Talk:The Times They Are A Changeling/@comment-1031724-20160823014126

So here's two more things this episode has established:

First, it seems the changelings do need the love energy to survive, or else they get really weak if they go too long without it like vampires with blood in the Buffyverse. But at the same time, they can do it without hurting any ponies, so Chrysalis didn't have to do what she did, she chose to.

Second, it shows that changelings come from eggs, where the comic showed a tree spitting them out after eating bugs and pony bones.
