Basic Trope: A reptilian creature with Playing with Fire abilities.
- Straight: A Firedrake, which is able to breathe out fire.
- Exaggerated: A dragon who is a magical pyromancer who knows all forms of fire, including the demon's Hellfire and The Phoenix's flames that has healing properties.
- Downplayed: The Firedrake's only use of its flame is to light up dark areas.
- Justified: The reptilian creatures are based on fiery reptiles from real-life mythology from the region the work takes place in.
- Inverted: An Ice Dragon
- Subverted: What appears to be a Firedrake didn't spout out any flames throughout the battle.
- Double Subverted:...until the last minute, as a sign it Turns Red (really red).
- Parodied: A Smug Snake (who's a literal snake) with a box of matches who doesn't know how to use it properly.
- Zig Zagged: But only during that five second transitional period.
- Averted: Real Life salamanders, which are amphibians, and often aquatic.
- Enforced: ???
- Lampshaded: "Oh, a huge lizard monster. Let me guess, you breathe fire, too?"
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: A wizard uses magic to turn lizards into monsters, but he doesn't give any of them firebreathing abilities, because he thinks they're overdone and a lizard's natural abilities are more interesting.
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: "Why are there so many fire-themed reptiles in this game?"
