* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Alternia is home to dragons. They are telepathic, but blind until maturity. As such, they sense through smell. These dragons are highly intelligent, and can even communicate with the outside world before their egg hatches. Terezi and her Ancestor, Redglare, had one as their lusii; another one shows up among the monster population of Jake's island later on. After Terezi went blind, her unhatched dragon was able to teach her how to "see" using taste and smell instead. They're pure white in most depictions, like all other Alternian monsters, but closeups depict them with dark gray scales.

This causes a new choice to appear in a previous page - and the reader has to enter Terezi's word to continue. Terezi then gives John a list of words she was thinking of in the past so he can jump to various points in the timeline. This opens up more password protected choices in previous pages.
