* TheDreaded: Everyone who knows about the Dreen is ''scared shitless'' of them due to their powers over time and know that whenever one shows up, something ''very'' bad is about to happen. Even ''other'' beings from outside of time are afraid of them! [[spoiler:Agatha using Lady Heterodyne's Star's [[TimeStandsStill ability]] on them has their true appearance and character revealed, showing that they're apparently extra-dimensional non-liners beings that are [[{{Expy}} basically]] Jagers in all but name, with all the reputation and fighting skills possessed by Agatha's minions being applied across inter-dimensional beings]]. Small wonder nobody wants to tangle with that combination.

** When Klaus finally returned to Europa from wherever it was that Lucrezia sent him, he found two Dreen awaiting his arrival. They offered to assist him in his conquest of Europa and the establishment of his empire, apparently to repay him for something he would do in the future.

** When Klaus finally returned to Europa from wherever it was that Lucrezia sent him, he found two Dreen awaiting his arrival. They offered to assist him in his conquest of Europa and the establishment of his empire, apparently to repay him for something he would do in the future. [[spoiler:It turns out this was Klaus activating the time bubble around Mechanicsburg, which created a time anomaly big enough to attract the attention of the Dreen's "quarry" to the area, giving them the opportunity to hunt it. In other words, they helped found Klaus' empire solely so he would eventually put himself in a position which would greatly destabilise it in the name of protecting it and himself from Agatha/Lucrezia's control]].



* NoSell: For an as of yet unexplained reason, [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20240410 they are immune]] to the TimeStandsStill effect of Prende's Lantern/Lady Heterodyne's Star.

[[spoiler:Being inter-dimensional beings that don't fully conform to the rules of Agatha's world on their own, the time-stopping ability from the artefact merely brings them more in synch with Agatha's world, allowing [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm their true forms to be perceived]]]].


Added DiffLines:

* NotSoDifferentRemark: More like, ''response''. When finally conversing with them and understanding that the Dreen want Agatha's help to [[spoiler:hunt the inter-dimensional being attracted to the Time Bubble]], Agatha responds incredulously to their odds, with their response all but confirming [[spoiler:they're extra-dimensional [[{{Expy}} equivalents]] of Jaegers]].
-->'''Agatha:''' What? I heard it was ''huge!'' You're planning to kill it? Just the three of you?\\
'''Dreen 1:''' Heh Heh.\\
'''Dreen 2:''' Ho Ho.\\
'''Dreen 3:''' Hee Hee.\\

* GhostlyGlide: They seem to have no feet, and get about by hovering. [[spoiler:Turns out their true forms do, but apparently due to the influence of the "lower dimension" Agatha's world exists in, their appearance becomes modified into their garbed and robed appearance until Agatha uses a [[TimeStandsStill time-stopping]] artifice on them, which causes them to be more "in synch" with the dimension whilst under it's effects]].

* NotSoAboveItAll: From their first appearance up until 2024, they appeared to be weird and spooky even by the setting's high standards for weird and spooky, unsettling everyone around them. [[spoiler:It turns out when on their own, Dreen are just as nuts as everyone else, bickering over shortbread.]]



* MissingMom: For [[spoiler:Gil]], who doesn't know a thing about her, including her ''name''. The novels make it clear that [[spoiler:Klaus]] mentioning her when he's hospitalized is the first time he's ever said anything about the subject ever.

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: This is actually what makes him insane. Othar is unable to comprehend that Klaus isn't the villain. Even back in the day, Klaus sometimes thought the Heterodyne boys were too forgiving, but was never the TokenEvilTeammate. Klaus may be a tyrant, but his rule is much freer and safer than the anarchy that came before it.
