Sure, why not? |

Depends on whether or not pegasi are born with the cloud-walk ability or they have to learn it. |
| Anonymous #662320 8 months ago |
Where does the ability lie? Do they have some kind of coating on their feet? Do they just lightly hover above the cloud actually? I'd be interested to know how it functions. |

Nah, it's gotta be natural for pegasi. Fluttershy had never been to the ground before she fell at camp, and there were tons of blank flanks around for Dash's race. You can't build a city in the clouds if the population's offspring can fall through them for any amount of time. |

@662328 Or maybe you COULD and it would just serve as an extreme flavour of natural selection... |

Nature would select for Fluttershys who would be born afraid to leave home. |

...Not the worst possible thing? |

Oh wait, that's an R looked like a T... nevermind. |

I'd like to think of it as her being able to stand on it, provided that she kept moving. A bit like when you walk on custard. |

@662359 How does Dashie sleep on clouds then? |
| DeeperMadness #662379 8 months ago |
@662365:
I just meant Scoots. I reckon there's a technique involved that she hasn't mastered yet for whatever reason. |
| Anonymous #662388 8 months ago |
Scoots is a ground-bound pegasus. Who are her mom and/or dad that they are exiled from Cloudsdale? Fluttershy is the only pegasus we've seen living on the ground and she's well.. Fluttershy.
There's either some serious love or serious lameness in Scoot's background. |

Walking on clouds has got to be a natural, automatic Pegasus ability. If it were not, there's no way that somepony as awkward as Fluttershy could have survived long enough in the clouds to get her Cutie Mark. By her own admission, she was a poor flyer until after she got her mark.
Flying and cloud-walking are different things. One is an inherent, possibly magical talent, and the other is a skill that must be learned. |

^ Yeah, cloud-walking does seem to be a trait that all pegasi are born with. Flying takes practice. |
