First of all, Zeb was one of the two only [[Zebra]] characters to ever appear in [[Generation 1]], the other being [[Zig Zag]], who only appeared in merchandise, though it's unclear who came first as both the toyline featuring Zig Zag, ''[[Pony Friends]]'', and the episode Zeb appeared in, both came out around the same time.
