Line 7:
 
* [[Carnivore Confusion]]: The author makes it very clear that carnivorism is okay, ''as long as it's just for food''. Dragonfly and his family hunt and kill other dinosaurs for food. Sharptooth is evil because he kills for joy, not for food. To add a whole new level of confusion, the dinosaurs are segregated, with carnivores not being able to interact with herbivores. However, Dragonfly eventually ends up befriending Styra, because Troodons are too small to kill einiosaurs.
* [[IllI'll Never Tell You What I'm Telling You|I'll Never Tell You What I'm Telling You]]: When Sharptooth kidnaps Styra, he asks her where Dragonfly is. She says "No! I'll never tell you that Dragonfly is at his nest, close to the river, about 5 miles from here". This was obviously [[Played for Laughs]].
* [[Infant Immortality]]: Averted. At the beginning, all of Dragonfly's siblings are eaten by a Chirostenotes while they are still inside their egg. Blackclaw also kills a baby Saurornitholestes in the story.
* [[Long Lost Relative]]: The entire basic plot of the second book is about Dragonfly finding his long-lost sister. {{spoiler|Before Dragonfly's eggs hatched, a Chirostenotes killed most of the eggs in the nest before the babies hatched. Only Dragonfly's egg survived. However, his sister also survived, but her egg rolled into a Dromaeosaurus nest, and she was adopted by the Dromaeosaurus parents. In the future, when they are both adult Troodons, Dragonfly and his sister reunite with each other, once again.}}
