If you think about it, Chrysalis is a female Tirek.

Both are Complete Monsters.

Both feed on ponies (Chrysalis feeds on their love, Tirek feeds on their magic).

Neither was redeemed at the end.

Discord helped defeat both of them.

Both had their master plan fail because they underestimated something (Tirek underestimated the power of friendship, Chrysalis underestimated Starlight Glimmer).

Both came very close to winning.

Both have their defeats be a game changer (Tirek's defeat awakened the Mane Six's ability to use the Elements of Harmony without the trinkets, Chrysalis' defeat reformed the Changelings).
