* MamaBear: Double subverted with the black dragon. She seems to show her motherly side when the egg starts to hatch, but becomes vicious once it turns out the baby is not hers. Played straight with the giant bumblebee mother who shows up and roars the dragon into submission when the dragon tries to eat the bumblebee's baby and Sylvia.

** Lord Hater is also less goofy and comedic than he is in later episodes, and is actually portrayed as a threat. Later episodes see him reduced to a more comedic role.

** Having [[MamaBear parental instincts]] isn't weakness, but an indication of a good person, and can even bring out the best in someone.



* BothSidesHaveAPoint: On one hand, Wander finds himself desperately calling to Sylvia, admitting that since the monster is ''not'' the egg's mother, it's simply an [[AlwaysChaoticEvil evil monster]]. On the other hand, Sylvia admits to Wander that although she was reluctant, being a mother-figure to the egg changed her for the better.



* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The egg losing its bright glow after Sylvia roughly thrusts it into its nest bears a passing resemblance to a miscarriage.

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: The black dragon is a bestial sort. Seemingly, Wander figures it's only attacking them because it's the mother of the egg they're returning to the nest and will mellow out as soon as its young hatches. Nope! The baby inside the egg doesn't belong to it at all, and it even decides to make the baby its next meal.
