When Yzma is being chased by Bees, they briefly take on the shape of a shark. Yzma also tries to use bug spray on them.

When Kuzco fires Yzma, he gives her a pink slip.

Yzma tosses her poison/llama extract-laced drink on to the nearby cactus, which turns into a llama right as Kuzco changes in to a llama as well.

The only way Kuzco was able to survive was by running up with the helps of the bats. The scorpions actually saved their lives.

After Yzma pours her poisoned drink onto a cactus, the cactus turns into a llama in the next visible shot.

Yzma throws her "poisoned" drink into a nearby cactus instead of drinking it. That cactus then turns into a Llama, foreshadowing Kuzco's imminent transformation.
