Pipsqueak

Pipsqueak or Pip is a young pony who dressed up as a pirate for Nightmare Night in "Luna Eclipsed".

Design
As his name suggests, Pipsqueak is smaller than the other ponies. His coat has patches of color on it, unlike most ponies in the show who have a solid-color coat. The equestrian term for a light coat with dark patches is pinto pattern.

History
Pipsqueak first appears in Luna Eclipsed collecting candy with a group of fillies, at Twilight's library, wearing a pirate costume. During his first scene he speaks with a British accent, but the absence of the accent later in the episode suggests he may have been imitating it as part of his costume. When he states it is his first Nightmare Night, Twilight asks if it is his first since he moved to Ponyville from Trottingham, and he replies with it being his first ever. He joins a group of fillies chaperoned by Pinkie Pie, which follows Zecora while she tells the story of Night Mare Moon. When Princess Luna appears, he gets scared and dumps his candy in front of Night Mare Moon's statue along with the rest of the group and they all run off. The other time he is shown is when Princess Luna saves him when he falls into Applejack's water apple barrel. He is startled when Pinkie Pie said the Princess would "gobble" him and instantly runs off again. At the end of the episode, after he and several other ponies are playfully frightened by Princess Luna, he comes up to her and states that she is his favorite princess and hopes she can visit again next year.
