Erebus is a male Cloud Demon and a villain who appears as the main antagonist in the four-part episode, Bright Lights.
Bio[]
Erebus is a malevolent Cloud Demon whose intention is to devour everyone's shadows to give him strength.
He met Night Shade in the village Grayvale one day, and promised he will boost his career and make him a star. Erebus indeed drew almost the entire village to Night Shade's next concert, stealing all their shadows, including that of Night Shade's mother, and used them to turn himself into a powerful cloud of magic. Since then, Night Shade has toured to increasing success, stealing ever more shadows for Erebus, hoping to keep his own shadow long enough to figure out a way to stop Erebus. While hunting for shadows, Erebus calls to Megan to come out of hiding, and she steps up, announcing that she has a surprise for him.
A vast army of Flutter Ponies, brought by Molly and Lofty, fills the skies, circling Erebus and blasting him with their Utter Flutter. Unable to withstand the onslaught, Erebus grows smaller and smaller, and the shadows he contains fly out, seeking their original owners, and both he and Zeb are placed in prison.
Trivia[]
- Erebus is very similar to Lord Tirek from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. He also served as an inspiration for him, aside from Tirac. They both absorb magic/shadows to get strengh and they used a henchman to help them gain power and then betray them when their usefulness has expired. They also both have protege's that work for them, Zeb for Erebus and Cozy Glow for Lord Tirek. Both Tirek and Erebus were imprisoned after being stripped of their magic.
