*BreathWeapon: Dragons do have a fire gland, but it has largely atrophied as a result of evolution, and so most have it removed to prevent young dragons harming themselves.

to:
*FreudianExcuse: Erin's cynical nature was ultimately revealed to be the result of her rocky relationship with her mother; Rachel subconciously resented that she'd inherited her [[EyesAlwaysShut pronounced squint]], and would berate her more often than praising her. However, after Rachel realised her mistake and began trying to fix things between them, Erin's behaviour has gradually improved.
*GirlsWithMoustaches: Jonas and Beatrix speculate that an evil twin
*HappilyAdopted: Elizabeth, after her family died in the collapse of the Chicago caves.
*HappilyMarried: Sam and Rachel. Arguably also Jonas and Kim; they're not old enough to marry yet, but since they've inadvertantly "bonded" to one another, they're essentially mates in everything but name.
*InterspeciesRomance
*JerkassWithAHeartOfGold: Erin, although she's on the mend.
*AMatchMadeInStockholm: Rachel's sister
*NonhumansLackAttributes: Justified, since they're reptiles.
*OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Natasha. Her real name is [[spoiler: Erin Samus Parrity, as she's Erin from another universe]], but for sake of ease everyone just calls her Natasha.
*OffScreenBreakup: [[spoiler: Erin and David, in a recent storyline. According to Erin, it was linked to him not being able to see enough of his daughter Beatrix]].
*OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Erin, to the point where her parents suspect she's trying to poison them when she cooks them breakfast.
*OurDragonsAreDifferent: Most of the dragons in Dragon City cannot breathe fire, have pointed tongues, stand on two legs, and are similarly-sized as, although slightly larger than,
*OverprotectiveDad: Sam and Dr. McCrockagan both have shades of this.
*ParentalAbandonment/RaisedByGrandparents: Sam's parents couldn't afford to care for both him and his twin sister April, so Sam was left in the care of his aunt Clarice - who actually suggested the idea since she wanted a child of her own - who ended up [[RaisedByGrandparents raising him]]. As a result, Sam hates his parents, and tells most people [[IHaveNoSon that they're dead]].
*ParentsKnowTheirChildren: Beatrix attempts to test this by swapping places with her alternate universe counterpart, however, since her and her mother's counterparts are way more affectionate towards one another in that universe, she is discovered immediately.
*PleaseDontLeaveMe: As a result of inadvertantly "bonding", Jonas and Kim end up depressed if separated from one another. Their parents resolve this by having them spend a couple of weeks in the same house until they're able to wean themselves off one another.
*Retcon:
**Rewrite: In earlier comics, the male dragons wore loincloths as clothing. This soon got replaced by regular clothing after a reader pointed out they wouldn't be very useful when the dragon was in flight.
*SelfDeprecation: Occasionally, characters in the comic snark about the quality of the art.
*ShoutOut: To Peanuts in a Halloween comic, and the most recent arc is heavily inspired by BackToTheFuture.
*SmellsSexy: How dragons "bond" with one another. Over time, a couple will become used to the scent of their mate, and eventually they'll become only able to respond to that other dragon.
*TakeThat: A few, mostly directed against Twilight.
*TimeSkip: Over the five years Sam spent in jail for eating human hobos.
*TrappedInAnotherWorld: [[spoiler: Natasha a.k.a. Erin Parrity]], as a result of testing a machine built by her world's counterpart of Dr. McCrockagan. Unfortunately, the Dr. McCrockagan of this world hadn't built the machine, leaving her stranded until he was able to construct it. Upon return, she discovered that she'd been declared dead, so she decided to remain in the other world where she had a new identity. She still goes "home" to her family on weekends, though.
