"I'm really...not myself when I'm hungry. Ha ha..."

Note( MLP spoilers): I'm disregarding the season 6 finale entirely in the pandoraverse. The Pandoraverse is an AU to the show and doesn't follow show canon 100%. Again, the events of the season 6 show finale will not affect the pandoraverse characters and story.

Changelings are hungry nearly all of the time, but the political marriage between Princess Celestia and Chrysalis years ago ultimately allowed changelings to integrate into pony society and obtain love through friendships, not by deceit and disguises. Now changelings rarely go hungry...but even if they do, they have biological adaptations in place to aid survival. They can survive on stores of energy, and ultimately burrow and go into a dormant state if food is unavailable. No biggie, changelings are a hardy species.

Princess Iridescence, however, is a high-ranking changeling, pretty much on level with a queen. Queens experience hunger much more intensely than drone changelings. It's a survival mechanism. When a queen gets too hungry, or all resources for love have been run dry, she will enter a frenzied, feral state, madly seeking out victims to ensure the survival of herself and her hive, by any means necessary. In this state, a queen may drain a victim to a withered husk, and savage the body to pieces (at least according to old pony wives' tales).

Iridescence doesn't really have a hive beyond a small team of changeling royal guards, but she's subject to the feral instinct like any other queen (yes, this includes Chrysalis). If Iridescence gets too love-starved, she'll turn into a vampire bug monster and attempt to violently leech the love out of the first pony she sees.

Fortunately, Irie has only ever gone into this state and attacked someone exactly once, and Celestia was able to cover up the incident. Iridescence attacked her cousin Artemis in the dead of the night-and she savagely bit her cousin's throat before Artemis was able to kick her off. The royal family was eventually able to capture and feed Irie....but now she and Arte kinda have some trust issues between them, whoops

All changelings have retractable mandibles. They're powerful and sharp. Irie's pop out when she's hungry, excited, or angry. Fun fact: Changelings have a secret language they speak by clicking and chittering with their mandibles

been drawing artemis so much, decided to explore more of iridescence
