* KickTheSonOfABitch: He kills Zz'dtri by breaking his neck after he realizes that the Order of the Stick will be more helpful towards him in reaching the dwarvern homelands. Since Zz'dtri enjoyed turning people into stone and was willing to kill his own comrade to save his own skin....

* CharmPerson: Charm Elan with one of their eyestalks in order to trap the others. Later charms Mr. Scruffy into attacking Belkar. An attempt on Vaarsuvius is foiled by ''mind blank'', however.

** In a later strip, she answers the question of how long she'd been working with Serini (7 years) by sprouting two more fingers on her left hand, to Haley's disgust.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Standard ''D&D'' mimics can only typically take the shape of inanimate objects. Mimi can fully turn into a functional humanoid form, no doubt to ease up her movement and interactions with the Order.

* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Her main shtick as a mimic, of course. She's first seen blocking the escape route of the Order by mimicking stone over a cave entrace. She seems to be smarter and more advanced than your typical mimic, even able to take a humanoid form.

* TailSlap: Even pinned down by Bloodfeast, Calder's tail proves long enough to reach Sunny, and strong enough to knock out the beholder by sending them bounce against a wall.

* RemovedAchillesHeel: By his own words, Calder has managed to rid himself of the vulnerability to cold damage that red dragons like him usually suffer from, possibly through the Suppress Weakness/Overcome Weakness Monstrous Feats from the ''Draconomicon''.

* AssholeVictim: His fate of suffering through an AndIMustScream situation is legitimately awful...but one has to remember that he was and still is, an evil red dragon who once controlled an entire cult of brainwashed people and attempts to kill the Order just because they weren't servile enough.

The Adaptational Badass Quote does not really apply to Calder, his capabilities are perfectly in line with the Oldest Categories of a Red Dragon, who count as 17th level Sorcerers at the Wyrm stage.


* AdaptationalBadass: Calder has abilities beyond what typical red dragons are capable of. [[CharmPerson He is highly proficient at mind control,]] [[NoSell no longer has a weakness to cold damage,]] [[YinYangBomb and can cast a cold-based spell.]] How he augmented himself is unknown, but the most likely explanation is that he has taken literal class levels at some point. Given that ''polar ray'' is a 8th level spell that requires at least a level 15 wizard or level 16 sorcerer to cast, [[FromBadToWorse this turns Calder into a significant problem just before the finish line.]]
