Line 79:
** 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}}. They also use child labor, abuse the working class, and throw non-humans like Elfo and Mora into a jail that is used like a circus freak show.
* [[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".
