Trivia

 * In RAI, this episode was narrated by Livy in the form of a cut-out puppet theater to Kiko and other Pixie Animals. Comically, Livy revealed in the end that she was mostly talking about the beavers.
 * In RAI, near the beginning Livy was confused when the Big-eared Bear enters to watch the show. She noticed he's the only Pixie Animal able to talk, not to mention his effeminate mannerisms.
 * In 4Kids Lord Darkar was once believed to be a man named Argulus.
 * In Rai, it is revealed by Miss Faragonda that the destruction of Domino was due to Lord Darkar who emerged from the Void at the beginning of Time and was the one who originally sent the Ancestral Witches to seek the Dragon Fire from there, and that after the witches had been defeated the Lord of the Templars of Roccaluce fought Darkar and cast him in a deep sleep of sixteen years.
 * In RAI, Kiko made several paper cut-out dolls of the Winx, the Specialists, the Pixies, and the Pixie pets, then used them as dominos in the end. The cut-out doll of Bloom winks at the camera before the episode finishes.
 * Scenes from this episode, episode 27, 28, 29, 31, 34, 35, 36, 37, 45, 46, 49, 50, 51 and 52 were used for the final Winx special scene "The Shadow Phoenix".
