Yet he still cares about his family as shown when he calls Minimus "Bro" and tells him his one regret about leaving home was that he left his family behind.

Physical Appearance
Unlike Minimus, who is a pony, Mazzimo is a real horse as shown by his size and the shape of his head. Like his brother, he's completely purple with his mane a darker shade than his coat.

Role in the Series
Mazzimo used to live in a Royal Stable with his parents and brother Minimus in a kingdom ruled by a kind and noble king. Despite having a kind master and a comfortable life, Mazzimo, unlike his family, wanted to be wild and free. One night, a visiting horse told Mazzimo about Wildwing Valley, a magically hidden valley where mystical animals roamed free. Mazzimo knew he had to find this place and said good-bye to his parents and brother, who couldn't understand why he was leaving due to loving life in the castle and were sad to see them go. On the way, he was captured by the Knights of Borrea and taken to Borrea Castle where he was held againt his will by Prince Roderick, who renamed him Thundercloud.

Mazzimo appears after Minimus and Princess Sofia enter the Royal Stables of Borrea. Minimus, who's still angry at him for leaving him and their parents, gets into an arguement with him that attracts the attention of Prince Roderick and his stable master Gavin. After tripping them up, Sofia frees Mazzimo and they take off, with Roderick and Gavin in pursuit. After losing them, Minimus and Mazzimo have another that distracts Minimus in a way that makes Sofia fall of him. This distracts the two horses long enough for Roderick and Gavin to catch up and capture them both. While being secured, Mazzimo explains to Minimus that feeling tied down was why he left home and that he always regreted leaving his family behind and the two brothers reconcil. Luckily, Sofia intercepts them and defeats Roderick and frees the two brothers. Afterwards, they head to Wildwing Valley where Mazzimo and Minimus part on good terms.
