2* AngstWhatAngst: Rarity shows this after her failed attempt to lure the dragon out of the cave, caring more about not getting the treasure.
3* BrokenBase: Fans are divided on Rainbow Dash towards Fluttershy. Was she the [[OnlySaneMan only sane mare]] or an insensitive {{Jerkass}}?
4* EnsembleDarkhorse: Again, the Dragon gets this treatment for being one of the most sympathetically portrayed ones (other than Spike and Princess Ember) on the show. He just wants to sleep instead of actually cause any destruction, he actually responds positively to Rarity (until he realizes she's trying to steal from him), he only becomes violent when Rainbow kicks him first, and he ultimately proves to be willing to listen to reason when Fluttershy stands up to him.
5** Aside from sympathetic reasons, a lot of people liked the Dragon simply because he looked a bit like [[Literature/TheHobbit Tolkien's description of Smaug]].
6* HeartwarmingInHindsight: The Dragon ultimately being a JerkWithAHeartOfGold NobleDemon instead of just some one-dimensional monster. As of "Gauntlet of Fire", it turns out that most Dragons are actually similar to him.
7* HilariousInHindsight:
8** Fluttershy is correct in asserting that Spike's not a huge, gigantic, terrifying, enormous, teeth-gnashing, sharp-scale-having, horn-wearing, smoke-snoring, could-eat-a-pony-in-one-bite, totally-all-grown-up dragon. Except later, [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E10SecretOfMyExcess he becomes just that.]]
9** At one point, Fluttershy says, "This is a time for panic!" Pinkie, not listening to her, says, "I'm going to need balloons!" In "It's About Time", she uses balloons to panic.
