Pfffft, what an exhaustive list. That's the problem with cliches, everything is a cliche, you can't avoid them. I feel like if you were to try and write a full, interesting lair of lore avoiding this list... I don't know if it's possible. Especially warriors? I feel like that's less of a cliche and more of a common needed job in the world. Hrm, I feel the same about some others, too. Like, how else do you explain a G1 in your lore?
Anyways, this is your daily reminder that cliches in of themselves are not bad :p

Yup, [b]tropes are tools[/b]! There's so much story-telling in the world that basically everything that can be done [i]has[/i] been done, so of course, the same themes will end up popping up again and again. And these themes can be done in new, refreshing ways! Everyone's interpretation is unique and inversions and the like are always interesting to read.
That doesn't mean that we can't make fun of them, however. xD

"Sexy lizard with wings" I giggled a little xD
As for the tropes themselves, I have a few ideas, pardon me if they are already here:
- The Wise and Patient Elder(TM)
- The father who hates his hatchlings, mate and grandparents
- The dragon that was the weakest ever now being the most powerful leader
God I hope nobody gets offended, Im so sorry if its the case lmAO

Plague dragon who moved because they are tired of disease.
Ice dragons that hate cold.
I have a couple of them each in my lair.

In a world where you can be anything... Be nice.
