Muffins, (known as Derpy in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic series) or normally called "the pony in the box",[notes 1] is a playable and non-playable character in My Little Pony: Magic Princess. She is a wall-eyed Pegasus with a gray coat and yellow mane and eyes, and her cutie mark is a group of bubbles. She is seen hiding in a box with a small rectangular hole cut out for her to see through. If tapped, she will be uncovered and drop 20 
, and has about a one-in-three chance of also dropping 1 
or 1 
if you have less than 3 wheel tokens (that information was from a much earlier version of the game, we still have to confirm it). She will then disappear to hide again, reappearing not long after again.
Muffins can appear in Ponyville, Sweet Apple Acres, Canterlot, and Crystal Empire.
The playable Muffins was added on Update 4.3.

Animations and appearances[]
Muffins in a box, being uncovered, and falling.
The Muffins in a box has several unique animations. The first being her posing with her head up and all four hooves on the ground when she is uncovered. The next is of her falling down. She will fall both when walking and when flying. Muffins will also skip in place and fall down.
Muffins also appears in the Apple Bobbing Stall, which was available as part of the Nightmare Night 2013 update. Tapping the stall causes Muffins to stick her head out of the barrel and look around before diving back into the water.
Muffins appears as the Hearth's Warming Angel, the second product that can be made in the Canterlot Gift Shop, which was available as part of the Hearth's Warming 2013 update.
Muffins' box decorated for Hearth's Warming Eve.
During the holidays, Muffins' box used to be decorated like a present wrapped with green paper and a red ribbon and bow.
After the 2.4 update, and until another update, once Twilight Sparkle became an alicorn, Muffins used to spawn in Ponyville without her box. She stood perfectly still until tapped.

Trivia and Tips[]
- Her eyes used to appear normal while peering from the box, but she regained her derp eyes after being uncovered. However, this was fixed in an update and now she has her derp eyes in the box too.
- Tip #1: If you find and unbox Muffins quickly pan away so she's well off-screen. Click around in your new area. Wait a few seconds and she might be back in her box in another part of the scene. You can find her two or three times in rapid succession this way and thus have more opportunities to get gems from her. (Doesn't work any more after Update 3.3)
- Tip #2: If you need Muffins to spawn more quickly, visit Ponyville or Canterlot and spend some time in Edit mode, moving decor around. It seems to make her appear after Editing.
- In Update 3.4, another Muffins was able to be purchased in the game as "Lazy Fan". A later update added a third Muffins as "Mail Muffins". There is also a Wise Muffins, and a Future Muffins.
