!!Tropes featured:
* AlienGenderConfusion: The dragon's heads get into an argument about whether they are fathers or mothers, or if their child is a boy or girl. For that matter, they can't decide if they're a "me" or a "we" either, using different pronouns at times in the same sentence.
* AlliterativeFamily:
** The adult dragon's heads [[ThemeNaming are all named]] after plants beginning with "B", like Bactus, Berbera, Boppy, Bulip, Biolet...
** The baby dragon's heads all start with "Ö".
* AnachronismStew: Though set in the magical Middle Ages, random technological conveniences do appear. Krisztofóró takes advantage of this in the very first episode, where he defeats a [[{{Steampunk}} steam]] [[MechanicalAnimals horse]] by making it fall in love with a locomotive, causing the horse to try and find the machine that hasn't been invented yet.
* BookEnds: Each episode starts and ends with the 13-headed dragon telling a bedtime tale to his unruly 3-headed kid.
* ButtMonkey: The middle knight among the Knights of the Pretzel Table, who [[RunningGag constantly suffers]] AmusingInjuries and gets InstantBandages.
* CouchGag: The dragon announces each episode's theme song differently. And each time, his kid finishes off the song by saying something different to set up the episode's story.
* ExpositoryThemesong: Sung by the adult dragon's heads. The song actually names the dragon and his kid (Bőfejű and Önfejű), though in the show each head has a different name.

* KnightInShiningArmor:
** Krisztofóró tries to be this when he feels like it, figuratively at least. He hasn't got much in the way of an actual shining armor, but he is usually the only good natured knight in the kingdom who actively tries to help others. Though at times he's forced or accidentally fumbles his way into helping.
** The three other Knights of the Pretzel Table are repeatedly hailed as knights in shining armor by the king, despite being completely useless, unpleasant and idiotic.
* MedievalMorons: Generally everyone, primarily the people of Flangánia, the king and his knights. Krisztofóró and Treffhetes do have their moments of clear-headedness, unless RuleOfFunny is in play. Some people they meet are even dumber, such as the residents of Gigantilia, who are so obsessed with giant things that their biggest fear is a tiny mouse.
