Puzzle Giveaway, Batman AC ended, solutions below, more to come

Heyas, this puzzle focuses on wordplay as well, but all the answers are from a single TV show. Solving one can make the others quite simple.

Edit: Now ended, see how the answers match the clues below, and perhaps apply a similar process for future giveaways :)

The game given away is quite popular, and the clue for it is: lots of animals, but in particular, winged pigs that get smoked with their sense of hearing. Yep, you don't want to live here at night, especially when the truncheon-light gets smashed.

Spoiler for people who don't want to try and figure out what game it was, here

If it's too hard, I'll post hints here, please don't share answers/hints in the comments though, thanks. That said, feel free to ask!

For reference, my other puzzle giveaway is still going.

General hints: Ahoy there me maties, mount up and let's set sail for the land of Oz!

"me maties" = my friends, "mount" for pony, and "sail for the land of Oz" = ship, magic (Oz is a wizard).**

"My ladies please: forgive interruption mistake, my fellows and I need a hint?" "Sure, stop horsing around and GO BACK FROM WHENCE YOU CAME YOU NAGGY MIDGET."

The first letter of the first six words are M L P: F I M, while "my fellows" = "my friends", "horsing" and "NAGgy midget" indicates small horse, or pony. Thus, the show is My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

All answers are one or two words.
Half of the answers comprise the significant majority of this TV show.

With 12 questions, half = 6, so 6 of them are the "significant majority", or main characters.

Specific hints as follows (clues in brackets affect the original questions in puzzle). Keep in mind any spelling/grammatical/punctuation errors or oddities are intentional and hopefully helpful.

H1: in many games [indeed, in real life as well], I play a significant element in determining the price of items. Black Lotus artifact anyone? Back then I was golden, but WoW, then I'm blue. With my friends, I occasionally shine. (by harder, I really mean the hardest of them all, and ones that last till the end of time. I love these hard...clues)

#### Answer is Rarity. Black Lotus is an artifact in the card game Magic: The Gathering, and was extremely rare. The indicator for rare cards is gold in MTG, and in WoW, or World of Warcraft, rare items are blue. "occasionally" = rarely. As for hard, well Rarity loves gems, and especially diamonds, the very hardest of them all! She can also track gems with her horn, so she finds those easily.

H2: Roarr - hmm no matter how hard I blow, these candles keep lighting up again! Why would that be? (Who's my good wittle Humpty Dumpty? My namesake in another 'verse is the one with slick white hair.) Myself, I'm purple with envy. I mean, green. Well, mostly purple. Delivering a letter? Let me catch my breath.

#### Answer is Spike. He starts out as Humpty Dumpty, or an egg, but then grows to be sharp and a dragon (his name, teeth etc). In another TV universe, in this case Buffy, his namesake Spike, being a vampire, is threatened by Buffy and her stake, "Mr. Pointy". To relate back to MLP, a search for Spike+green+purple would have sufficed. He delivers letters by blowing on them, hence the "catch my breath".

H3: the brotherhood of fans really like this answer. Geez. Uggh. Obvious wasn't it? Derp. -.- =.= -- == ($200 is a reference to Monopoly, but the two is also significant at first once you get to the right spot. See it now? Try hearing it.)

#### Answer is Derpy. "I'd cross" is eyed cross, plus the implication he can't see straight = cross-eyed. $200 to turn around, well in Monopoly you get that for passing Go, or the start. "two", "first" as in the first two words, then sound it out. "Predy simple" well Derpy is an anagram of the intentional misspelling, and he's kinda simple :) "brotherhood of fans" = bronies, they like his character for some reason. The -.- etc, well that's a 'derp' face!

H4: you must promise me as well, so hold my hand! Smile, you clown :) Who keeps a pet alligator these days? Eww spit that Gummy out! Caaaaaaaaake! My favourite! Caaaaaaandy! My favourite! Paaaaaaaaaarteh! My favourite! (first = initially)

N.B. The spelling I set for this answer is wrong >.< Swap the proper "ie" in the first word for "y" to satisfy the puzzle.

#### Answer is Pinkie Pie. "swear", "without fingers" suggests pinky promise. Clowns throw pies in faces. Pinkie loves to "smile" too, and has a song titled that in the show. She also has a pet alligator named Gummy, loves cake, candy, and especially parties! "initially", "go to the bathroom" = initials that make you want to go, i.e. P.P.

H5: turn off that light switch...yes off, not on. Now what do you see? Wolves, howling through the darkness at this time of the month? Hah, just a bad dream. (are the lyrics correct? If not, what changed? Turn me wrong way round baby wrong way round round round round.)

#### Answer is Nightmare Moon. The wrong lyrics "sun up there wan-" sound vaguely like the song, but obviously the important words changed are "sun" and "wan". "No" and "look the other way", plus "switch", "off not on", indicating the opposite. So, bad rather than sweet dreams, and moon rather than sun. Wan suggests moon. Wolves howl at the full moon once a month. Bad dream = nightmare.

H6: I can explode that Superfasterthansoundhedgehog into multi-coloured pieces all day :) Somewhere, over the-re, run [or fly] fast, but further than sprinting. o0o [doubletap] -- ->->

#### Answer is Rainbow Dash. "Run! Quickly" = dash. Leprechauns and gold = at the end of a rainbow, so rainbow then dash. "equal" for equality, often symbolised with a rainbow. "Somewhere, over the-" = Somewhere, over the rainbow" a pretty famous song, just fill in the missing word :p "Further than sprinting", 100m = sprint, further = slightly longer distances, often called a 'dash'. o0o = vague rainbow shape. "[doubletap] ->->" is a reference to double-tapping a direction in arcade games like Street Fighter; doing that makes your character perform a dash...plus the "--" are both dashes.

H7: Razors were so last century...still, make sure you keep that helmet on, wings or not. (you can take this dunny with you wherever you go)

#### Answer is Scootaloo. "Run along dear" = is an expression often meaning "scoot", "dunny" is slang for toilet, or loo. "that-a-way" suggests the format, i.e. Scoot-a-loo. Razors are a brand of scooters. Scootaloo usually wears a helmet when riding it, and also has wings. The dunny, or loo, is portable, which suggests 'Port-a-loo', often found at large outdoor events.

H8: I'm the only one here being realistic. So listen to me, because I'm the head honcho of this enterprise...or at least this format. Santa is evil I tell you. Don't bargain with him like the German did last time. All he Has now is a Bro-ther who plays with toys for young girls. (leave out the "Ralph")

#### Answer is Lauren Faust. "haggle with Santa" = bargain with him, but that should remind you of a 'bargain with the devil', which was immortalised in the opera Faust. Ralph Loren without the Ralph = Loren, misspelt = Lauren. Only real answer; all the others are characters, whereas Lauren Faust is the "head honcho", or lead of the show (she created it), and thus a real person. "Santa is evil" = Satan, or the devil whom Faust made the bargain with. "last" = last name, Faust. "Has" and "Bro" are capitalised and separated, making Hasbro, the company behind this; plus the toys, suggesting MLP.

H9: I also grasp the earth with my roots, and shake my lovely green afro. Wait, I'm not? But I'm trying to be assertive here! Girly colours hey...well I am a girl, so what? Aren't bunnies just the cutest, most Angelic creatures? Along with every single other animal of course! Sorry, I didn't mean to exclaim so loudly. yay

#### Answer is Fluttershy. "withdraw branches" suggesting tree, plus the wildlife. There is an in-joke that Fluttershy is a tree (she's not), plus one episode involved her overcoming getting blown over by a tornado. "Wait, I'm not?" after the further tree clues suggests the character is not a tree, which is easy enough to Google. Another episode focuses on her trying to be assertive. "Girly colours" are usually pink and yellow, which Fluttershy is. "yay" in lowercase suggests small, quiet voice (that's how she yells "yay" in the show).

H10: I have a male last name...how is that possible, Captain Harkness? Oh well, back to the orchard, Jill, and take that pail of fruit with you. (white coats, not lab coats)

N.B. Looks like I spelled this answer wrong somewhere; once you get the answers, add me and message me, I'll give you the link.

#### Answer is Applejack. "can do anything" = jack of all trades. "put it in just about anything" = apples, in the show. She is trustworthy, hence "trust me", and "white coats" = doctors. An apple a day "defends against", or keeps the doctor away. Captain Harkness = Captain Jack Harkness from Torchwood, plus "Jill" and a "pail" suggest Jack. Orchard, fruit suggest apple.

H11: who? No, you. WHO? Bad rats! Bad rats everywhere! Not anymore ;) They were delysiusly, deliscious. Ow, the sun is up? Time to sleep! Others of my kind have the Ability to prevent sleep, while Hypnosis-ing others to sleep. (change "mum" to "mother")

#### Answer is Owlowiscious. "Who" = Hoo Hoo, which this character does a lot (indeed all owls), hence the repitition of that sound. "the one" = the first, i.e. the first word. The namesake is a dark crusader, or Black Knight, who helps "scarecrow and his mum", or the Scarecrow and 'Mother', all three of which appear in the novel Scarecrow by Matthew Reilly. "Bad rats" apparently no longer being a nuisance = dead rats, or in this case, eaten. Owls eat rats. Incorrect spellings of delicious suggests character spelling. "ow" and wierd time to sleep indicates owls, which are nocturnal and sleep during the day. "Ability to prevent sleep" and "Hypnosis" suggest Pokemon, in which 2 owl-like pokemon have the Ability Insomnia, and the Move Hypnosis.

H12: twinkle twinkle...I am, of this show. Hmm one moment, I need to look that up. Nooo I can't find it! My name may remind you of Edward...but I have a much more cheerful disposition!

#### Answer = Twilight Sparkle. The six main characters form the Elements ("parts") of Harmony, and Twilight is the one of Magic. "topsy-turvy" = chaos, disharmony. "missing" = last remaining main character. Arthur C. Clarke's famous quote suggesting that magic is simply science that we don't understand, or "fathom", suggests Magic, thus the missing element is Twilight. She is also somewhat "serious", and is kinda the main character. "twinkle twinkle..." well "little star" is missing from that rhyme, and Twilight is the little star of this show, though not by much. She also likes to read, and look things up, while getting anxious when she can't find it. "My name may remind you of Edward" = Edward Cullen, a character in the Twilight series who sparkles. Obviously Twilight Sparkle is a happier character by far!
