Description
"The Zony is a fantastical creature that can only be found at Ydris' Circus of Dreams.
While it has many similarities to the Jorvik Pony it's based on, Ydris gave it a magical coat distinct from any naturally occurring pony. This seems to also have affected its characteristics somewhat, as it's even more headstrong than the Jorvik Pony and is particularly reluctant to jump through hoops.
The transformation seems to have had no effect on its appetite, and this little pony will gladly eat anything, given the opportunity, especially candy apples.
The Zony was born from the wishes of many riders on Jorvik, and is a testament to the powerful magic that unity can bring."
Unique Features
The Bray
Unlike regular horses and ponies who whinny and neigh when rearing, the Zony seems to have taken its vocalizations from its zebra side. When the player makes the Zony rear, it will bray like a zebra.

Trivia
- During its release, a glitch made it impossible for the Zony to race in the Pony champ despite being pony, and being listed as an accepted participant in the Pony Championships. This has since been fixed.
- While Zonies are a real achievable Zebroid hybrid "breed" in real-life (being the offspring of a male zebra and a female pony), the Zonies in SSO are clearly the effects of magic and not breeding.
- The Zony's forehead will occasionally glow pink along its stripes, indicating its Pandoric origins.
- The Zony and Vega, are the only magical pony breeds in-game.
- They are also the only magic breeds that do not change colors.
