Mane Moon, also known as Crescent Moon and Crescent Pony, is a male background Pegasus pony with a light brown coat, darker brown mane, blue eyes, and a cutie mark of a waxing crescent moon. Neither his name nor his title is given on the show, but they are used by merchandise, other media, and promotional material. He shares his design with Buddy, S05E05 Unnamed Pegasus Stallion #1, and sometimes "Thorn", and he shares his mane and tail style with Dr. Hooves (whom he also has a similar color scheme to), Lucky Clover, and Meadow Song.

Depiction in Equestria Girls[]

Mane Moon is one of many ponies seen in the establishing shot of Ponyville in My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks.

Other depictions[]

Friendship is Magic shorts[]

In Triple Pony Dare Ya, Mane Moon makes a cameo appearance waiting in line for Granny Smith's Hearth's Warming fruitcake at the Ponyville Marketplace.

Software[]

Mane Moon is one of the available playable characters in Gameloft's mobile game. He is referred to simply as "Crescent Pony" in gameplay, but he is called "Crescent Moon" in a post by both the official Facebook page of the game[1] and the news feed section of the official Gameloft My Little Pony mini-site,[2] and he is called "Crescent_Moon"[3] and "PAPERMOON"[4] in the game's code. According to the game, Crescent Moon is the caretaker of the Wonderbolts, and Lovestruck considers him to be a shy pony.

My Little Pony mobile game description[]

Crescent Pony is the caretaker of the Wonderbolts and has a cresent[sic] moon for a cutie mark.

Storybooks[]

Page 33 of The Wonderbolts Academy Handbook refers to Mane Moon as Crescent Moon and gives him the description, "Crescent Moon keeps an eye on things at the Wonderbolts Academy as the school caretaker. With so many students, it can be difficult to manage, but Crescent Moon knows everypony by name and makes himself available whenever they need his council. There's lots of activity on campus and things can fall through the cracks sometimes, but with CM watching, everypony who walks through that front gate is in good hooves." Mane Moon also appears in a picture with his name listed as "Crescent Pony" on page 177.

Human world Crescent Moon appears in Wondercolts Forever: The Diary of Celestia and Luna. Here, she[sic] is school president of Crystal Prep Academy and one of Celestia's old friends from middle school.

Merchandise[]

Mane Moon is named with a trademark symbol in the nineteenth wave of mystery pack toys. His collector card description states that he "& Amethyst Star arrive at the show early."

On at least​[​specify​]​ the DVD Season Four Disc 2, closed captions for the episode Rainbow Falls refer to Mane Moon as Crescent Moon.

Quotes[]

"There's Rainbow Dash, she's an awesome flyer!"
