Line 52:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Dan.
* [[Dead Person Conversation]]: Fossil dinosaurs (such as Traumador's mom) can still communicate with Vivus dinosaurs, at least to some degree.
* [[Deep -Cover Agent|Deep Cover Agents]]: {{spoiler|Craig and Dan.}}
* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: Literally. Traumador is saved by a Maori god from [[Evil Counterpart|another]] ([[God of Evil|evil]]) Maori god.
* [[Animal Talk|Dinosaur Talk]]: All dinosaurs have a common language, although they prefer not to speak it if possible.
* [[The Ditz]]: Traumador at times. Also, Dollie Stegosaurus.
* [[Don't Touch It, You Idiot!]]: Against Ms. Rhonwyn's instructions, Traum opens one of the baskets that he has been told to dispose of. The magic that emnates from the open basket attracts [[God of Evil|Whiro]], who proceeds to chase Traum all over New Zealand...
* [[Dumb Muscle]]: Dollie Stegosaurus isn't all that bright, but she can ''really'' play hockey. Her [[Defictionalization|thagomizer]] can send the puck at such high speed and accuracy that it's extremely difficult (and painful) for an opposing goalie to block it.
* [[Early -Bird Cameo]]: Norman A Centrosaur was first mentioned when Traumador did a post on his pre-blog life. Zendin the Troodon, who was also featured in that post (and occasionally referenced now and then) is [[What Happened to The Mouse?|likely]] [[Word of God|also one]]. Similarly, the mosasaur, which appeared once in 2007 but has yet to have any followup.
** Hogan the Muttaburrasaur first appeared in a list of names. He's now a player in the Dinosaur Winter Games, although not yet a significant character.
* [[Emotionless Girl]]: Valor Velociraptor is thought to be one by many others in the Pack of the Primordial Feather.
Line 145:
* [[Proud Warrior Race Guy]]: Dromaeosaurids. Desdemona feels underused and disrespected when Layla and Razi's "Crate" plan (the details of which have yet to be fully disclosed) is being carried out.
** Carnosaurs appear to be this.
* [[Punch -Punch -Punch Uh -Oh]]: The three remaining Crimson Talons that {{spoiler|Lance hasn't [[Curb Stomp Battle|dispatched]] outmaneuver and begin tearing into him with great gusto. Then Lance reveals that he had intentionally allowed the "raptors" to attack him successfully to cover Traum and Tony's escape. Once Traumador and Tony are safe, Lance proceeds to kick more "raptor" butt}}.
* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: Traumador's adventures take place wherever (the real-life) Craig goes. (Though [[Schedule Slip|not necessarily at the same time]].)
** [http://traumador.blogspot.com/2010/10/boy-are-our-faces-pink.html Traumador contributes to the pink dinosaur cancer fundraiser event by Art Evolved.]
Line 156:
** The ''Leaellynasaura'' have a generic ornithopod design, but new research shows that they may have been [http://dinogoss.blogspot.com/2010/07/tall-tail.html much, much weirder].
** In a way subverted, as Craig can update character designs as [[Art Evolution]] takes place.
* [[Seldom -Seen Species|Seldom Seen Genera]]: ''Saurornithoides'', ''Einiosaurus'', ''Pinacosaurus'', ''Thescelosaurus'', ''Hypacrosaurus'', ''Heterodontosaurus'', ''Stegoceras'', and ''Serendipaceratops''.
* [[Series Hiatus]]: Unfortunately, in spite of Traum's and Craig's best efforts, there hasn't been any new blog posts since February 2011. An official hiatus was announced in April 2011 to allow Craig to work on his other projects.
* [[Shout -Out]]: [[Star Wars|Darth Vader]] makes an appearance as a [[More Than Meets the Eye|fishwatcher]] whose [[Shrouded in Myth|evil side is overly hyped up in movies]].
** Traumador calls on the [[Ghostbusters]] to get rid of some ghosts... which turn out to be beluga whales.
** Larry the Tyrannosaur and Desdemona Deinonychus are both movie stars, being the [[Tyrannosaurus Rex]] and lead raptor in ''[[Jurassic Park]]''. Teresa the Tyrannosaur joins them in the sequel.
Line 197:
** Traumador fears that this may have happened between him and Zendin due to the Pack of the Primordial Feather's interference.
** May or may not have happened with Traum and Craig. Craig's mysterious disappearance ruined any chance of reconcilation.
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|Why Did It Have To Be Ankylosaurs]]: Traumador fears many things, including [[King Kong|gorillas]], ghosts, [[Early -Bird Cameo|mosasaurs]], explosions, balloons, and rodents, but ankylosaurs must be near the top of the list.
* [[The Worf Effect]]: Professor Paradigm is shown to be extremely skilled in physical combat. Sadly, most of his battles we (and Traum) are witness to were with [[Always a Bigger Fish|even stronger opponents]].
* [[Write Who You Know]]: Craig is the real mastermind behind the blog. Nearly all the humans who appear are friends of his or [[Special Guest|Special Guests]]. And Traumador himself is a puppet owned by Craig that he used as an educational prop of sorts while he was working at the Tyrell Museum.
