| 20 | Pharaoh Tutankhansetamun is one of the main protagonists in the series and in the movie. Tutankhensetamun (His nickname is Tutenstein (wordplay on Frankenstein), often shortened to Tut) is a 3,000 year old Egyptian mummy that lives in The International Museum of World History after having been awoken by Cleo and her cat Luxor. Tutankhensetamun died at the age of ten, before being reawakened about three thousand years later by Cleo. |
| 21 | ---- |
| 22 | * AesopAmnesia: Each episode ends with him learning he shouldn't use magic for selfish desires or treat his friends kinder. It never sticks. |
| 23 | * BigEater: Likes his goose and honey cakes and some episodes have him complaining about being hungry and demanding food. One episode had him and Cleo visit Memphis where he scarfed down a bunch of peanut-butter banana sandwiches. |
| 24 | * BlueBlood: Royal, and reminding us at every opportunity. |
| 25 | * BreakTheHaughty: His station makes him very arrogant and high-and-mighty, but in each episode, something happens that breaks through his hubris, causing him to feel genuine remorse for his actions. |
| 26 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "I am all that is!" |
| 27 | * CoolCrown: Fitting for a pharaoh. |
| 28 | * DistinctiveAppearances: In the show Tut is shown as having green skin and a noticeable 'mummy' look to him, this is done so that the audience knows that he is a mummy. But in the show itself, it is completely impossible for this to be what he looks like in universe for several reasons: |
| 29 | *** Numerous people have interacted with him over the course of the series and never realised that he was a mummy. |
| 30 | *** In the episode "Queen for a Day" Cleo had to pretend to be Tut and the only thing remarked upon was the fact that "Tut" looks somewhat bigger. |
| 31 | ** It's entirely possible that Tut can use his sceptre to look like an actual mummy whenever needed, but normally looks like a normal person of Egyptian descent. In fact concept art for the show depicts what Tutankensetamun possibly looks like in universe as it is less obvious that Tutankensetamun is a mummy as he is depicted as being more human in appearance, being shown with his natural tan skin tone instead of the green skin he is currently shown with and the only supernatural thing about him is his eyes which are glowing green. |
| 32 | * EveryoneHasStandards: He may be selfish and bratty, but as we see in "Friends", there are some lines he won't cross, like scaring a movie a theater full of innocent people in order to impress 2 punk kids. He DOES do it, but he feels bad about it. |
| 33 | * FishOutOfTemporalWater: He died over 3,000 years ago, and re-awakens in the 21st century. |
| 34 | * GlowingEyelightsOfUndeath: His pupils and irises are not visible. |
| 35 | * IdleRich: As royalty, he's accustomed to having people do things for him; as such, the act of pulling his own weight seems foreign to him. |
| 36 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While he has flaws, Tut is shown both past and present to truly care about his friends. |
| 37 | ** In "Near Dead Experience" after Cleo falls ill, he tells her ''"Cleo, I will do everything in my power to save you — even risk my own afterlife!"'' |
| 38 | ** He's revealed to have died saving his friend Nepka from being crushed, despite knowing that doing so would result in his own death. |
| 39 | ** The episode "Curse of the Pharaoh" reveals that it's not just his friends that Tut is willing to save but he also willing to save people that he'd consider his enemies such as El Zabkar, who had summoned Ammut out of the fear of the Pharaoh's curse. |
| 40 | %%* TheLancer: Subversion, he's the star. |
| 41 | * LargeHam: Given that he's royalty (and therefore accustomed -- check that, ''expected'' to act all grandiose), this is a given. He ''is'' capable of subtlety, though. |
| 42 | * LastOfHisKind: He is the last remaining pharaoh. |
| 43 | %%* MagicSkirt |
| 44 | * {{Mummy}}: Well, considering that he was prepared for the next life in the custom of high-born society in his country, one shouldn't have expected him to be anything else... |
| 45 | * NephariousPharaoh: Averted. Despite being a bit abrasive, Tut is a good guy... er, boy. |
| 46 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: Pretty much every episode, and sometimes by epic proportions. |
| 47 | * NiceMeanAndInBetween: The Mean to Luxor's Nice and Cleo's In-Between. He's genuinely a selfish brat who usually causes the episode's problem due to his own selfish desires, although he does learn his lesson at the end of each episode and he has his moments of kindness and caring about his friends. |
| 48 | * NotGrowingUpSucks: He died when he was young, forcing him to remain a kid forever. |
| 49 | * PrincessInRags: Or rather prince in this case. |
| 50 | * RoyalBrat: Tutankensetamun comes across as rude and egotistical, but to be fair to him it is understandable as Egyptian pharaohs were believed to be gods, and Tut's rude-side comes out whenever Cleo or Luxor questions his authority and whenever someone else treats him horribly. |

| 56 | * UndeathlyPallor: Due to the effects of the embalming process, his skin is not colored as it would be if he were still alive. However, his face is noticeably paler than the rest of his flesh. |
| 57 | * VitriolicBestBuds: With Cleo; his hubris and recklessness constantly gets on her nerves |

| 64 | A 12-year-old girl who wants to become an Egyptologist, because her father, who is currently missing, is also one. After chasing her cat, Luxor, she accidentally brought Tut back to life. She tends to argue with Tut, complaining about his impulsiveness and outspokenness, but she always does it in a very rude and unceremonious way. Although she actually doesn't feel like it, she is often forced to help Tut set things right, but she would prefer Tut to stay nice and quiet in his sarcophagus all day, because she is afraid someone would find out about him being a living mummy. Most of the time it's very obvious that she doesn't really want to spend time with him, she would rather go skateboarding or hang out with her friend Natasha. Typically, she tries to stop Tutenstein doing the wrong thing but because of her impudence and incomplete explanations, he pays no attention to it. She always has her pocket computer, letting her gain instant access to facts about Egypt. |

| 283 | An Egyptian chancellor to the pharaoh Djoser, probable architect of the step pyramid, and high priest of the sun god Ra at Heliopolis. After his death, he was deified and praised alongside the other gods for his deeds. |
| 284 | ---- |
| 285 | * DeadlyDoctor: In all fairness, he is not aware that medical science has changed (read: improved) in the last two thousand years. |
| 286 | * DeityOfHumanOrigin: Was a human in his life, but after his death he was granted immortality and godhood. |
| 287 | * DeliberateValuesDissonance: According to the ancient Egyptians, diseases were due to the patients being possesed by demons. His cure for Cleo's cold is to mummify her for the afterlife. |
| 288 | * HeroAntagonist: He's a good guy, however his conviction and zealousness is the main conflict of his episode. |
| 289 | * KnightTemplar: Read the other tropes in his profile. |
| 290 | * MagicStaff: One with a snake on it, symbolizing pharmaceutical wisdom. Such staffs were also wielded by other gods, like [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Asclepius]]. |
| 291 | * ObliviouslyEvil: "Evil" is stretching it, but he didn't know that his fanaticism was causing more problems than help. |
| 292 | * RenaissanceMan: Scholar, chancellor, architect, doctor, mage and priest. |
| 293 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Only wanted to cure Cleo of her cold... even though it meant she had to be mummified. |

| 299 | The Egyptian god of earth. |
| 300 | ---- |
| 301 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Pastel green. |
| 302 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Even though he's a NiceGuy, it's still not a wise idea to anger the god of earth. |
| 303 | %%* BigFun |
| 304 | * CoolCrown: While not as impressive as the other gods', it's still fancy-looking. |

| 306 | %%* GentleGiant |
| 307 | * MonochromaticEyes: White. |
| 308 | * ObliviouslyEvil: Again, not evil. However he inadvertantly caused alot of mayhem with his powers in the modern world. |
| 309 | * QuirkyMinibossSquad: In one episode, he teamed up with Sobek and Bes, with the three of them wanting to start a party. However upon seeing statues of the Greeko-Roman gods in the museum, they took this as an insolence towards them and decided to instead crash the party. Fortunately Cleo calmed them down. |

| 316 | |
| 317 | Atum (Atoum) is the Egyptian god of creation and life, said to have made the first humans out of clay. |
| 318 | ---- |
| 319 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: His head is colored aqua. Obviously rams are not colored this way. Possibly justified in that he's a god. |
| 320 | * AnimalMotifs: The ram. Ironically, the ram is not one of his aspects in the original myth. |
| 321 | * CompositeCharacter: He also incorporates some traits and the physical appearance of Khnum. |
| 322 | %%* CoolCrown |
| 323 | * GodIsGood: From what we've seen of him, he's a pretty decent person. |
| 324 | %%* OneShotCharacter |
| 325 | %%* PowerOfCreation |

| 332 | |
| 333 | Sobek (Sebek, Sochet, Sobk, Sobki) is the Egyptian god of the Nile river, associated with pharaonic power, fertility, and military prowess. |
| 334 | ---- |
| 335 | * AnimalMotifs: The Nile crocodile. |
| 336 | * BerserkButton: If you don't pay tribute to him and instead worship other gods, he will smite you with his divine fury. Seeing as the flooding Nile was considered to be a symbol of his wrath and crocodiles are dangerous animals, this is the expected reaction. |
| 337 | %%* BoisterousBruiser |
| 338 | %%* CoolCrown |
| 339 | * DumbMuscle: His dialogue implies this, however given his short screentime and flat character personality it is never truly made clear. |
| 340 | * LizardFolk: Granted he's a humanoid crocodile rather than a lizard, but he still counts. It's worth noting that he's among the few Egyptian gods also depicted with a tail. |
| 341 | * NeverSmileAtACrocodile: Downplayed. As long as you don't anger him, he's a good fellow (if a bit of a braggart). |
| 342 | %%* OneShotCharacter |
| 343 | * QuirkyMinibossSquad: In one episode, he teamed up with Geb and Bes, with the three of them wanting to start a party. However upon seeing statues of the Greeko-Roman gods in the museum, they took this as an insolence towards them and decided to instead crash the party. Fortunately Cleo calmed them down. |

| 347 | [[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hathor_6.png]] |
| 348 | |
| 349 | Hathor (Hut-hor) is the Egyptian goddess of joy, beauty, music and feminine love. |
| 350 | ---- |
| 351 | * AdaptationalModesty: The Hathor here is nowhere near as raunchy and laschivious as her original counterpart. |
| 352 | * AnimalMotifs: The cow, though her bovine traits are downplayed. Besides the ears and horns, one wouldn't figure out the cow is her chief patron animal. Originally, Hathor could shapeshift into a cow and was also depicted with other bovine traits (mostly udders, for... obvious reasons), but due to the show being aimed at kids, they were deemed explicit and thus removed. In the form of Sekhmet, she gains a lion motif instead. |
| 353 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Hathor is the goddess of love and beauty who always comes off as lovely, nice and pretty, but should a pharaoh like Tut be disdained greatly will develop her wrath. |
| 354 | * BerserkButton: Tut being refused to have his pyramid built results in Hathor's rage building up as she shapeshifts into the goddess of war and destruction, Sekhmet. |
| 355 | %%* CatsAreMean: While in the form of Sekhmet. |
| 356 | * HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Averted, this is one trait of her that was omitted. |
| 357 | * TheHedonist: Often seeing drinking, eating grapes, dancing or lying around. However, this is tame compared to the Egyptian myths. |
| 358 | %%* HotGoddess: Is this for the ancient Egyptian pantheon. |
| 359 | %%* LoveGoddess: And this. |
| 360 | %%* PantheraAwesome: As Sekhmet. |

| 367 | |
| 368 | Maat (Ma'at, Ma'et) is the Egyptian goddess of truth, balance, order, harmony, law, morality and justice. She's the one who weights the dead's hearts on her scales before deciding their fate. |
| 369 | ---- |
| 370 | * BerserkButton: Don't criticise her authority... and her sacred ostrich feather accessory. |
| 371 | * CosmicKeystone: The whole of the Egyptian state religion was dedicated to the protection and preservation of Ma'at, otherwise Apep would devour the universe. |
| 372 | %%* FeatherMotif |
| 373 | * HangingJudge: Seeing as her decision determines what your afterlife will be, it's best to say that being on her bad side is not a good idea. |
| 374 | * JudgeJuryAndExecutioner: With Osiris, Thoth and Anubis. |
| 375 | * OrderVersusChaos: Balanced against Apophis. |
| 376 | * ScalesOfJustice: Maat is often shown in helping Osiris and/or Anubis in the weighing of the deceased's heart. This makes sense since the heart is weighed against her feather of truth. She is also one of the oldest examples of this trope. |
| 377 | * WingedHumanoid: Of the "wings attached to arms" variety. |

| 382 | |
| 383 | Bastet (Bast) is the Egyptian goddess of cleanliness, the household and protector of cats. Because of this she gets attracted to Luxor. |
| 384 | ---- |
| 385 | * AnimalMotifs: Cats, obviously. |
| 386 | * AdaptationDyeJob: Bastet is depicted as having the head of a black or gray cat. Here, she's yellow/orange instead. |
| 387 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Like all [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs cats, deities and cat-deities]], she will not harm people as long as she's not angry. |
| 388 | * {{Catchphrase}}: "I would turn you into a mouse and let them have you!" |
| 389 | * CatGirl: The UrExample in mythology. |
| 390 | * CatsAreMean: Threatens to turn Tut into a mouse and let her cats eat him for doing harm (though it was by accident) to Luxor. |
| 391 | * MamaBear: She's very protective of other cats, to the point of referring to all of them as her "babies" and "children". |
| 392 | * MegaNeko: Of the humanoid type. |

| 401 | ---- |
| 402 | * AnimalMotifs: The African lion. |
| 403 | * CatsAreMean: Subverted since her actual appearance in one of season 3's episodes. Her mother Bastet on the other hand... |
| 404 | * HairTriggerTemper: Whereas Hathor is calm and collected, Sekhmet is rage and recklessness personified. |
| 405 | * KingOfBeasts: Or rather, queen. She is a lion ''goddess'' after all. |
| 406 | * MonochromaticEyes: Fiery yellow. |
| 407 | * NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Held titles such as the "Lady of Slaughter" and the "Mistress of Dread". |
| 408 | * PantheraAwesome: Even acts more human-like than Hathor's form of herself. |
| 409 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: [[BerserkButton If you try to question her offerings]]. |
| 410 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Being the goddess of anger and retribution, this is a given. |

| 419 | ---- |
| 420 | * CelestialBody: The white dots on her skin? Those are actually ''all the stars'', with her skin being ''the night sky'' itself. |
| 421 | * OneShotCharacter: She only appears once in the whole series for a quick gag. |
| 422 | * TheSacredDarkness: She's a night goddess and a neutral force of nature. |
| 423 | * StatuesqueStunner: A result of the above. Granted all the Egyptian goddesses qualify for this trope, however seeing as they can use their powers to sizeshift, Nut is the only one to play it straight. |

| 429 | Serket (Serqet, Selket, Selqet) is the Egyptian goddess of nature, animals, medicine and healing from venom/poison. |
| 430 | ---- |
| 431 | * AnimalMotifs: The scorpion. |
| 432 | * AdaptationDyeJob: Here she's shown having blue hair while wearing green clothes and makeup, whereas in the myths she looked like this: [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/60/Serket.svg/220px-Serket.svg.png 1]]. |
| 433 | * CranialEruption: A VisualGag of her headache caused by the scorpion on her head. |
| 434 | * NoNameGiven: She and Nut are never referred to by their names in the series proper. |
| 435 | * OneShotCharacter: Appears only once just to provide a joke. |
| 436 | * ScaryScorpions: The one on Serket's head is stinging her, thus causing her headaches. Ironically, in the original mythology she was immune to it, being the goddess of medicine and antidotes. However, this was most likely intentionally overlooked in order to give an excuse for her appearance as a one-time comic relief character. |

| 445 | * CoolCrown: She is wearing one AND is a decoration for the crowns worn by pharaohs, who themselves also qualify. |

| 509 | * AsianAirhead: She's a bit of a bimbo and [[AmbiguouslyBrown heavily implied to be Asian.]] |
| 510 | * ConsummateLiar: In "The Truth Hurts", it's revealed that she often lies to get what she wants. Cleo sees this and calls her out for it, which leads to them having a falling out. [[LaserGuidedKarma Later on, her lying eventually catches up to her and she ends up getting grounded, along with her computer privileges being confiscated, writing a letter of apology to the school, and being forced to donate her allowance to the museum for three months.]] She later apologizes to Cleo and the two make up. |
