Line 67:
* [[Den of Iniquity]]: The Den of Wonders in the Black Light District, a fantasy equivalent of an opium den. They actually admit children - for a reduced price.
* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: A griffin. Twice. {{spoiler|When the protagonist Bean falls off the edge of the world she is surprisingly rescued by such a chimera, and again at the end as the gang sink into the sand}}.
* [[Devil in Plain Sight]]: {{spoiler|Both [[The Starscream| Odval]] and the [[Sinister Minister| Arch-Druidess]] don't seem to be any worse than the rest of the main cast in Season 1 and most of Season 2, but at the end of Season 2, they use Zog's apparent death to usurp control of the crown and turn Dreamland into a fundamentalist theocracy, secretly doing so for little more than money and power.}}
** And in many ways, {{spoiler|the [[Dragon with an Agenda| Arch-Druidess]] is this even to Odval, as she was secretly working for Steamland without his knowledge. Her attempt to murder Zog at Derrik's wedding is foiled by Odval, as [[Even Evil Has Standards| even he seesconsiders that as going too far]].}}.
* [[Double Entendre]]:
{{quote|'''Kissy''': I can't go all the way.}}
Line 76:
** The land of the elves - "Elfwood" - appears from another dimension and is an example of a dreamworld within a dreamworld.
* [[Dumb Is Good]]: {{spoiler|Jerry is no-doubt the dumbest member of Dagmar's family, implied to have suffered brain damage when they tried to use the crown on him. He's also one of the few truly decent people in the series, and eventually helps Bean escape at the cost of his own life. Emphasized in a scene later where his soul is seen in Heaven.}}
* [[Equal Opportunity Evil]]: Bean at first admires Steamland for not having the "glass ceiling" that Dreamland does. Be that as it may, Steamland seeks to conquer and subjugate Dreamland;, {{spoiler|with the Arch-Druidess being a mole working for them.}}.
* [[Everyone Has Standards]]: Bean has quite a few vices, and not a lot of morals or ethics. Drinking and gambling she's okay with. Public nudity, she's fine with. Stealing from her stepmother's purse? Okay, ''that'' makes her hesitate and feel a little guilty afterwards, and likely causes a lot of regret later, seeing as the snake-root gives her even ''less'' morals, enough to approve of grave-robbing. This is lampshaded later, when Oona forgives her for everything ''except'' stealing the snake-root, sternly telling her ''never'' to do it again.
* [[Evil Cripple]]: Zog is, by his own admission, arthritic, anemic, and diabetic, and he makes his health worse in one episode where [[Too Dumb To Live|he gives himself gout on purpose]] after hearing it's a "nobleman's disease".
