!! The film contains the following tropes:
* BittersweetEnding: In the end, El El is defeated and Davin becomes the rightful King, but Galgameth dies by wading into the ocean.
* BulletSeed: Galgameth catches a cannon ball in his teeth, chews it up, and spits the shrapnel back at El El's soldiers.
* ButtBiter: Just as the headsman is about to decapitate Julia, Galgameth chomps down on his butt.
* CardCarryingVillain: When Davin confronts El El about his abuses of power, El El happily admits to oppressing the commoners -- and more to the point doing so in Davin's name -- and gloats to Davin's face about having murdered the king.
* FallenPrincess: Gender-flipped with Davin, who escapes from El El with Galgameth's help and disguises himself as a peasant, falling in with LaResistance.
* ForeignRemake: ''Galgameth'' is a loose remake of the North Korean kaiju film ''Film/{{Pulgasari}}'', following many of the same narrative beats but setting the action in a fictional low-fantasy MedievalEuropeanFantasy kingdom instead of feudal Korea.
* GuardianEntity: Galgameth is said to be the mystical guardian of the royal bloodline of Donnegold, and goes out of his way to protect Davin.
* KillItWithFire: Assuming that having thrown the statuette into the fireplace was what brought Galgameth to life, El El lures Galgameth into a building and sets it ablaze. All this does is give Galgameth a fiery SuperMode that lets him lay waste to El El's troops.
* HeroicSacrifice: Taking Davin captive, El El forces Galgameth to sacrifice himself by wading out into the ocean to rescue the prince.
* LaResistance: The tavern where Davin and Galgy seek shelter happens to be a meeting place for peasants and mercenaries who resent El El's tyrannical rule -- though they believe Davin himself to be responsible. Galgameth turns out to be the budding rebellion's ace in the hole, enabling them to overthrow El El despite lacking numbers and equipment.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Davin is immediately smitten with the barmaid Julia -- who also happens to be a skilled swordswoman.
* MetalMuncher: Galgameth eats metal, growing larger and stronger with each meal. He going from being able to fit in the palm of Davin's hand to a colossal draconic beast by devouring farming implements, weapons, and armor.
* MiracleGroMonster: Galgameth starts out small enough to fit in Prince Davin's hand and looking like a gold-painted [[Film/SonOfGodzilla Minya]], but the more metal he eats the larger and spikier he becomes.
* MisplacedRetribution: Due to El El's tyranny being perpetuated in Prince Davin's name, the peasants believe Davin to be a ruthless tyrant -- leading to him having to disguise his identity as "John".
* NowThatsUsingYourTeeth: While saving Julia from being beheaded, Galgameth catches the executioner's axe between his teeth and eats it.
* TombstoneTeeth: In his smaller form, Galgameth has short but flat teeth nonetheless capable of chewing through metal, though in his larger form they become fangs.
* TookALevelInBadass: Galgameth starts out cute and tiny, but as he grows larger he becomes increasingly monstrous and powerful.
* TheUsurper: El El starts off as a knight in service to King Henryk, but his ambitions lead him to assassinate the king, name himself regent, and rule the kingdom of Donnegold with an iron fist.
