Summary
Long before the show's events, Grogar was a treacherous tyrant who took over the land of Equestria, until he was stopped by Gusty the Great, who rid him of his most prominent magic by stripping his bell away from him, banishing him elsewhere.
During season 9 of the show, Discord impersonated Grogar, and gathered Lord Tirek, Queen Chrysalis, Cozy Glow, and King Sombra, under the pretense that they together can ultimately defeat the Mane 6 with their efforts and teamwork combined.
However, in reality, he just wanted Twilight Sparkle to gain more confidence by defeating them, with himself as a safety net if she should need it.Powers and Stats

Standard Equipment: None notable
- Optional Equipment: Exploding Chocolate Milk, Plunderseeds, Invisipaint, Crystal Ball, Grogar's Bewitching Bell
Genius. He is a clever trickster who was able to outsmart and deceive the Mane 6. He has thousands of years of experience, his knowledge is stated to have no bounds, and he has been shown to be extremely proficient at using his reality warping powers. He also has advanced Cosmic Awareness that allows him to see and hear anything across time and space.
Average due to his mental instability.
Weaknesses:
- Discord's magic can be overcome by certain individuals or objects. He has been defeated and petrified by the Elements of Harmony; Celestia cast a spell on the Elements to keep Discord from taking them again; His magic has been overpowered and taken by an empowered Tirek and Grogar's Bell; His magic had been nullified by Queen Chrysalis' throne and an anti-magic lock put on him in Abyssia.
- He can be so overconfident and cocky that he will not go all-out against enemies, and has a tendency to underestimate them. He has been defeated three times due to this; Initially by Celestia and Luna, later by the Mane Six, and most recently by Tirek. Despite being a master manipulator, he can be tricked himself at some points, such as when he was tricked by Lord Tirek into betraying his friends for freedom, and then tricked by Tirek, Chrysalis and Cozy Glow into thinking that they failed to obtain Grogar's bell.
- If Discord acts or becomes "normal", he starts to fade away from existence as he cannot use his reality warping powers in the process of doing so, but it can be reversed if he experiences something "chaotic". In addition, he can lose his powers if someone compatible with his realm enters it while he is not there and begins to link with it, although this can be reversed by proving himself the more chaotic one. They would have to destroy the spare Discord recently residing in the dimension first before the linking can begin.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Reality Warping: Discord's reality warping has shown no real limitations, but it is not as powerful as Tirek was after draining most of Equestria's citizens. Although he usually activates his powers with a snap of his fingers, it's been shown to be thought based on multiple occasions.
Note: It has been confirmed that the Sun of Equestria is the same size as our own, despite that it revolves around the Earth.
