Flash Magnus

Flash Magnus is an Equestrian male Pegasus pony and figure of Equestrian legend. He makes his first appearance in My Little Pony: Legends of Magic Issue #4, and he also appears in the season seven episode Campfire Tales. Both stories tell of how he rescued his comrades by outsmarting overly-strong dragons, and how he rescued griffin lands from an out-of-control superstorm.

Role in the series
Though he died of old age a long time ago, it's revealed that Flash Sentry is a modern descendant, and that fighting dragons may be in his blood, so he can possibly help fight off an old foe of his in the form of the strongest dragon ever known Magmatacus, while using his uncovered fire-retardant shield. It's also discovered that the griffin who prohibited his interference to save the griffins in the comics, Blackbeak, before his death, was tricked into triggering a focal point in the underground volcanic regions by Magmatacus in an effort to free himself from his imprisonment of Mount Penance.
