Lord Tirek is the sixth main villain of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, acting as the main antagonist for the season four finale Twilight's Kingdom.
He is easily one of the most dangerous entities in the whole series. Tirek is a centaur from a land far away from Equestria and possesses the ability to steal the magic of other beings. Returning from a long exile in Tartarus, he sets forth to absorb all magic in Equestria, which he failed to do millennia prior. Early on, he enlists help from Discord, who was initially sent to stop him, playing on the Draconequus' hubris to win him over. Knowing loyalty only to himself, Tirek is quick to betray Discord after regaining enough of his strength, eventually stealing even Equestria's Alicorn magic. However, shortly after achieving his goal, he is stopped and imprisoned once more by the newly released Rainbow Power. He returned in the ninth and final season, acting as the final antagonist alongside Queen Chrysalis and Cozy Glow.

Gifted (Incredibly clever and manipulative, was able to manipulate Discord, who was able to do the same to the Mane 6. Along with Chrysalis and Cozy Glow, he was able to bypass the Canterlot Castle's improved security system without notice and turn the three Pony tribes against each other. He also conspired with Cozy Glow to help her drain Equestria of all its magic. However, his arrogance and short temper can leave him vulnerable, as Discord was able to trick him into firing a blast that ricocheted and freed Starlight Glimmer)
[]
He can only steal magic from living beings, and seems to have trouble absorbing magic from stronger opponents (He was unable to absorb Chrysalis's magic until she willingly gave it to him, waited until he was in his fourth state before trying to drain Discord of his magic, and made no attempt to drain Grogar of his magic). He is also rather arrogant and short-tempered. His weakest form also seems to be more vulnerable to the cold than his later forms, as he was briefly seen shivering after being reverted to his weakest state and exposed to the open air.

- Energy Blasts: Tirek fires a red blast of energy from in between his horns. This is a natural ability he can do even in his weakest form without needing to absorb any magic at all, as he was seen preparing to attack Sombra with it after being freed from Tartarus before absorbing any magic. In his third form, he gains the ability to fire energy from his hands as well.
- Magic Absorption: Tirek sucks all of a foe's magic out of their body through his mouth, increasing his power. After stealing enough power, he gains a new form. In his first form, he is only able to steal magic from beings who primarily use it, such as Unicorns, but from his second form onwards, he gains the ability to steal natural and less potent magic from other beings such as Pegasi and Earth Ponies. He can drain magic from dozens of beings at once. He can also use his telekinesis from his second form onward to paralyze a target to make this much easier. He mainly uses it as a source of raw power rather than gaining the innate abilities of those he drains. Frenemies reveals that he can only take magic from other living beings and that he can return magic to whoever he has taken it from if he so chooses.
- Earth Manipulation: Tirek stomps the ground and creates rocky structures to attack his foes. He needs to be in his third form to do this. In his fourth and final form, this ability is far greater, enabling Tirek to create multiple and far larger ones at once by smashing the ground with his fists, as shown in his battle with Twilight.
- Shockwave Generation: Tirek pounds the ground and creates a shockwave.
