* WhatTheHellHero: Tydal delivers one to Celestia in chapter 39 when she decides to free Discord. Since Discord was the reason Tydal was encased in stone for 1,500 years and threatened to kill Tydal, his people, and the alicorn sisters, he is rightfully justified and wondering who bringing the chaos god back would be a good idea.

* MoodWhiplash: Chapter 39. Starts just like all the other chapters, with Fluttershy trying to sleep with Twilight and Tydal getting a pet lobster. But when Celestia decides to free Discord, Tydal and her have a huge fight which ends with her snapping that Tydal isn't her father. The OC responds by kicking Celestia and Luna (who is unfairly grouped with Celestia) out of his Keep and sinking it below the waves. Luna then flies off, angry at her sister.

* KidWithTheLeash: Celestia gets Tydal under control by decreeing that he can't kill anyone unless Shining Armor gives him permission. Given that Tydal's first response to any problem tends to be ''incredibly'' violent murder and Shining is the OnlySaneMan this works.


Added DiffLines:

* WillfullyWeak: Early in the story Celestia issues a decree that Tydal can't kill anyone unless Shining Armor approves it. This trope comes into play by merit of the fact that Tydal could easily overpower Celestia and Shining to do what he wants but cares about Celestia enough to comply.
** It's revealed that the Alicorns and Tydal are far more powerful than they look, with their current appearance being them at 1% power. They have to bring it down as they possess enough natural power that existence would break down otherwise, with 40% being the maximum safe power output they are capable of.

** Darkwater Abyss vs. Human Sombra. When the Squad ends up in the Equestria Girls' universe Human Sombra mortally wounds Tydal, causing the War God to unleash his Nightmare Moon-form: Darkwater Abyss, the dark Lord of the Storm, The Sea, and War. He proceeds to brutally take apart Sombra's forces and would have destroyed the world if Sunset hadn't talked him down.


Added DiffLines:

** Tydal has a habit of this, actually. He adopts a baby zebra foal and later adopts Sunset Shimmer as his granddaughter and brings her back to Equestria so she can live with him. Sunset utterly loves the old goat, seeing him as the first being to truly care about her.

* PhysicalGod: Well, yeah.
** Specifically, the Gods have varying 'power levels' ranging from 1% to 100%. 1% is the 'normal' form, and each 10% increase changes their appearance and increases the strength of their magic. It also exaggerates their inherent mental and emotional traits based on what they're gods of. Luna, for instance, is the goddess of the moon and becomes cold and vindictive when in her "10% form" (AKA Nightmare Moon). Celestia, goddess of the sun, becomes hot-tempered and spiteful.
