Frankie Stein
15 days old, Frankie Stein is new to Monster High. She is the daughter of Dr. Frankeinstein's monster and his bride. Her pet is a puppy named Watzit.

She is friendly and very sweet. Draculaura is a big fan of pink and black, and loves to take long walks under the sun (with her parasol, that is).

Clawdeen Wolf

Ghoulia Yelps
Ghoulia is the daughter of a zombie couple. She is the smartest girl at Monster High, although she only speaks "zombie" -- moans and groans. She has a pet owl named Sir Hoots A Lot.

She is shy and bookish, but quite thoughtful.

Spectra Vondergeist
Spectra is the daughter of the Ghosts. She writes an anonymous gossip blog and an advice column for the Monster High student newspaper, and as such is a bit of a rumor-monger. She can float and pass through walls.

Holt Hyde
Holt Hyde is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Hyde. He is a DJ and has a pet chameleon, Crossfade. He is in the book just with the name "DJ Hyde". DJ has a major crush on Frankie Stein and calls her "Firecracker" because she sparks him.

His alter ego is Jackson Jekyll. Holt was first introduced in the second wave of dolls and appeared for the first time in Hyde and Shriek.

Jackson Jekyll
Jackson Jekyll is the son of Dr. and Mrs. Jekyll. He is a new kid at school, and believes he is a "normie" (no apparent monster influence), because he is unaware of his dual nature. In the books he has a crush on a girl named Melody Carver; he later finds out who he truly is.

He was first introduced in the Gloom Beach doll set and appeared as a student on the Monster High site in May, and his bio was added to the site in July. His first webisode appearance was in Fear Pressure. His alter ego is Holt Hyde.

Gil is an Aquaman, similar to the character Abe Sapien from Mike Mignola's Hellboy comics. His full name is Gillington Webber. He wears a helmet containing water on his head when he is on dry land.

First seen in the webisode Blue Lagoona as the object of Lagoona's crush. He is also friends with Slow-Moe and even acts as his wing-man in dealing with Ghoulia. He is shown to be a pretty decent guy.

Heath Burns
An arrogant boy whose head catches on fire when he becomes excited or crushes on someone.

He is a showoff with a proclivity for bragging. His hotshot attitude is rather off-putting to the others, and usually ends up looking foolish because of it.

She and her friends, the cat girl twins, quit the fearleading squad in the webisode Scream Building, leaving Cleo in the lurch. They later continue to sabotage and gossip about the ghoulfriends, though their plans usually backfire.

Catgirl Twins
The twins are on the fearleading squad with Cleo and Toralei, but they quit when the entire team walks out in the webisode Scream Building.

In season two of the Webisodes they pal around with Toralei, causing mayhem, but don't speak themselves. In the wave 3 diaries their names are revealed to be Purrsephone and Meowlody (but who is who has not been mention)

Howleen Wolf
Clawdeen and Clawd Wolf's younger sister. She and Clawdeen share a room, and the two do not appear to get on very well at all. At school, her locker is next to Abbey Bominable's and she is said to have been bullied by Manny Taur.

She was mentioned in Clawdeen Wolf's Diary and several of the diaries in wave 3. She is yet to appear in the webisodes or as a doll. Like Cleo's older sister Nefera, she doesn't make an apperance in the books.

Operetta
A girl who goes on a date with Holt Hyde. Her father (presumably the Phantom of the Opera) teaches a keyboard class at Monster High.

Mentioned in Holt Hyde's Diary, August 10th and in the wave 3 diaries. According to the survival guide included with Lagoona's Classroom doll, Operetta previously borrowed the Mad Science book from the library before Lagoona. Does not appear in any webisodes or on the Monster High website.

Melody Carver
Melody is a character exclusive to the Monster High novel series by Lisi Harrison. She does not appear in any webisodes or on the Monster High website.

He is made from spare parts and looks like a rag doll.

At the end of the episode, he becomes alive possibly due to the lightning when Frankie made him.

Manny Taur
A minotaur character who first appears in Miss Infearmation. He has a sister named Minnie.

He also made an appearance in Abbey Bominable's Diary.

He was previously seen as in the background of some webisodes.

Daughter of Arachne
The unnamed Daughter of Arachne was one of three in the vote to which doll will be made in 2012. A prototype of her doll was previewed at San Diego Comic Con. Since Scarah Screams won the vote, it is unclear if Daughter of Arachne and Headless Headmistress Bloodgood will still be made into dolls or not.

Background characters
The students who appear in the backgrounds, classrooms and hallways of Monster High are as dear to fans as the main characters. Learn more about them here.

Headmistress Bloodgood
The Headless Headmistress is head of Monster High, and in charge of discipline. She takes after her name, and is able to remove her head from her body.

She rides a horse named Nightmare and carries a riding crop. It seems likely that her character is inspired by the Headless Horseman from the classic story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". Teacher of Trigular Calcometry 101. Abbey Bominble and Shiver stay with her when Abbey starts attending Monster High.

A doll for Headless Headmistress Bloodgood was previewed at San Diego Comic-Con 2011 along with Scarah Screams and the currently unnamed Daughter of Arachne, with the posibility of being sold in 2012 should she win the vote between the three of them. Since Scarah Screams won the vote, it is currently unclear whether she and the Daughter of Arachne will ever be made into dolls or not.

The Mad Science Teacher, Mr. Hackington
The Monster High Science teacher seems to be a classic British torturer/executioner, with his accent, butcher's apron, leather mask and cabinet of weapons. He tries to make the students dissect three-eyed frogs, though Lagoona intervenes and frees them. He also serves lunch (first season only).

He has a mother (who looks like him, but with a old lady bun), who broke her back in Freakout Friday, and a lab assistant in Hatch Me If You Can.

Education:
 * Skinner College - B.S., Chemistry
 * Lancet and Czechit School of Science - M.S., Taxidermy

"A dull mind cannot cut the cheese of knowledge."

Seen in the webisodes Freedom Fight, Bad Scare Day, Freakout Friday, Hatch Me If You Can, and Screech to the Beach, and on the Monster High website.

The Invisible Man, Mr. Where
The Invisible Man wears bandages, gloves, and a hat (Shown to use both a beret and a fedora) to make himself visible, and he tops off the ensemble with glasses and a scarf. And he can pop up anywhere. He appears to be based visually off of the Claude Rains portrayal of the character. He also has the ability to extend his invisibility power to cloak his clothing as well.

Unlike the original character, Dr. Griffin from the H.G. Wells novel, He is quite sane and benevolent. He is shown to be very polite and an intellectual. His limited scenes of student interaction imply he is held in high esteem by the students, and he likes them as well.

In the books he (presumbly) has a son in the name of Billy Phaidan.

Seen in the webisodes Clawdition giving auditions for the school production of Hamlet, in the hallway in Bad Scare Day, giving a test in Copy Canine, revealing the Monster High Scream Queen in Rumor Run Wild, and on the Monster High website.

Coach Igor
A classic hunch-backed lab assistant who teaches gym class. He has one peg leg. When he takes over Study Howl, he makes the students run laps. You can never rest with a coach like this!

Seen in the webisode Photo Finish and on the Monster High website.

Mr. Lou Zarr
Louis Zarr serves as a substitute teacher when one of the regular staff are unavailable, as seen in the webisode Substitute Creature, in the television special New Ghoul @ School. He appears to be the only regular human in the show. He is a stiff, humorless, uncompromising hardnose about education. His lessons are shown to be so boring they tend to put students, and even himself, to sleep.

Needless to say, his name is an obvious play on the word "Loser", and he's the first normie in Monster High.

Mr. Mummy, Math Teacher
Favorite Quote: "Knowledge is the cure for every curse."
