* MaybeEverAfter: [[spoilers: Flies off into the sunset with Errol. It's unclear how long it can last in this world without a constant stream of magic, if it will turn into a normal Swamp Dragon without it or possibly just vanish. Vimes expresses uncertainty that the two dragons might have gotten a happy ending, asking, "What happens when the magic fades away?" only for Sybil to point out that humans seem to get along fine without it.]]

* DragonsPreferPrincesses: This trope is examined when discussing the dragon's diet; the reason Dragons like to eat members of royal blood isn't just taste, but a display of dominance. Humans are expected to sacrifice the most important members of their species to show just how little they matter to the Dragon in question. This is all explained during a dinner the Dragon is having with Ankh-Morpork's civic leaders, just as they're realizing they're being served [[FatteningUpTheVictim extremely fattening food.]] To save their own necks the various community leaders all decide the closest thing Ankh-Morpork has to a princess would be it's richest woman, Sybil Ramkin.

* SheIsTheKing: [[spoiler: The aforementioned twist under Samus Is A Girl is disguised by the fact that she chooses to call herself King. Possibly a result of her mind being influenced by Wonse, who wanted to be King himself.]]
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: [[spoiler: Is a massive, hulking dragon like you'd see out of a Fairy Tale but winds up falling in love with the puny swamp dragon. They ride off together, their happy relationship mirroring the book's protagonist Sam Vimes forming a similar relationship with Sybil Ramkin.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Despite being hungry "All the time" according to Wonse, the Dragon only eats once a month, as eating is also a display of its power over the humans it rules. When it does eat, it demands to only eat the most important and well-connected members of the city.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Is a classist prick who assigns value to people based on their bloodline and makes it clear he finds the task of making coats of arms for the NouveauRiche to be beneath him. Despite this [[spoiler: he has no interest in putting Captain Carrot on the throne despite him being the man directly descended from kings, in lage part because Carrot would choose to help the underclass than prop up the aristocracy, as well as his romantic connection with the werewolf Angua. He attempts to make Nobby Nobbs the king instead, showing that the worldview he claims to be so devoted to is just an excuse to look down on and belittle others.]]
