!!Main Dracula Family

[[folder:Count Dracula]]
[[quoteright:229:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dracula17.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AdamSandler (first three films, ''Puppy'' short), Creator/DavidBerni (TV series, first season), Ivan Sherry (TV series, second season), Creator/BrianHull (''Monster Pets'' short, fourth film)\\
'''Dubbed by:''' Germán Fabregat (Latin American Spanish), Creator/SantiagoSegura (European Spanish), Alexandre Moreno (Brazilian Portuguese), Creator/KoichiYamadera (Japanese)

Count {{Dracula}} is the main protagonist and the owner of ''Hotel Transylvania'' and Mavis's overprotective father.
----
* AesopAmnesia: Arguable, but likely a case of realistic growth. Dracula begins the franchise with an animosity and [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters justified]] perspective that humans are a threat to him and other monsters. So, it's understandable that it'll take some time to grow out of his aversion to them. However, since he's the main character, and every plotline revolves around this in some fashion it ultimately comes across like he learns nothing between films.
* AccidentalPervert: While trying to secretly get Johnny out of the hotel in the first movie, he accidentally walks in on a female skeleton taking a shower.
* ActionDad: Not seen as much in the first movie, but in the second movie, he and his [[BadassFamily family]] [[spoiler:completely curb stomp Bela and his army.]]
* AdaptationalBadass: Downplayed. Sunlight is a problem for him, unlike his novel counterpart, but even then, it's only a serious hindrance after too much exposure. Besides that, the series takes a lot of classic Dracula powers (mind control, super strength, animal transformations, flight) and gives Drac mastery of them all. The third film shows it off the most, with him evading the van Helsings for hundreds of years, to the point of an ancient weapon being considered the ''only'' thing that could kill him [[spoiler: and it only manages to temporarily render him unconscious]].
* AdaptationalHeroism: He's a sympathetic character, unlike the one by Bram Stoker.
* AdaptationalWimp: Downplayed. In the original novel, Count Dracula was immune to sunlight as the only thing that exposure to it did to him was remove his powers until nightfall. In this adaptation, sunlight ''is'' a problem for Dracula but only after being exposed for too long.
* AirplaneArms: He runs with his arms extended behind him.
* AntiHero: He's very manipulative and loud, and strict about the rules, but he's a nice guy who would do anything for his family.
* ArchEnemy: Is considered such for the entire Van Helsing bloodline, having encountered multiple generations of Van Helsings and evaded their attempts on his life in an almost WesternAnimation/BugsBunny-esq [[RoadRunnerVsCoyote degree of competence]], Abraham being one of his most persistent pursuers. [[spoiler: This presumably ends with Ericka.]]
* AttractiveBentGender: Dracula as nurse Francine is certainly attractive enough to get the attention of a perverted zombie while his daughter gives birth.
* BadassCape: Its coolness was even lampshaded by Johnny in the first movie.
* BadassInANiceSuit: Dracula is always seen in a black tuxedo with a black cape and the inside of his cape is purple along with black dress shoes.
* BaldnessAngst: It's nowhere near as bad as Griffin, but when Drac becomes a human he definitely gets thinner up there, and when he sees his reflection for the first time he desperately tries to mitigate the damage.
* BeamMeUpScotty: In-universe. He's embarrassed at how twisted humans presented the image of vampires into. We equate vampires as being blood-thirsty and saying "Blah bleh blah!" to which he states he had never said anything like that in his centuries-long life and has no idea where that even came from. Even Mavis thinks he talks like this. He then sees ''Literature/{{Twilight}}''.
-->'''Dracula:''' This is how we're represented. Unbelievable.
* BenevolentBoss: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. While Drac is a little distant and authoritative with his staff, he doesn't do anything outright abusive to his employees. Sometimes {{zigzagged|Trope}} with a {{downplayed|Trope}} version of MeanBoss however. In the first movie, a suit of armor complains that he doesn't pay him and he once used his magic to seal the mouth of a shrunken head. He also can be very rude with his staff, [[AvertedTrope averting]] NiceToTheWaiter.
* BerserkButton: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Drac doesn't go "berserk", but becomes ''extremely'' annoyed when someone thinks he says ''"bleh, bleh, bleh"''.
* BrainyBrunette: He's able to handle a hotel since his daughter was a toddler.
* BreakTheHaughty: His own systems and party-planning were turned against him when the monsters found out he smuggled Mavis's boyfriend into the castle.
* CatchPhrase: "I do not say bleh bleh bleh!"
* CharacterDevelopment:
** In the first film, Dracula's ControlFreak tendencies were noted frequently which lead him to do some [[KnightTemplarParent questionable]] decisions to protect her, but his interactions with Johnny and seeing Mavis heartbroken over the former's apparent rejection, forces him to learn to let go of his ControlFreak tendencies and allows Mavis to travel the world with Jonathan.
** His wife, Martha, was murdered by bigoted humans, Dracula had a very low opinion of them and was quite adamant of Johnny not being with her because of that (as well as his fear of Mavis leaving), but befriending Johnny throughout the first movie has him change these views, to the point of becoming the couple's ShipperOnDeck. Come the second movie, he is allowing humans as guests in his hotel, but would prefer his grandson to be a full vampire instead of humans, but comes to not care in the end, only caring about Dennis' happiness. His development comes full circle in the third movie when he [[LoveAtFirstSight zings]] with Ericka, a human; and he's not upset about zinging with a human, he's only concerned about the zing because he thought it only happened once.
* ChickMagnet: He was HappilyMarried to Martha before her death. One of his witch employees has an obvious crush on him. Frank's cousin took a liking to him. And Ericka had a mutual zing with him.
* ClassicalMovieVampire: His physical appearance fits the trope to a T; slicked hairstyle, a black OminousOperaCape with a HighCollarOfDoom and a thick Eastern European accent. His personality is far from the classical sinister yet gentlemanly demeanor, though.
* ControlFreak: Dracula plans out everything to the smallest detail. His friends even treat his sudden OK with "hiring Johnny" for help with the party as a OOCIsSeriousBusiness.
* CoolOldGuy: Especially after he becomes a grandfather -- Drac owns an awesome hotel, is a talented rapper, can breakdance, and is a ''vampire''.
* CynicismCatalyst: His wife's death caused her husband to hate all humans and make some irrational decisions in regards to introducing Mavis to humans.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Vlad was very rough and strict on Dracula when he was growing up. Dracula was a late-fanger growing up, so Vlad used fear and other cruel methods to scare the fangs out of Dracula. Vlad also made Dracula grow up to hate humans. As Dracula grew up and moved away, he slowly stopped contacting and communicating with his father all together. Then, when he finally meets Martha the love of his life and they have Mavis, [[spoiler:his beloved wife is killed by an angry human mob.]]
* DarkIsNotEvil: So long as you don't piss him off, he's a swell guy.
* DeadpanSnarker: The most sarcastic character in the entire franchise.
* DeclarationOfProtection: Dracula makes a vow to protect Mavis and Dennis as infants in the first and second movies, respectively.
* DefrostingIceKing: After being dismissive and cold to Johnny for most of the movie, he comes to genuinely like the human after some bonding.
* DemotedToExtra: In the series due to being away at the Vampire Council. Mavis takes his spotlight for such.
* DisguisedInDrag: He dresses up like a nurse so he can enter the delivery room and witness Dennis' birth.
* DotingGrandparent: He absolutely adores his grandson, Dennis.
* DotingParent: As overprotective as he might be, he adores Mavis and she will always be his cute little girl in his eyes.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: A legendary vampire with black hair and pale skin.
* FantasticRacism: Justified. Dracula has a low opinion of people because [[spoiler:a mob of them murdered his wife, Martha]]. However, he [[CharacterDevelopment grows]] out of this mindset.
* FatalFlaw: His ControlFreak nature has lead to numerous problems in both the first and second movie.
* FormerBigot: Initially, he's a TragicBigot who hates humans because [[spoiler:some of them killed his wife Martha]]. However, he comes to abandon his prejudices after learning that things have changed over the course of more than a century, and is a DotingGrandparent to his [[HalfHumanHybrid half-human]] grandson Dennis.
* FreudianExcuse: He hated humans and takes questionable measures to protect Mavis because [[spoiler:his wife was killed by humans]].
* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: He never tried to hurt humans even back in the day and only wanted his family to live in peace [[spoiler: as seen when he tried to talk the angry mob down]]. Even in modern times the most he does is try to scare Jonathan into leaving before warming up to him.
* GlamourFailure: As typical with vampires, he has no reflection. He also doesn't appear in photos.
* GibberishOfLove: In the third movie, he often devolves into this around Ericka.
* GoodParents: Oversensitiveness aside, Mavis couldn't ask for a better dad.
* GrumpyOldMan: Especially after he becomes a grandfather. Drac is a fun guy to be around, but he's also TheStoic and prone to sarcastic quips.
* HappilyMarried: Dracula had a loving relationship with his wife, Martha. [[spoiler:Making her death at the hands of humans even more tragic.]]
* HealingFactor: An impressive one given that when he returns to the hotel after being exposed to sunlight he heals pretty quickly. Even his clothes heal.
* HeroicBuild: Dracula has a broad, muscular build and is a definite good guy.
* HiddenDepths:
** Interestingly, despite having [[spoiler:lost the love of his (immortal) life by the hands of mortals]], Dracula never sought vengeance upon them and instead contented himself with distancing him and the rest of the supernatural world from humanity.
** The ending of the first movie reveals Dracula is ''really'' good at rapping.
** The second movie shows he can play the ukulele and paints as a hobby.
* HopelessWithTech: He has a really hard time learning how to use a cellphone, mainly thanks to the (capacitive) touchscreen.
* HonoraryUncle: Wayne's kids call him Uncle Drac.
* HypnoticEyes: Can "vampnotize" others.
* InkSuitActor: He's basically an animated, vampire version of his voice actor.
* InterspeciesRomance: Him (a vampire) and [[spoiler:Ericka (a human) zing with one another and are engaged by the end of third movie]].
* {{Irony}}: He hated humans in the first movie but had his second zing with one in the third.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's a nice fella. But he does have a few less than pleasing personality traits, notably his rude way of treating his staff.
* KnightTemplarParent: {{Downplayed}}. Dracula was willing to trick his daughter into thinking humans were dangerous to keep her in the hotel... because he couldn't bare to lose the way her lost [[spoiler:Martha]]. Plus, even before revealing what he had done, it was implied he was ashamed at what he done but what was too stubborn to admit it.
* LanternJawOfJustice: He's a good guy, but is more of an anti-hero.
* LastNameBasis: Everyone, including his family, refers to him as just Dracula or Drac.
* TheLeader: Of the titled area and the monsters.
* LikeParentUnlikeChild: {{Zig zagged}}. Dracula hates and fears humans, justified because [[spoiler: they killed his wife, leaving him to raise his daughter alone]]. His daughter Mavis, however, despite being told all her life that humans hate and fear monsters, is curious and adventurous, wanting to meet them and see the world. In the end, Drac relents because his daughter's happiness matters more to him, and because he gets to see with his own eyes that the world has changed since he was a young vampire in love.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Dracula "zinged" with Martha. And he did it again with Ericka in the third movie.
%%* MeanBoss: Both {{downplayed|Trope}} and {{zigzagged|Trope}} with BenevolentBoss. See the latter entry above.
* TheMourningAfter: His late wife Martha was the only woman he ever loved, until he met Ericka.
* MundaneUtility: Uses his telekinesis to change Mavis' diaper, every parent probably dreams of having that ability.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Has one in each movie except the third one.
** In the first movie [[spoiler:it is after he causes Johnny to leave right after he kisses Mavis. He sees he forced the man whom Mavis zinged with to leave, now leaving his daughter in deep despair.]]
** In the second movie [[spoiler:it is as Dennis is being scared by Cakey. At that point Dracula realizes how selfish he has been at Dennis’ expense, which fortunately convinces him to stop the scare his father planned.]]
** In the fourth movie [[spoiler:it is when he realizes how harsh and unfair he has been to Johnny, not considering him a part of the family despite how much Johnny has changed Drac for the better.]]
%%* NightmareFace: When he gets angry enough.
* OccultBlueEyes: A legendary vampire with blue eyes.
* OddFriendship: While his initial relationship with Jonathan is frosty, due to Dracula himself being ''very'' orderly and controlling, and Jonathan having a relatively carefree lifestyle, they end up becoming good friends (with Jonathan reaffirming Dracula's faith in humanity).
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: ''This'' Dracula doesn't drink human blood because "you have no idea where it's been" reason.
* PapaWolf: In general, [[PunctuatedForEmphasis never. Ever. Mess. With His. Family.]]
** Drac [[spoiler:risked burning to death just to make Mavis happy.]]
** In the second movie, Drac promises to keep his grandson, Dennis, safe no matter what.
* ParentalHypocrisy: He complains that Mavis is too overprotective of Dennis, when he was way more overprotective of her. However Drac did have a [[MissingMom really good reason]] to be so protective of her and was before he realized that humans liked monsters now.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Around since at least the 19th century.
* RestoredMyFaithInHumanity: Spending time with Jonathan and befriending him makes Dracula see that he isn't a bad person and makes him realize that maybe not all humans are bad. [[spoiler:Being cheered on by the humans at the monster festival helps even more.]]
* ShipperOnDeck:
** After [[spoiler:spending time with Johnny and reading Martha's letter, Dracula realizes his mistake and goes with his friends to get Johnny, so he and Mavis can be together.]]
** In the sequel, he's an avid Dennis/Winnie shipper.
* ShippingTorpedo: Actively tries to stop Mavis and Jonathan from becoming an item.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Subverted. His only true love was Martha. This later changes in the third movie when he falls in love with Ericka, and it's initially made a big deal because he'd previously thought that "you only zing once".
* {{Sizeshifter}}: Dracula now gains his Size-changing powers starting in ''Hotel Transylvania 4''.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: He's "ice" to his staff (mostly) and those he doesn't like, but is "sugar" for his friends and family.
* TallDarkAndSnarky: His sarcasm is quite prevalent throughout the story.
* TookALevelInIdealism: By the end of the first movie, Dracula has his faith in humanity restored thanks to Johnny.
* TookALevelInKindness: Becomes nicer to Jonathan after their bonding moments, and to humans in general after witnessing the monster parade for them.
* TragicBigot: He has a lot of contempt for humanity because their hatred of monsters led to [[spoiler:Martha's death.]] Hanging out with Johnny makes him see that not all humans are evil.
%%* VampireVords: Was there any doubt of this?
* VegetarianVampire:
-->'''Dracula:''' Human blood is too fatty. And you never known where it's been.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: To turn into a bat. He can also change back [[MagicPants fully clothed]]. In the sequel, it is revealed that he can also become a wolf and a snake.
* WeakenedByTheLight: He cannot go out into the sun as it causes him to disintegrate into dust.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: His methods may be over the top, but his heart is always in the right place.

[[folder:Mavis Dracula]]
[[quoteright:169:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mavis.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Music/SelenaGomez, Creator/BrynMcAuley (TV series)\\
'''Dubbed by:''' Violeta Isfel (Latin American Spanish), Clara Lago (European Spanish, first two movies), Macarena García (European Spanish, third movie), Fernanda Baronne (Brazilian Portuguese), Umika Kawashima (Japanese)

Mavis Dracula is the deuteragonist of ''Hotel Transylvania''. She is Dracula and Martha's "teenage" daughter who turns 118 in the first film. By the second film, she is the wife of Jonathan and the mother of their son, Dennis as well as the only granddaughter of Vlad.
----
* TwentiesBobHaircut: Her usual hairstyle.
* ActionGirl: Not seen as much in the first movie, but in the sequel she and her [[BadassFamily family]] [[spoiler:completely curb stomp Bela and his army.]]
* ActionMom: In the sequel, [[spoiler:she kicks some ass in the climax [[BadassFamily along her son and her father]].]]
* AdaptationalJobChange: Mavis isn't implied to work at the hotel in the first movie, but in the series that takes before it, Mavis is often seen having to do various duties at the hotel, whether she wants to or not.
* AffectionateNickname: Called "Mavy-Wavy" and "Little Mouse" by her father.
* AllLovingHeroine: She is always willing to help someone out, even if her own life is in danger. Proof of that is when she was at the "human" village. After all the threats the pitchfork-armed, torch-wielding "humans" made of burning her clothes, taking her candy, biting her toes, and even shoving garlic bread in her face, she still offered her help when the "humans" were on fire.
-->'''Mavis:''' "Holy rabies! You're on fire. Can I do anything? Can I help you?"
* BabiesEverAfter: She and Johnny have a son, Dennis, by the second movie.
* BadassAdorable: Mavis is a sweet cutie. But, as the sequel demonstrates, she can ''kick'' ass.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Mavis can be ''scary'' if someone makes her angry.
* BreakoutCharacter: She quickly became the most popular character - and almost the face - of the franchise, to the point that she received [[WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvaniaTheSeries her own series as protagonist]].
* CallingTheOldManOut: In the first and second movie, Mavis is the ''first'' one to call out Dracula whenever he does something selfish or sneaky.
* CatchPhrase:
** "Holy Rabies!"
** In ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvaniaTheSeries'', she frequently says the above catchphrase as well as "Boom Dracka Lacka".
* CharacterDevelopment: In the sequel, Mavis is more than willing to stand up to her father and his ControlFreak nature.
* CharacterTics: When Mavis is happy and excited, she has a tendency to lean forwards on her tip toes with her hands spread out at her sides.
* CuteMonsterGirl: More precisely, a cute vampire girl.
* DaddysGirl: Lampshaded by the song Dracula sings to her during her childhood.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Like her father, she wears all black, but is a definite good person.
* DatingWhatDaddyHates: Dracula is ''upset'' that she had her zing with Johnny, a human. He comes around though.
* DeadpanSnarker: She has demonstrated in the first film alone that despite her [[NiceGirl goody-goody, levelheaded Nice Girl ways]], she can sometimes be snarky like her father. Being played by Music/SelenaGomez certainly helps.
* DotingParent: While she may be a little overprotective, she clearly adores Dennis and only wants what's best for him.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: She's a PerkyGoth vampire girl with short black hair and pale skin.
* ExpressiveEars: When she turns into a bat.
* ForgottenPhlebotinum: Her hypnosis which she awakened at 115. Acknowledged in-universe; anyone she tries to hypnotize is unaffected (except Donald, who was weak of mind), because it isn't ready to work properly yet. She hasn't even used such by the movies, implying she's still not ready.
* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: She's the daughter of Dracula, but she would never hurt anyone. She only wants to get to know humans and see the world outside of the hotel.
* GenerationXerox: While not as bad as her father, one could compare her helicopter-parenting to the Count's overprotective desire to shelter her. One could argue that it ''could'' have been that bad without her family and friend's interventions.
* GenkiGirl: Mavis is pretty cheerful, easy-going, naive and energetic, really saying quite a bit.
* GiveHimANormalLife: She thinks what's best for Dennis is to raise him like a normal human and have him grow up in an ordinary human environment.
* GlamourFailure: She has no reflection and she doesn't appear in photos.
* GoodParents: Like Johnny, she loves Dennis very much and always looks out for her son, although she can be a little overprotective over him.
* HairstyleInertia: Has the same bob haircut from her youth.
* HappilyMarried: To Jonathan in the sequel. While they do disagree with whether their son should stay at the hotel, both have a loving and strong marriage, encouraging one another when the other feels down.
* HartmanHips: Mavis' sweater dress shows off hers quite well. However it's downplayed because she's still supposed to be barely an adult (by monster standards, anyway).
* HypnoticEyes: Gets these after turning 115. However, anyone who isn't weak of mind is unaffected by her.
* ImmortalImmaturity: She's a 118-year old vampire who acts like a 18-year old human. Apparently, her emotional maturity is as stunted as her physical development. Justified in that she has spent her entire life extremely sheltered and hasn't been allowed to see the world beyond the castle/hotel, and thus has had almost no opportunities to become wise over the years.
* TheIngenue: In the first film, she is wholefully innocent, gentle, sweet, and often naive.
* InnocentBlueEyes: She has her father's blue eyes, but unlike him Mavis is naive, friendly and sweet.
* InterspeciesRomance: With Jonathan. She's a vampire, he's a human.
* IntriguedByHumanity: Unlike her father, Mavis finds humans interesting and is excited to know about them and their activities.
* {{Irony}}: In the first film, Mavis is chafing under her father's overprotective attitude, as he wants her to stay safe in his castle and she only wants to go see the world. In the second, she is determined to take her son away from the castle for ''his'' safety, and is seemingly oblivious to the fact that Dennis wants to ''stay''.
* LargeHam: [[spoiler:"This is all your fault!"]]
* LikeParentLikeChild: While she does not go to the same extremes as Dracula (not having had the same DarkAndTroubledPast as him), she dotes and is ImproperlyParanoid over her son's safety [[MyBelovedSmother to the point of smothering him]] and making her InnocentlyInsensitive. [[LikeFatherUnlikeSon Unlike her father, while Dracula tried keeping her at the Hotel in-spite of her dreams of traveling, she wants them to move away from the Hotel when Dennis wants to stay]].
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Dracula explicitly told her that he couldn't bare to lose her. {{Justified}} since she's his only child, and he promised his late wife he would always protect her.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Mavis's "zing" was Jonathan.
* MamaBear: Mess with her son, Dennis, and Mavis will be [[UnstoppableRage pissed]].
* MayflyDecemberRomance: Unless Jonathan becomes a vampire himself, Mavis will long outlive him.
* MundaneObjectAmazement: She treats a minimarket like an amusement park.
* MsFanservice: She's very cute and good looking and she has [[HartmanHips huge hips]]. A lot of the third movie has her in a skintight, black one-piece swimsuit that shows off her figure quite well.
* MyBelovedSmother: In ''Hotel Transylvania 2'', she dotes on Dennis both out of maternal affection and a fear that her son could get hurt living among monsters. This leads to her ignoring Johnny and wanting to move away to a more "normal" human neighborhood in America. While she has a point that Dennis is more fragile than the other children there by virtue of being human, it is portrayed as her being InnocentlyInsensitive, being blind to what the rest of her family wants.
* NiceGirl: Mavis starts off as sort of brash and rebellious in the first film but she has always been a kind-hearted, wholesome, soft spoken, and lovable person who becomes a strong MamaBear since the second film. Also, see her AllLovingHeroine section.
* NightmareFace:
** [[FreezeFrameBonus Blink and you'll miss it]], but when [[spoiler:Dracula admits that the village was fake]] late in the film, Mavis makes a freaky angry expression with her eyes wide and bulging and her fangs bared. It must run in the family.
** A much more visible one in the sequel when she mimics her father's roar at an airport clerk. It's not very effective, but still...
* ObviousPregnancy: Zigzagged. At the start of the second film, she doesn't really look any different. But, when she turns into her bat form, her belly becomes visibly distended, which clues her father in that he's going to become a grandfather.
* OccultBlueEyes: Inherited from her father, the legendary vampire Dracula.
* OlderThanSheLooks: She's 118 years old, yet she looks, acts and thinks like a teenager. In the sequel, she is 120 when she's married and gives birth and then 125 when her son turns 5.
* OnlySaneWoman: One of the most reasonable residents of the hotel.
%%* OurVampiresAreDifferent
* OverprotectiveMom: In the sequel, she shows she takes after her dad in overprotective parenting. She has her father babyproof the entire hotel, refuses to let Dennis try out any monster activities as she thinks they're too dangerous for him, and she considers moving out of the hotel and living with Jonathan's family so Dennis can grow up in a more safe environment.
* ParentWithNewParamour: Drac falls in love with Ericka in the third movie, and Mavis initially has her doubts, [[spoiler:and not simply because Ericka is trying to hurt her father. Her fears are alleviated later on, and she's absolutely ecstatic when Drac later proposes to Ericka.]]
* PerkyGoth: Dresses in gothic clothing, and is very happy and energetic.
* ProperlyParanoid:
** In ''Hotel Transylvania 2'' she decides that it would be better for Dennis' well-being if they and Johnny moved to America to live among normal humans. While it's against what the rest of her family wants [[spoiler:and Dennis' fangs coming in making the point moot anyway]], she is right to be worried about her son's safety when he's an adolescent human several times more fragile than monsters his own age.
** While it can be read as a girl not ready to see her father finding love again, in ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvania3SummerVacation'' her suspicions about Ericka are proven correct when it is revealed that she was a member of the Van Helsing family and was actually was trying to kill him at first.
* RavenHairIvorySkin: She doesn't get much sun, so this is to be expected.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Inverted. Mavis wears a black, short dress with red and black stockings. She also sports red shoes. Plus, she's a nice, heroic vampire.
* SexySweaterGirl: While Mavis' sweater dress is very modest, it also shows off her curves.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Mavis's "zing" was Jonathan.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Mavis falls in love with the NiceGuy [[{{Keet}} Jonathan]].
* SupernaturallyYoungParent: While its never confirmed if vampires are immortal in the ''Hotel Transylvania''-universe, they certainly live a lot longer and age at a much slower rate than humans do -- though Mavis is 125 by the time her and Johnny's son, Dennis, turns 5, she looks more like she could be his sister instead of his mother.
* SuperStrength: Even in bat form, she's strong enough to carry Jonathan and his giant backpack for huge distances at high speeds.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Her favorite foods are wormcakes and scream cheese.
* VegetarianVampire: Like her dad, she only drinks blood from animals.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Same case as her father, as she's able to turn into a bat.
* WeakenedByTheLight: Like her father, she cannot go out during the day because the sun disintegrates her to dust.
* WellDoneDaughterGirl: The TV series has her try to make her father and aunt proud by proving that she can perform tasks at the hotel responsibly.

[[folder:Jonathan "Johnny" Loughran]]
[[quoteright:335:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/johnny.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AndySamberg\\
'''Dubbed by:''' Cristóbal Orellana (Latin American Spanish), Dani Martínez (European Spanish), Mckeidy Lisita (Brazilian Portuguese), Shingo Fujimori (Japanese)

Jonathan is the tritagonist of ''Hotel Transylvania''. He's the 21-year-old human backpacking his way across Europe and stumbles on the titular hotel. By the sequel, he has married Mavis and fathered a son, named Dennis.
----
* AccidentalPervert: Johnny puts his hand through a female skeleton's rib cage, much to her indignation. Later, Dracula and Jonathan walk in on the same female skeleton in the shower and two fleas on their honeymoon.
* AmazonChaser: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Johnny was already in love with Mavis when they had their "[[LoveAtFirstSight zing]]", but he is noticeably impressed and proud of Mavis in the sequel (his wife at this point) when she performs impressive, daredevil-defying bike tricks. And after her performance, he brags to the local kids about her:
-->'''Johnny:''' That's my girlfriend, suckers!\\
'''Mavis:''' Your ''wife'', Johnny.\\
'''Johnny:''' My wife! Even better!
* AscendedFanboy: Johnny is a fan of some of the most famous monsters like Frankenstein, Dracula, the Invisible Man. He not only becomes one of their close friends, but he also becomes Dracula's son-in-law by the sequel.
* BabiesEverAfter: He and Mavis have a son, Dennis, by the second movie.
* BadassPacifist: In the third movie, Johnny manages to defeat the Kraken by using a ''song'' with Dracula's magic helping to amplify the sound.
* BerserkButton: Being called a "wimp" by Vlad had Johnny nearly start a fight with the old vampire.
* BlackSheep: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. While Johnny genuinely loves his family (and they feel the same way), it's implied that part of the reason he travels around the world was so he could find a place where he fit in because he never truly fit in with his family.
* BlitheSpirit: For the hotel, as he brings some much needed fun changes to the overly traditional hotel.
* BreakHerHeartToSaveHer: Sort of. Jonathan attempts this in the first film so that he won't drive Mavis and Dracula apart. He loves Mavis, but he cares too much about Dracula to leave him alone or to leave father and daughter estranged.
* BreathWeapon: After being turned into a dragon in ''Transformania'', Johnny becomes capable of breathing jets of fire -- though he has trouble controlling this at first.
* BrilliantButLazy: He is a proud "slacker"; but he set up a party in half a day, figured out the table numbers by himself and kept track of them, and later helps the hotel get up-to-date with new technology.
* ButtMonkey: A lot of humor involves him suffering humiliating misfortunes.
* CatchPhrase: "Just gotta roll with it."
* ChekhovsGag: In the first movie, Jonathan's smelly old shirt is what Dracula and friends use to find him.
* CompanionCube: He really cares about his backpack. It was even the best man at his wedding and has its own seat at the dinner table.
* DelightfulDragon: His monster form in ''Transformania'' is a large green dragon. Nonetheless, he's as goofy and fun-loving as he's ever been, and uses his newfound size and strength to comical effect. [[spoiler: Ends up being subverted when the monsterfication effect has him becoming more and more feral until he lashes out at Dracula when the truth is revealed about the monster real estate law clause.]]
* TheDitz: Comes hand and hand with also being TheFool.
* DumbassHasAPoint:
** He sarcastically comments on knowing what Mavis feels like when Dracula orders him around like a prisoner. Sarcasm aside, he's on point.
** When Dracula tells him to take a time-out, Johnny angrily replies that he's a "grown man". ManChild or not, Johnny is and adult and Dracula has no right to tell him something he would say to a child.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In the first movie, Johnny mentions growing up with six brothers. In the sequel, it's revealed that he only has two brothers (plus one sister).
* EndearinglyDorky: He's an American surfer-dude backpacker klutz who tends to ramble about random anecdotes from his travels, geeks out over the monsters (once he's through being terrified of them), is quite considerate of the feelings of others, and is a hopeless romantic. Mavis practically lampshades this trait when talking to Dracula:
-->'''Mavis:''' Phffft! No, come on, Dad, he's so weird and awkward, it's like "are you an idiot or do you ''know'' you're adorable?"
* {{Fanboy}}: Jonathan is a fan of Dave Mathews, as he mentioned that he had tickets to six Dave Mathews band concerts when he tried to convince Dracula to keep him alive.
* FieryRedhead: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. He likes to have fun, but is generally laid back.
* TheFool: He seems to be fine with taking a picture of a couple that's crying, adventuring through a "spooky forest", and following a trail of zombies on fire to an "awesome castle". He is also seemingly completely unafraid of Dracula though this is because he thinks the hotel is having a costume party when he first shows up.
* FrankensteinsMonster: Not really, but he dressed like one.
* FreakyIsCool: After getting over his initial terror of being trapped in a ''hotel of monsters'', he wants to stay.
* GenericGuy: Johnny may act as the BlitheSpirit, but besides that and his love of monsters, there's really nothing "unique" about him as a whole.
* GeniusDitz: {{Implied|Trope}}. He can play the guitar, plan a massive party in half a day on no notice and possibly no prior experience, and took all of five seconds to figure out the numbers of all of the tables in Dracula's ballroom, ''and keep track while flying around.''
* GoodParents: Like Mavis, he loves Dennis very much and always look out for his son. Johnny also qualifies as the OpenMindedParent.
* HappilyMarried: To Mavis in the sequel. While they do disagree with whether their son should stay at the hotel, both have a loving and strong marriage, encouraging one another when the other feels down.
* HenpeckedHusband: In the sequel, he goes along with everything Mavis says and doesn't argue with her decisions, even if he doesn't agree with them. Probably ties into how he's a MellowFellow who "just rolls with it".
* HiddenDepths: His first appearance portrays Johnny as a classic example of TheFool. However, he can plan a party in half a day, and figures out the numbers on all of the tables in Dracula's ballroom. He is also really good on the guitar. There's also the fact he's travelling through Europe primarily on foot, knows the local lore, judging by his knowledge of the "Lady Lubov" (Martha), and is implied to have been to France, Germany, and Greece, among other places, due to having patches that represent them on his backpack. He also mentions some of his travels in ''Transformania'', and gives advice to the now human Dracula to prevent him from getting hurt, such as not interacting with strange bodies of water (advice that Dracula ignores, getting attacked by piranhas for doing so).
* IdiotHero: Well, more like ''"Idiot Deuteragonist"''. Just see his entry in TheFool section.
* IKnowKarate: "You wanna throw down old man [Vlad]! Certified yellow belt since 1997."
* ImmuneToMindControl: He cannot be "vampnotized" by Dracula due to wearing contact lenses. When he turns into a monster in the fourth movie, Dracula can't do it to him at all.
* InsecureLoveInterest: He shows shades of this in the sequel. He still does not seem to be able to believe that Mavis is his wife, and still refers to her as "his girlfriend".
-->'''Mavis''': "Your wife, Johnny".
* InSeriesNickname: Goes by either "Johnny" or "Jonathan", usually the former.
* InterspeciesRomance: With Mavis. He's a human, she's a vampire.
* {{Keet}}: Always full of energy and life.
* LizardFolk: Turns into one in the fourth movie.
* LovableCoward: Can't blame him for being initially terrified of Hotel Transylvania.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Johnny's "zing" was with Mavis.
* MagneticHero: His good-natured attitude allows him to win many people over, even ones who greatly dislike him at first.
* ManChild: {{Downplayed}}. Johnny is mature enough to ''know'' he's a grown man (and can adopt a more serious attitude when necessary), but his enthusiasm makes him seem endearingly childish.
* ManicPixieDreamGuy: For Mavis -- He told her about the wondrous things in the human world.
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: He apparently grew up with six brothers, so sharing stuff isn't an issue for him. This may have been [[{{Retcon}} retconned]], as only two brothers show up in the sequel (with family pictures in his parents' house suggesting they're all the brothers he has), along with a sister.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: Mavis is just coming of age by vampire standards, but she's older than any living human and will long outlive Jonathan unless he becomes a vampire himself, which is only vaguely touched upon[[note]]"You make a lousy Frankenstein, but you'd make a great vampire."[[/note]] as a possibility.
* MeaningfulName: His name is likely a reference to Jonathan Harker, the human protagonist who meets Dracula in Bram Stoker's original novel.
* MellowFellow: His motto is "just roll with it".
* MessyHair: Johnny's hair is curly, spiky, and appears to be regularly uncombed.
* NiceGuy: Laid-back, easygoing, kind, thoughtful, and a bit of a romantic.
* OpenMindedParent: Unlike Mavis, Johnny is okay with letting Dracula try and bring out Dennis' inner vampire and he honestly thinks Dennis would be happier living among monsters at the hotel instead of having to move to California with Johnny's human family.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In ''Transformania'', Jonathan becomes ''genuinely'' angry with Dracula [[spoiler:after learning he was lied to about a monster real estate law clause, and becomes convinced he was never going to be seen as part of the family.]]
* OutOfFocus: In the sequel. In the first movie he was the {{Tritagonist}} of the same, along with Dracula and Mavis, but in ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvania2'' much of that role falls on his son Dennis, and he becomes more a supporting character. He returns to being a main character again in ''Transformania''.
* PapaWolf: Johnny may not have the parenting skills of Mavis and Drac, but he doesn't hesitate to enter into the fray to save his son in the climax of the second film.
* PhraseCatcher: "That's cool!"
* ScaledUp: Van Helsing's Monsterfication Ray turns him into a bipedal dragon in ''Transformania'', with him becoming larger and more feral as the mutation progresses.
* ShamSupernatural: The titular hotel is for monsters only, giving them a vacation getaway from the humans who fear them. When Jonathan, a regular human, inadvertently wanders inside in the first movie and ends up staying there, he has to disguise himself as Frankenstein's cousin "Johnnystein" in order to not upset the other guests.
* ShoutOut: Anyone who's savvy enough with the story of Dracula would realise that Johnny is a shout-out to Jonathan Harker, the young and naive solicitor who was temporarily imprisoned within Dracula's castle in the original Bram Stoker novel.
* ThePigPen: When Drac sniffs one of his t-shirts, he immediately recoils in disgust. It's never made clear if he's bad at hygiene or just bad at maintaining it while backpacking.
* TheSlacker: He calls himself this and is proud of it.
* TheSocialExpert: As of the second film, Johnny's job at the hotel is helping to make the place more human-friendly, which has resulted in more modern methods and incorporating more human-appropriate activities.
* TokenHuman: The only human of the main characters. [[spoiler:At least until Ericka is introduced.]]
* WalkingTheEarth: Johnny was doing this when he came upon the hotel.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Johnny's desire to please his father-in-law Dracula and become an acceptable successor for his role running the hotel drives his transformation into a monster during ''Transformania''.
* YouthfulFreckles: To show his fun-loving character.

[[folder:Dennis "Denisovich" Dracula-Loughran]]
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/denis.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Asher Blinkoff, Sunny Sandler (as a baby)

Dennis Dracula-Loughran is the half-vampire/half-human son of Johnathan and Mavis. He is also the grandson of Dracula and the late Martha as well as Mike and Linda. Through Mavis, Dennis is the great-grandson of Vlad.
----
* AlliterativeName: '''D'''ennis '''D'''racula.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: {{Downplayed}}. Dennis is teased by his cousins, but is loved by his parents, grandparents, aunt, and uncles. He's also loved by his monster surrogate family and his best friend - and inevitable crush - Winnie.
* BabysFirstWords: His first words are none other than the one phrase Drac hates -- "Bleh-bleh-bleh."
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Dennis is the youngest on both sides of his family.
* BadassAdorable: [[spoiler:Once his vampire powers awaken, the adorable little Dennis beats the shit out of Bela in bat form, completely on his own.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Dennis is the sweetest little boy ever, but you wouldn't want to get him angry. [[spoiler:Bela]] learns the hard way.
* CheerfulChild: Dennis is nearly always happy and excitable throughout the sequel.
* TheCutie: Quite the adorable sprite.
* DeadGuyJunior: Dennis got his name from his deceased paternal great-grandfather.
* DemotedToExtra: He doesn't have a very big role in ''Transformania'', nor does he get to join his family in South America.
* {{Dhampyr}}: His mom's a vampire while his dad's a human, and though he ultimately gets his mom's vampire abilities, Dennis (as Frank points out) is still technically half-human.
* DieOrFly: Dracula tries to force Dennis to learn how to fly by throwing him off a high tower. It doesn't work, but Dracula catches him on time.
* {{Fanboy}}:
** He ''loves'' Kakie the Cake Monster.
** His favorite superhero is ''Batman''.
* FieryRedhead: Downplayed. Dennis inherited his father's red hair and while he's a CheerfulChild, he's fairly even-tempered. Unless you make him [[BewareTheNiceOnes mad]].
* HalfHumanHybrid: He is half- human and half- vampire.
* HeadPet: Dennis seemed to like being on his parent's heads when he was younger. Winnie now does it to him.
* HypnoFool: He and Winnie are susceptible to Dracula's hypnosis. Presumably, this is because [[spoiler:even though his vampire powers are fully awakened after the events of the second movie, he's not old enough to develop the hypnosis immunity that fellow vampires have (Dracula used this on Mavis at a young age to get her to brush her teeth at some point in the series, supporting this theory). Or, because the fact that he's only half-vampire makes him susceptible no matter what]].
* InnocentBlueEyes: He got his mother's blue eyes, and he's an innocent, adorable little cutie.
* InstantExpert: Despite only just getting [[spoiler: his vampire powers, he seems to master them pretty quickly during his fight against Bela.]]
* InterspeciesRomance: With Winnie, in that she's a werewolf-pup while he's a vampire/human-hybrid.
* {{Keet}}: He's always full of energy.
* {{Malaproper}}: He pronounces the word "because" as "cebause".
* MommasBoy: While he obviously loves both of his parents and his very close to them, Dennis seems a little closer to his mom than he does to his dad -- along with that, Mavis (much like her dad was with her) is very protective of her son, to the point of making dad babyproof literally the entire hotel and even going so far as to consider moving out of the hotel and to a place that she felt would be safer for Dennis when he initially didn't shown any monster abilities (unaware that her husband and even their son, along with her dad, are against it). Also, until Dennis was shown to have inherited his mom's vampire abilities, Mavis only feeds him healthy human food (such as avocados) and has him sleep at night.
* NiceGuy: Dennis is an adorably sweet kid.
* NightmareFace: Inherits his from his mother and grandfather, and [[spoiler:it's so powerful it sends Bela flying through several trees like an organic missile.]]
* NoGuyWantsToBeChased: [[spoiler: At the end of the third movie, Winnie makes a very forward romantic advance and asks Dennis to look her in the eyes so they can "zing". Dennis gets nervous and then runs off, believing he's "too young to zing".]]
* NomDeMom: Shares the last names of his mother and father.
* OccultBlueEyes: He got the blue eyes of his vampire mother and grandfather. [[spoiler:In the climax, he reveals he does have vampire powers.]]
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Despite being all of five years old, once his vampire powers kick in he [[CurbStompBattle easily hands Bela his rump.]]
* PuppyLove: Winnie has a crush on him and although Dennis claims she's only a friend, he does appear to have a thing for her. [[spoiler: At the end of the third movie it's still only at "a thing" level, as while Winnie blatantly offers to "zing" with him, Dennis runs off since he believes he's too young to "zing", so it's still just at "puppy love" level for now.]]
* QuirkyCurls: He inherited his father's red curls and energetic nature.
* SignificantBirthDate: He was born on Friday the 13th (though it doesn't clarify which month).
* StrongFamilyResemblance: With the exception of his eye color (which he gets from his mom), Dennis looks identical to his dad.
* TookALevelInBadass: The beginning has Dennis unable to fly. The climax not only [[spoiler:has him unleash his vampire powers, but being able to use them with [[InstantExpert expertise instantly.]]]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Dennis ''really'' likes avocados.
* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: [[spoiler:His vampire powers finally awaken when he and Winnie are attacked by Bela and Winnie gets hurt protecting him.]]
* WiseBeyondHisYears: Dennis seems very intelligent and mature for his age, and seems to have a better understanding of what's going on around than the adults think -- he's also capable of buckling himself in and cutting avocadoes open on his own.

[[folder:Frank]]
[[quoteright:176:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/neimes0x16rmll_2_b.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KevinJames (first three films), Brad Abrell (fourth film), Paul Braunstein (TV series)\\
'''Dubbed by:''' Mauricio Castillo (Latin American Spanish), Mario Vaquerizo (European Spanish), Creator/MauroRamos (Brazilian Portuguese), Creator/YuichiNagashima (Japanese), Creator/GunnarErnblad (Swedish)

Dracula's best friend and Mavis' favorite "Uncle Frank" is none other than Frankenstein's monster — an oversized working man with an even bigger heart. It has been a long time since this monster stormed through the countryside, frightening villagers and constables alike. He is an unassuming married man who loves his adoptive family, Drac and Mavis. Imagine his surprise when he and his wife Eunice show up for Mavis' 118th birthday party and he is introduced to a cousin he has never met, Johnnystein (human Jonathan in a last-minute disguise).
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: In the original ''Frankenstein'' novel, the "monster" was both good and bad. He's portrayed as an innocent and naive person, who [[ThenLetMeBeEvil turns bad after numerous bad run-ins with humanity]]; he also kills two of Dr. Frankenstein's closet friends/family in an attempt to get back at him for not helping him. The movies portay him as debatably the most mild mannered of the monsters.
* AdaptationalUgliness: Frank has the stereotypical appearance of Frankenstein's monster but in the original ''Frankenstein'' novel, the "monster" is specifically described as being a ''beautiful'' EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette, with yellow eyes and dark lips.
* BerserkButton: "FIRE!! BAD!!"
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's an easygoing GentleGiant, but show him [[BerserkButton fire]] or be a jerk and he will go berserk.
* BigEater: Something that was shown more in the sequel; Frank will eat anything he finds delicious.
* BigFun: Shares it with Murray; dude's a major party animal.
* FrankensteinsMonster: You bet.
* FreakyIsCool: He thinks the idea of his hand having pig-strangling blood ancestry is "pretty cool".
* GentleGiant: He's the biggest, and has an equally big heart.
* HappilyMarried: Has a loving one with Eunice.
* HenpeckedHusband: His wife constantly reminds about what he should and shouldn't do.
* HonoraryUncle: He serves as an uncle figure to Mavis, along with Wayne, Murray, and Griffin. Mavis even calls him "Uncle Frank" very often.
* HotInHumanForm: In ''Hotel Transylvania: Transformania'', he is turned into an attractive human guy, much to the annoyance of this friends, since [[AcquiredSituationalNarcissism he cannot stop talking of how attractive he is.]]
* TheLancer: Can also be TheBigGuy.
* NiceGuy: Frank's generally an easy-going and good-natured guy. [[BerserkButton Just don't show him fire.]]
* ScaryStitches: It comes with being Frankenstein's monster. The stitches don't seem too strong, as he's able to ship himself to the hotel in pieces, and falls apart after diving from the pool's extra-high dive.
* UnusualEyebrows: His are stitches.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: As you'd expect for a modern portrayal of Frankenstein's creation, he can't stand fire. Just seeing it send him into a rage. The fireworks at the cruise seem to be an exception, much to Drac's annoyance.

Eunice is Frank's beloved wife. What Frank lacks in forcefulness, Eunice more than makes up for.
----
* CuteMonsterGirl: Not a bad looker, despite being a mess of stitched-up corpses.
* HappilyMarried: Has a loving one with Frank.
* JerkassHasAPoint: The third movie has her forbid Frank from gambling when everyone enters a casino. While overbearing about it as usual, her point is sound since he lost body parts he bet on prior and did so again after going behind her back.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She is critical, brash and can have an "in your face" attitude, but underneath it all, she's a loving wife.
* NobodyTouchesTheHair: Is very protective of her hair considering that she tries to tell the other monsters not to get it wet in the 3rd movie.
* ParentalSubstitute: Heavily implied to be a maternal figure to Mavis.
* PinkMeansFeminine: Eunice wears dark pink high-heels.
* SexySweaterGirl: Wears a plushy sweater that emphasizes a large front.

Wayne is a werewolf who's a miserable data processor by day and a put-upon father by night.
----
* BadassDecay: InUniverse. Wayne often complains about not being at his peak anymore, having lost most of the energy and fierceness of his younger days plus no longer being a good tracker. That said, it may just be the hassles of parenthood that have worn away his edge. When a Fishman offers to watch his brood to allow he and Wanda the opportunity to enjoy the cruise in ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvania3SummerVacation'', it doesn't take long for them to start bounding around the ship with SuperSpeed and animalistic reflexes.
* BarefootCartoonAnimal: The only thing he doesn't wear are shoes.
* ButtMonkey: He's pretty much the most miserable of all the characters.
* TheCynic: Wayne's outlook on life in general is dismal as his ever-growing family normally gives him a lot of mental stress.
* DeadpanSnarker: Seems pretty exhausted by having a bunch of kids, so that's why he's deadpan.
* FurryReminder: There are many, many dog jokes based off of him! (i.e. Chasing balls and trying to catch a frisbee)
* HonoraryUncle: While he's not related to Mavis by blood, she refers to him as "Uncle Wayne" and the two are very close.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: As cynical and sarcastic as he is, Wayne does have a good heart and cares about his friends and their families.
* PapaWolf: A literal example. In the second movie, he [[spoiler:attacks Bela to protect Winnie.]]
* PushoverParents: Only Winnie respects him.
-->'''Wayne:''' Hey, kids, reel it in! You're only supposed to make Mom and Dad miserable!
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: He makes this type of scream when he sees human Griffin's naked butt after he turns around while hiding from Ericka and Mavis.
* TheSmartGuy: His job is a data processor.
* WerewolvesAreDogs: He and his family have a lot of traits in common with domestic dogs, such as him and his wife taking advantage of time away from their offspring in the third film by playing fetch with each other.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: {{Implied}}. The sequel shows that Wayne was the most visibly scared of his friends when they were climbing up a ''very'' tall tower.
* WolfMan: He's a werewolf in perpetual lupine form who acts (in most ways) as a human being.

----
* BarefootCartoonAnimal: Like Wayne, the only item of clothing she doesn't wear are shoes.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: The first two films show her completely content with the amount of children she has, but by the third film she seems to be just as worn out as Wayne.
* DotingParent: Wanda always has an explanation for her pups' unruly behavior, "since that's what kids do."
* ExplosiveBreeder: She and Wayne already have a lot of children, and she's pregnant during the events of all four movies even though the end of the first showed her having already given birth at the end suggesting that this is a new litter.
* HartmanHips: Aside from being heavily pregnant, she has these.
* HonoraryAunt: She's one to both Mavis and Dennis. Mavis even refers to her as Aunt Wanda.
* MonsterIsAMommy: Literally. Wanda plays this trope straight, and the ''only'' time when she isn't seen pregnant is during the end credits of the first film.
* NiceGirl: The polar opposite of her husband's sarcastic and cynical personality -- Wanda's sweet, lovable and very maternal.
* WerewolvesAreDogs: She and her family have a lot of traits in common with domestic dogs, such as her and her husband taking advantage of time away from their offspring in the third film by playing fetch with each other.

----
* AscendedExtra: One of Wayne's many kids in the first movie who was crucial to the climax of the film but nothing more beyond that. In the sequels, her role's expanded.
* CharacterDevelopment: After seven years, Winnie didn't appear to physically change but she has mentally matured.
-->'''Winnie:''' ''[in response to Dennis questioning her serving him a dead pigeon]'' Enjoy it. 'Cause once I graduate from business school and start running a company, you're not gonna get home-cooked meals like this anymore.
* CuteMonsterGirl: Especially considering she's a cute werewolf puppy.

* DeathGlare: When she notices Dennis' human cousins laughing at him, she shoots them a furious glare over her shoulder and begins growling.

* HiddenDepths: The sequel has her telling Dennis about her aspirations to going into business school and running her own company.
* HypnoFool: She and Dennis are susceptible to Dracula's hypnosis. In her case, she may be too young to develop the hypnosis immunity that monsters presumably share (Drac tried this on Johnny, who had just been turned into a human earlier in the fourth movie, without success).
* InterspeciesRomance: Winnie is a werewolf pup who has a huge crush on Dennis, a human-vampire hybrid.
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: She says she has 300 brothers.
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: When she opens her mouth, she reveals she has dozens of fangs, and Dennis certainly is impressed by her set.
* TheNoseKnows: Wayne calls on her to sniff out Jonathan's scent when he cites years of diaper changes have permanently destroyed his sense of smell. Not only does she manage to track the smell effortlessly, she can do so to the tiniest detail such as what cab Jonathan got into, where he was heading, ''what airplane he was getting on'' and even what kind of in-flight meal was being served on that airplane.
* OnlySaneWoman: Of all her brothers, she's apparently the only one who is serious.
* PuppyLove: An almost literal example with Dennis in the sequel, with her having an obvious crush on him. [[spoiler: At the end of the third movie, she tries to upgrade it from "puppy love" to "zing" level and asks Dennis to look her in the eyes, but Dennis believes he's too young to "zing" right now and runs away without looking.]]
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Winnie's cute enough to make even the manliest hearts vaporize.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: In the sequel, Winnie has a crush on [[{{Keet}} Dennis]] (often referring to him as her "zing"). Why? Because he's the nicest boy she's ever met. [[spoiler: She makes her move at the end of the third movie and asks Dennis to "zing", which he turns down since he doesn't feel ready for it yet.]]

Griffin, also known as the Invisible Man, only wears glasses to be seen. He uses his invisibility to surprise people and to help him during fights. He's sarcastic and witty personality-wise.
----
* AllThereInTheScript: Is never referred to by "Griffin" in the original movie, the credits alone reveal his real name. The others do start addressing him properly in the sequels.
* AloneAmongTheCouples: In the sequel, all his friends have found someone except him and Drac. This results in Griffin claiming he does have an [[GirlfriendInCanada invisible girlfriend]], but nobody buys it. [[spoiler:Fortunately, he meets a real invisible woman in the end.]]
* AmbiguouslyBi: Griffin greets Dracula by pinching his ass and then calling him irresistible, but meets an invisible woman in the sequel.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: The Griffin of the original book and novel was biologically a human, and he was only a "monster" because he had the inhuman trait of being invisible and was an evil bastard. This Griffin is accepted without question by the Hotel despite their FantasticRacism towards humans, even being one of Dracula's best friends. He was also alive and with the Drac Pack in 1897 in the third movie's prologue, adding more questions over what he is.
* BaldnessAngst: When turned human and losing his invisibility, Griffin is not pleased to realize he's balding.
* ButtMonkey: Attacked by wolf pups, publicly embarrassed in the swimming area, and much more.
%%* TheChewToy: See above.
* DeadpanSnarker: The second snarkiest, after Dracula.
* ExpressiveAccessory: His glasses seem to bend and distort with his emotions.
%%* TheHeart
* HonoraryUncle: Mavis often calls him "Uncle Griffin".
* InvisibleJerkass: He seems to be fond of ComedicSociopathy; at least in the beginning.
* InvisibleStreaker: Most of the time, he's completely nude except for his floating EyeGlasses, even powdering his ass when preparing for the main event. The one time he wears clothes is for the sake of a gag where he gets his pants pulled down and claims shrinkage. ''Transformania'' outright confirms this when he loses his invisibility, revealing once and for all that he's nude, and [[spoiler:when he's made invisible again, the others insist he avert this.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Griffin may a sarcastic jokester, but he does care about and loves his friends.
* JokeOfTheButt: After he is turned into a visible and therefore naked human in ''Transformania'', he gets some shots focusing on his bare butt that are played for humor. The very end of the film even has one last close-up of his ass appear after "The End" card.
* MeaningfulName: Also doubles as a ShoutOut. [[Literature/TheInvisibleMan His name is the same as the original invisible man.]]
* NakedPeopleAreFunny: ''Transformania'' has him left naked after he becomes human, since all he ever wore were a pair of glasses. After he is made invisible again, Murray insists that he wear clothes from now on under the reasoning that being invisible is no excuse to avoid wearing clothes.
* QuirkyCurls: Griffin reveals he has curly, red hair and he's quite the lovable jokester.

* NighInvulnerability: As shown in the sequel and the third movie, Blobby can survive falling from a tall cliff and being blown up by a flare gun round.

* TheSpeechless: He doesn't speak, so his character is entirely conveyed through pantomime, and the noises his gelatinous body makes.
* SuddenNameChange: In the first movie, his name was Steve. It was never said out loud in the film.
* TrulySingleParent: The third film has him singlehandedly create a smaller blob creature that he treats like his child. And a second one they treat like a puppy.

The Kraken is the host of Atlantis who welcomes people to the casino with a musical number. However, it has a darker side...

Vlad is the father of Dracula, the paternal grandfather of Mavis, the grandfather-in-law of Jonathan and the maternal great-grandfather of Dennis.
----
* AbusiveDad: Vlad used fear and other cruel methods to get Dracula's fangs to pop out.
* AgeWithoutYouth: He is the first vampire shown on screen that shows signs of senility like a human would [[spoiler:and his teeth are actually dentures.]] All other vampires we see look like adults or kids.
* DarkIsNotEvil: He wears all black, and while he may be more of a jerk than his son, he proves not to be a completely heartless vampire.
* DeadpanSnarker: Makes his opinions of the hotel, [[{{Mummy}} Murray]], and just about anything else clearly known.
* EasilyForgiven: Despite having a strained relationship and possessing Dennis' favorite monster, Vlad is forgiven. Which is unsurprising, given he saved [[spoiler:Johnny, a human, from being killed by Bela.]]
* ExpyCoexistence: Given that He LooksLikeOrlok, he's an {{expy}} of [[Film/{{Nosferatu}} an expy of his own son]].
* FantasticRacism: While Dracula's hatred of humans was born out of personal tragedy and preferred a "live/let-live" relationship with them before Johnny entered their lives, Vlad is more proactive in this hatred and tried instilling a desire to hunt humans into him at an early age. While at first horrified when he finds out that his son allowed humans into his Hotel and his family, he gets over it fairly quickly.
* HeelFaceTurn: Goes from hating humans and the idea of being related to them to [[spoiler:saving Johnny from being killed by Bela]].
* HeelRealization: Doesn't seem to understand at first just how badly he's hurt his great-grandson, until Drac and Mavis lay into him for it.
* InksuitActor: He resembles a vampire version of his actor Mel Brooks.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Vlad may not be the nicest, but he was willing [[spoiler:to protect his ''human'' family after he finds out that his great-grandson is half-human.]]
* KavorkaMan: The ''Hotel Transylvania 3'' teaser trailer shows Vlad being goggled by three witches - despite being a wrinkly old vampire.
* LooksLikeOrlok: Is a bald vampire with pointy ears.
* MeaningfulName: Is named after UsefulNotes/VladTheImpaler, who is commonly cited as the inspiration for Count Dracula.
* TheNoseKnows: With one sniff, Vlad was able to know that Linda and Mike (who were dressed up as zombies), "smelled funny"; getting a small hint that they weren't actual monsters, but he was too distracted by Frank to pay much heed.
* OutOfFocus: He doesn't appear nor is even mentioned in ''Transformania''.
* PapaWolf: Oh yeah. [[spoiler: Changes the view he's had of humans for hundreds if not thousands of years in roughly two minutes, because his great-grandson is half-human, and doesn't hesitate to hit his most loyal minion with a FateWorseThanDeath for daring to attack a human that his son and granddaughter love.]]

[[folder:Aunt Lydia]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aunt_lydia_television_series.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Dan Chameroy

Aunt Lydia is Dracula's older sister and Mavis' aunt. She is a recurring character who appears in ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvaniaTheSeries''.
----
* AntiVillain: She's the main antagonist of the TV series, but it's more about her GoodOldWays beliefs clashing with Mavis's love for change. Other than that, Lydia ''does'' have moments that show she cares for her niece.
* TheBaroness: Is referred to as such by various characters throughout the series.
* ColorMotifs: Purple. Except for the white part of her hair, Lydia's hair is colored purple. Her clothing is a mixture of black and purple. And her pet chicken, Diane, has purple coloring on her head.
* ControlFreak: Much like her brother, Lydia strives to maintain order in the hotel.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: It's revealed in "The Naming of the Shrew" that her given name is actually Poopsie and she goes by Lydia because she knows that no one would take her seriously if she went by Poopsie.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: While she acts as the antagonist for most of the series, it is clear that she does value her niece as family to some capacity. This is most telling in "Bugging Out", where she begrudgingly praises Mavis for doing all of the chores she was assigned, and then later tells Mavis that she does deserve to work at Hotel Transylvania in spite of her screw-ups. The sincerity in what she said is made even more poignant when a truth bug blew up next to her as she said it, proving that actually meant that. This is cemented in ''Fangceanera,'' when it's revealed that everything she has done is to [[spoiler: prepare Mavis to obtain her cape, even celebrating when she does so.]]
* EvilAunt: Aunt Lydia, apparently due to being a traditionalist in monster ways and trying to impose them when running the hotel.
* GoodOldWays: She always begrudges the monster world's un-involvement with mankind (but not in the "peace and harmony" sort of way). Unlike Drac, who has tried to stay as far away from humans to keep him, Mavis and the rest of monster kind safe, Lydia misses hunted them as food and using them as fodder for the Bad Friday celebration.
* GuiltyPleasures: Throughout the episode "Hotel Pennsylvania", Lydia does everything she can to keep Mavis and her friends from watching the [[ShowWithinAShow titular human show]], even confiscating all of the televisions in the hotel and stationing a guard-hellhound on the bridge to keep them from leaving. By the very end, we find Lydia ''also'' watching the show on all of the confiscated [=TVs=].
* NightmareFace: When angered, she makes a angry face that intimidates everyone just like her brother and niece, complete with FlamingHair.
* PerpetualFrowner: She usually very grumpy, and thus does not amuse easily. This is even PlayedForLaughs in "How Do You Solve A Problem Like Medusa", were after seeing Medusa humiliated, she struggles to bring herself to smile at her old rival's humiliation, disturbing Mavis and her friends as she does so.
* PurpleIsPowerful: Her main color theme is purple and she's a strict, authoritative figure.
* SiblingRivalry: It is implied that Drac out performed her in various things ever since he was born, dethroning her as winner of the Bad Friday competition when he first tried out.
* StaffOfAuthority: Always seen carrying a black with a purple orb at the top with Diane seen sitting on it. This symbolizes her being in charge of Hotel Transylvania.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Lydia looks almost ''exactly'' like her brother, Dracula. The only difference being in gender and hair color.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: "Breakfast at Lydia's" shows she ''adores'' Quasimodo's goulash. She ''always'' has it for breakfast and ''scarfs'' it down whenever she has it.

----
* BasementDweller: He spends almost all his time down in his small basement-like room in the hotel playing video games.
* CloudCuckoolander: He tends to be a bit loopy.
** TheCloudCuckoolanderWasRight: Despite his eccentricity, he often provides Mavis and her friends with useful information.
* CoolUncle: Uncle Gene is a lot closer and friendlier with Mavis than Aunt Lydia. Mavis enjoys spending time with him to play video games or go on road trips, and is sometimes disappointed by how he spends so much time cooped up in his room with his eyes glued to a screen instead of spending more time with her.
* LooksLikeOrlok: He's noticeably much more monstrous looking than the other members of the Dracula family, being hunched over and totally bald, with pupiless eyes and pointy ears.

----
* ButtMonkey: A mild example, but Linda finds herself in a fair amount of slapstick and mishaps with various monsters throughout the movie (getting accidentally absorbed inside Blobby, doused by Bigfoot's teardrop, and having blood beater spat all over her blouse by Dracula.) She even gets frozen by [[spoiler: ''Dennis'']] during the DancePartyEnding - though to be fair, Mike was visibly embarrassed by her...enthusiasm.
* DeadpanSnarker: Mike uses his snark to call out Linda's moments of insensitivity.
* HartmanHips: Linda has these.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Mike is bigger and rounder than the lithe and smaller Linda.
* InnocentBigot: Linda says some stereotypical things about monsters, but it's more due to being InnocentlyInsensitive than malice.
* NiceGuy: Despite their moments of insensitivity, they both mean well and are overall good people.
* ObnoxiousInLaws: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. They prove to be very nice people, their only faults being moments of accidental insensitivity, mostly from Linda.

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mkt010_quasi1.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JonLovitz, Creator/ScottMcCord (TV series)

Quasimodo Wilson, the former Hunchback of Notre Dame, is now the gourmet chef at Hotel Transylvania. He has a pet rat named Esmeralda and is the main antagonist of the first film.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: His hair is green instead of gray in ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvaniaTheSeries''.
* AdaptationalVillainy: The original version of Quasimodo (and the version in the [[{{WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameDisney}} Disney adaptation]]) were objectively heroic.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: It's not clear if he's actually a monster, especially since the original character was human, just deformed. One theory is that he's a ghoul, but nothing is said about this in the films.
* AngryChef: In the episode "Breakfast at Lydia's", he throws a tantrum and quits as head chef of the hotel when Mavis asks for a pinch of salt to go with her ghoulash.
* BadBoss: Whenever Drac finds something wrong with his food, he takes it out on a gargoyle waiter, [[NeverMyFault blaming them for it]].
* ChefOfIron: Takes on a squad of castle guards and the gargoyle waiters and manages to evade them easily.
--> When you bump with the hump, you land on your rump!
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He doesn't appear in the sequel. Presumably, Drac fired him for trying to cook Jonathan, and even if he didn't do it immediately, Quasimodo's hostility toward humans probably made him too much of a liability when the hotel started welcoming human guests. He has made sporadic appearances in the TV Series, though.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: In the ''Hotel Transylvania: The Series'' episode "Brain Drain", Mavis' Uncle Gene is known to "sleep-gossip". One of the secrets he reveals is that Quasimodo's real name is Rainbow.
* EvilChef: The head chef who has major hatred for humans (as opposed to the fear the other monsters have) and not above trying to cook them.
* FrenchCuisineIsHaughty: He is French.
* FrenchJerk: He's a complete jerk with a thick French accent.
* HateSink: He is the least sympathetic character in the film and he unapologetically tries to kill Johnny, giving the audience someone to root against when the movie has no antagonists.
* ImAHumanitarian: He kidnaps Jonathan with the intent of baking him into a pie.
* InNameOnly: Doesn't have much in common with Victor Hugo's tragic misunderstood monster. Though he may be [[CompositeCharacter based mostly]] on Igor.
* {{Jerkass}}: The least likable character in the movie.
* LargeHam: Prone to over-the-top dramatics.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Said Gargoyle waiter takes advantage of him being frozen from Dracula's power by sticking his finger up his nose.
* PlotIrrelevantVillain: Aside from trying to cook Johnny and exposing him as a human to the other monsters, he really has nothing to do with the main plot of the first movie, which is about the CharacterDevelopment of Dracula, Mavis, and Johnny.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Not seen or mentioned in the sequels. With his actions in the first film he was most likely fired but it is never stated.

[[caption-width-right:350:'''''[[BigWhat HUMANS?!?!?!?]]''''']]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RobRiggle

A demonic-looking vampire bat that works under Vlad, Bela is an angry and misanthropic monster who thinks that humans shouldn't be with monsters.
----
* AxCrazy: Per his BerserkButton of humans, he basically has no issue with murdering anyone that affiliates with, or is human.
* BerserkButton: The mere existence and presence of humans is enough to make him extremely enraged.
* ConflictKiller: His hatred of humans drives the endgame of the second film, and also makes the Dracula family put aside their problems with each other to defend Dennis and Winnie.
* FantasticRacism: He's even '''''more''''' misanthropic than Vlad.
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: After his colony of bat monsters is driven off by the Draculas, Bela tries to take revenge by killing Jonathan, the easiest target and one that would hurt all the Draculas. Vlad stops him, but instead of killing him, he shrinks Bela down to mouse size and lets the wolf cubs have him.]]
* FlatCharacter: He doesn't have much to his character beyond his hatred of humans.
* IrrationalHatred: Bela's hatred of humans is never really explained. He just says they "don't belong with monsters".
* KnightOfCerebus: It doesn't last long, given [[CurbStompBattle how outclassed his species is against the Draculas]], but Bela is pretty much the first ''real'' bad guy encountered (notwithstanding the angry mob that killed Martha). He's genuinely threatening to those weaker than him.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Likely named after classic Dracula actor Creator/BelaLugosi.
* NoIndoorVoice: Being a staple of [[Creator/RobRiggle his actor]], Bela rarely speaks without yelling.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: He and his friends serve Vlad, but are a lot different from Vlad, Drac, and Mavis, most notably in that they're always demonic-looking. Also, Drac's hypnotism works on them when it doesn't work on more human-looking vampires.
* PlotIrrelevantVillain: Most of the film revolves around Dracula's hijinks training Dennis to be a vampire, and [[NoAntagonist doesn't have an active villain]]. Bela doesn't appear at all until the third act, primarily serving as an excuse to have a climactic battle.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: His eyes are dark red.
* TheStarscream: He originally worked for Vlad, who was already an intimidating vampire who raised Dracula to hate humans. But whereas Vlad eventually warmed up to humans, Bela continued to try to kill them, even if they were relatives of his master.
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: Unlike Quasimodo or Van Helsing, he basically has no comedic traits, and went as far as trying to [[spoiler: kill both Dennis and Winnie.]]
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The last we see of Bela is him getting licked by Wayne and Wanda's pups while shrunken down to mouse size, so it's unclear if he was either mauled to death by them offscreen, or simply just reverted to normal size and fired by Vlad.
* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:Bela showed no problem with hurting Dennis and Winnie, and actually ''did'' hurt the latter.]]

* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: She spends much of ''Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation'' hating monsters, and particularly intent on killing Dracula. [[spoiler:By the end of the movie, she's realized that monster life has value as well, and in love with Dracula.]]
* BecomingTheMask: She pretends to accept monsters and feigns romantic interest in Dracula so as to mislead them into thinking that she's not against them. [[spoiler:She becomes the mask when she genuinely starts to love Dracula and realizes that monsters aren't all that bad.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: She acts like a cheery and kind woman, and Dracula falls head over heels for her. However, this is all a façade for her very sinister plan to slay Drac and all the other monsters on the ship. [[spoiler:This is subverted later on, as she starts to return Dracula's feelings for her and even saves his life when Van Helsing tries to kill him.]]
* CharacterDevelopment: Ericka started with an intense hatred toward monsters but comes to realize they aren't all bad while falling in love with Dracula.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Erika is the first major female villain in the series, and along with her great-grandfather, the first antagonists to be humans rather than other monsters. Erika also plays a crucial role in the main plot, and has significantly more screentime and development than either Quasimodo or Bela from the previous films. [[spoiler:She's also the first antagonist to [[HeelFaceTurn become an ally]], whereas Quasimodo and Bela both faced humiliation for all the things that they had wrought.]]
* TheDragon: Serves as one to her great-grandfather. While Abraham Van Helsing is the true BigBad, she does most of the work. [[spoiler: She has a HeelFaceTurn in the end]].
* FantasticRacism: She thinks monsters are "disgusting", and the cruise is a trap to slay all of them. [[spoiler: She loses this mentality once she genuinely starts to fall in love with Drac.]]
* {{Foil}}: To Martha. Both are love interests to Dracula who he "zinged" with. Martha was his FirstLove and wife whom he had Mavis with, was a vampire, wore all black, dies at the hands of evil humans, had long hair, a NiceGirl from the start, she had a [[SmallRoleBigImpact small but pivotal role]] (especially in the first movie), but most of her character isn't fleshed out; Ericka is Drac's SecondLove ([[spoiler:with them being engaged by the end of the third movie]]), is a human, wears all white, is alive by the end of the third film, received notable CharacterDevelopment, has short and white hair, and starts off as the BigBad before making a HeelFaceTurn.
** She's also a foil to Mavis, being a [[spoiler:villianous, human female character who spent most of her life living on a cruiseship. Unlike Mavis, she never rebelled against her (great-grand)father and enthusiastically did their bidding to an advanced age, at least before she met Drac.]]
* GibberishOfLove: [[spoiler: She slips into this when Drac proposes to her at the end of the third movie. She says yes once she can speak clearly.]]
* HartmanHips: Ericka has wide hips and a big butt. They stand out in all of her outfits
* TheHeavy: [[spoiler:She does all the grunt work for her great-grandfather, who doesn't get directly involved until she brings him the McGuffin that has the power to kill Drac.]]

* KindnessButton: The first time she doesn't fake kindness around Drac is when he opens up about losing his wife and raising his daughter alone since she was a baby. [[spoiler:Since she herself lost her parents when she was a baby, this is why she's sympathetic to them.]]
* LightIsNotGood: In contrast to a majority of the monsters, who [[DarkIsNotEvil aren't that scary in spite of their macabre appearance]], she wears a white Captain's uniform with gold highlights, along with white hair, and has goals firmly rooted in killing the monsters.

* SecondLove: [[spoiler:To Dracula, since his first love and wife, Martha, died. She reciprocates his feelings for her, and the two eventually become engaged.]]
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: [[spoiler:After many failed attempts at killing Dracula, Ericka first begins to warm up to him when she sees him playing around in the water with his adorable little family. This intensifies when they share some brief bits of their family history and Drac's pressures of dating after losing his wife. She begins to genuinely return his affections when she realizes he's not the evil monster she was raised to believe he is.]]
* VanHelsingHateCrime: Just present as just plain not liking monsters than them having done anything to her. Extra points for ''being'' a Van Helsing to boot. [[spoiler:Though it's revealed this is from her upbringing from Abraham. Once actually interacting with Drac, she starts to come around to the notion that not all monsters are bad.]]
* VillainousCrush: [[spoiler:She's TheHeavy of the third film, begins to genuinely fall for Dracula.]]
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Ericka has pure white hair, but [[BitchInSheepsClothing pretends]] to be a sweet woman while trying to slay Drac and his friends. [[spoiler:This is subverted once she makes a HeelFaceTurn]].
* ZanyScheme: Just like her great-grandfather, she has a tendency into trying to assassinate Drac as quickly as possible (like smashing him with boats, or spiking guacamole with garlic oil), even despite the fact Abraham is taking things slow to ensure Drac is truly taken down for good at Atlantis. [[spoiler:Luckily, both of them grow out of it, at varied times.]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JimGaffigan

The legendary monster hunter. Though he wants to kill ''all'' monsters, he has a special contempt for Dracula, who has evaded him endlessly.
----
* AdaptationalVillainy: Since Abraham Van Helsing is the most famous monster hunter in fiction and the monsters of ''Hotel Transylvania'' are [[AdaptationalHeroism much less evil]] than in their source material, it's obvious that this version of Van Helsing is more malevolent than other incarnations. However, he goes above and beyond by wanting to kill ''every'' monster, not just Dracula. [[spoiler:He does, however, have a HeelFaceTurn after Dracula saves his life despite having every reason in the world at that point to let him die, which makes him let go of this mindset.]]
* AdaptationalWimp: Well, since this Dracula is still alive (for lack of better term) in the present day, this Abraham needs to have failed to kill him. Not only this, he's tried to kill Drac numerous times, but the Count constantly beats him and considers him a pest instead of a threat.
* {{Archenemy}}: For Dracula, or at least he seems to ''think'' of himself as such. In reality, Dracula considers him to be a, particularly persistent, nuisance at best.
* BaldOfEvil: His hair receded into this, and he laments the loss of the "golden locks" he had when he was younger.
* BigBad: Of ''Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation'', despite miniscule screen time.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Unlike Quasimodo and Bela, Van Helsing is a human who hates and hunts monsters, instead of being a monster himself. Unlike the prior two, who mainly serve as [[PlotIrrelevantVillain minor obstacles who don't affect the actual plot]] of their respective films, Van Helsing actively drives the major conflict of the third movie, from his grudge with Dracula and monsters as a whole to Ericka's [[ConflictingLoyalty uncertainties]] about the prejudices she's been taught. [[spoiler:And while Quasimodo and Bela were introduced as allies before revealing their more antagonistic sides, Van Helsing is introduced as a threat to the monsters but ultimately [[HeelFaceTurn changes his ways]] and becomes considered a member of the family, like Ericka.]]
* {{Cyborg}}: In order to keep himself alive, he replaced his body piece by piece with clumsy SteamPunk tech to the point where the only remaining parts of his are his head, arms and a few internal organs.
* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler:Dracula saves his life in the endgame of ''Summer Vacation'', and makes it clear that he doesn't hold anything against him. It's also PlayedForLaughs as the monsters on the cruise ship are justifiably mad at him, but he sways them by giving all of them full refunds.]]
* FamilyHonor: His main motivation. Abraham's three immediate predecessors were established monster hunters, and he intends to preserve the Van Helsing family legacy.
* {{Foil}}: To Dracula. Like Dracula was with Mavis, Abraham raised Ericka to [[FantasticRacism hate the other side of the human-monster divide]], only for her to end up in a cross-species relationship that, while horrified at first, he approves of in the end after learning to let go of his prejudices.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: He believes that monsters are abominations that should be stamped out, yet by the main events of ''Summer Vacation'', it would be a stretch for him to qualify as a human, considering his [[{{Cyborg}} mechanical upgrades]].
* HeelFaceTurn: It takes awhile as he continues with his scheme [[spoiler: even when he sees Ericka switching sides. But finally pulls this once his scheme is foiled and wounds up getting ''saved'' by Dracula.]]
* HunterOfMonsters: What he is most famous for, having inherited the job from his ancestors.
* {{Hypocrite}}:
** He hates monsters and plots to destroy them, yet [[spoiler:he is fine employing FishPeople for his cruise-liner and using a singing [[KrakenAndLeviathan Kraken]] to exterminate them[[note]]It could be argued as with many dictators and others who share similar prejudices he merely "finds them useful" and would likely have also killed them as well[[/note]].]]
** He wants to destroy monsters, yet by the movie's plot in present day he has rendered himself a {{Cyborg}} to prolong his life past human limitations, making him no less monster-like than artificially-created monsters like Frankenstein.
* IronButtMonkey: During his [[RoadRunnerVsCoyote Wile E. Coyote-style chases with Dracula]], he took a lot more punishment than normal humans would be able to.
* LightningGun: He is introduced carrying a plasma globe-topped RayGun capable of [[ShockAndAwe shooting lightning]].
* TheManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler:Ericka is merely helping carry out his scheme to kill Dracula and the other monsters.]]
* NonActionBigBad: [[spoiler:In the present, as he's in no shape to fight. He merely directs the Kraken to kill for him.]]
* RoadRunnerVsCoyote: He can be considered the most persistent of Dracula's pursuers and yet was thwarted every time.
* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: He isn't seen alive in the trailers; only his picture is present. As such, the trailers make it seem that Ericka is the BigBad out to finish what he started.
* TerroristsWithoutACause: His FantasticRacism does not seem to be based around a particular ideology or motivation other than exterminating monsters being the Van Helsing FamilyBusiness.
* TopHeavyGuy: In his heyday, his upper body was ''gargantuan'' in comparison to his tiny legs.
* VanHelsingHateCrime: The TropeNamer even. He has no other motive behind hunting monsters besides preserving the Van Helsing family legacy. He wishes to set Ericka on the same path, even if it means [[spoiler:raising her in solitude.]]
* VillainHasAPoint: When he scolds Ericka for trying to kill Dracula behind his back, he mentions that if Dracula discovered who she was, it could have ruined the legacy. And truth be told, Dracula finding out about Ericka's true identity could not only put a huge wrench in their plans, but also break Drac's trust in her for life.
* WalkingSpoiler: His exact role in the film is a surprise.

[[quoteright:252:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cartwrights.png]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LindaKash (Kitty Cartwright), Ryan Belleville (Donald Cartwright), Creator/SundayMuse ("The Nosepicker")
A human family who live just outside of Hotel Transylvania, composed of the vehemently monster-hating Kitty Cartwright, her clueless husband Donald, and their baby daughter, known to the monsters only as "The Nosepicker". They only appear in ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvaniaTheSeries''.
----
* BumblingDad: Donald isn't very smart, much to his wife's ire.
* FantasticRacism: Kitty hates monsters and her plans to get rid of them frequently put her at odds with Mavis and her friends.
* HartmanHips: Kitty has very noticeable and large hips.
* HenpeckedHusband: Donald is constantly pushed around by his wife, although given that he's consistently shown to be very unintelligent, it's clear that Kitty wears the pants in the relationship.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: "The Nosepicker". It's what the monsters refer to the Cartwrights' daughter as, but what her parents call her is never stated in the show.
