Fed up with being short, Tut unleashes a spell to increase his size but, when it backfires, Tut first becomes a giant and then dangerously small. Tut learns to accept who he is - just because his height is small doesn't mean he's lacking.
Tut's tendency to be blunt insults the Ancient Egyptian gods, who cut him off from their protection and his own powers, and leave him vulnerable to the evil serpent Apep.
