* In the graphic novel, there's the visual of Winter slogging through the rainforest, hating it with every fiber of his being.
** Also in the graphic novel is the way [[TheGadfly Qibli]] indirectly mocks Scarlet and her dramatic [[ItsAllAboutMe belly-aching]] while they're listening in on her.
** Hailstorm being conflicted over the memories created by his two year absence? Sobering. Him banging his head on a tree as though the memories were [[EarWorm a catchy song stuck in his head]]? Funny!

* When Morrorseer offers Starflight some carrion to eat, Starflight goes into [[{{Technobabble}} a long explanation on how he's not adapted for eating carrion like the other nightwings on their island]]. Morrorseer, the big bad scary cryptic stoic antagonist, [[NotSoStoic gives him a thousand yard stare]], then casually remarks he now knows how Starflight's father is [[LikeFatherLikeSon because only]] ''[[LikeFatherLikeSon he]]'' [[LikeFatherLikeSon would talk like that]].

* Another funny moment in the graphic novel is Sunny witnessing the rainwings' meager abilities to use a spear. One looks at theirs in confusion, another practices using it ''while pointing the wrong end'', and a third so happily uses it to chase butterflies.
* When Sunny tries to leave a threatening message for the nightwings to turn back, they so easily think it's a message from a mythical figure called "The Darkstalker". There's something so comical about how they think [[ThePollyanna Sunny]], of all dragons, is their equivalent of the boogeyman. [[DramaticIrony This could not be further from the truth]].

* The Wingwatcher's Guide to Dragons notes that since no one ever reported a [[ActualPacifist Rainwing]] attack, they must be the deadliest type of dragons who never leave any survivors
* A bit of morbid comedy: Mushroom runs away with treasure and is chased after by Queen Scarlet. One of the others says that they hope she bites his head off. Anybody who read the Dragonet Prophecy can tell you that's exactly what happened.

* It can't be emphasized enough how easily the skywings knew the fake dragonets were imposters: Squid is such a whiny, wimpy, sniveling coward that one skywing (who was scarred by Tsunami) '''knows''' he's ''[[CowardlyLion nothing]]'' like the brave and violent [[ActionGirl Tsunami]].
