* BadassLongcoat: [[spoiler: Gary Dill, Jared and Vikki`s boss]] wears one in book two.

** Jared goes through his own after [[spoiler: he defeats the first Precursor creature and sees Vikki laying on the ground, freed from being a soulgem but unconscious and dangerously cold. It isn`t until he`s informed that Vikki is okay that he starts to calm down.]]

* MagicPants: Averted, as Jared, [[spoiler: Vikki and Ryan Bellcamp]] don`t have any clothing on after they transform to the dragon form. They also have nothing on after shifting back to their original appearances. Thankfully, nothing graphic is shown in either case.

* ButtMonkey: Out of all the kangaroos (and other species) in the comic, Jared is the most likely to have a joke play out at his expense.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Corned beef for Jared. It`s such a favorite of his, that eating one puts his mind in a state of LotusEaterMachine quality.

* BaitAndSwitch: Early in the comic, Jared and Vikki stop by at a drive-thru for some fast food. At first, it looks as though the duo are ordering at McDonald`s (due to the M arch and the million served sign). However, it`s revealed to the audience and Vikki that the place is really McDonegal`s, a place that sells the best Irish fast food in town (according to Jared).

* DudeNotFunny: Vikki`s reaction to Jared`s joke of [[spoiler: pretending to run into something dangerous when he first enters Dr. Von Harris`s mansion while she was waiting outside.]]

* WhyCouldn`tYouBeDiffrent?: Based on Jared`s reaction to his parents visiting him in the hospital and berating him for not following their high class, snobby lifestyle, it`s pretty obvious he experienced a lot of this trope in his life from them. [[spoiler: Even though Jared`s father was actually Kaminovo in disguise, it`s also safe to assume the real Mr. Knight would`ve reacted the same.]]

* WorstNewsJudgementEver: Subverted. After the conclusion to the terrorist crisis at the Ferrington Hospital, the local news crew covering the event learns they didn`t air the story on their station as intended. Instead, they aired a Tori Spelling expy video on their network, thanks to a new interns incompetence. The trope is later averted, since the same news crew finally end up reporting the hospital story in book twos epilogue.

* MistakenForTerrorist: Gary and Mrs. Knight end up being accidentally labeled as terrorists who carried out an attack on a local hospital [[spoiler:(when in reality it was Kaminovo)]]. The Feds who respond are determined to gun them down, forcing Gary to improvise on an escape plan.

* LionsAndTigersAndHumansOhMy!: The majority of the cast is made up of anthro animals, with humans (who don`t even exist in the main characters world) making up the "Oh my!" part of the trope,[[spoiler: as Vikki and Jared`s reactions indicate when they first get a glimpse of the species in pages 693 and 792 respectively.]]

* LotusEaterMachine: Early at one point in the story, Jared`s dragon essence takes over the kangaroos body and speaks for him, prompting Vikki to ask where the real Jared is. It`s revealed via. a thought bubble that Jared is happily enjoying a corned beef sandwich elsewhere (which he considers a definition of heaven in general).
