** While the above was an act, several comments and his overall attitude towards Sevarius in later episodes show that Xanatos ''does'' have some inherent dislike of Sevarius, as he only puts up with the doctor because he's good at what he does. In this case, he makes clear he did not find Sevarius' over the top MadScientist antics all that amusing, saying he thought he "overplayed the part."

** This episode as a whole is something of an allusion to the 1915 Novella Literature/TheMetamorphosis by Creator/FranzKafka. Derek and the other mutates, like Gregor Samsa, are involuntarily changed into creatures and never get to regain their normal lives, though their fates are not as bleak as what happens to Samsa in that they are at least still alive and eventually gain friends to trust.

Added DiffLines:
* {{Foreshadowing}}: When Xanatos and Sevarius are speaking to each other with Derek in their presence, Sevarius notes that he wasn't able to get any genetic material to create a clone of one to which Xanatos notes in a coded manner "which is the reason '''we don't have one'''," so as to avoid revealing anything to anyone else.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: What Derek, Maggie, and [[TheVoiceless likely Claw]] want. Averted in Fang's case as he likes the new abilities that he has gained from his mutation.

* EvilOldFolks: Dr. Sevarius is shown to be a man with garying hair, age lines on his face, and needing the assistance of a cane to walk. However, this is revealed to only be a disguise used by the doctor to make his death appear more convincing.

Xanatos "is not Snidely Whiplash reincarnate".certainly isn't as one dimensional and unclever as him, but in regards to be any more ethical, is YMMV.

* '''Story Arc''': The Mutates and the Labyrinth.
* '''Characters''': The Manhattan Clan, Elisa Maza, David Xanatos, Owen Burnett, Dr. Anton Sevarius and Derek Maza/Talon and the Mutates
* '''Enemy(ies)''' : Xanatos, Sevarius
Geneticist Doctor Sevarius was hired by Xanatos to create replicas of the Gargoyles, but the mutations he's created are a cross between jungle cats, bats and electric eels. Derek shields Xanatos from an attack and is infected by the Mutate serum, but the Gargoyles raid the facility before Sevarius is complete and he is killed indirectly as a result. [[BlatantLies Though Xanatos will do whatever he can to fix these problems...]]
The Mutates make their next appearance in "The Cage" while Sevarius returns in "Double Jeopardy"

This Episode contains the following Tropes:
* DownerEnding: To say that this wasn't an uplifting episode is putting it very lightly. For one, Maggie Reed, Derek Maza and two other individuals get turned into PettingZooPeople, and the only person who could help them seems to have passed away. If that wasn't bad enough, it is revealed in the last minutes of the episode that Xanatos and Sevarius had orchestrated this operation from the very beginning and that Xanatos has no intention of helping the Mutates regain their human lives.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Xanatos is repulsed to see what Sevarius has done in the name of his company and demands that he reverse the mutation process. Though it is subverted when it is revealed at the very end that Xanatos's outrage was only an act and that he and the mad doctor had planned this situation out well in advance.
* FakingTheDead: Dr. Sevarius does this with the co-operation of Xanatos.
* LargeHam: Dr. Sevarius. This is also lampshaded by Xanatos when Sevarius speaks to him with the former believing that the latter overdramatized his moment of "death".
* ShoutOut: When Elisa and Derek are speaking to each other, the latter protests that Xanatos "is not Snidely Whiplash reincarnate".
