* PosthumousCharacter: She has been dead for millennia at the start of the first book.

!! Gabe Sabry and Sari Hassad
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gabsargbumps.png]]
-> '''Portrayed By:''' Annick Obonsawin and Daniel [=DeSanto=] ([[Series/{{Goosebumps}} TV]])
Two Egyptian-American cousins who repeatedly find themselves getting lost in pyramids and mixed up with ancient curses and mummies being brought back to life.
* TheAce: Sari, big time. She's a straight-A student, is always finding ways to one-up Gabe, and is so competitive that she can literally turn eating breakfast into a contest.
* ButtMonkey: Gabe constantly finds himself being the butt of his uncle and cousin's practical jokes.
* ChekhovsGun: The Summoner, a mummy hand that Gabe keeps as a good luck charm. It seems like a cheap trinket, but ends up being a major plot device in both books.
* ClashingCousins: Sari likes pranking Gabe and Gabe is frustrated by that and by how competitive she is.
* CompetitionFreak: Sari. Gabe says she can even turn breakfast eating into a competition.
* DaddysGirl: Sari. Justified because her mom died when she was young and she only sees her dad during the holidays.
* HiddenDepths: Sari talks a big game, but is actually rather squeamish when it comes to the gory details of mummification. The second book also has a kind of sweet part where she confides to Gabe the reason she is being so annoying is she's worried the whole excavation will turn out to be a bust and Uncle Ben's reputation could be ruined.
* InsufferableGenius: Sari loves flaunting her intelligence to Gabe as well as her pranking him.
* LovableAlphaBitch: Despite being a ProudBeauty AND an InsufferableGenius she has some more endearing qualities, such as her bravery, and helps the three of them get out of danger multiple times.
* MissingMom: Sari's mother died when she was little.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: Gabe's surname comes from the TV version of ''Return of the Mummy''.
* ThePrankster: Sari likes to prank Gabe whenever he visits her.
!! Uncle Ben Hassad
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/uncbenmum.png]]
-> '''Portrayed By:''' Elias Zarou ([[Series/{{Goosebumps}} TV]])
Gabe's uncle, an Egyptian archaeologist who spends his days exploring pyramids. He does serious work, but that doesn't stop him from being a world-class practical joker.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He may have a major knack for jokes, but he knows when to be serious. Particularly when his daughter and nephew get lost in a pyramid.
* CoolUncle: To Gabe, who doesn't hesitate to stay with him when his parents offer - of course, that changes when he hears that Sari is also with him.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Even after being told that Ahmed wants to ''kill and mummify'' Gabe and Sari, he still thinks he can rationally talk things over "as scientist to scientist". Needless to say, the Brotherhood of Man approach doesn't work too well. In the sequel, he's the same way with Nila, partly because he has a crush on her.
* ThePrankster: A trait he shares with his daughter.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Like Dr. Deep, he does his best to protect the children, even if he's useless against the villains.
!! Ahmed
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ahmedcard.jpg]]
A superstitious scientist who takes ancient curses a little too seriously.
* AxCrazy: Anyone who violates the tomb is either ''mummified alive'', or thrown into a flaming tar pit. Not to mention, he seems to REALLY love this job.
* BigBad: Of ''The Curse Of The Mummy's Tomb''.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: His methods are unforgivably horrific, but Ahmed ''does'' try to warn explorers away when he can, and only resorts to murder if they breach the tomb.
* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: The mummies are actually the victims and Ahmed is the one murdering anyone who invades the tomb.
* KarmaHoudini: Other than being scared off by the mummies at the end he basically gets off scot-free. Even more weirdly, he is [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse never heard from or even brought up again]], even in the sequel. You would think one of the characters would say "hey, remember that guy Ahmed who tried to murder us last year"? Or something like that, but no.
* KnightOfCerebus: He's right up there with Mr. Toggle and the Lord High Executioner as one of the darkest villains in the series.
* KnightTemplar: Claims to turn temple intruders into mummies to appease his ancestor's curse. It's not clear if the curse is actually real, but considering this is the ''Goosebumps'' universe...
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When Gabe inadvertently brings all the mummies to life, they threaten to throw him into the tar pit, but he ends up booking it out of the pyramid instead.
* SoftSpokenSadist: He speaks very calmly and quietly, even when informing Gabe and Sari of their imminent deaths.
* TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: He seems pretty normal and nondescript when we first meet him. It becomes clear soon enough that his intentions aren't good, but there's no clue to just ''how'' deranged he is until the end.
* WouldHurtAChild: Even if you're a kid and stumble into the tomb by accident. He even shrugs this off by telling Gabe that plenty of pharaohs died at his age.
!! Princess Nila
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nilamum.png]]
-> '''Portrayed By:''' Afrah Gouda ([[Series/{{Goosebumps}} TV]]); Jennifer Trudung ([[Film/{{Goosebumps}} Film]])
A reporter from the Egyptian newspaper, "The Cairo Sun", Nila befriends Gabe and his family in "Return of The Mummy." In reality, she's actually a thousands year old Egyptian princess who hopes to use the Hassad family as a means to resurrect her brother. A character resembling her appears in a promotional shot for the Goosebumps movie. She's not particularly strong, but the lengths and steps she takes to find her brother are impressive.
* AmbitionIsEvil: Wants to resurrect her brother, Khor-ru, so they can make a comeback and take over Egypt together.
* {{Animorphism}}: Can transform into a scarab, which is somehow connected to her amber pendant.
* BigBad: Of ''Return Of The Mummy''.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: To Gabe and Sari's horror.
* CainAndAbel: Her brother tries to ''strangle'' her after waking up. [[spoiler:Admittedly, it's less out of hatred and jealousy and more because he didn't want to be reanimated by ''anyone''.]]
* FemmeFatale: She uses Uncle Ben's crush on her to gain his trust before knocking him out and stuffing him in a sarcophagus.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She may be a sociopath, but Nila was willing to go to extremes to bring her brother back so they could rule together. She also mentions her mother as the one who named her.
* IncestSubtext: She's driven to resurrect her brother above anything else in order that they can "rule together". It's not elaborated upon since it's a children's book, but considering that Egyptian royalty practiced dynastic incest... and to make matters worse, [[BoyMeetsGhoul Prince Khor-ru is a desiccated corpse by that point]].
* Really700YearsOld: Pretty awkward, considering Gabe's uncle had a crush on her...
* ShapeshifterModeLock: Her ultimate fate, after Gabe smashes her pendant.
* ShootTheShaggyDog: Waits for thousands of years to begin her plan, creates a new identity, manipulates an archaeological dig, harnesses Gabe's power, brings back Khor-ru... only for her brother to want ''nothing'' to do with her, and then gets trapped in scarab form thanks to Gabe's interference. [[spoiler:Though it seems thanks to the movie, she'll get another chance.]]
* SoulJar: Her scarab pendant. It's apparently what allows her to maintain human form.
