Moonshy is a pegasus from Cloudsdale who flew away when he was a young foal. Ever since then he has wandered Equestria in order to fulfill two goals of his. However, his supplies now run low and he must go into town to replenish them. He comes across one he has never entered before and, seeing as its the closest one to him, flys in.

Though his social awkwardness proves to be an obstacle for him, it hasn't stopped him from making new friends but alas, this pleasant visit to Ponyville turns awry when a mysterious creature shows up and turns this peaceful visit into a true fright.
