For now, we displayed one of the biggest Tiracians in The Legion of Dooms’ ever growing army. Now it’s high-time we show the most common, and numerous of the lot. These are the Storm-troopers. A similar concept to what soldiers are, but with actual sentience, and the intelligence to follow orders, and carry them out. These are the most common Tiracians in the army, even more than the soldiers, because of how easy it is to make them. And the answer as to how they come into production?

Corrupt ponies with the Dark Side of The Source.

While the other Tiracians are modified creatures of Darkness combining the essence of several lifeforms, the Stormtrooper-class are what results from giving ponies the same kind of treatment Morgoth gave to the elves that would be the origin source of the Orcs. Hundreds of ponies were tainted by The Dark Side, tortured, and mutilated into a ruined, and terrible form of life. THESE are the genesis of all other Tiracians, and how The Legion of Doom inevitably learns how to mass produce them. Once the process is complete, they all become living, breathing monuments of dark essence. The violet ‘vents’ on their bodies is the excess darkness shining out of them. They are the most abominable of all Tiracians due to their circumstances.

Either way, they wouldn’t really be called Stormtroopers if they had no weapons to fight with. Yes, of course, they have their teeth and claws. And their whip-long scorpion tails are as venomous as every Tiracian species. But close-ranged attacks like these only get you so far in a world of swords, spears, arrows, and spells. That’s where the Devil Glaives come into play. Not only are these lethal, double-bladed spear-swords with a lethal cut: they share the qualities that the Troggles of Grogar in G1 have by means of the glaives being able to reproduce artificial magic. Usually it’s hostile, offensive magic, but they have their other uses, as well. Very handy weapons for those without magic, who wish to even the playing field against creatures like unicorns.

And with both their fierce weapons, strong loyalty, and their infinite numbers (easiest to clone, let’s just say), the Tiracian Stormtroopers may very well ensure that the playing field IS even when The Legion of Doom exacts its revenge.
