Legends of Equestria:
Alicorns:
King Chronos and Queen Galaxia –
Celestia and Luna's parents, and Equestria's first recorded rulers. The couple perished at the beginning of the Prism Wars, forcing a filly Celestia to fill in their shoes. Their recorded cutie marks –
Chronos - An hourglass displaying the Celestial Calender (alignment of the stars)
Galaxia - The spiral form of a galaxy
Princess Celestia and Princess Luna –
Princesses of Equestria, with Luna absent for one thousand years as she was taken by Nightmare Moon, and tried once to bring eternal night. Fortunately upon her return from banishment, she was returned to her previous state by the Elements of Harmony.
The Alchemist –
Not much is known about this Alicorn other than the fact that he is the only one not to become so by the Elements of Harmony. By legend he discovered Ambrosia, which if consumed will turn any pony into an Alicorn. And from then on became its keeper. This has no historical backing whatsoever.
Unicorns:
Ash Rider – A legendary Fire Mage and creator of the sword Magmarhyme, the legendary fire sword. He was known for his absolute control over fire, and his ability to actually imbue enchantments and items with it, similarly to a dragon's breath magic.
Destrier – A true legend of Equestria, Destrier is still known as the most powerful unicorn to ever walk Equestria, mentor to Celestia herself as she grew up, defeater of the Matriarch leading the dragon armies in the Dragon Wars, and eventual defeater of The Adversary, the starter of the Prism Wars.
The Golem Maker – A unicorn famous for being the only one to create a truly live and independent golem; his first golem, the Trojan Horse, was made of wood, stands guard over his underground keep in the depths of Everfree Forest.
Karkadann - Lord of the Desert, this creature has been called a unicorn by necessity, as sightings vary aplenty regarding his appearance. Some claim he is a massive unicorn with a curved horn and beak shaped snout. Other sightings claim it to be more akin to a horned lizard with hooves, three of which on each of its feet. It is said to roam the deserts in the Griffin Kingdom. It is unknown if this is one creature, or part of a species.
Pegasi:
Blackmane – Infamous Sky Pirate Blackmane first appeared in the Dragon Wars, as a mercenary for the Adversary's armies. Donning a dragon-breath enchanted armor, he was a plague upon Equestria. To this day, the best sky pirate of a generation is labeled as Blackmane. He was killed by Titan Razorwing at the end of the Prism Wars.
Titan Razorwing – Also known as The Sky Titan, one of the few ponies to receive Dragon-Breath enchanted armor. He is to this day recognized as the most powerful Pegasi to have ever walked Equestria, and the founder of the Razorwing line of prodigy Pegasi, as well as founding the Equestrian Stars unit. He died of his wounds shortly after defeating the first Blackmane.
Percheron Razorwing – Counted as a legend of his generation, Percheron was not only the youngest member to be admitted into the Stars, he was also the youngest member to ever lead the Stars. He is also known for defeating his generation's Blackmane, and driving him away from the kingdom. Besides those, he is also the all time undefeated champion of the Aerial Dogfighting Tournament in Cloudsdale, and the only Pegasi since Titan Razorwing himself capable of performing Titan's Blade.
Dr. Rainlock - Known far and wide to be one of the most brilliant ponies in Equestria, and the best explorer\adventurer of his time. Dr. Rainlock's contributions to all manners of research have been tremendous. Though none but the Princess Celestia herself know what he looks like, due to his desire to remain out of the public eye. Dr. Rainlock also has one of the largest treasure vaults known to man and many legendary artifacts rest within.

The Shield Walls - A legendary unit of elite Earth Pony guardians, equivalent to the Stars. It was said that a line of Shield Walls is a far better defense than a 10-foot-thick wall of stones, and much more dangerous. The unit, led by Field Marshal Hightower was exterminated in its entirety during the Prism Wars, and without Hightower to lead it, was never reconstituted.
Arion - Patron of all Earth Races, this pony was said to be the fastest runner in the world, and that even a dragon in flight could not catch up to it. Arion's image is usually seen along Earth Pony stadiums and race tracks.
