Can't Kill You, Still Need You: Mayor Simmons becomes a huge Dirty Coward when Herman accidentally causes panic at the village, but due to the news of a dragon attracting a lot of tourists having improved the local economy, he ends up begging Uncle St. George not to slay the dragon for the sake of keeping the money coming, and returns everything he took from George to make him abort the dragon slaying.

You Can Talk?: Tillie is surprised when Herman reveals his speech and intelligence, and he explains that he rolled his egg down to a school where he learned how to speak and read by listening to the lessons, and he loved secretly attending those classes until that school closed, Tillie being one of its former students.

Rump Roast: In the ending Mayor Simmons and Wilner are manning a fire-breathing dragon prop at Uncle St. George's castle (feeding its fire through Simmons shoveling coal into the furnace while Wilner works a bellows). Simmons punches Wilner down in response to his teasing, which pushes the bellows too hard causing a huge burst of flame that literally backfires on them.

Laser-Guided Karma: Mayor Simmons essentially steals Uncle St. George's riches for himself pretending that the village needs it due to the poor economy, and in the end he does help the village's economy... by humiliatingly working his butt off at the castle's tourist attraction.

No Antagonist: The main source of conflict stems from the villagers' prejudice towards dragons getting in the way of Tillie and Herman's Interspecies Friendship, since Uncle St. George wishes to slay a dragon but is a Reasonable Authority Figure and Mayor Simmons, while creating some conflict with his manipulations, is too much of a bumbling Dirty Coward to be a considered a genuine Big Bad.

However, Tillie doesn't resent them, explaining that the poor economy of village has been making everyone grumpier.
