Examples should not refer to the page image, because it might get changed and nobody remember to update the example. That goes double for referring to the page image on a completely different page. And there\'s no point talking about a \"former page image\".

* OurTrollsAreDifferent: Unlike her dragons, Ursula's trolls are all from the same mold, though very different from most other interpretations. Distant relatives of billy goats, they look like a combination of said ungulate with a giant frog; they are playful, friendly, nocturnal, and incidentally carnivorous, though they seem to eat only goats. They have a simple language that consists of variations on the word "Graah!" and can understand, but not replicate, human speech.

* FunnyAnimal: Particularly weird ones, like wombats, hyenas, coelacanths, snails...
* FunnyBackgroundEvent
* InnBetweenTheWorlds: She briefly wrote and illustrated stories of a brothel between the worlds called The House of Red Fireflies.
* MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext: Many of her works are pretty weird. And often as not, her explanation is "I don't know either" or "I just paint the things, I don't have to know what they ''mean''".
* MoodWhiplash: She has a very humourous style, and uses it even when describing very traumatic events.
* NotEvilJustMisunderstood
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Not only that, but every kind of dragon she draws seems to have different physical and mental attributes from the others.
