* SnakesAreSinister: Averted with Snake and Puff Adder, who are both pleasant to everyone around them despite being their respective species.

It only took Camal's advice after saving Puff Adder to make the latter [[DefrostingIceKing mellow out from his cold behavior]] and become openly friendly to everyone else.
