Description "I gave life to the foulest of creatures and allowed them to run wild, taking what they wanted and destroying the rest. My reign was a glorious, fear-soaked epoch of darkness in Equestria."

We all had a feeling Grogar was going to be an evil emperor, but I guess we never expected him to be the creator of the monsters that reek havoc in Equestria. So it seems that he's the Morgoth of MLP:FIM; for those who don't know who that is, he's the predecessor of Sauron from Lord of the Rings, and like Grogar, he's created fell creatures that terrorized Middle Earth. Grogar is supposed to be the most powerful villain in My Little Pony, and creating wicked monsters was one of his skills. Since fear is what fuels his powers, it makes sense for him to breed these terrible creatures and have them spread terror and misfortune upon the land that would become Equestria, and of course, he's so cruel and so evil. I can imagine that he used his Bewitching Bell to create them before Gusty the Great took it from him.

But what kind of monsters did the Emperor of All He Saw create? Here are some agreed guesses: Cockatrices, Chimeras, Bugbears, Hydras, and Tatzelwurms. I included them in naturally. However, I also brought in some more: the Sphinx who terrorized the Egyptian village that would be known as Somnambula, Ophiotauruses, and the Sirens. I even included the Windigoes. Even though they're more of magical spirits, I think they might make an addition to Grogar's list of monsters (even before the season 9 finale, when we all saw the trailer to it, we assumed that Grogar summoned them as they were his creations). At the last minute, I decided to include the Timberwolf and Cragadile into the mix too. 

And if you notice, there's a dragon amongst this rogues gallery of beasts. I thought dragons would be among Grogar's creatures for several reasons: 1, we saw what looked like a dragon when Grogar explained his history via palantir (crystal ball); 2, before Spike and the Mane 6 came along, dragons were pretty much greedy and destructive beasts, a trait that the villainous ibex gave them before friendship allowed them to break away from that. And 3, since dragons were bred by Morgoth in the LOTR universe, it would probably make sense that they would be created by Grogar in the world of MLP:FIM. And, since I like this idea, I'm going to use it in my fanfic version of the season 9 finale, and more... If I have time, I might make another plot twist that will rock your socks (unless you think this is the twist). There may even be others to join the list who've been befriended. We shall see...

I wish I could include more monsters, like Manticores and Maulwurfs. Unfortunately, I was unable to find vectors of them, and I don't really have the time to make vectors of them for now. Despite this setback, I think we can agree that those would most certainly join the list of Grogar's fearsome, fear-inspiring creatures. And if you want to, tell me if there are some others who might also be his creations.

As for Grogar, even though I figured out his magical aura, I had a hard time putting it in without having an error. Since his ears are right in front of his horns, and yet the base of his horns are in front of his ears, I struggled with this. Finally, I was able to find a way, but that will be discussed for another time.

Grogar: The Father of Monsters by me

Before the Mane 6 and their friends befriended and tamed most of these beasts, Equestria, before and after its founding, was terrorized by them and their evil master, may his name strike fear into the hearts of all, Emperor Grogar!

If Grogar were finally appear for real, then I would love Gusty the Great to reappear, as well. Maybe Grogar and she could have both frozen themselves in time, so to speak, and there might be a bit of an Austin Powers vibe. Starswirl might be revealed to have been Gusty’s most valuable apprentice.

Gusty's actually way older than Starswirl.

So The Tree of Harmony,Gusty and Grogar is more powerful than Lord Tirek,Starlight Glimmer and Discord because this three is more old than Celestia and Luna and same level to each other. I just think like this if Discord fight against Grogar, his power is unseless to Grogar but for Grogar that Discord just like a dust over the ocean.

Do you have a separte link to Grogar The Father of Monsters vectors? I would like to use it.

I will submit vectors of him, unpowered and powered up. However, I need to make more, especially since these are my last ones.

I actually wonder if, at some point in the ancient times, Grogar had also come to be known as the great Typhon, the greek father of monsters. I imagine that since FiM borrows from Greek and Roman mythology the most, Grogar might have also been given that name when the equivalent of the Titanomachy went down in his time. And the monsters he gave life to were some of his many fellow Titans.

SwiftgaiatheBrony In reply to kahnac [2019-12-02 03:40:36 +0000 UTC]

That's a pretty interesting idea that I may use in my fanfiction and art. Both Grogar and the Typhon are nicknamed the Father of monsters. Perhaps Typhon could be his true form?

Doesn't sound like a bad idea. Of course you'd have to come up with a design first, and i've already got mine........though admittedly, it makes him more eldritch than whatever the greek deities were.

minionsfanatic [2019-10-29 00:09:21 +0000 UTC]

I TOTALLY THOUGHT OF THAT TOO!
I believed that Grogar was gonna use the bell to create his own army of wild creatures and use them to attack Equestria.
It would have been amazing!

I don't even know how powerful is Grogar in the MLP:FiM until he can create monsters like Discord,Cosmos,Eris,Lord Tirek,Chrysalis,Rabia,The Pony of Shadow,Storm King,etc because if Rabia,Discord,Lord Tirek,Eris and Cosmos is so powerful then how powerful all of them's creator.

while Sphinx was show as a monster  in that MLP   episode so was Arazoldo originally and since on most mythology the sphinix was a guardian creature can't help but wonder if  the sphnix might of been one of the other guardians mention in Daing Doubt

AndoAnimalia In reply to LightReading2 [2019-10-28 11:35:11 +0000 UTC]

The MLP Sphinx's appearance was mostly based on the Greek Sphinx (wearing the Egyptian Sphinx's crown), and that riddle-speaking monster was the offspring of Typhon and Echidna, the "monstrous" (pardon the pun) parents of most of the monsters in Greek mythology. The idea that the MLP Sphinx is a creation of Grogar is inspired by the fact of the Greek version's "monstrous" (pardon the pun again) origin.

Oh man... this picture... 

This is a near-perfect way to show the might and intimidation of Grogar. Besides having the nickname "Emperor of All He Saw", this image shows the reason he is also called the "Father of Monsters". 

And I will definitely take some inspiration here for my fanfic! I'm still brainstorming, but this gives me a little idea on what
else Grogar could do in my epic story arc.

Tell me you agree that the finale episode would have been a lot more epic if Grogar didnt turn out to be Discord?

Dracorider19 In reply to SwiftgaiatheBrony [2019-10-28 03:16:11 +0000 UTC]

Well, I did not expect that twist to happen, but yeah, it probably would have been more epic if it was actually
Grogar himself.

Of course, I still am overall satisfied with the the finale as it was. Sure, it might be very disappointing
for many that Discord was disguised as Grogar and I knew it would be when I saw the reveal. But for me, that was just a minor issue. The rest of the finale was great for me to witness.

I tried my best. But thank you all the same, buddy.

Sweet! I wonder if in your fanfic, he'll recruit most of these creatures to build an army. I have something else in mind, and it's a real, albeit heartbreaking, twist.

SwiftgaiatheBrony In reply to AndoAnimalia [2019-10-28 01:35:21 +0000 UTC]

That what I was hoping to see in the finale. After retriving his belle he regains his powers and makes an army from the creatures from Tartarus and The everfree to help him Chrysalis, Tirek, And Cozy take over Equestria or maybe betrays them by stealing their magic with his belle and becoming so powerful with their magic he takes the form of a Typhon (The most dangerous and terrifying creature of Greek Mythology also nicknamed the father of monsters).
How does that sound?
