* ClingyJealousGirl: The main comic starts out with Jess killing one of Drake's ex-girlfriends, but she was kind-of threatening to eat her. Dido was homicidally possessive of Lan in the early comics, though she later arranged for him to marry another eight pookas.



* DivineLineage: Lan's grandfather is Hades, hence why he can reanimate the dead. [[spoiler: And he ends up inheriting the job in the sequel.]]
* ExoticExtendedMarriage: Pookas practice polygyny to care for widows. As Lan finds out after he liberates a pooka farm and finds himself with eight more wives than he had before.



* OurDragonsAreDifferent: The Fiveclaws are mostly humanoid, though more traditional European dragons appear from time-to-time.



* OutOfFocus: The strip started out oriented more towards Drake and Jess, but as it progressed the focus shifted more to Drake's siblings Lan, Warmwind and Summer (mostly Lan.)

* AuthorAvatar: Jess and Drake were based slightly on J. Riley and her husband.
* {{Crossover}}: Recurring with ''Webcomic/MagicalMisfits''.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Lan's birth mother was a human demigoddess and his father was a pooka. While Drake and Jess have three kids who combine human and dragon traits.
* HappilyAdopted: Skye and Spencer consider Lan just as much their child as any of their biological ones, and Skye is his first thought when someone mentions his mother.
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: Pookas have litters, and Lan found himself married to nine of them. His kids number in the dozens. Though Boo was the only one of her litter to survive and she was an only child for a while, it was a bit of an adjustment when her first half-siblings were born.
* {{Necromancer}}: Lan (and a few of his progeny), is a necromancer. But he gives most of his zombies free will and their old souls, choosing to view their reanimation as a second chance.
* OutnumberedSibling: Summer has three older brothers and no sisters. Whereas Lan's son Montigo (Summer's nephew) was the only buck in his litter of eight.
