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

He is the cousin of Jackson Jekyll/Holt Hyde.

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 it is not known which twin is which.

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 appears in Fright On!, the 2011 Halloween Television Special.

In the books her normie name is Leena and she is shown to be an extreme troublemaker, as she is in boot camp throughout the whole series.

Operetta
A girl who goes on a date with Holt Hyde. Her father (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. Her first webisode appearance was in Hiss-teria, and she now has a profile on the website. She is shown to be a bit of a diva, but with that's just her independent spirit. Her father moved to New Orleans when she was young, where she picked up the local "twang" and a love for country music.

Nefera de Nile
Nefera is Cleo de Nile's older sister. According to Cleo de Nile's School's Out Diary, she has always been extremely hard on Cleo.

A character whose face is never seen. He wears a letterman's jacket.He looks like Heath Burns.

He first appears in Horrorscope as the object of Draculaura's crush.

HooDude

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.

Teala
Teala is a troll character who lived under a bridge. So far she has only been mentioned in Toralei's diary.

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 (presumably) has a son in the name of Billy Phaidin.

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.

== Book-Exclusive Characters==

Melody Carver
Melody is percieved as being a normie. She once had a large nose, which her plastic surgeon father fixed for her, both for cosmetic reasons and to help her breathe better. The family also moved to Salem, Oregon to help with her asthma, and Melody has to start at a new school, Merston High. According to Cleo's servant Manu, she is the daughter of the Siren Marina, who it is later discovered, gave her up for adoption.

Candace Carver
Candace is Melody's confident older sister. Though her constant optimism irritates Melody, her advice is, more often than not, extremely useful.

A huge flirt herself, Candace rarely keeps a relationship and looks at dating as more of a game than anything. She is one Billy Phaidin's best friends and gave him the idea of visibility. They started the NUDI (Normies Uncool with Discriminating Idiots) group to promote RADs.

Billy Phaidin
Billy is the invisible RAD introduced in the first book. He took a shine to Frankie and became one of her best friends, agreeing with her about RAD-Normie equality. It wasn't long before he develiped a crush on Frankie and it wasn't long before they decided to just be friends.

Billy is sarcastic, laid-back and loves to pull pranks. He strongly supports equality, and was a founding member of NUDI.

Bekka Madden
Bekka is the main antagonist on the Monster High book series. Though she seems innocent and friendly at first, but she backstabbed Melody when she found out that Jackson was a RAD. She is very discriminating against RADs, shooting out propaganda whenever she can. This hate mostly stems from the fact that Brett, her ex-boyfriend, chose Frankie Stein over her. By the third book, Melody used her newfound RAD powers to force out all her friend's true feelings. Bekka is left humiliated and friendless, increasing her hatred greatly. Between the second and thrid books she leader of the group HUNT (Humans Unite No Tolerance).

Brett Redding
Brett started out as Bekka's boyfriend, but soon ended up with Frankie Stein, passing out into a coma when he saw her head fall off. He is a huge RAD supporter, and came up with the idea of a video where the monsters all poured out their feelings, but their faces would be blurred. The video was sabotauged and though he was originally accused, he cleared his name and got back together with Frankie.
