Formlings

> "*We were Formlings and we lived in peace. And at the end of the day, we returned to our village. It was a beautiful place, built deep in the forest. It was my home. But my brother and I, being younglings, had not yet found our animal forms. And despite what I told my brother, I was nervous.*"

The **Formlings** are beings who can take the form of various animals. It is revealed in "Gearing Up!" that the Dazzlings are the Formlings. The Ice Emperor and his Ice Dragon Boreal, froze the Formlings except Akita and Kataru, until the end of the Ice Emperor's reign.

Sometime after, most Formlings started to move to Ninjago, after Akita and Kataru decided to live here for the rest of the lives, while the others have to stay in the village in the Never-Realm. Not long after, Akita had two children, one of them is Chika, who is also a Formling, which can morph into a six-tailed fox. It is unknown what will happened to the Dazzlings, after being turned into stone.

## Trivia

* Similar to the Oni and the Changelings, the Formlings have the ability to shapeshift despite not having the actual Elemental Power of Form.
	+ They differ from the two species in that they can only transform into an individual animal depending on the person while the Oni and the Changelings can transform into anything.
* The Dazzlings are the first Formlings to be introduced, as they first appeared in *The Princess of Friendship*.
* In "Twilight Time" and "Awakenings", it is revealed that the Formlings are omnivorous, meaning that they can eat everything, as Kataru was eating a meatball sandwich and Sonata Dusk was eating tacos.
	+ They also take sweet foods, as shown when Chika is eating muffins at the Sugarcube Corner.
* Tylings is a portmanteau of words "Tiny" and "Formlings", which are the insect-like Formlings.
* They are not confused with humans with Pony-Up Power in the Human World, as both can morph into an animal, but people with Pony-Up Power can morph into half-like ponies.
* It is revealed that most Formlings have a diary after the Choosing, as it used to write Friendship lessons or a message from its family members, it is a traditional way for the Formlings to communicate.
	+ This has changed in "Awakenings" that Formlings are now using digital devices, like what Kataru did, instead of writing a diary.
