* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Last two in this case, but when Dinky lists all the different things that have attacked Ponyville she lists an ancient evil alicorn, the god of chaos, a three-headed dog, a swarm of bugs that eat anything, changelings, a greedy birthday dragon, [[NoodleIncident the CMC and that one time Pinkie Pie got drunk]].

-->'''Derpy:''' [[spoiler: (to the captured Dawn Crusader) Ok bub, listen up. It's past my daughter's bed time. She has school tomorrow. I have work. And I'm a '''very''' angry mare who is ready to kick your flank across the sea if you don't tell me what I need to know. (activates her electric gauntlet) This right here? This gauntlet can produce over 8,000 volts of electric death. So, the one question you need to answer is... (meanwhile Dawn Crusaders [[OhCrap eyes widen out of fear]]) [[ImpliedDeathThreat How long will it take for your balls to pop like balloons?]]]]

* CasualDangerDialog: [[spoiler:After Luna puts all the drugged werewolves to sleep, she asks Vinyl's group why the werewolves were trying to kill her, affectionately referring to them as "My Little Puppies".]]

* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Vampires usually avoid making friends so they won't have to deal with the hurt of losing them when they eventually pass away. Vinyl is an exception because she hates being alone, but it also means she has mourned many dead friends over her immortal life. According to [[https://www.deviantart.com/rated-r-ponystar/art/Adapting-To-Night-Question-4-819864257 Word Of God]], vampires can choose to simply kill themselves with a method called "letting go" if they ever find themselves in such a state once they hit at least 500 years of age.
