* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Medusa was the first gorgon to attend Monster High, and bullied as a result.
* CompetitionFreak: Medusa has been one all her life, be it competing on the casketball court during her high school years or encouraging her son to be number 1. It's implied she became this to compensate for the bullying she suffered as the first gorgon at Monster High.
* GorgeousGorgon: Medusa's a gorgon like her son, and she's attractive enough to fall into MumLooksLikeASister territory.
* OurSirensAreDifferent: Lyra is a siren, and her design seems to take cues from the bird-like sirens of Greek mythology.

[[folder:Catarina Stripe (UNMARKED SPOILERS!)]]
[[quoteright:837:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2023_12_03_at_75943pm.png]]

->'''Voiced By:''' Mary Jane Wells

Toralei's mother, and the current leader of the werebeasts. Also the main villain of season 1, having trapped Clawdeen's mom in Beheme to take the title of werebeast leader for herself.

* AbusiveParents: When we're first introduced to her, she's shown to be highly neglectful of Toralei, berating her for "wasting her time" with her narrowly-averted expulsion hearing. Later episodes show her berating Toralei if she performs below her high standards at school, and by the finale she straight-up attacks her for siding with the Boo Crew over her.
* AllYourPowersCombined: She wields an "all-monsters" talisman that, as the name says, gives her the power of every monster.
* AmbitionIsEvil: Her ambition regarding staying the werebeast leader is depicted in a negative light, as it leads to her trying to take Clawdeen's Moon Claw necklace from her and neglecting her daughter. In the season 1 finale, she outright tries to brainwash other monsters into accepting her rule.

* FantasticRacism: Absolutely ''loathes'' humans, and heavily opposed Selena Wolf's tolerance towards them.
* FauxAffablyEvil: She has a temper that flares up whenever things don't go her way, but she tries to keep it hidden to keep up her "perfect leader of the werebeasts" image.
* KickTheDog: When Clawdeen tries to trade a fake Moon Claw for Selena's diary, Catarina spitefully burns the diary. [[spoiler:Toralei fortunately knew her mother would react this way and conspired with the Boos to switch out the diary with a fake]], but it's still a cruel thing to do.
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: She claims that she trapped Selene in Beheme because of the latter's admiration for humans. When mind-controlling the monster community, she claims that she wants to protect them by banning witchcraft, yetis, and romances between sea-monsters and freshwater-monsters. But seeing as those have more downsides than benefits, it's clear that she just wants to be in control.
* ParentalNeglect: She alternates between ignoring her daughter in favor of work and berating her for wasting her time.
* SlaveToPR: She's got a reputation as dignified leader of the werebeasts to uphold, so she won't throw tantrums in public.
* UnsatisfiableCustomer: She nearly throws a fit in a restaurant over her order not being perfect, but calms down to keep projecting her image of perfection. According to Toralei, it's happened multiple times before, including one time where she burned [[TooDumbToLive a box of fireworks]].
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Werecat in this case. It is unclear what happened to Catarina Stripe after her defeat in the Season 1 finale. All we know is that according to Clawdeen, she and Toralei had a falling out. However, "Mixed Up Meowlody" reveals that she and Torelai have been attending family therapy sessions at the Reform Center for Beasty Baddies, implying that she has been incarcerated there.
* {{Workaholic}}: She prioritizes her duties as werebeast leader so much that she won't give Toralei the time of day.
* WouldHurtAChild: She has no problem sealing the teenage main characters in a cave or attacking them if they get in her way.

* ElementalHairComposition: Like his son, he's got fiery hair, though his is green.
* EveryoneHatesHades: Bits of dialogue in "Scareer Day" imply he's the same Hades from Greek mythology, and he's portrayed as the setting's equivalent to the Devil on top of that.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Has a pretty bad case of this, refusing to listen to others because he believes he's always in the right.
* ParentsAsPeople: He does seem to genuinely love Heath, but his selfish attitude and the terrible things he's done have put a massive strain on their relationship.

* InkSuitActor: Her design is heavily inspired by her voice actor's drag style.

A werefox, and the official assistant to the were-ruler.

* CompanionCube: He has a plush whale named Whaley that he monologues his schemes to.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To Catarina Stripe. Both of them are well-respected figures in werecreature politics, but he's far better at putting up a pleasant facade than she is. Her ultimate plan is to take over the monster world by force, while he prefers using manipulation to achieve his goals. Additionally, while she was only physically introduced late in season 1, he maintains a presence throughout the entirety of season 2.
* EvilChancellor: Turns out to be this; his original intent was to wear Clawdeen down with the annoying minutia of being the were-ruler, even provoking a conflict between two rival territories, but her decision to step down and set up an election suits him just fine.
* FoulFox: He's a werefox and serves as the main villain of season 2.
* HypercompetentSidekick: A justified example; since Clawdeen knows nothing about how were-rulership works, she relies on him quite a bit.
* ManipulativeBastard: His plans involve using his charisma and his shapeshifting powers to manipulate things to his liking behind the scenes.
* NumberTwo: His job is to serve as this to the current were-ruler.
* WalkingSpoiler: His presence spoils Clawdeen becoming the new were-ruler in the season 1 finale.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: He's capable of shapeshifting into other monsters as long as he has their DNA.

Candidates who are running for the wereruler position.

* ADogNamedDog: Bearon is, naturally, a werebear.
* HufflepuffHouse: None of them get much characterization; they're just there to show that Selena, Romulus, and Foxford aren't the only ones interested in becoming the werebeast ruler.
* PunnyName: Bearon's name refers to both his species and his title of baron.
* SitcomArchNemesis: Whiskerine and Whiskerbeth are the mayors of rival towns and always trying to one-up each other.

* TokenGoodTeammate: Buddy turns out to be the nicest of the trio, forming a genuine friendship with Barkimedes and promising not to reveal his secret.

* DisappearedDad: While her mother has been seen onscreen, Toralei apparently doesn't have a dad. [[spoiler:Though given that she now lives with Clawdeen's family after her mother Catarina is defeated, it's likely that her father is dead or otherwise not involved in her life.]]

* RottenRockAndRoll: She's a nasty piece of work and eventually forms her own rock band, the Hissfits.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Werecat in this case. It is unclear what happened to Catarina Stripe after her defeat in the Season 1 finale. All we know is that according to Clawdeen, she and Toralei had a falling out. It is unknown if this means that [[KarmaHoudini she's still free]] but no longer has custody over Toralei or if she has been incarcerated for her crimes.

* BeenThereShapedHistory: In "The Haunted Sandcastle Caper", she imples she was responsible for Amelia Earhart's disappearance.

* ChildhoodFriends: With Twyla, as the two have known each other since [[{{Pun}} grave]] school.

[[quoteright:500:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ezgif_2_5f03a954d1.png]]

->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/DebraWilson

The strict headless headmistress of Monster High.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Downplayed compared to the live-action movie.

* HeadlessHorseman: Naturally, this remains the inspiration for her character.

* ADogNamedDog: Ms. Ziz is a ziz, a creature from Jewish mythology that resembles a griffin.
* AmbiguouslyJewish: Ms. Ziz and Mr. Klopman are both monsters that originated from Jewish mythology, but nothing is said about their religious leanings.
* AuraVision: Ms. Ziz is shown to have this; her eyes glow a rainbow of colors, letting her see the auras of the students.
* BigBeautifulWoman: Ms. Ziz is on the large side and pretty enough to have attracted Dracula during their Monster High days.
* DramaticEllipsis: Ms. Ziz verbally says "dot dot dot" twice in her debut episode, with Bloodgood lampshading it the first time.
* ExactWords: When telling the werebeasts to grab the Klopman Diamond, Ms. Ziz claims it has untold power. When they bring it to her, she reveals that it doesn't have any powers at all -- "the power's untold because there's nothing to tell".

* SecretSecretKeeper: He knows about Clawdeen's werewolf heritage, but waits until she's ready to tell him about it before revealing that he does.

->'''Voiced By:''' Ken Marino

Draculaura's father, a highly important and respected figure in the monster world.

* AgeLift: Due other depictions of the character being conflated with UsefulNotes/VladTepes over the last few decades, most other fiction depicts him as being "only" less than six-hundred years old. His daughter, however, mentions that he's ''4,000'' years old.
* {{Dracula}}: The one and only.
* IHaveThisFriend: When searching for advice on how to deal with Draculaura being a witch, he tells Apollo he's looking for advice for a friend whose daughter got into [[LastSecondWordSwap waterskiing.]]

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Acts friendly and helpful to Clawdeen while secretly trying to drive her away from the were-ruler position.
* CompanionCube: He has a plush whale named Whaley that he monologues his schemes to.
* EvilChancellor: Turns out to be this; his original intent was to wear Clawdeen down with the annoying minutia of being the were-ruler, even provoking a conflict between two rival territories, but her decision to step down and set up an election suits him just fine.
* FoulFox: He's a werefox and serves as the main villain of season 2.

She lets go of this in "Case of the Missing Squeak", when her friends find out and reassure her that she's [[CuteButPsycho both adorable and fierce]].

A werecat and the daughter of Catarina Stripe, the current werebeast leader. As a result, she has a haughty and stuck-up attitude and is hostile towards anything she perceives as a threat to monsters -- especially humans and witches.

* HappilyAdopted: [[spoiler:The last few minutes of the season 1 finale seem to imply that Torelai has been taken in by the Wolf family following her mother's failed attempt at trying to take over the monster world as the latter was most likely incarcerated for her crimes.]]

->'''Voiced By:''' Ken Marino

Draculaura's father, a highly important and respected figure in the monster world.

* AgeLift: Due other depictions of the character being conflated with UsefulNotes/VladTepes over the last few decades, most other fiction depicts him as being "only" less than six-hundred years old. His daughter, however, mentions that he's ''4,000'' years old.
* {{Dracula}}: The one and only.
* IHaveThisFriend: When searching for advice on how to deal with Draculaura being a witch, he tells Apollo he's looking for advice for a friend whose daughter got into [[LastSecondWordSwap waterskiing.]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: Dracula has a developed ego, constantly flattering himself, and doesn't always listen to monsters who aren't saying what he wants to hear.
* ParentsAsPeople: He clearly loves Draculaura and wants her to be safe and happy at Monster High, but his strict adherence to tradition regarding the bans on witchcraft clashes with her secretly practicing it, which puts a strain on their relationship. When she finally tells him she's a witch in "Spell the Beans", he's initially left conflicted about what to do; however, after getting advice from Apollo Wolf, he comes to accept his daughter's interest in witchcraft and promises to try and change the rules so that she doesn't have to hide it anymore.

[[quoteright:837:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2023_12_03_at_75943pm.png]]

->'''Voiced By:''' Mary Jane Wells

Toralei's mother, and the current leader of the werebeasts. Also the main villain of season 1, having trapped Clawdeen's mom in Beheme to take the title of werebeast leader for herself.

* AbusiveParents: When we're first introduced to her, she's shown to be highly neglectful of Toralei, berating her for "wasting her time" with her narrowly-averted expulsion hearing. Later episodes show her berating Toralei if she performs below her high standards at school, and by the finale she straight-up attacks her for siding with the Boo Crew over her.
* AllYourPowersCombined: She wields an "all-monsters" talisman that, as the name says, gives her the power of every monster.
* AmbitionIsEvil: Her ambition regarding staying the werebeast leader is depicted in a negative light, as it leads to her trying to take Clawdeen's Moon Claw necklace from her and neglecting her daughter. In the season 1 finale, she outright tries to brainwash other monsters into accepting her rule.
* BigBad: Of season 1. She's the one who trapped Selena Wolf in Beheme, and in the present day she tries to use the power of the blood moon eclipse to make herself ruler of all monsters.
* FantasticRacism: Absolutely ''loathes'' humans, and heavily opposed Selena Wolf's tolerance towards them.
* FauxAffablyEvil: She has a temper that flares up whenever things don't go her way, but she tries to keep it hidden to keep up her "perfect leader of the werebeasts" image.
* KickTheDog: When Clawdeen tries to trade a fake Moon Claw for Selena's diary, Catarina spitefully burns the diary. [[spoiler:Toralei fortunately knew her mother would react this way and conspired with the Boos to switch out the diary with a fake]], but it's still a cruel thing to do.
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: She claims that she trapped Selene in Beheme because of the latter’s admiration for humans. When mind-controlling the monster community, she claims that she wants to protect them by banning witchcraft, yetis, and romances between sea-monsters and freshwater-monsters. But seeing as those have more downsides than benefits, it’s clear that she just wants to be in control.
* ParentalNeglect: She alternates between ignoring her daughter in favor of work and berating her for wasting her time.
* SlaveToPR: She's got a reputation as dignified leader of the werebeasts to uphold, so she won't throw tantrums in public.
* UnsatisfiableCustomer: She nearly throws a fit in a restaurant over her order not being perfect, but calms down to keep projecting her image of perfection. According to Toralei, it's happened multiple times before, including one time where she burned [[TooDumbToLive a box of fireworks]].
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Werecat in this case. It is unclear what happened to Catarina Stripe after her defeat in the Season 1 finale. All we know is that according to Clawdeen, she and Toralei had a falling out. It is unknown if this means that [[KarmaHoudini she's still free]] but no longer has custody over Toralei or if she has been incarcerated for her crimes.
* {{Workaholic}}: She prioritizes her duties as werebeast leader so much that she won't give Toralei the time of day.
* WouldHurtAChild: She has no problem sealing the teenage main characters in a cave or attacking them if they get in her way.
