* DestinationDefenestration: Does this to Fluttershy over a ''salad'' in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E19PuttingYourHoofDown Putting Your Hoof Down]]". (Yes, he defenestrates both the salad ''and'' Fluttershy.)

* {{Foil}}: While each pet chares a defining trait with thier owner, they also contrast each of the mane six in various ways.
* {{SideKick}}: Many of the pets are frequently shown to work with their owners day-to-day. Lampshaded with the titled episode about them, "Just For Sidekicks".

* DestinationDefenestration: Does this to Fluttershy over a ''salad'' in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E19PuttingYourHoofDown Putting Your Hoof Down]]". (Yes, he defenestrates both the salad AND Fluttershy.)

* TheBusCameBack: Not counting the ''Equestria Girls shorts'', she returns after having a two-season absence in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS9E10GoingToSeed Going to Seed]]".

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: During her very first appearance in "Suited For Success," she's shown to be an EmpathyPet who cares deeply about Rarity, sharing her joy whenever she's happy and trying to comfort her when she's sad. In every appearance since, she's been (with only a few exceptions) a straight-laced example of CatsAreMean.
* TheChewToy: The series loves abusing her; mostly at the hooves of her kind-hearted but sometimes absent-minded owner.

* KillerRabbit: The episode "May the Best Pet Win!" showed that even ''birds of prey'' are afraid of going against her.

* IGotBigger: Despite being a "baby" alligator he spends the entire series without growing a bit. Then comes the TimeSkip of the series finale, where we see he has grown HUGE, big enough that two ponies can ride on him with no problem. Funnily enough, aside from the size increase he looks exactly the same as he did as a "baby." Clearly he's no normal alligator.

* EmpathyPet: Each of the pets shares a defining trait with their owners although with some (like [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Angel]] [[Tsundere Bunny]] with [[ShrinkingViolet Flutter]][[ExtremeDoorMat shy]]) the trait isn't immediately obvious.

* TheSideKick: Many of the pets are frequently shown to work with their owners day-to-day. Lampshaded with the titled episode about them, "Just For Sidekicks".

* OffsetBlink: As well as having beady FishEyes, Gummy frequently blinks each eye independently.

* PurpleEyes: A light shade of purple, with an obvious reptilian design.

* FatCat: While it looks like this is the case and would make sense given her SpoiledBrat characterization, "Sweet and Elite" shows when Opal gets wet that she's actually really skinny, and is just very fluffy.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: It sets in around the show's halfway mark -- his post-Season 4 roles were limited to brief cameos and minor mentions, and after Season 6 he stopped appearing at all.

* OutOfFocus: He made numerous appearances as a supporting character in Spike and Twilight episodes in the first four seasons, generally acting as a {{Foil}} for Spike. His appearances in the show began to grow less frequent afterwards, though, and by season 7 he simply didn't show up anymore.

* PutOnABus: The end of "Tanks for the Memories" has him go into hibernation, burying himself in the dirt. [[TheBusCameBack He reappears without comment in]] "Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?"

A flock of extremely ill-tempered geese brought in to boost Canterlot Castle's security, these geese are the final obstacle Twilight's gang needs to overcome in their break-in and remain part of the castle's security in later episodes.

His appearances in the show begin to grow less frequent afterwards, though, and by the later seasons he simply doesn't show up anymore.

* TypicalCartoonAnimalColors: Real alligators are not that bright of a green. It's made very obvious in "Pinkie Pride" when a scene cuts to Gummy as a real baby alligator, whose hide is a much duller hue.
