Number 1 Perfect-est Pet by Lopoddity on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

When Stormy was a colt, Rainbow Dash thought maybe getting him a pet could teach him some responsibility/inspire some drive in her son. She thought maybe Tank's slow, mellow turtle ways were rubbing off on Stormy too much. Solution: Get her hippie babbu a pet falcon

Rainbow took Stormy to Fluttershy's bird conservatory to look over some of the new falcon fledglings, but of course doofy little Stormy wandered off and encountered the cutest, cuddliest, most perfect pet for himself all on his own. After convincing Rainbow that the sloth wasn't dead, only sleeping, and fixing his mom with the biggest puppy dog eyes he could manage, Rainbow caved and let Stormy adopt his new pet, a female three-toed sloth...that he named 'Potato".

Potato's interests include sleeping 10-18 hours a day, chewing on a single leaf for hours at a time, gazing at things, attempting to groom Stormy's mane, attempting to groom everypony's mane (including Rainbow's, to her annoyance), and being snuggled by her owner. Potato is also a great listener and will give Stormy sympathetic mane pats when he's sad
