Noteworthy for the first appearances of [[DisappearedDad Daren Do]], [[BadassAdorable Rayback]], [[TheStoner Ghoul S. Daschund]], [[ButtMonkey Professor Ed]] and [[IronLady Masra]], as well as a rare incidence of [[spoiler: Ahuizotl seeking assistance from [[TheManBehindTheMan a more powerful enemy]], rather than [[HijackedByGanon manipulating lesser ones]]]]. The story follows up the cliffhanger of ''Griffon's Goblet'', in which Daring learned that her father was still alive.

17	!! ''Daring Do and the Curse of the Yeti'' provides examples of;
18
19	* AnythingButThat: Daring's reaction to Ahuizotl's plan to stuff her in the staff room fridge:
20	-->'''Daring''': NO! Please! Not the fridge! Not the fridge, it's disgusting! Please Ahuizotl, I'm begging you, if Celestia gave you an ounce of mercy, put me in any death trap you want, but please don't put me in that fridge!!!
21	* AscendedExtra: As in ''Griffon's Goblet'', Herpy appears briefly during the attack on the University and attempts to help Daring hide.
22	* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: The third one.
23	* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: After taking control of the University with the Yetis, Ahuizotl puts Daring in his most fiendish DeathTrap yet: the University staff room's filthy refrigerator.
24	* EldritchAbomination: [[spoiler: The Great Intellect, the only monster from the Core 16 to qualify.]]
25	* [[DieHardOnAnX Fly Hard On An X]]: The Yeti attack on the University.
26	* {{Foreshadowing}}: Ahuizotl briefly mentions the Tenochlitan Basin, it would have at least tangential connections in his later appearances.
27	* IOweYouMyLife: Rayback does this with Daren, Daring and Tabula at various points, citing a "Noble Dragon's Code".
28	* ItsAllMyFault: Daring reveals that she feels this way about the death of her childhood friend Zapapple Tock:
29	* [[KarmaHoudini Karma Hoofdini]]: [[spoiler:Ahuizotl, as usual, but also the Great Intellect.]]
30	* TheManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler: The Great Intellect, who provides the Yeti in support of Ahuizotl's plans.]]
31	* MyGreatestFailure: Daring brings up the death of Zapapple Tock in conversation with Daren, who tries to persuade her not to blame herself.
32	-->'''Daring:''' If I hadn't left for a moment...\
33	'''Daren:''' There would have been nothing you could have done; you would both have been killed. And there was no way you could have known.
34	* NoodleIncident:
35	** From Daring's opening lecture, "...and that is why you do not want to make Seaponies angry." This may have been explained in ''Trident of the Seaponies'', but Yearling has yet to confirm it.
36	** Ghoul's adventures, told in ''[[Film/TheRumDiary The Cider Diary]]'' are brought up for the first time in minimal detail.
37	* RunningGag: Rayback swearing servitude to everypony who saves his life in some fashion.
38	* ScienceMarchesOn: In hindsight, one wonders why Rayback was unable to bite through his chains and escape before Daring arrived.
39	* TheXOfY: The first book to follow this pattern.
