Grogar's Lair is a creepy cavernous lair which was once the lair of the evil ram Grogar and also the Legion of Doom's former hearthquarter, located in Equestria and it's a location in the animated TV series My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
Given its resemblance to the real Grogar, it is possible, though unconfirmed, that it may have been his lair prior to being occupied by his impostor which was later revealed to be the Draconequus Discord.
Overview
As its name suggests, this cavernous lair was built in the image of Grogar's face and horns, this skull-like cave was located in an unknown swamp somewhere in Equestria.
After learning that Twilight Sparkle would be made ruler of all Equestria in the stead of the retiring Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, Discord took it upon himself to boost her confidence. Adopting the persona of Grogar, he brought King Sombra back from the dead and summoned him, Queen Chrysalis, Lord Tirek, and Cozy Glow to the lair. "Grogar" informed the villains of his intention to form them into an alliance capable of defeating both Twilight and her fellow members of the Mane Six, who had bested all of them previously. Of the four villains bringed back to the lair, Sombra refused to cooperate, and "Grogar" transported him to the Crystal Empire to pursue his own plans of conquest.
Once Sombra was defeated by the Mane Six, "Grogar" used his crystal ball to show his demise to the other three, intending it to reinforce the need for their alliance. Despite this, the three villains bickered with each other constantly, complaining to "Grogar" about each other and their lack of action as a group. Fed up with their complaints, "Grogar" dispatched them to retrieve the Bewitching Bell from Mount Everhoof, which would require the trio to work together. The three later returned to report failure in retrieving the bell, though they had learned to cooperate. Unbeknownst to "Grogar", however, the three had recovered the bell and brought it back, intending to betray him and conquer Equestria themselves.
"Grogar" later left the lair in order to research a new source of power for the Legion's plan, unaware that his "allies" intended to unlock the Bewitching Bell's power for themselves. After retrieving a book about magical bells from the Canterlot Archives, the trio returned to find "Grogar" successful in locating a new artifact for their use and departing yet again in order to recover it. While he was gone, the three learned the uses of the Bell's magic, and were able to channel the magic of the real Grogar contained within it into themselves. With enhanced forms, they then ambushed "Grogar" when he returned with a mysterious amulet which they destroyed.
Using the Bewitching Bell, the trio then drained "Grogar" of his power, and he reverted to his true form of Discord and fled. He remained nearby long enough to overhear the trio planning an attack on Canterlot, and ran to inform Twilight of the results of his ill-laid plans since impersonating "Grogar". After a failed attempt by Cozy Glow to harness Discord's chaos magic, the Legion departed the lair as well, each setting out to attack a different target before converging in Canterlot.
After the Legion of Doom's defeat before Discord was forgiven for his actions since impersonating "Grogar", Grogar's Lair became abandoned again.
Trivia
- While most My Little Pony evil lairs meet their ambigous fates (such as the destruction of Midnight Castle which serves as Tirac's lair or the banishment of Tambelon which serves as Grogar's lair in the first generation of the franchise of the same name), Grogar's Lair was never destroyed, but it became abandoned again after King Sombra's second death and the Legion of Doom's defeat since Discord was exposed in his Grogar's disguise in order to know his mistake, this makes Grogar's Lair one of the rare evil lairs in the franchise to be abandoned instead of destroyed.
- Although the real Grogar never appeared during the events of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and much like the Bewitching Bell which made a cameo appearance in the film My Little Pony: A New Generation, the fact that the Grogar's Lair remained intact, but was abandoned instead of destroyed, this proves an indication that the real Grogar is still alive too and it is likely that he will make an appearance in the future of the fifth generation of the My Little Pony franchise as a potential enemy of Sunny Starscout and her friends.
