* [[A Boy and His X]]: Cerberon was born when George was a child and they've been inseparable ever since.
Line 86:
** Thedrik thinks this when he enters a tavern full of unsavory criminal types. Even they wouldn't help hackals raid human homes like he's doing.
* [[Everyone Can See It]]: It is patently obvious to everyone but George that he and Margaret are a good match for each other. George complains about this when he finally realizes it. Cerberon also doesn't notice until George tells him about their engagement, and he doesn't really believe it until their betrothal.
* [[Evil Overlord]]: The Dragon Queen. Most of the people understandably think of her and describe her as an [[Evil Overlord]]: Solitary ruler of the world? Check. Lives in a [[Supervillain Lair|fortress of doom atop an active volcano]]? Check. Employs [[The Dragon|an enforcer]] with a [[Names to Run Away From Very Fast|Name to Run Away From Very Fast]]? Check. Personally responsible for the [[A Million Is a Statistic|deaths of thousands if not millions]]? Check. [[I Am a Humanitarian|Eats people as a standard part of her diet]]? Check. Except that she's actually a subversion. It turns out that she's really a [[Reasonable Authority Figure]] who has to [[Shoot the Dog]]. Unfortunately the dog in this case happens to be a [[Humans Are
* [[The Exile]]: Aladavan was exiled for banning his sister. The Ban is apparently an [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique|evil forbidden technique]] which is a [[Fate Worse Than Death]] for the person receiving it.
* [[Extreme Omnisexual]]: Probably describes a large portion of the human population of the world, considering the number and variety of half-human hybrids encountered. George might also qualify, as he's shamelessly attracted to a [[Petting Zoo Person]] (Junapur) and a [[Our Centaurs Are Different|centauress]] (Zofi).
Line 188:
* [[Pet the Dog]]: An almost literal example, when Aladavan lavishes Sascia with positive attention (inluding petting her). It's part of his [[More Than Mind Control]] treatment of her, but Darkram later points out that Aladavan probably really does care for her much more than he thinks he does.
* [[Petting Zoo People]]: Junapur has mostly human features with distinctly (though nonspecific) animal characteristics. She's probably closer to [[Little Bit Beastly]] on the scale, and might qualify as a [[Hot Amazon]].
** Beast halfs (like Pavel and Jena, who are mule halfs) are your more typical petting zoo
* [[Planar Shockwave]]: Oethelzeiren creates one of these from energy gathered from a bunch of magical attacks on him. It takes out everyone attacking him causes a lot of collateral damage.
* [[Police Are Useless]]: When Thedrik warns Lieutenant Hanlon, of the Loethess Guard's Hackal Control Squad, about the underground preparations for the Dragon Queen's imminent attack, Hanlon dismisses the warning. Hanlon actually has a point: the Queen's attack has been imminent for years, and they've heard warnings similar to Thedrik's so many times they've gotten used to it.
