He's sort of the "unicorn" of the dragon race. More likely: Spikes egg comes from another country and is a different breed than the equestrian variety. In this theory he would be a "magic" dragon for lack of a better term, and maybe even worked for Tirek like he did for the original Gen 1 show. The biggest backer of this theory is the idea that his growth and power is directly connected to Greed, and that would follow the theme of the other villians so far, like Envy, Betrayal, disharmony, rage, ect. My fanon probably not real theory: Spike was one of the Villains that Celestia beat 1000+ years ago, and the elements of harmony sealed him inside an egg till he was released by twilight, something that was probably fortold by prophesy or something like that. There is a theory (probably even in this thread) that Twilight's magic altered Spikes appearance. He has no wings, his muzzle is shaped like a pony's, and his back legs are hoof shaped. ponyish? This may sound weird but I think he's part pony, or has pony ancestors. Edited Jby FelixĪnd also do you think that he is a bit. Having no wings may also have to do with this.Ĭompletely theorizing though. Had Spike been born by naturally growing in the egg until it hatched on it's own, he may have looked more like a normal dragon without Twilights magic involved. Of course it was instead magic that brought him to life rather than the.er.natural way. Just like how a child shares genes of one or both of their parents, the same could be said with Twilight. While this might sound super weird, it would be as if Twilight was the one to lay the egg.

It's possible unicorn magic had an influence on the physical features of Spike as it was that magic that forced the egg open which would theoretically make Spike the child of Twilight. After all, any normal dragon hatches.well naturally. The idea of him being pony-ish has been brought up before and I specifically remember it in "Dragon Quest" Why he looks that way? Perhaps because it was unicorn magic that hatched the egg.
