A third season of Drawga -- simply called ''Drawga: The All-New Season'' premiered in 2019, in which the now older members of the LBC set out to join a prestigious AdventureGuild to become "Verified Knights." Episodes are now more self-contained, contain live-action "gameshow" segments, and features a SpecialGuest judge OnceAnEpisode who rates the artists work. However, the season would be CutShort after only five episodes had been released on Youtube, as Website/CollegeHumor lost its financial support from parent company IAC. The remaining episodes (and uncensored versions of those released) would not be uploaded to ''Youtube'' until December 2020-January 2021, sometime after WebVideo/{{Drawfee}} had gone on to reinvigorate itself as an independent show. Season Three was then announced to be the last.

** The {{Prequel}} comic reveals Legzi's dad to have been a FantasyForbiddingFather who ''insisted'' that his daughter joined the family business regardless of what she wanted, and became partially responsible for a traffic accident with a considerable body count. Though he TookALevelInKindness later.
** Season Three has Ludvig Vindersal -- the head of [=QuestLy=] -- who barely pays his employees and supports Allon Pihs, a [[StealingTheCredit credit-stealing]] GloryHound who [[HuntingTheMostDangerousGame flat-out kills several of his workers for sport.]] To say nothing of the demonic Allhands, who is basically a very literal AnthropomorphicPersonification of the concept of "soul-sucking capitalism."

* ALittleBitBeastly: Rah'ōxah's fursonapple basically transforms her into an outright TalkingAnimal with some humanoid traits, but the spell gradually wears off, making her more anthropomorphized. By the end of the episode she's almost back to normal, the only holdovers being a pair of pointier-than-normal ears and a tail.



* BeastMode: While preparing to fight the Ice Dragon, Rah'ōxah takes a bite out of the Fursonapple, forgetting that it would transform her into an antropomorphic animal, which turns out to be a fox. As awesome as the name "Rox the Fox" sounds, it leaves her incapable of punching anyone, and -- as far as she's concerned -- [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsCeartAnyway pretty useless as a result.]]
