Monster High lexicon

Monster High Creeptionary

One of the arguable charms of Monster High is its use of monsterifying the language of the characters by turning them into monster/scare/horror-themed puns. Common ways words are monsterfied is by the creation of portmanteaus with the words "claw", "scare", "scream", "ghoul", and "creep". Note that words aren't always monsterfied and that the same monsterfied words can be derived from multiple sources. For instance, "dodgeball" is just as likely to be used as "dodgeskull", and though "creature" is the monsterfied word of "teacher," when students go creature spotting in the catacombs, they are "creature spotting", not "teacher spotting".

Most of the characters' names themselves are monsterfied puns on regular names and words. In the Monster High book series, where monsters are discriminated by humans, this is a plot point, as the characters use adjusted versions of their monster names to keep their true identity hidden.
