Top 10 Best Monster High Characters
You've probably got your Monster High favorites locked in faster than Draculaura can blink, but now's your chance to see how your picks stack up with the rest of the Monster High crew. This list is where fans come together to celebrate the ghouls and guys who slay the school scene, one creeptastic look at a time. It's not just about who has the coolest outfits or the wildest monster backstory. Those things definitely help, but it also comes down to who brings the most personality, drama, and fun to the halls of Monster High.Maybe you've got love for the fierce werewolf with unstoppable style. Or maybe you're into the quieter, under-the-radar types who don't always get the spotlight but absolutely deserve it. This is your chance to show some support. Voting is super easy and honestly kind of addicting. You'll probably find yourself scrolling through the whole thing just trying to decide who's more iconic.
Twyla is the daughter of the Boogey Man and tends to hide in shadows. She helps capture nightmares and is shy but observant. Twyla is definitely one of the best characters. She is so unique and different. She really stands out from the crowd. Most of the Monster High characters care about popularity, fashion, and boys, but not Twyla.
Twyla has expressed that she doesn't care about being popular. She feels more comfortable in the shadows, and she hasn't said much about fashion or boys. For the girls who are kind of annoyed by the constant chatter about boys and fashion from the Monster High girls, Twyla is an awesome and relatable character.
She is the best.
Clawdeen Wolf is the daughter of a werewolf and attends Monster High with her siblings. She is known for her sharp fashion sense and loyalty to her pack. I love Clawdeen Wolf! She is my favorite character in Monster High, and I want her to be the main character because she is clawsome and I'm dying for her fierce style!
She is confident, so I just love her! I love her much more than any other characters, and she has the nicest clothes in the entire thing. So shut up, Frankie! Clawdeen is better than you!
I really love Clawdeen and her style - so fun! Because of her, I have experience in studying fashion design (not finished, but I'm interested in coming back to that in the future. It was hard and expensive. Now I'm working in a bar). I want to find my own style in clothes and also make my own version of Clawdeen (cosplay? art? I don't know yet).
Because of her and the anime Spice and Wolf, I found Furry. Yes, I have a lot of plans with art and costumes, tiny pieces from my childhood and different periods of life making one big puzzle, and Clawdeen is one of the most important parts.
20 y.o. Elena from Minsk
Abbey Bominable is the daughter of the Yeti and comes from the Himalayas. She has ice powers and speaks with a distinct accent reflecting her heritage. She's amazing! Her sense of humor and how she doesn't really care about the boys that much. She also has an amazing design! I knew she was my favorite the first time I saw her.
Abbey is really splendid as a character. Brave, funny, proud, and so on. My favorite! It's thanks to her that I love Monster High. With the restart, it makes me sad to see that she still has not appeared again. I would have loved to see a movie about her.
And then the icing powers, it's too cool! In short, a great character that really deserves its place in the top! I would have put her first!
Draculaura is a vampire who is over 1,600 years old and is the adopted daughter of Count Dracula. She is a vegetarian vampire who faints at the sight of blood. Who doesn't love Draculaura? She brings cheer to everyone! She is funny, kind-hearted, cute, and has a good sense of humor! She is always smiling but a bit emotional. I actually love her very much. She is one of my favorite characters in Monster High and better than the other characters.
Draculaura is awesome. She is so nice and friendly, and she cares a lot for her friends.
Who would think that she is ugly? For me, Draculaura is very pretty, and her taste in fashion is very cool. Her pink highlights really suit her black hair and her style overall.
Cleo de Nile is the daughter of the Mummy and a former princess of ancient Egypt. She often leads social events at Monster High. Cleo gets on my nerves. I used to love her, but now I don't. She is the meanest character in the show, has a disgusting face, and is jealous of Nefera. She is also mean to Deuce Gorgon. Poor Deuce! Why are you afraid of her? Seriously, Deuce is one of my favorite characters, but Cleo is not.
Cleo is quite an interesting character. A seemingly snobby princess with a sensitive side and great affection for her close friends. I also liked her adversarial relationships with Toralei and Nefera, which placed emphasis on the competitive streak of all three characters.
Lagoona Blue is the daughter of a sea monster and was raised in the Great Scarrier Reef. She is an excellent swimmer and feels most comfortable in water. Lagoona is absolutely the best! She is so nice and big-hearted! She is kind to everybody and doesn't let people judge her, especially about her and Gil dating. She was nice to Frankie even though Frankie didn't follow her advice and is always confident about things!
I also think she is absolutely adorable! One of the cutest characters to me. I think Lagoona deserves to be higher than #7. She should at least be one of the top 5!
She's probably my favorite of the main characters. Here are a few reasons for that:
- She's generally level-headed, which is nice compared to a lot of the other characters.
- She's kind and compassionate.
- Her relationship with Gil is pretty realistic for a kid's cartoon.
- I adore her design, especially the scaled beanie on her basic look.
- Her accent is so charming.
- She's a perfect mix between girly-girl and tomboy.
Spectra Vondergeist is the daughter of ghosts and can pass through walls. She runs the Monster High gossip blog. Spectra rarely got the spotlight, but her design was impressive. She also offered insight into the backgrounds of other characters since her goal was to find out everything about them.
Spectra is amazing. She loves taking photos when she sees strange moments. Spectra is definitely one of my favorite characters in the show. She should be first after Frankie and Draculaura.
Spectra is beautiful. I love her. She is one of my favorite Monster High characters. She's like me because I love gossip stories.
Venus McFlytrap is the daughter of a plant monster. She advocates for environmental awareness and has the ability to control plant life. Venus cares about everything, and I think she would have been a great student body president if she had run. She has great hair, and I've always loved her fashion. I love how she cares about the Earth, and her power is also great. I can't believe they made her a rocker in the reboot.
The best character of the show. Venus McFlytrap is amazing and the sweetest Monster High character ever. She especially loves nature. She is even better than Cleo and Lagoona.
Underrated character. Part environmental activist, part scientist. Her design made her similar to Poison Ivy, DC's resident ecoterrorist. I wish Venus got more of the spotlight.
Rochelle Goyle is the daughter of gargoyles and is originally from Scaris, France. She has wings and a protective personality. Rochelle is the best! She is the greatest character in the show! I actually don't like Cleo because she always gets on my nerves. Rochelle is an amazing character for the show. She should be the number one greatest character ever.
How is Rochelle not part of the top ten list? She's super pretty, and I love her French accent. She was also great in the Monster High Scaris movie.
Rochelle is extremely perfect. She's even better than Clawdeen and Lagoona because they suck.
Howleen Wolf is Clawdeen Wolf's younger sister. She is eager to find her own identity separate from her siblings. She has always been a favorite of mine. I love basically everything about her.
I love Howleen. She is so pretty and likable. I prefer her over Clawdeen. Sorry, Clawdeen fans.
The Newcomers
Scarah Screams is the daughter of a banshee. She communicates telepathically and is known for her eerie silence. I love Scarah! She is kind of creepy, but she is kind and sweet.
Djinni "Whisp" Grant is the darker twin sister of Gigi Grant. She seeks to escape her shadowy existence and obtain her own power. Whisp is a beautiful character. I personally like her design better before she became the Genie, but thankfully there was an exclusive doll of her with her original colors.
I can somewhat relate to Whisp because I've always felt like I was stuck in my older sister's shadow. She is by far my favorite villain, and her backstory is the best too.
I like to think that even after turning "good" and becoming the new Genie, she's still mischievous and sly.
Honestly, she has one of the most interesting backstories and aspirations (to me). She's also an amazing villain.
Robecca Steam is the daughter of a mad scientist and is powered by steam. She is over a hundred years old and was once lost in time. Notice how there is nearly a monster representing every destination. Like Robecca - she represents a steam train from England (she's even got an accent). Lagoona is a stereotype of Australians who say crikey a lot, like surfing and swimming, and sound like a bushman after a long tucker.
Jinafire represents Chinese religion and style - even though that is just a racial stereotype. Rochelle is a gargoyle with a French accent, French style, and to top it off, has a French boyfriend who is very involved in romance. Isi Dawndancer sees visions, likes to dance in a certain way, has a family that all look the same, and has many stereotypical features from her home in New Mexico.
It's like racism has been put up with enough for these guys to start with the act. It's not like you would go up to someone and say, You're wearing a kimono, you must be Japanese!
Operetta is the daughter of the Phantom of the Opera. She is a talented musician and prefers working solo. She may not be the most monstrous, but the Phantom of the Opera never really was a monstrous monster in the first place, so she's acceptable. Her color scheme is stunning and unusual, and I love the way she styles.
She can be mean in her animated form from time to time, but she's just being herself. Nobody's perfect, and it would be rather difficult to be nice all the time. I'm not saying she's the best out of all the characters, though. But she's a nice addition to my collection, and I wish Mattel didn't get rid of her in the reboot. She wasn't that scary in the first place, so why they got rid of her is unknown.
Vandala Doubloons is the daughter of a pirate ghost. She has a wooden leg and sails on the ship of the River Styx. I like Vandala because she's a pirate. On her right side, she has a prosthetic leg, and I have a prosthetic leg too. We have that in common, but hers is cooler because hers is wooden.
Frankie Stein is the daughter of Frankenstein's monster and his bride. She was created only 15 days before first attending Monster High. Stop hating on Frankie so much! She is boring, but she's not that bad! The only reason she was mean to Abbey was that she thought Abbey threw the snowball instead of Toralei. She even apologized and said that she was wrong, okay?!
Come on, she looks pretty with the different colored eyes because she is unique! Also, Frankie does not solve everything, people. She just wants to help out! She is 16 days old! She doesn't know much and has a lot to learn!
I get it that she is sometimes annoying, but she helps out her friends because she is nice, and that's just what she does! She is not an annoying brat who is mean to everybody! Please stop saying that you want to kill her. She's already dead, and that is rude. She's not the main character in every movie!
She just doesn't know and maybe needs to adjust to the world more! It's fine if you disagree, but this is just my opinion. Sorry if this is long, I just like her, and I think it's sad that most of you don't really know what Frankie is truly like.
Sirena Von Boo is the daughter of a ghost and a mermaid. She floats instead of walks and has a dreamy, distracted demeanor. It's canon that she represents ADHD. As someone who has ADHD, I can say that she may not portray it very well, but I still love how Mattel at least tried. She's my comfort character.
Sirena, omg. She's so fabulous. Her tail is so beautiful. She's so gorgeous. Her voice is so cute. Her hair is so pretty. She's just so perfect. Please vote for her.
Sirena has great hair, and I love how she gets easily distracted. She always says the funniest stuff, especially in Haunted. She rocks!
Jinafire Long is the daughter of a Chinese dragon and comes from Fanghai. She has a strong connection to fire and is interested in fashion design. She's a gorgeous, sassy, creative dragon. Do I need to say more? I'm very happy I have her doll because her body sculpt is incredibly detailed. I love how elegant she is, but she's got that badass fire in her (both literally and figuratively).
A humanoid dragon with a fierce attitude and artistic skills. Likeable and at times adorable.
I absolutely love dragons, so of course, she is a favorite of mine.
Toralei Stripe is a werecat with a rebellious streak. She often challenges authority and pushes boundaries. I love Toralei. She is so funny and really pretty. Also, she had a horrible past, and she helped Monster High win two fearleading events. One, she helped Cleo make a better winning routine. Two, she stopped a spell that saved Cleo's routine at nationals and smiled when Cleo won.
When Jane Boolittle won the dance, it was because of Toralei! Plus, the only reason Cleo's dance routine was given to the vampires was because of puke face evil Frankie. Yet, she is hated, but people love Frankie. Come on, she cheats on boys, she was horrible to Abbey, but they are friends somehow.
She is in all the movies, has the best ideas, tells everyone's story for them, and Monster High would be better without Frankie.
Shiver is Abbey Bominable's pet woolly mammoth. He is small, furry, and shares her cold-resistant traits. This character is absolutely sweet and adorable, and I never want to take my eyes off it. If you wanted to know, Shiver is Abbey's pet. Please vote. This character is very low and is my second favorite. My favorite is C.A. Cupid, but she is last on the chart.
Watch the films and programs to see how brilliant these characters are.
I love Shiver. I think Mattel did not do a creative job at assigning pets, just giving Frankie a dog and Clawdeen a cat, but I think it was so original to give Abbey a baby mammoth!
Kiyomi Haunterly is the daughter of the Noppera-bō, a faceless ghost. She uses digital devices to express herself due to her lack of facial features. Kiyomi is kind and helpful to all of her new friends. She also demonstrates selflessness by protecting Draculaura and the other ghouls from detention chains.
So mysterious, yet so captivating. The daughter of the No Face Lady is truly something else.
Gigi Grant is the daughter of a genie and grants 13 wishes to those who free her from her lantern. She struggles with the consequences of wish-making. I love how genuinely kind she is. It's somewhat rare for genie characters to be benign and kind to their masters instead of twisting their wishes, but Gigi really does want to help everyone.
She's super sweet, and her voice is not annoying, even though it sounds a little bit like Apple White from Ever After High.
Poor Gigi. Having to grant horrible wishes for Howleen in Thirteen Wishes. You can tell she was upset. She is very kind.
Catty Noir is the daughter of a werecat and a famous pop star. She leaves her celebrity life to attend Monster High. I believe that Catty should be number 1. She is an amazing singer and is not afraid to show the world who she is. Although the pop star thing is getting a bit old, Catty Noir has remained a constant. She is true to herself and even left the music industry because she wasn't being true to herself and wanted to find her music.
I think she is a great role model for kids wanting to become singers or work in that industry.
You can never get too old for Monster High!
Catty Noir is actually one of the most beautiful characters, in my opinion. She has a gorgeous voice and creative clothing.
I also really like the concept of having a black-cat character who associates with bad luck and turns it into something that makes her luckier.
Jackson Jekyll is the son of Dr. Jekyll and transforms into Holt Hyde when stressed or excited. He is known for his intelligence and calm demeanor. Jackson is by far the most relatable. For a character who barely gets used in the television series anymore, he probably has the most depth along with Holt.
The character is constantly bullied in school for being a human. His parents are divorced, and the kid has several social issues. If you read his diary and pay attention to his behavior, he shows signs of depression and anxiety. In his diary, he states that when he visited his father, the next-door monsters would play kick the can - except Jackson was the can.
There has never been a more relatable character in the whole series.
River Styx is the daughter of the Grim Reaper and works as a ghostly guide. She carries a staff and wears skull motifs. The name River Styx originates from Greek mythology. It is a soul river in Hades' underworld. If you try to pass the soul river, the souls will drag you down. So, you have to pay the Grim Reaper so he can take you on his boat to the other side.
When I first heard of River Styxx (the doll), I knew exactly what the reference meant. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if anyone else did.
Gillington "Gil" Webber is the son of a freshwater monster. He requires a water-filled helmet to breathe on land.
Holt Hyde is the fiery alter ego of Jackson Jekyll. He is passionate about music and has a loud, energetic personality. I think Holt is ugly in 2D, but in 3D, he is definitely the handsomest!
