Parasprites are a small species of invasive, ravenous, bug-like creature that inhabit Equestria.
Anatomy[]
Parasprites are very small, about the same size as mice. Their bodies resembled colorful balls, with a set of insect-like wings, and two large rounded eyes. They come in a multitude of colors.
While appearing friendly, they are very ravenous and can multiply at a highly rapid rate, making them extremely pestful overtime.
History[]
Prior to the series, Ponyville had a previous infestation of Parasprites. during this infestation, Twilight Sparkle tried using magic so they will stop eating food, making them eat everything else instead. In the end, a group of these Parasprites were rounded up and rolled out of ponyville, ending up in Fillydelphia, as the rest were corralled by Pinkie Pie into Everfree Forest.
My Little Universe: Supernova[]
The same Parasprites from this event return as "Mutated Parasprites" - these versions bigger and more stubborn than the original Parasprites. A huge swarm of these parasprites swept across Equestria, wiping out many areas including Canter Creek, Ponyville, and Everfree Forest. These are the driving force that made the Ponyville residence leave Equestria altogether.
