This is a list of characters from the My Little Pony segments in the 1986-1987 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 farm 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.[1]
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.

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 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 Dragon Gang are three unnamed dragons who appeared as the main antagonists of "Spike's Search" - an episode from the original My Little Pony series.
Spike, being a baby dragon, was becoming worried with his inability to control his fire breathe, so he set out to find a dragon to teach him how to control his powers. Unfortunately, he came across a gang of particularly brutish dragons, complete with a leader who fancied himself a king (wearing a crown).
The Dragon Gang were rude and unwelcoming to Spike, but their leader decided to allow Spike to come with them to see what being a dragon was about. However, to Spike's dismay, the Dragon Gang raided a nearby village, terrorizing the villagers and stealing their food.
The Dragon Gang proceeded to leave the still-burning village and laughed despite Spike saying what they were doing was wrong. Spike suggested that the Dragon Gang be more like the Little Ponies, which sparked the Dragon Gang's interest, and they had Spike take them to the Little Ponies, though they were secretly planning on robbing the Ponies and were simply using Spike.
However the Ponies were aware of what was happening and arranged a feast for the Dragon Gang, who greedily took the food and began to bully the Ponies, causing Spike to stand up to them, yet they refused to leave, and so the Ponies let loose a trap they had set specifically for the troublesome dragons.
Using a nearby waterfall they drenched the dragons, who hated being wet and fled the scene, complaining that they were only "having fun".
Spike decides he is better off without the Dragon Gang and says he wanted to learn how to be a dragon and not a bully.
