Snowflake is the name of a male Pegasus pony who first appears in the episode Hurricane Fluttershy. He has a white coat, dirty blond mane, and intense red eyes. He has a unique, very muscular character model.

Development and design
Snowflake has a much larger, more muscular build than other background ponies in the show. Though a fully grown stallion, he also has considerably smaller wings than the other pegasi. Unlike other background Pegasi introduced in Hurricane Fluttershy, like Thunderlane, Blossomforth, and Silverspeed, Snowflake wasn't officially named in the episode's script and was intended as "more of a visual gag." In the script, what would become his lines were only attributed to "pony walla" ('walla' being a general term in scriptwriting and voice ADR work for miscellaneous background voices), and the storyboard artists and animators made the decision to turn "pony walla" into a boisterous, large pegasus.

Depiction in the series
Snowflake first appears in the opening scene in Hurricane Fluttershy where he gives the first of what would be several emphatic "YEAH"'s during Rainbow Dash's speech. He makes several more appearances throughout the episode, most of which are accompanied by another shout of "YEAH!" He flies among the rest of the Pegasi in the hurricane and isn't noticeably impeded by the smaller size of his wings.

Snowflake later appears as a trainee in Wonderbolts Academy. When sized up by Spitfire of The Wonderbolts, he's instantly intimidated by her. During training, he is paired up with Cloudchaser as her wingpony. Like his fellow Wonderbolts trainees, he ends up stuck in clouds due to Lightning Dust's eccentric flying. In a cloud clearing exercise, he busts clouds with his teeth rather than his hooves, letting out another "YEAH!" Later, when Rainbow Dash's friends are saved from danger, he catches the care package they'd made for her. Finally, when Rainbow Dash is made a lead pony (after Lightning Dust's discharge from the academy), he salutes her.

Other depictions
Snowflake appears on the season two poster behind Flitter and Cloudchaser, grouped with other Pegasi from Hurricane Fluttershy. He also appears in Issue #1 of IDW Publishing's Friendship is Magic comic book series, on page 3.
