On pages 316-317, Annabeth and Grover argue over who gets left behind. Percy ended up taking both of them.
Well, Horus had a falcon head, Bast was a cat goddess, and Nekhbet is the vulture goddess. The Egyptians believed that these animals had special powers, and the personality of the god or goddess depended on the animal they stood for, like Anubis had a jackal head, and helps with the Underworld (i guess that's what it's called). Hope this helps!
He had nothing to loose but I'm not sure?? sorry if I am wrong
