| 76 | |
| 77 | The fifteen-day-old (at the beginning of the series) creation of a pair of mad scientists. While they're fairly intelligent (a direct result of their parents cherrypicking from the smartest monsters to create their brain), they have a lot to learn about typical teenager things. |
| 78 | ---- |
| 79 | * AdaptationalGenderIdentity: Goes from a cisgender girl to a nonbinary femme character. |
| 80 | * AdaptationalSexuality: Previous generations had them only be interested in guys, while they have ship tease with Cleo here. |

| 85 | * FashionableAsymmetry: Their default outfit includes a jacket with differently-colored sleeves. |

| 87 | * GoodScarsEvilScars: They've got a number of clean stitches all over their body. |
| 88 | * LiteralMinded: They occasionally have trouble understanding various metaphors, e.g. literally bottling up their emotions (via storing their electricity in a bottle) when Heath brings it up. |

| 90 | * NaiveNewcomer: They've only been around for about two weeks at the start of the series, so they're less familiar with typical teenager stuff than the others. |
| 91 | * PastLifeMemories: They can access the memories of every monster their brain was cobbled together from, though it's not always perfect. |
| 92 | * PowerIncontinence: They don't have full control over their electrical abilities yet, which is especially apparent whenever they're stressed out. |

| 109 | * AdaptationalNiceGuy: In [=G1=] and the live-action movie, she starts out as the school's AlphaBitch before becoming nicer. Here, she's nice from the start. |
| 110 | * AdaptationDyeJob: Her previous incarnations had brown hair with gold streaks and blue eyes; here, she has mixed blue hair and gold eyes. |
| 111 | * AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In previous generations, she was in a long-standing relationship with Deuce. Here, while they did date in the past, they ultimately decided they were BetterAsFriends. |

| 132 | The daughter of a sea nymph and a sea monster, she grew up in a remote castle and dreamed of seeing the world. She's bubbly and sweet, but also prone to more vicious behavior. |

| 144 | * MakingASplash: She can control the moisture in the air to help her breathe on land, as well as make it do various other things. |
| 145 | * RaceLift: Her previous incarnations were at least part-Polynesian, whereas here she's of Honduran descent. |
| 146 | * RelatedInTheAdaptation: In previous adaptations, she and Finnegan were unconnected; here, they're distant cousins. |
| 147 | * ScaryTeeth: She has a mouth full of sharp, shark-like teeth. Her ImageSong suggests they're [[PiranhaProblem piranha teeth]]. |
| 148 | * SpicyLatina: She's of Honduran descent and quite hot-blooded. This gets deconstructed a bit in "Monster Movie", where Lagoona reveals that her family has a history of severe arguments and she's scared of her friends seeing that side of her, so she becomes an ExtremeDoormat StepfordSmiler on her own movie production because she's worried any argument might lead to "the chomps". Twyla eventually convinces her to be truthful, and her friends accept her ideas. |
| 149 | * {{Tsundere}}: She describes herself as the perfect mix of sweet and sour, fierce but also kind. She's got a mouthful of sharp teeth that can filet a fish in a snap of a fin, but she also accepts all monsters regardless of stereotypes. |
| 150 | * UnmanlySecret: The "tough woman" version: she hides her fish toy Señor Squeaky because she's scared that if people knew about about it, she'd lose her ferocious reputation. She lets go of this in "Case of the Missing Squeak", when her friends find out and reassure her that she's [[BadassAdorable both adorable and fierce]]. |

| 161 | * AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In previous generations, he was in a long-standing relationship with Cleo. Here, while they did date in the past, they ultimately decided they were BetterAsFriends. He also doesn't have any of the ShipTease with Clawdeen he did in the live-action movie. |
| 162 | * CuteLittleFangs: He's got a pair of these. |
| 163 | * DisabledInTheAdaptation: He's revealed to have dyslexia in "Vamps Just Wanna Have Fun", which he didn't have in previous generations. |

| 165 | * MundaneUtility: He uses his powers to turn sugar into rock candy for a bake sale. |
| 166 | * NiceGuy: He's a pretty nice guy all around. Apparently, this is in direct defiance of his mother, who told him that "gorgons are never nice". |
| 167 | * PowerIncontinence: As in previous generations, he has to wear sunglasses to keep his petrifying gaze under control. |
| 168 | * ResentfulOutnumberedSibling: He's the youngest of seven and the only boy, and hates that his sisters still treat him like a baby as a result. |
| 169 | * TakenForGranite: He has the ability to turn living beings to stone with a look. The power can also be altered depending on what the beams are reflected through; reflecting them through rock candy makes it so they turn people into rock candy, and reflecting them through Ghoulia's brain-based bread loaf makes it so they can undo petrification. |
| 170 | * WellDoneSonGuy: Deuce wants to make his mother proud, but is conflicted over how to do it. |

| 182 | * AscendedFangirl: She gets to perform with her favorite singer in "Flaunt Your Skeleton", who also gives her advice on how to conquer her stage fright. |
| 183 | * DemotedToExtra: Zig-zagged; she's far more prominent a character than she was in [=G2=], but doesn't quite have the same main character status she had in [=G1=]. |
| 184 | * GamerChick: She's shown to be adept at video games, often carrying around a Nintendo Switch-like handheld console. |
| 185 | * StageFright: In "Flaunt Your Skeleton", she ends up getting a literal case of brain freeze -- whenever she tries to sing on stage, all she can do is moan out "brains". |
| 186 | * SuddenlyVoiced: In [=G1=] she could only speak in moans, while here she can speak normally. |

| 195 | A werecat and the daughter of Catarina Stripe, the current werebeast leader. As a result, she intially has a stuck-up attitude and seeks to get Draculaura kicked out of school for practicing witchcraft; however, she drops this attitude as the series goes on, eventually becoming an ally to the Boo Crew. |
| 196 | ---- |
| 197 | * AdaptationalBadass: A minor example; in [=G1=] she was an awful singer, while here she's the lead singer of her own band. |
| 198 | * AdaptationalNationality: Presumably American in [=G1=], British here. |
| 199 | * AlphaBitch: She's Monster High's resident "bad girl", and tries to run it the way she thinks it should be run. |
| 200 | * {{Blackmail}}: She tries to blackmail Draculaura into dropping out of the head fearleader vote in "Witch Hitch", and previously kept Lagoona at her side by threatening to tell people about Señor Squeaky. |
| 201 | * BlueBlood: She hails from an elite monster family, with her mother Catarina currently acting as the leader of the werebeasts. |
| 202 | * CatsAreMean: She's a werecat and the school's resident AlphaBitch. |
| 203 | * CatGirl: Natch. |
| 204 | * DisappearedDad: While her mother has been seen onscreen, Toralei apparently doesn't have a dad. [[spoiler:The fact that she initally stays with Clawdeen's family after her mother's arrest seems to imply that her father is dead or otherwise not involved in her life.]] |
| 205 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Nasty as she's been, even she's horrified by her mother's attempts to pressure Clawdeen to give up the Moon Claw, an heirloom from her MissingMom. |
| 206 | * FantasticRacism: She ''really'' hates humans and witches, strongly believing they don't belong in the monster world, and she's hellbent on getting Clawdeen (who's half-human) and Draculaura (who's secretly a witch) out of Monster High. She grows out of this belief as season 1 progresses. |
| 207 | * FreudianExcuse: It's heavily implied from her interactions with her mother in "Spell the Beans" that Toralei's determination to be popular and admired are attempts to [[WellDoneSonGuy get Catarina's attention and approval]]. |
| 208 | * HeelFaceTurn: In "Power Heist", she ends up apologizing for her misdeeds and officially joining Clawdeen's group of friends. |
| 209 | * HellBentForLeather: She has a leather jacket, suiting her role as a bully. |
| 210 | * PetTheDog: She ends up keeping Draculaura's status as a witch a secret out of gratitude for keeping her from getting expelled. |
| 211 | * ReformedButNotTamed: While she's a lot nicer than she was at the start of the series, she still retains some of her nastier tendencies. |
| 212 | * RottenRockAndRoll: She's initially a nasty piece of work and eventually forms her own rock band, the Hissfits. |
| 213 | * SourOutsideSadInside: In "Monster High-jinks", she's still reeling from [[spoiler:her mom's betrayal]] and is upset over the fact that she won't be able to come to Family Day, but she initially masks it under her usual snark and insults. |

| 226 | * ChildhoodFriends: With Draculaura, as his dad took him to Dracula's resort for every business conference. |
| 227 | * ElementalHairComposition: Compared to previous generations where it only flamed up when he used his powers, here his hair is fiery 24/7. |
| 228 | * HiddenDepths: He has some knowledge on mental health, working on techniques to keep his anger issues from getting out of control and seeing a therapist regularly. |
| 229 | * HotBlooded: Literally; he's quite passionate in his emotions. |
| 230 | * OrangeBlueContrast: His outfit is largely blue, which contrasts his orange flames. |

| 232 | * PowerIncontinence: Has trouble controlling his fire powers occasionally, like in "Earworm" when he keeps burning the fliers handed to him. |

| 234 | * RichKidTurnedSocialActivist: Heath's father is a wealthy CEO in the Underworld. It was the company's unethical practises and his cold relationship with his father that inspired Heath's passion for protecting the environment. |

| 250 | * HalfHumanHybrid: Like Clawdeen, he is half-human and half-werewolf. |

| 267 | ---- |
| 268 | * AdaptationalJerkass: G1's Howleen could be self-centered and impulsive, but she never stooped to theft and sabotage to get ahead as this Howleen is prone to. That said, she’s still the nicest member of the Wolf Pack. |
| 269 | * AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Howleen was Clawdeen's younger sister in previous generations. Here, they're completely unrelated. |
| 270 | * CanonForeigner: While Romulus and Howleen are re-imaginings of older characters. Barkimedes is completely new to the series. |

| 272 | * {{Jerkass}}: Romulus initially doesn't want Clawdeen as part of the pack because of her half-human heritage, and when it seems that he's changed his mind it turns out that he just wants to steal her moon claw talisman to become the werebeast leader. |

| 601 | * BigGood: She was formerly the leader of the werebeasts, making her this for the werebeasts of the monster world. |
| 602 | * InterspeciesRomance: She, a werewolf, fell in love with Apollo, a human. |
| 603 | * MissingMom: She disappeared when Clawdeen was young, getting trapped in Beheme on a mission for the Monster Council. Fortunately, Clawdeen manages to rescue her in the present day. |

| 614 | |
| 615 | Draculaura's father, a highly important and respected figure in the monster world. |
| 616 | ---- |
| 617 | * 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. |
| 618 | * {{Dracula}}: The one and only. |
| 619 | * 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.]] |
| 620 | * 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. |
| 621 | * 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. |

| 628 | ---- |
| 629 | * CompetitionFreak: In "Vamps Just Wanna Have Fun", it's revealed that she acts like this during the game portion of Family Day, to the point that Bloodgood has to pull her and Medusa (who's also one) aside to pre-emptively tell them not to go overboard. |
| 630 | * PsychicLink: She and Draculaura share one that lets them send each other telepathic messages; apparently, it's a vampire thing. |
| 631 | * SparedByTheAdaptation: In [=G1=], Draculaura's biological mom was deceased, and in [=G2=] she was a complete non-entity. Fang Wei is alive and an active presence in her daughter's life. |

| 666 | * 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. |
| 667 | * GorgeousGorgon: Medusa's a gorgon like her son, and she's attractive enough to fall into MumLooksLikeASister territory. |
| 668 | * OurSirensAreDifferent: Lyra is a siren, and her design seems to take cues from the bird-like sirens of Greek mythology. |

| 679 | * KnightTemplarBigBrother: Downplayed, but they're so overprotective of Deuce that they outright sabotage his camping trip so that he won't go through with his plans to travel the world, something that rightfully makes him mad when he finds out.

| 685 | ->'''Voiced By:''' Mary Jane Wells |
| 686 | |
| 687 | 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. |
| 688 | ---- |
| 689 | * 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. |
| 690 | * AllYourPowersCombined: She wields an "all-monsters" talisman that, as the name says, gives her the power of every monster. |
| 691 | * 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. |
| 692 | * 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. |
| 693 | * FantasticRacism: Absolutely ''loathes'' humans, and heavily opposed Selena Wolf's tolerance towards them. |
| 694 | * 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. |
| 695 | * 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. |
| 696 | * 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. |
| 697 | * ParentalNeglect: She alternates between ignoring her daughter in favor of work and berating her for wasting her time. |
| 698 | * SlaveToPR: She's got a reputation as dignified leader of the werebeasts to uphold, so she won't throw tantrums in public. |
| 699 | * 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]]. |
| 700 | * 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. |
| 701 | * {{Workaholic}}: She prioritizes her duties as werebeast leader so much that she won't give Toralei the time of day. |
| 702 | * WouldHurtAChild: She has no problem sealing the teenage main characters in a cave or attacking them if they get in her way. |

| 713 | * ElementalHairComposition: Like his son, he's got fiery hair, though his is green. |
| 714 | * 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. |
| 715 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Has a pretty bad case of this, refusing to listen to others because he believes he's always in the right. |

| 744 | * VillainyFreeVillain: Apart from jinxing the Monster High casketball team, when they start playing against them, Gakaiju and Modirah never cheat nor do they resort to violence even once in their game. All they do is trash talk the team. |

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. |
| 782 | * 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. |
| 783 | * FoulFox: He's a werefox and serves as the main villain of season 2. |
| 784 | * HypercompetentSidekick: A justified example; since Clawdeen knows nothing about how were-rulership works, she relies on him quite a bit. |
