4* CatsAreMagic: "Mythical Cats" is about this.
5* DarkerAndEdgier: Compared to the other DK Vision projects, there's a lot more in the way of dark imagery and myths featured. Hell, there aren't any of their signature [[WhiteVoidRoom white backgrounds]].
6* OurSphinxesAreDifferent: Both the Egyptian Sphinx and the Grecian Sphinx are the first featured in "Mythical Cats".
7* {{Medusa}}: One appears in "Man Beasts".
8* NonIndicativeName: It's not just creatures in the conventional sense that are featured, but myths in general, hence episodes with topics like "The Apocalypse" and "The Underworld".
9* RiddlingSphinx: The myth of Oedipus and the Sphinx is mentioned in "Mythical Cats".
10* Satan: The Underworld focuses on hell and shows the devil himself.
11* ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight: Creatures Of The Night focuses on nighttime creatures (i.e. Ghosts, Vampires and Witches.)
