Trivia
- There were many early fan names. The most common nickname given to him was Al, a shortening of "Alicorn".
- Funtasia Daily and VK's Club Filly combined this with the various species that it has been guessed that he is, resulting in Al the Angelcorn and previously Al the Alicorn.
- Fillychan also had a tradition for making one-time-use pun names out of "Alicorn", with such results as "Muhammed Ali-corn", "Alister Cornley", and "Alimond Cornkie".
- When the October 2014 trailer had been released, and his name had been spoken out but not written, Funtasia Daily and several YouTube trailer uploaders spelled his name as Zach, partially expecting it to be a Biblical reference.
- Before the announcement of the Filly Stars toy line, he has also been speculated to be other species, through sporting bird wings (like Angel Fillies) and a spiralling horn (like Unicorn Fillies).
- Being the frontfigure of the "fillies with both horn and wings" phenomenon, he has been described as all of that page's terms, including alicorn, pegacornius and angelcorn. Similarities to Rafael's background story as an angel, including Rafael relying on falling stars and rare visits to a Filly kingdom, has been noted as well.
- There were long-running speculations over whether he was meant to front a new Filly sub-brand, including pegasuses[1] and angels. After it having been a silent topic through most of late 2014, it was instead confirmed in January 2015 to be the Filly Stars toy line.
- If Zack is or was an Angel, then his name may be a nod to the various Biblical names that Zack is short for.
Footnotes and references
- ↑ While My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic usually spells it as "pegasi", Wiktionary shows "pegasuses" as a fully usable plural term in English.
