Greta is a female griffon and supporting character who first appears in The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone. She is Gilda's first griffon friend.

Development and design[]

Regarding Greta's appearance in My Little Pony: Friends Forever Issue #24, issue writer Georgia Ball stated on Twitter that it was the result of minimal communication between her and issue artist Jay Fosgitt[1] and that she "didn't see [the completed] art until final approved letters".[2] Greta is one of three Friends Forever Issue 24-redesigned griffons, the other two being Grampa Gruff and retroactively Gretchen.

Depiction in the series[]

Greta appears in the season five episode The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone as a resident of Griffonstone. When Gilda and Pinkie Pie bake fresh griffon scones, Greta is distracted by the aroma, and another griffon bumps into her and knocks her down. Gilda helps her up, but Greta rudely brushes her off.

Toward the end of the episode, Gilda offers Greta some griffon scones in friendship. Greta refuses the offering at first, but she eventually accepts and compliments Gilda's scones off-screen. She is last seen sharing scones with Gilda by the statue of King Grover.

In the season six episode The Fault in Our Cutie Marks, Greta makes a brief cameo flying through Griffonstone and sharing griffon scones with Gilda in Gabby's flashback.

In the season nine episode The Ending of the End - Part 2, Greta takes part in the final battle against Queen Chrysalis, Lord Tirek, and Cozy Glow.

Other depictions[]

Greta appears, with a different design than in the series, in My Little Pony: Friends Forever Issue #24. She is a member of Griffonstone's boffyball team, and she takes part in a game against Yakyakistan.

Greta is a character in Gameloft's mobile game, added in the version 2.7 update on February 17, 2016. An image of her, Gilda, Grampa Gruff, Griffon Shopkeeper, and Li'l Griffon was posted on the My Little Pony Game Facebook page on February 19, 2016.[3] The game's description of her states, "Greta's friendship will be yours for the taking, so long as you gift her the scones that you're baking!"

Promotional material[]

The Elements of Harmony Vol. II guidebook[]

GRETA might come off as a grouchy Griffon at first, but give her some space. She's simply cautious around new friends. Offer a scone and get to know her. She might just follow.
