Line 12:
A cute little [[White Bunny]], Angel Bunny is Fluttershy's main animal companion. Not only does Angel help Fluttershy with tasks but he also makes attempts to bring the Pegasus out of her shell. Although adorable, Angel can be quite direct when interacting with others and if he doesn't like you, he '''will''' let you know as Spike soon discovers when given the task of looking after him.
* [[Ambiguous Gender]]: Throughout the entire first season, his gender was never stated on the show and [[Dummied Out]] text from ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20131027194050/http://www.hubworld.com/my-little-pony/shows/friendship-is-magic/games/mlp-adventures-in-ponyville Adventures in Ponyville]'' even called him female. However in the second season episode "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2/E02 The Return of Harmony Part 2|The Return of Harmony Part 2]]", Fluttershy says "good boy" to him which confirms that he's male.
* [[Beleaguered Assistant]]: A more benign example. It must be just a '''little''' bit frustrating having to deal with [[Shrinking Violet|someone]] [[Fragile Flower|like]] [[Hikikomori|Fluttershy]].
* [[Berserk Button]]: Do '''not''' presume to tell Angel [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2/E19 Putting Your Hoof Down|what to eat]] or [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1/E07 Dragon Shy|how to eat it]].
Line 49:
** Since Spike is a dragon and dragons seem to be capable of eating meat as seen in "Owl's Well That Ends Well", it could be explained as an example of the typical animosity between a herbivore and a carnivore.
** It doubles as an inside joke to ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Buffy]]'' fans.
* [[Species Surname]]: First revealed in [[Dummied Out]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20130808041755/http://www.hubworld.com/hubworld/flash/games/GAME_A_MLPHUB/assetsuitcase/strings.xml text] from ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20131027194050/http://www.hubworld.com/my-little-pony/shows/friendship-is-magic/games/mlp-adventures-in-ponyville Adventures in Ponyville]'', and later used by Fluttershy in the episodes "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1/E07 Dragon Shy|Dragonshy]]" and "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2/E19 Putting Your Hoof Down|Putting Your Hoof Down]]".
* [[Spoiled Brat]]: Comes across this way in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1/E07 Dragon Shy|Dragonshy]]" when he throws a temper tantrum over Fluttershy ''gently urging him to eat slower'', or in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2/E12 Baby Cakes|Baby Cakes]]" where she can't babysit for the Cakes because ''he'' wants a picnic.
** Taken to a vile level in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2/E19 Putting Your Hoof Down|Putting Your Hoof Down]]" when he places ''unreasonable'' demands on how he wants his salad, and actually ''slaps Fluttershy'' when he doesn't get his way. He should be renamed to "Demon".
Line 154:
** [[Shown Their Work]]: When she's revived as a healthy phoenix, take a look at her beak. If you know anything about birds, it suddenly makes perfect sense that she'd hork up the seed she was given; that's pretty obviously a raptor's beak. To put it another way, Philomeena's a carnivore.
* [[The Prankster]]
* [[Shout-Out]]: [[Harry Potter and
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: "Philomeena" has been used by Hasbro [http://www.hasbro.com/common/assets/Image/Printables/dad2af6e1c4311ddbd0b0800200c9a66/92279E335056900B100D5E9629DAE390/922929405056900B10E9B4BF373949BE.pdf here], [http://www.facebook.com/questions/389107571106686/ here], and [https://twitter.com/MyLittlePony/status/210057194656366592 here], while "Philemena" has been used in a storyboard for "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1/E22 A Bird in the Hoof|A Bird in the Hoof]]". "Philomena" [[Word of God|may]] or [[God Never Said That|may not]] have been used by [[Lauren Faust]].
* [[Toothy Bird]]
Line 180:
* [[Punny Name]]: Aloysius combined with the word "owl".
* [[She's a Man In Japan]]: In the Polish dub, he's referred to as female (perhaps because in Polish "owl" is a noun with a female gender).
* [[Shout-Out]]: [[Harry Potter and
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: "Owloysius" seems to be the official spelling (it's been used by Hasbro in the description and tags of a [[YouTube]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QT78EON7JS4 clip] from "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1/E24 Owl's Well That Ends Well|Owl's Well That Ends Well]]" as well as in a [[Facebook]] [http://www.facebook.com/questions/389107571106686/ question]), but [[Word of God]] [http://twitter.com/#!/goldenrusset/status/136321997989883905 says] [http://comments.deviantart.com/4/1603670/1970957061 that] it was "Owlowiscious" (with [[Lauren Faust]] saying that "it probably should have been Owloysius")--additionally, "Owlicious" has been used by [[The Merch|WeLoveFine]] in some of the descriptions and tags of their ''Ponies with Pets'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20120114012603/http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=1512 art print], [http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=1513 T]{{Dead link}}-[http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=1514 shirt]{{Dead link}} [http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=2425 and]{{Dead link}} [http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=1560 bag]{{Dead link}}.
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: For the [[God-Created Canon Foreigner|toy-exclusive]] owl who accompanies the basic ''[http://www.hasbro.com/mylittlepony/en_US/shop/details.cfm?guid=BDA45DB1-5056-900B-10B8-E3AD944DE446 Twilight Sparkle]'' toy.
* [[Who's on First?]]: Due to the fact he can only say "Hoo", Spike tends to interpret it as "Who", leading to these types of conversations. Twilight also falls for it at the end of the episode.
Line 211:
* [[Super Strength]]: Like we said, able to lift a boulder.
** And carry Rainbow Dash all by himself.
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: For the [[God-Created Canon Foreigner|toy-exclusive]] turtle who accompanies the ''[http://www.hasbro.com/mylittlepony/en_US/shop/details.cfm?guid=7556E7C3-5056-900B-1045-4A51D6ACBEC0 Riding Along with Rainbow Dash]'' toy. [[Word of God]] [http://comments.deviantart.com/4/1603670/2286445078 says] that "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2/E07 May the Best Pet Win|May The Best Pet Win!]]" was conceived and written almost a year before it aired, and the turtle toy was [https://web.archive.org/web/20150101100734/http://www.mylittleponynews.com/2011/02/toyfair-2011.html first revealed] at around the same time, so there may or may not be a connection here.
* [[Those Magnificent Flying Machines]]: After Rainbow Dash realizes tortoises can't fly, Tank's outfitted with a helicopter-like device to allow him to keep up with her.
* [[Turtle Power]]: [[Running Gag|Tortoise to be precise]] but powerful all the same.
* [[Undying Loyalty]]: To Rainbow Dash, which is why she chose Tank to be her pet.
* [[You All Look Familiar]]: In ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130724200128/http://www.hubworld.com/my-little-pony/shows/friendship-is-magic/games/mlpfim-rainboom-game Rainbow Dash's Rainboom Game]'', more than one of him may appear at the same time.
Line 257:
* [[You Don't Look Like You]]: In the toys and their art, the bow-wearing bunny from "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1/E07 Dragon Shy|Dragonshy]]" looks less like Angel Bunny than in the show.
