* ReluctantMonster: Cledwyn the Dragon in ''Rupert and the Knight'' is very friendly and has gone into hiding to try and hide from everyone who fears him.

* CatchPhrase: The Professor's "Think of the possibilities!"

* Instead of having the same large team or ensemble of friends in every episode, Rupert's friends took turns individually being the sidekick on each adventure, each of whom had a unique relationship with him (i.e., Gregory was shy and timid but wanted to be as brave as Rupert, Edward was overly cautious and ''didn't'' want to be as brave as Rupert (Rupert never let him get away with that), Bill was just as brave as his best friend but would avoid any situation where it was necessary if he had the chance, and Ottoline could be too adventurous even for Rupert's taste!);
