* BreakoutCharacter: Kinda, he never came back in the comics but was a villain that impressed durably the readers due to his frightening introduction (just look at the cover of Recap/AsterixAndTheSoothsayer). He was featured in adaptations twice (WesternAnimation/AsterixAndTheBigFight and Film/AsterixAndObelixTakeOnCaesar) despite he [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse disappear]] mid-story from the latter movie, that does not adapt Recap/AsterixAndTheSoothsayer as its main plot. It was like Prolix has to be there, somehow. Also, Demonix/Sulfurix in WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfTheMagicPotion is obviously inpired by him, but made more evil and terryfing.

* MortonsFork: As their captain puts it, if they encounter and get boarded by the Gauls, they'll get beaten up and their ship sunk. So might as well [[BetterToDieThanBeKilled scuttle their own ship]] as it spares them a few knocks and amounts to the same thing in the end anyway.

[[folder: Mannekenpix, Chef of The Titans]]
A Belgian chef famous for his impossibly enormous banquets that no mortal man could possibly finish, as they're meant to be served to giants. Serves as the sixth challenge in ''WesternAnimation/TheTwelveTasksOfAsterix''.
----
* AnachronismStew: The first course he serves is a roast boar with a side of french fries, even though there won't be a potato in Europe for another 1500 years. He claims to have invented the dish himself, but hasn't thought of a good name yet, a historical joke about the fact that french fries actually originate in Belgium rather than France.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Played for a bit of BlackComedy - the veal served as part of the challenge is the offspring of the ox and cow, because "it's wrong to separate a family".
* ExoticEntree: The challenge includes a roasted camel and an elephant, animals most modern people are unlikely to have even seen in person outside zoos, much less eaten.
* MegaMealChallenge: The courses he serves Obelix, which are only meant to be the ''first'' part of the challenge, include a roast boar with fries, a flock of geese, a flock of mutton, a giant omelette made from 8 dozen eggs, a whole school of fish, a whole roast ox, cow and a pair of calves (because to separate a family would be wrong), a mountain of caviar (and a regular piece of toast), a camel, and an ''elephant stuffed with olives!'' Obelix eats every crumb and still wants more.
* {{Pun}}: Likes to make silly puns about each meal, such as the sheep being great for someone who's "hungry like a wolf", and a ''school'' of fish will "teach you what it's like to eat well".
* VillainousBreakdown: While he's only a villain in the sense that he serves as part of Ceasar's challenge and otherwise seems like a decent guy, it still fits; Mannekenpix has a crying breakdown after Obelix completely cleans him out, eating not just the food the viewer is shown, but everything else in the restaurant, driving him out of business.

* AdiposeRex: Much like Vitalstatistix, they're quite fat and in charge of different halves of a village.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Codfix offered Cleverdix's supporters to the Romans as slaves, but Majestix will not have any Gauls be slaves to Romans, even to become chief. Similarly, Cleverdix isn't comfortable with becoming chief after Majestix and his lot are captured, and when Codfix briefly abducts Melodrama, Cleverdix offers his rival his sincere condolences for his current loss.

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Majestix, to the point where it's tempting to say that Cleverdix was the more qualified to be chief of the village, simply because he wasn't dumb enough to have anyone like Codfix as an advisor.
* LesCollaborateurs: Downplayed and ultimately defied. Majestix is extremely reluctant to let the Romans solve the dispute between him and Cleverdix, only agreeing when Codfix reassures him that the Romans won't trouble the village beyond that. When he learns that the Romans want Cleverdix and his supporters as slaves, though, he is ''outraged'' and goes back on the deal.
* OldFriend: Cleverdix served alongside Vitalstatistix in the Battle of Gergovia, and thus doesn't hesitate to call for his aid when he learns of Majestix's plot to get the Romans involved.
* ThisIsMySide: Taken to the extreme! Cleverdix rules the left side of the village while Majestix rules the right side, and neither side is permitted to interact with the other.
