Tyrant Dragon appears in this card's artwork.
Fittingly, one of this monster's effects prevent itself from being targeted by Trap Cards, hence this Trap card's effect alluding to this.
This further is a possible depiction of a third eye, which Tyrant Dragon utilizes to foresee and destroy future threats (Trap Cards in this case).
This card's artwork shares a parallel with the artwork of Dragon Treasure as they both feature a dragon assimilating with some sort of green gemstone.
