Captain Celaeno is the name of the leader of a pirate crew of parrot-like creatures who help the ponies in My Little Pony: The Movie.

The Celaeno Fragments are a series of occult writings (created by H. P. Lovecraft’s friend and contemporary August Derleth for his series The Trail of Cthulhu) ascribed to Dr Laban Shrewsbury, and written from memory after a series of visits to the Great Library of Celaeno, located in a star system in the Pleiades.
