Once upon a time, there was a pony named Beetle. Bit of a strange name for a pony you might think, but these things aren't just random you know - there is a good reason why our friend Beetle has the name she does.

It all started back when Beetle was a tiny little foal, when she would spend her formative days tottering around a glade that her string called home. For some reason our little friend used to enjoy playing with dung. Not the most wholesome of activities, but each to their own. She would mould and kick, she would roll and chase. The amount of fun the foal had with dung that she found in the glade was limitless.

Hence, the string collectively named her as Beetle. It just made sense.

However, as little Beetle grew, so did her prowess with faecal sculpture. So nimble were her hooves that she became adept in creating the most delicate and expressive dung-sculptures. Her family and friends in the purple bandana string became more impressed with her skills, if somewhat slightly nauseated by it.

One day though, some of the more rambunctious young foals in the string decided that Beetle's little hobby wasn't for them. The aptly named Pony #101 and his friend Pony #185 took it upon themselves to destroy Beetle's little dung sculptures while she was out one afternoon testing out her trot-to-gallop routine. They smashed everything into a fine paste, ruining weeks of careful work.

Obviously, this just wasn't going to stand, so Beetle set about concocting a suitable lesson for the two bullies. With her love of all things fire-based, as is the rune she was born with, Beetle set about creating a dung-based trap. Firstly, gathering a decent amount of poo, Beetle was able to create what could only be described as a steaming pile of manure. With this, she made sure to craft pockets of space within the pile using her well-honed sculpture skills. Then, with a rune here, and a store of methane there, she was able to rig a small explosive trap.

Lo, the day came when Pylon and Barton decided to mess with Beetle's sculptures again - and this time it blew up in their long faces. The explosion was heard far and wide in the Elysian Fields, although no pony was seriously harmed in the prank.

From that day forward, Beetle was known as Beetle the Stupendous.
