* MundaneUtility: Billy uses his fire breath to do lots of mundane stuff, from heating up Bunsen burners and Pop-tarts to burning logs in a fireplace.
Added DiffLines:
* PublicDomainCharacter: Several characters (including Nephilim, etc.) from Literature/TheBible, as well as that from Myth/ArthurianLegend. A backstory on how the last dragons were hidden involved Myth/{{Merlin}}'s "magic" (though it is not expressed as such), and even one of the major characters, [[spoiler:Billy, is the second coming of Myth/KingArthur]].
Added DiffLines:
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: Averted hard with Billy and Bonnie's dragon powers. The former has fire breath and ''does not'' have fireproofing himself. He constantly feels his mouth burn and drinks lots of water and soda to keep the heat down. The latter has large dragon wings (with no {{Hammerspace}}) and must wear a large backpack to hide them, frequently arousing concern. Also note that Bonnie is still a clumsy flier, though she improves over the series.
Added DiffLines:
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Many throughout the series. A few notable examples:
** Having powers of dragons without the RequiredSecondaryPowers comes with its drawbacks. In the beginning, Billy is not immune to his own fire-breathing power, which he literally has to squelch with large amounts of water and soda, which helps kick-start the plot in action when he has to use the bathroom after consuming too much fluid.
** Bonnie has [[WingedHumanoid large dragon wings]]. They are very hard to hide and require a large backpack to do so. The book also hints that she is a clumsy flier, often unable to get away by getting off the ground, because wings were simply not designed for humans. Even when she was able to carry Billy up in the air, it was quite a struggle to do so.
** ''Raising Dragons'' also recognizes the dangers of parachuting at a low altitude, and with two people using one parachute. While all parachutes successfully deployed, nearly everyone still got injured -- and possibly would have been ''killed'' had the trees not softened their landing.
** In ''The Candlestone'', Billy [[spoiler:ends up killing his kidnapper Palin, who was about to ''kill'' him]]. Even though it was in self-defense, and against a monster that tried to kill his family and friends, did he feel great about it? No. After the fight he felt very ill, weeping heavily. After all, he still ''killed'' a man, and in a [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath rather grotesque]] way as well.
** And in a similar sense, Billy's battle with [[spoiler:Palin himself. Billy used a breath of fire to ignite some gasoline. Palin used a shield to protect himself from the flames, but his exposed legs and arm still got roasted, and soon he collapsed and died from the burns, defying ConvectionSchmonvection]]. Turns out [[LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe a medieval-era shield]] [[ShieldsAreUseless will NOT]] protect you from a roaring wall of fire.
