The Everfree Forest

This is the most mysterious, interesting, dangerous place in Equestria. It is completely untamed and cannot be tamed at all, because of a thick magic that swirls around it like a protective coating of wildness. It is filled with manticores, cockatrices, ursas major and minor, minotaurs, sea serpents, parasprites, timber wolves, dragons and more. It is, however, also filled with interesting animals and plants, many of which are edible. It's a beautiful, possibly perilous place which is located near Ponyville.
