Talk:Make New Friends but Keep Discord/@comment-10265857-20150511143920/@comment-10390252-20150512081501

The teaser animatics and the previews seem to make it clear that the 'new friend' is the Smooze. That's not a stallion or a mare but, rather, a macroamoebic blob with some hypnotic powers.

It's nice of Fluttershy to attempt to reform another one of Equestria's monsters of old but you would think that the fiasco with Tirek would have taught her that some creatures just can't be reached. Their heart (or the cytoplasmic equivalent thereof) is just too dark for that.
