* PersonOfMassDestruction: Many beings of Equus are capable of causing almost apocalyptic amounts of damage whether through their powers, their deeds, or simply by their ''very existence'', and Screaming Ninny is a hilariously pitiful and shocking example of this trope. He is held up InUniverse as the definitive example of just how dangerous an otherwise ordinary individual could be just by being a stupid, arrogant, bigoted jerkass with too much authority in his claws - As in, 'world-threatening' level of dangerous - and is ''almost'' enough to justify the argument that some people truly deserve to die for the sake of everyone else. To note, he ruined his Underhold in his brief tenures as an incompetent and reactionary royal official, triggered wars and worsened international crises just by being at diplomatic conferences for five minutes, and insulted Dragon Queen Tiamat so badly he nearly caused a world-wrecking conflict between the Dragon and the Diamond Dog races, if not for the voices of reason among mortal/divine Dragonkind calming her incredible wrath.

* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: The civilized Diamond Dogs of Diamondia and elsewhere takes a lot of inspiration from the Dwarves of many Fantasy settings. This is [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/846620938/4902013507 explained]] to be in part due to the Diamond Dogs noticing and admiring many similarities between their people and the long-vanished 'Antediluvian Dwarves' which once co-existed with 'Antediluvian Humanity' (of which Megann Williams, the Rainbow Empress was one of) and emulating many of their ways with their own civilizations, modified to account for differences between the two races.

Comparisons between the Diamond Dogs with other mentioned 'Dwarven' analogues such as the Duradin, the Dwelldarks and the Deepfolk were made.



* SillyReasonForWar: An [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/870667629/4931403917 ongoing]] feud/conflict rages between a Diamond Dog Underhold in Diamondia and a Tomb King of Crypta over an anvil inlet with a coin stolen from Crypta, since the Cryptans ''absolutely'' will not allow any of their treasures to leave their lands, while that particular Underhold had a stingy and grudgebearing culture to rival the old Duradin and ''absolutely'' will not allow their crafts to be taken by the unworthy. Since the feud/conflict started the anvil had changed sides countless times as their forces had raided and battled each other over it. Even in-universe some like Prince Forging Scales considers this as silly as it sounds.

* TheChampion: Daisy became one for the Diamond Dog pantheon when they notice both her and her fellow poor, exploited and oppressed Diamond Dogs' plights as well as her potential to change things by reforming or remaking the present social-economic systems of Diamondia into something fairer and better for all Diamond Dogs, not just her Underhold but also the rest of Diamondia. As such, they are giving her revolution and rule their full backing, aiding her whenever she need it as well as encouraging her own efforts as leader.
* TheChosenOne: Not born into that role, but Daisy was chosen to become a Divine Champion after the Diamond Dog pantheon saw both her selfless, humble but determined and charismatic character, realizing the potential she has in not only reforming her Underhold but also much of Diamondia into fairer and better societies for all Diamondkind, fully supporting her efforts as a revolutionary leader and an Underqueen for her Underhold.

* GreatOffscreenWar: Daisy's revolution and overthrow of the ruling elites resulted in other Diamond Dog Underholds declaring war and marching their armies against her Underhold, both out of fear of her revolution spreading and also due to the [[BloodThickerThanWater scent-ties]] of the ruling elites with the ruling Pack-Clans of the other Underholds. While the resulting conflicts were not depicted, it was shown that thanks to Daisy picking her commanders based on merit rather than connections and proving to be much more competent and inspiring leader in general, she was able to get the upper-claw in the conflicts and conquer those Underholds instead, forming a confederation of Underholds found on her ideals and reforms with her Underhold at its head.

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Growing class tensions and conflict is emerging among the Underholds of the Diamond Dog civilization as the world enters the industrial age. Being among the first on Equus to embrace mechanization and industrialization in the Fourth Age, ruling pack-clans, industrialists and mercantilists which predominated Diamond Dog societies had become this, having grown immensely rich while ignoring and exploiting poorer Diamond Dogs who mine and produce for them - a growing class divided entrenched by centuries-long traditions and social orders stratifying social hierarchies in the Underholds and making it difficult for those lower in Diamond Dog societies to have a say about their conditions or better their lot. It is only a matter of time before resentments of the working-class Diamond Dogs against the upper-classes would boil over, with Queen Daisy's Underhold being seen by many as the triggering point for imminent Diamondia-spanning social upheaval.

* TheExile: Diamond Dogs like the trio seen in Canon are exiles, banished from the main Diamond Dog civilization for various offences, forced to live on the surface or in burrows in the wild, living in pale imitation of their civilized counterparts digging holes or mining gems when not scavenging for a living. They appear crude and unsophisticated compare to their civilized counterparts due to the long isolation in the wilds or descending from earlier exiles and living their lives deprived of proper education or nutrition.
* HulkSpeak: Subverted. Diamond Dogs are actually quite sophisticated on a cultural level, eloquent in their own languages and is as if not more well-versed than many other races and civilizations with a wealth of literature and lore. However, much is lost in communication when they attempt to speak other languages, which either have pronouns they never used before nor know how to or do not have certain verbs and words that the Diamond Dog languages have, and even when speaking in their own tongues other races like Ponies may miss much due to their communication methods extending beyond verbal and into visual and olfactory cues and ranges like dogs do. Plus, some Diamond Dogs are exiles who lacking proper education and nutrition had degenerated in both culture and thinking. All of this resulted in this stereotype of Diamond Dogs being crude communicators.



* UndergroundCity: Like Dwarves, whom they are based on, Diamond Dogs dig, build and live in large underground settlements and citadels call 'Underholds'. Each Underhold is often a political unit (i.e. a kingdom) in their own right, or merely one major city or stronghold in a larger alliance, confederation, kingdom or empire, depending on the Underhold's city and affiliations.

* StupidEvil: More Stupid than Evil, all things considered. His actions caused a lot of damage, suffering and inconvenience all around and the world is better off with him dead, which as per this trope is caused by his own self-destructive stupidity via becoming Dragon Queen Tiamat's meal.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Many beings of Equus are capable of causing almost apocalyptic amounts of damage whether through their powers, their deeds, or simply by their ''very existence'', and Screaming Ninny is a hilariously pitiful and shocking example of this trope. He is held up InUniverse as the definitive example of just how dangerous an otherwise ordinary individual could be just by being a stupid, arrogant, bigoted jerkass with too much authority in his claws - As in, 'world-threatening' level of dangerous - and is ''almost'' enough to justify the argument that some people truly deserve to die for the sake of everyone else. To note, he ruined his Underhold in his brief tenures as an incompetent and reactionary royal official, triggered wars and worsened international crises just by being at diplomatic conferences for five minutes, and insulted Dragon Queen Tiamat so badly he nearly caused a world-wrecking conflict between the Dragon and the Diamond Dog races, if not for the voices of reason among mortal/divine Dragonkind calming her incredible wrath.

* TheRevolutionWouldNotBeVilified: Queen Daisy managed to overthrow the exploitive upper class of her Underhold without significant bloodshed through sheer charisma and [[TheChessmaster carefully-planned]] actions to convince her fellow Diamond Dogs and even those who defended and supported the regime such as the soldiers the unfairness and wrongness of their rulers' ways.
* SirSwearALot: Queen Daisy, being of working-class and miner descent, has a notable 'potty-mouth', not holding back to make what's on her mind known with plenty of swearing and curse-words.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Queen Daisy could had used the reveal of her [[spoiler:blood/scent connections with the ruling elites of her Underhold]] to demand a place among them, leaving her fellow Diamond Dogs in the dust. Instead, she did not abandon her fellow proletariat and instead used this information to call out the elites for their hypocrisy and showed everyone not only how meaningless the class system is, but also how selfless and humble she herself is. This wins her the KarmicJackpot when with divine support the Diamond Dogs of the Underhold made her their queen after the revolution.

* Catchphrases: One of the most common battle-cries is ''"RIR AVOK ONNON OZ AVOK KJANTH!"'', which means ''"FOR OUR HOLD AND OUR CLAN!"'', emphasizing their loyalty to their Underholds and Pack-Clans which form one of the central pillars of their societies.
* TheNoseKnows: Because they are sapient Canines, Diamond Dogs places a lot of emphasis on scents. A Diamond Dog could tell their kin and how close they are to them by their smells, and 'scent-ties' apparently informs a lot of their social-interactions.
* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: The civilized Diamond Dogs of Diamondia and elsewhere takes a lot of inspiration from the Dwarves of many Fantasy settings. This is [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/846620938/4902013507 explained]] to be in part due to the Diamond Dogs noticing and admiring many similarities between their people and the long-vanished 'Antediluvian Dwarves' which once co-existed with 'Antediluvian Humanity' (of which Megann Williams, the Rainbow Empress was one of) and emulating many of their ways with their own civilizations, modified to account for differences between the two races.
* RunningOnAllFours: Diamond Dogs, as per their canon depictions, are semi-quadrupedal/bipedal. While their front paws can use tools and grab objects like an Antediluvian Human or Minotaur, [[CivilizedAnimals it's also used for digging, running and fighting like dogs]], moving with a Gorilla-like gait.
* UltimateBlacksmith: The Diamond Dogs, both mortal and divine, are among some of the greatest metal craft experts and artisans on Equus, similar to their 'Antediluvian Dwarven]]' inspirations.
