Cloudominium

The Cloudominium is Rainbow Dash's cloud-based home in Ponyville. It is a large, floating dwelling with an exterior made of clouds and rainbows and an interior made of more solid material such as wood and stone. It is varyingly called the "Cloudominium", the Cloud House, and Rainbow Dash's House in merchandise, Gameloft's mobile game, and other material and depictions.
==Development and production==
The term "cloudominium" was used in asset file naming of Rainbow Dash's cloud house.AssetsLicensor.zip. Archived. The name was also used by colorist Janice Kubo to describe Dave Dunnet's artwork, which was later identified as Cloudsdale preproduction art on page 35 of the guidebook The Elements of Harmony. The name was used again by Jim Miller on Twitter in reference to Rainbow Dash's home in Tanks for the Memories on April 25, 2015.
The cloudominium's interior shown in the IDW comics' coda is derived from fanart mistaken by Tony Fleecs for official artwork.
