to be fair the Reflections story arc plot was a little more complex than that...

@Carcer lol

old meme.

and BTW...

those are scars.

@Derpy Bottom left two make me think of Death of the Outsider abilities.

@vicky_molokh-unsilenceMonica Weird part: the original changelings didn't have any hole and those are somehow hinted to be scars they got after Celestia/Luna were annoyed enough to go into Holy Smite mode.

So now...

option a) every changeling is from that old battle that happened at least a thousand year before. They never healed and despite being able to change form they still use one that bears the sign of that battle

option b) Chrysalis is the one stupid enough to want to keep that appearance and the others have just to adapt.

So, why she still look like Emmenthal cheese... no one knows

@Derpy [Something] happens, and now all [species] has [feature] seems like a staple in mythology.

@vicky_molokh-unsilenceMonica it is not like the changeling origin depicted in the comic can be really considered canon after the mess the new writers made in the late seasons (before there were contradiction, but minimal. Then things like season 8 making the Journal - the only book to have been deemed canon by word of god - completely impossible happened)
