Wow, I'm surprised as to how I can actually see this playing out in the show.
Let me just take this opportunity to rant this little pet peeve of mine:
I hate when they call Celestia "Tia". I really really really do. It means "aunt" and it will never mean anything else to me.

Mmmm... Are you by chance from Catalonia? I'm from there and it happens exactly the same as you.
Actually, I know him, he's brazilian, as I am. It's really bothersome when they call her Tia, exactly because of this XD
And Celestiamat.
And Celestiamat.
Pretty sure it's tia in Spanish as well, though there might be an accent on the i that i'm missing.
That would make it "Tia Tia". Or "Titia Tia" (titia being a "cute-y" way of saying aunt).
And yay, Bronies brazucas! :D

Well, Celestia is often portrayed as a wise old aunt to Twilight.
I know that feeling. Being half-Korean, I was very confused "emo" style became popular ("Emo" is how you pronounce the Korean word for "aunt".)
That's really funny ^^ "Oh GOD! She actually wants the DM's background stories? The f'cks wrong with her?!"
Lol, its obvious you haven't seen the first episode of MLP then.. or you're just making more reference towards the game, either way.
Er, what? I've seen FiM plenty of times. I'm talking about the comic here...
...Somehow, despite me having basically no direct exposure to Transformers, your description of Bahamut left me going "...Optimus Prime?"
Oh, man. I feel bad for all the players now that Fluttershy has the DM started...hoo boy...
Hmmm... Bahamut & Tiamat as the villains for the season 3 opener?
No idea, been so long since I played I can barely remember my chromatics...
Maybe he gets corrupted... possessed by Discord... ate bad clams... I don't know.

Um... she'd add the gems to her hoard, unless she expected them to fight for her.
Come to think of it, the draconic pantheon fits pretty neatly into D&D... headcanon'd!

Looking back, Fluttershy earlier asked about Celestia, so she is trying to learn more about the game setting. Now it's Twilight's turn to be impatient.
I imagine all the other players pulling out their mobile phones at this point.
So...is Spike a metallic dragon, or a chromatic dragon?
>Purple coloration
>Smaller and slower than other dragons we've seen, but more intelligent personable
>Strong personality, great wit
> Inordinately fond of gems
He's clearly a juvenile Amethyst dragon, first seen in Dragon Magazine #37 (May 1980), later reprinted in The Best of Dragon, Vol. 3.
And thus my horrible secret comes out: I've probably been playing D&D longer than most of you have been alive.

I have been playing since 1982 when I bought Dragon #50 on a whim because it had a dragon on the cover.
Spike's a Gem Dragon from the Monster Manual II. Specifically and Amethyst Dragon.
Ok, kinda scary. The Campaign im playing right now revolves heavily around Bahamut/ Tiamat (and dragons in general), and now they show up here. Guess what else we encountered in the Campaign? A Village called Ponyville. I won't go into details, but now all the PCs involved have Ponies as companions. Mines a white Unicorn, guess what her name is.
"I won't go into details..."
You are SO evil. I really wanted to know how I...I mean, someone, who is totally not me, could reasonably work that into anything...
(That'll definitely throw off my players. Right?)

Wow. This is the first Campaign Comic to include Bahamut and Tiamat in the setting.
....Achievement unlocked!

Spike could be a Purple Chromatic Dragon.
Well I rather think S.P.I.K.E. is an acronym and it stands for:
Spiked Palavering & Indefinite Knowledge Extension.
So I postulate that 'he' is not only Twilight's familar, rather an outsourced or exterior brain. ^_^
Alas we know Spike is a ravashing Vampire ;)

Is it ok if I use the "Bahamut and Tiamat" thing in a fic? It just gave me an idea for a new story arc (granted, almost the entire thing is just ideas for story arcs right now, but it's a start."
Bahamut and Tiamat are actual historical mythological entities.
Tiamat is a Sumerian deity, her son Marduk was a dragon slayer (and in modern forms of the legend, usually his mother's killer).
Bahamut was an Islamic monster usually described as a fish or a whale, thought to be derived from the biblical Behemoth (despite the later not being a sea creature).
