My Little Spider: Friendship is Magic

I'll have to update this later, I'm not sure how to make the cutie marks (they go on the abdomen, of course).

Meet the main cast of MLS- FiM: The six guardians of the elements of harmony and their little dragon-fly slave (he's still a larva).

I'd love to develop an actual cartoon for this concept, but there are several problems.

One of them being vocabulary: Much of the MLP-show's charme comes from all these horse-related puns. Did you notice that in the English language (and my own language as well, mind you) there are countless puns in regard to equines (horsing around, horse thief, don't look a gift horse in the mouth, horsefeathers, everypony, anypony, nopony, etc...). What has MLS to offer in that department? The only thing I can think of right now are recycled spiderman-puns. Any ideas?
