** In a non-villainous example, Dallben claims that his home will be consumed with magical fire if he is killed, along with anyone foolish enough to kill him. [[spoiler:He may have been bluffing about this; we never actually find out either way.]]

* LeftForDead: Happens to Gwydion with surprising regularity, usually allowing him to go off and do something even more badass than Taran's group is doing elsewhere.

* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: The outlaw Dorath threatens to rape Princess Eilonwy and have her raped by his fellow brigands, and release her "when [she] shall be fitting company for pig-keepers." Subverted slightly in that Dorath never states precisely what it is he intends to do to her; he says instead that "perhaps [Taran] will even recognize [her] charms, whatever may be left of them." The dialogue is written just vague enough that the book's younger readers only know that Eilonwy is in danger, without knowing the specifics that might traumatize them. [[LateToThePunchline Older readers can ferret out Dorath's meaning for themselves, as Eilonwy did.]] It ''is'' possible that [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation he had something else in mind]], however.

*** The above incident is doubly justified in that it occurs quite early on when Gurgi has only just met Taran and has no idea whether Taran will defend him (or even if he *can* defend him) or abandon him, especially given how Taran first treats him.

* ComingOfAgeStory: Well, the whole series, but especially the fourth book, which is pretty obviously the turning point where Taran [[TookALevelInBadass finally takes his long-overdue levels in badass.]]
