This is a list of characters from the My Little Pony segments in the 1986–87 animated anthology series My Little Pony 'n Friends.
The first My Little Pony television series was preceded by two specials: My Little Pony (1984, incorporated into the series as "Escape from Midnight Castle") and Escape from Catrina (1985, retitled "Escape from Katrina" in the series). The popularity of the specials inspired the animated series. 65 episodes aired from September 15, 1986, to September 25, 1987. A feature-length movie, My Little Pony: The Movie, was released June 6, 1986, three months before the series premiered. In the series, characters typically alternated between starring roles and cameo appearances.
Major characters Megan Voiced by: Tammy Amerson (Rescue at Midnight Castle, Escape from Catrina, My Little Pony: The Movie), Bettina Bush (TV series) Megan Williams is an American teenage girl and the eldest of three children. She became the main character of the first My Little Pony series. She and her siblings live on a ranch where her family keeps a horse, TJ, and a bull. Gentle and motherly, but also mature and resourceful, she acts as the Little Ponies' leader, and in times of crisis they often fly across the rainbow to find her. She keeps the Rainbow of Light, a special locket which contains a powerful rainbow, to defeat anything that is evil threatening the ponies.
Note: Although Megan's surname (Williams) and age (thirteen) appear in the writer's guide for My Little Pony 'n Friends, they have never been mentioned in the series itself.
Danny Voiced by: Scott Menville Danny Williams is Megan's younger brother and the second oldest of the three children. He is a rambunctious redhead, who is sometimes fond of jokes although he doesn't usually do them to hurt someone's feelings. Danny sometimes feuds with his little sister Molly, and he is sometimes found leading the charge when a situation calls for reckless action.
Molly Voiced by: Keri Houlihan Molly Williams is Megan and Danny's younger sister and the youngest of the three children. Molly can be often scared around monsters and ghosts, but never too scared to fight with Danny. She is very caring, especially towards Baby Ponies.
Spike Voiced by: Charlie Adler Spike is a baby dragon with purple and green scales who is adopted by Megan and the ponies after they defeated Tirek. He has a sarcastic streak but is very supportive to the ponies and the three children.
Minor characters The Moochick Voiced by: Tony Randall The Moochick is a wise but eccentric gnome. He is very knowledgeable and provides answers to more unusual problems; when he's able to remember them. He lives in a secluded place in Dream Valley with his assistant Habbit the rabbit and is shown to have temporary amnesia.
The Bushwoolies Voiced by: Alice Playten, Sheryl Bernstein, Susan Blu, Nancy Cartwright, Russi Taylor, Charlie Adler, Frank Welker The Bushwoolies are a group of adorable, colourful furry creatures. They seem incapable of independent thought, thinking, speaking and acting as a group. They rarely even use their individual names, which include Chumster, Hugster and Wishful.
The Fur-bobs Voiced by: Unknown The Fur-bobs are the cousins to the Bushwoolies, and similar in character save for one noticeable difference: Fur-bobs always disagree with each other on any and every given opportunity, even if the disagreement makes no logical sense. They also tend to walk on four legs instead of two (though they're capable of walking/running either way) and possess a deep-seated fear and hatred of the Stonebacks, to the extent that the Fur-bobs constantly relocate their home territory ("Furbobbia") just to avoid being around them.
The Stonebacks Voiced by: Unknown The Stonebacks are Giant armadillo-like creatures feared and hated by the Fur-bobs. Megan discovers that the Stonebacks, who lack the ability to speak and can only snort and grunt, only want to befriend the Furbobs, but have no way of communicating it.
The Grundle King Voiced by: Danny DeVito The Grundle King is the leader of the Grundles. He seems to be rather ugly but sweet, sometimes speaks in rhymes, and is not very smart, but has a kind heart. He and the rest of the Grundles used to live in Grundleland before Hydia smoozed it and now reside in the remains of Dream Castle.
The Grundles Voiced by: Susan Blu, Peter Cullen, Frank Welker, and Michael Bell The Grundles are a small race of goblin-like creatures led by the Grundle King. They used to live in Grundleland before Hydia smoozed it and now reside in the remains of Dream Castle. They may look like monsters, but they are friendly.
The Ponies
