Maplehoof

Maplehoof is the name that Rose Lalonde has bestowed upon her beautiful pony. Mother gave it to her as part of her Guardian Rubric: Ironic Indulgence attack. While Rose at first Abjured Maplehoof, it seems she's developed a small amount of affection for her, giving her a pat on the snout, albeit in a begrudging way. After Rose entered The Medium, Maplehoof disappeared along with Mom.

It was later revealed that Mom took Maplehoof with her when she left the island. Maplehoof follows Mother's scent into a cave and comes across the aftermath of her strife with an enemy of the Land of Light and Rain, collecting the huge amount of Grist left behind, sending to Rose's Grist Cache. The overflow is sent to the Grist Gutter to be redistributed to the other players. Maplehoof demonstrates a surprising amount of intelligence when she stands on her hind legs to be safely transportalized, following Mom to the Ectobiology Lab hidden in The Veil. For some reason when the Paradox Clones are sent back, Dave's companion is Maplehoof. Maplehoof was HS 4662 (killed) upon impact with Earth. Maplehoof was then turned into a bib for Dave, which was constructed by Bro. It is as-yet unknown what Maplehoof's fate is in the post-scratch timeline. It is possible that Maplehoof survived the landing which killed her pre-scratch, or she may have still been killed, and something different may have happened to her corpse. This speculation assumes that the asteroids the kids were on were duplicated as opposed to being ectobiologically created in the new session.

Origin
Although Maplehoof's origin has yet to be discussed, she is seen with young Dave during The Reckoning. She died in the meteor impact, at which point Bro picked her corpse up and took it home to eat. Eew. For a single frame Bro can also be seen riding Maplehoof after losing the Beat Mesa to Jack Noir.

Troll versions
As with most things, there are Alternian versions of Maplehoof called Aquatic Hoofbeasts, similar to the mythological Hippocampus of Poseidon, groomed and cared for by Feferi Peixes. They each have one of the symbols of Troll Relationships on them, in red or black. Eridan's Lusus may be of a similar species, though it resembles a seahorse more than just an underwater horse.

Post-Scratch version
A tiny version of Maplehoof is seen in Dirk Strider's room. Although it was initially believed to be a figurine, it turned out to be an actual pony when it was seen sleeping on Dirk's Honorary Placronym.
