* WiseSerpent:
** Rath has a snake for an AnimalMotif and is TheSmartGuy among the mummies. [[ScienceWizard Not only is he their magical expert, but he is also responsible for developing and maintaining their technology]]. He even owns a magic sword [[SerpentStaff that can transform into a serpent]] that he even uses in combat. His skill in magic is such that he can undo Bast's control over cats and even has the respect of the main villain Scarab for his magical expertise.
** Heka, [[EvilSorcerer Scarab's]] snake {{Familiar}} is likewise presented as much wiser and more rational than her master. Whilst absolutely loyal to him, she is frequently exasperated at the absurdity or flaws in his schemes, and is never short of a witty remark [[ServileSnarker usually at his expense]].

* FormulaBreakingEpisode: "A Dark and Shrieky Night" is unlike other episodes, as the villainous plot and main action are over in the first scenes. We then see what comes afterwards: the mummies get stranded far from the sphinx, so they have to hoof it home, unintentionally scaring those they encounter and getting dogged by police along the way. Presley also doesn't appear.
