Taxidermy Terror | |
| How Droofus The Dragon Lost His Head / int_a74bd88e | comment |
Taxidermy Terror: The king wants Droofus' head because of the impressiveness of having a mounted dragon's head on his castle wall. In the end, the king allows Droofus simply to pretend to be taxidermy. | |

"Eureka!" Moment | |
| How Droofus The Dragon Lost His Head / int_d129e13e | comment |
"Eureka!" Moment: When the farmer's son says that Droofus rests his head by his bed at night, the king gets an idea which all parties find acceptable — he'll pay the farmer if Droofus will agree to stick his head through a hole in the wall on special occasions. He gets his special decoration; Droofus keeps his head. | |

Vegetarian Carnivore | |
| How Droofus The Dragon Lost His Head / int_f9f488b8 | comment |
Vegetarian Carnivore: Droofus is a dragon, but after picking an insect out of a spider's web, he finds he doesn't want to eat it and begins eating the grass instead. This makes him useful to a local farmer, who uses him as a plowhorse, letting him pull up and eat the grass while his tail breaks up the soil. | |

Never Trust a Title | |
| How Droofus The Dragon Lost His Head / int_fb7bc4a8 | comment |
Never Trust a Title: The title seems to indicate a sad ending where the heroes are unable to stop the king from beheading Droofus. Actually, Droofus only "loses his head" in the sense that he has to stick it through a hole in the castle wall occasionally so that it looks like a mounted dragon's head. | |
