only to learn that he had been fighting another version of himself.
 
===Downfall===
Despite his defeat, Stygian became more determined than ever to corrupt a Celestia and Luna to join him in his dark conquests. As such, he approached Eris, seeking her help in locating them, but the goddess of luck refused to cooperate. Stygian responded by taking her prisoner, and spent the next few centuries drawing on her chaos magic as he continued his search. Eventually he succeeded in capturing and keeping a pair of princesses, whom he corrupted into [[Daybreaker]] and [[Nightmare Moon (alternateEris' dimension)|Nightmare Moon]]. However, as he trained the pair for their dark duties, Nightmare Moon failed to live up to his expectations.
 
Eventually, Nightmare Moon tired of her master's cruelty and attacked him, pleading with Daybreaker to join her in doing so. However, Daybreaker was more loyal to the Pony of Shadows, and struck down her sister for good. Wanting to insure that Daybreaker would not turn against him, Stygian approached Eris for help. She created a collar that limited Daybreaker's powers, but designed it so that she would be in control. Eris then had Daybreaker free her, and they attacked the Pony of Shadows together. With Stygian defeated, Eris was then free to step into his place as ruler of their world. She would later disguise herself as Stygian in order to lure Equestria's Luna back to her world and steal her powers.
