Line 152:
* [[Pun-Based Title]]: Episode titles such as "Swamp and Circumstance", "To Thine Own Elf Be True"
* [[The Quest]]: To find the elixir of life, ''of course.''
* [[Red Herring]]: {{spoiler|Oona is this at the end of season one. For a while, it seems like her hatred of Dagmar has become enough to resort to murder. In truth, she takes the more sensible option and flees Dreamland, Dagmar being the one truly behind the attacks.}}
* [[Reluctant Ruler]]:
** Zog never wanted to be king; when he was young, he was a [[Warrior Prince]] who preferred a more martial role in the nobility, and only became heir after his older brother was assassinated. As one might expect, he isn't a very competent ruler.
Line 160 ⟶ 161:
** Luci mistaken for a cat.
** The "Plague Patrol" cart features a number of times.
* [[Sadistic Choice]]:
** At the end of season one, {{spoiler| Bean has to choose whether to use her one use of the vial to restore her mother or bring Elfo back to life. She choses her mother - and [[Be Careful What You Wish For| eventually regrets doing so]].}}
** This results {{spoiler| in Zog getting one too, having to choose between Dagmar and Oona, having married the latter when he assumed Dagmar was dead. On one hand, Dagmar is the woman he truly loved, and is far more liked by the citizens of Dreamland. On the other hand, Oona is the mother of his heir, and rejecting her could cause already damaged relations with Darkmire to erupt into war for the ''second'' time. Eventually, he chooses Dagmar, which again, turns out to be a bad choice.}}
* [[Sand Is Water]]: a sand whirlpool.
* [[Shout Out]]: multiple to [[Game of Thrones]] in season 1. Mainly, a [[Parody]] of the Iron Throne, and a female protagonist with silver hair, as well as a marriage (attempted) to a son of incest.
* [[So Unfunny It's Funny]]: The Jester; most of his jokes involve goats, and Zog gets far more laughs dumping him down a trap door that he has in his throne room for that exact purpose.
* [[Stupid Evil]]: {{spoiler|When Oona tries to sneak onto Dagmar's ship and is caught, Dagmar tries to get rid of Oona by shackling her to an anchor and throwing it overboard. Oona's species has both lungs ''and'' gills (even telling Dagmar that in a previous episode), meaning she can breathe water and thus cannot drown; at most, this is a temporary solution for Dagmar.}}
* [[Talking Animal]]: [[Played With]] as King Zog assumes (without question) that Bean's demon is a talking cat.
* [[Tragedy]]: [[Played for Laughs]].
