## Biography

### Early Life

Grogar was born a part of an elite family of sheep long before Equestria was founded. Because of this, in a similar fashion to Alicorns and Changelings, Grogar is larger, more intelligent, and more powerful than others of his race.

### Grogar's Rise to Power

Even at a young age, Grogar was hungry for power. When he was of age, he went out in the world and started collecting materials to create a dangerous magical talisman, the Bewitching Bell and collar. The collar gave Grogar some of his power, mainly his immortality. But the Bewitching Bell gave Grogar most of his power. With the bell, Grogar can drain another creature of their magic and use that magic as his own, placing the magic into himself. After draining some ponies of their magic and ridding the powerless bodies before they were found, Grogar eventually came into power, declaring himself emperor.

### The First Emperor of Equestria

#### The Father of Monsters

Grogar's power came from fear. To keep the natives, specifically the ponies, under his control, Grogar created numerous monsters. These monsters include the Etherian variants of the Cockatrice, Chimera, Manticore, Hydra, Ophiotaurus, and the Tatzlwurm. Grogar let these creatures run amuck, taking what they wanted and destroying everything else. These wild creatures scared away most non-pony races, the Bat Ponies, the Crystal Ponies, and the Kirin. The only creature Grogar believed were a threat to his reign were the Dragons. Grogar created the Roc, a giant bird attracted to the smell of molting Dragons.

#### Creating Discord

Seeking a way to increase his power even further, Grogar created what would later be called Ponehenge. Ponehenge is an ancient structure that can enhance the powers of those within it along with summoning things from and banishing things to the Void. Using the stone structure, Grogar gave life to his own evil and chaotic spirit, Discord the Serpopard. However, soon after his creation, Discord left Equestria for unknown reasons.

#### Shadow Ponies

After the failure that was Discord, Grogar created the Well of Shade to collect nearby Dark Energy. He created Umbrums, Shadow Ponies, beings of pure darkness that, when merged with a pony, can become very dangerous. These Shadow Ponies did not submit to Grogar and so were banished to the far north, near where The Crystal Empire will be.

### Theft of Grogar’s Bell

The Ponies became fed up with Grogar. An army of Unicorns led by who will become Gusty the Great decided to rise above Grogar and overthrow him. After a struggle, Gusty was able to steal Grogar's Bewitching Bell and used it to steal all of his magic before she banished him from the lands. It is unknown what became of the now powerless Grogar after this point. However, at some point, Grogar was frozen in stone and taken away by The Creature Council and placed in the Hall of Talismans in the Uncanny Valley.
