| “ | Right you are, Princess. And as Queen of the Changelings, it is up to me to find food for my subjects. Equestria has more love than any place I've ever encountered. My fellow changelings will be able to devour so much of it that we will gain more power than we have ever dreamed of! | „ |
| ~ Queen Chrysalis explaining her true plot. |
| “ | Starlight: What plan? Why did you do all this?! Chrysalis: So I could feed, of course! By replacing the most beloved figures in Equestria, my drones will be able to store all the love meant for them and return it here to me. Everypony will do as I command, and my subjects and I will feed on their love for generations! (laughs) |

Her Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Her Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
In General[]
- Overall, she seeks to rule over Equaestria by having it's populace drained of their love. Her villain song indicates she was evil since she was a child.
- Her statement that Equestria has more love than anywhere else she encountered implies she's successfully conquered other kingdoms before.
- While she is a predatory creature and she devoured ponies love in order to survive and also to feed her subjects, it does absolutely nothing to excuse her actions because.
- Her actions go far beyond what she had to do in order to survive, and her worst actions were done out of sadism and lust for power rather than predatory instincts.
- She manipulated all of her subjects into thinking she's doing what's best for them, but is really forcing them to live in starvation just to keep power over them.
- While she claimed during her reveal to Cadance during her previous invasion that she's doing this to find food for her subjects, indicating that she cares about them, her manipulations and sadism shows that's just an excuse for power, and she is not a well-intended extremist. This is made more apparent in season 6 after Starlight finds out.
- What makes this even worse is the fact that since she is the changeling hive queen, all of her subjects are also her children.
- She could have changed her ways like the other changelings did by obtaining love by sharing it instead of draining it. Instead she rejected Starlights offer of redemption and chose to remain evil and swore to get revenge.
- None of her comedic moments detract from her villainy and none of her actions are played for laughs, not to mention most of them coming from after undergoing sanity slippage after losing her hive. After the trio plan to betray Grogar, she returns to being a more serious villain once again.
Season 2[]
- Attacked Princess Cadance, then hid her in the caves below Canterlot.
- Disguised herself as Princess Cadance in order to make Twilight think that Princess Cadance was evil.
- Brainwashed Shining Armor so she could lower Canterlot's shields. It's even heavily implied her brainwashing was physically hurting him.
- She also brainwashed Princess Cadance's bridesmaids to ensure Twilight and Princess Cadance wouldn't escape the caves.
- Manipulated Twilight's friends and family into turning on her.
- Trapped Twilight in the caves below when she was all alone.
- Manipulated Twilight into attacking, and possibly even killing, the real Cadance.
- Threatened to send Cadence back to the caves if she tried to stop her.
- Watched in sadism at her armies rampaging across Canterlot.
Season 5[]
- In the second altered timeline that was created by Starlight Glimmer, she and her Changelings have taken over most of Equestria without the Mane 6 to stop them.
Season 6[]
- Captured the Mane 6, Spike, Celestia, Luna, Cadance, Shining Armor, Discord, Trixie, and Flurry Heart and planned to feed on them all and take over Equestria. She only spared Starlight due to arrogantly believing she was not worth replacing with a changeling.
- Drains Thorax of his love for "betraying" her (even though Thorax just wanted to show there's a better way to obtain love) just to stoke her delusional leadership and make an example out of the others, further showing that she doesn't actually care about her subjects.
Season 8[]
- Created evil counterparts of the Mane Six named the Mean Six so that she could take control of the Elements of Harmony, eliminate Twilight and her friends and destroy Starlight's relationships as revenge for turning the rest of the Changelings against her, ignoring that it was her own fault for lying to and dictating over them.
- Argues with and abuses the Mean Six as well.
- After discovering their betrayal, she attempts to destroy the Mean Six with her beam.
Season 9[]
- Though she and her team came close to redemption, Chrysalis quickly snaps them out of it.
- Goes along with "Grogar's" plan out of fear rather than true loyalty and seeks to usurp him the moment they find his bell.
- Betrayed and turned against "Grogar". Even though it is actually Discord in disguise, she doesn't know that until the trio succeeds, and they didn't do it out of any standards. Also being manipulated by him doesn't justify anything she or the other two do later.
- Along with Tirek and Cozy Glow, blew up most of the Canterlot Castle.
- Was willing to let the Windigos turn Equestria into a frozen wasteland so that she, Tirek and Cozy could appear as heroes by stopping them later to make everypony do whatever she wants out of gratitude. The other two do not support that idea.
- Threatens to pluck off Spike's wings if the Mane Six don't surrender, even though he's a baby dragon and therefore, a mere child. Even though she gives him back to them, it's only because she got what she wanted, and she still tries to kill him along with the ponies anyway.
- Attempted to finish off the Mane 6 with a magic beam but then many unicorns blocked them with a magic barrier.
- Unable to accept her and her allies' defeat for the last time, she furiously ranted at Twilight that friendship cannot save her and swearing revenge on her once again not before Pinkie drops a giant cupcake on her and her allies to shut them up.
- She even tried to spitefully attack while being turned to stone. Unlike the others, her face is full of rage and malice.
What Prevents Her from Being Pure Evil?[]
- She tends to rely on Fridge Horror during her worst acts.
- It was never implied that she and the others would allow any beings in Equestria to succumb to the freezing caused by the Windigos before destroying them (the demographic of the show prevents the use of words like "die", but she never says anything like "Whatever ponies are left", or "The survivors").
- When the rest of Equestria comes to aid in the final battle, while the villains do attack them, they never explicitly announce an intent to outright destroy them like they did with the Mane 6 and Spike.
Trivia[]
- She is the only MLP Near Pure Evil to be a female in the series.
- She is also the only Near Pure Evil to not die, even if something similar happens to her.
