Scorpan is a human prince who appears in Rescue at Midnight Castle. Scorpan was once a human prince before Tirac destroyed his kingdom and corrupted him using the Rainbow of Darkness, turning him into his monstrous form. He unwillingly helps Tirac kidnap ponies because Tirac threatens to harm Spike if Scorpan does not comply. Despite his seemingly-evil appearance, he shows sympathy to the ponies who were being turned into evil dragons, and ultimately attempts to help them. During the finale of the special, he was turned back into his human form.
Trivia[]
- Scorpan is mentioned in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic as Tirek's brother. Much like the G1 version, Scorpan comes to appreciate the friendship of the ponies and warned them of Tirek's invasion. He did not appear physically in the series, but:
- He appears in illustrations in Twilight's Kingdom - Part 1, and was at one point going to appear in a prologue of My Little Pony The Movie as the original owner of the Storm King's Staff of Sacanas.
- He was mentioned in Twilight's Kingdom - Part 2, the 2018 Christmas special My Little Pony Best Gift Ever and A Trivial Pursuit.
- He appears in both FIENDship is Magic#2 and Nightmare Knights #1.
- An alternate version of G1 Scorpan appears in a chapter of My Little Pony: The Manga - A Day in the Life of Equestria Vol. 3. His role is similar to the original, but with Twilight Sparkle replacing Megan and her counterpart from the special as the main protagonist
