Ravana

Ravana is the primary antagonist of the Pixar short Sanjay's Super Team. He is Sanjay's supervillain re-imagining of the Hindu Demon King Ravana, a mythical monster from Hindu mythology. His super villain identity takes inspiration from Venom, a villain from the Marvel Comics series, though he resembles the villain Shapeshifter from the "Super Team" TV series.
==Background==
===Physical appearance===
Ravana is a large monstrous resembling the character of the Shapeshifter from Sanjay's favorite TV show Super Team. When he first appears, he rises from the smoke for a life-sized diya within the temple Sanjay ended up within. In his standard form, Ravana generally has a humanoid-like appearance often with a fierce-looking face consisting of a purple glow within his eyes and mouth. The weapons that Ravana grabs from each deity's statue causes him to grow two extra limbs as well as an additional head, causing him to become a powerful yet monstrous rakshasa. However, despite his massive size and that Sanjay with help from the Hindu deities managed to defeat him, he even reverted back to his standard form - albeit no longer having a menacing appearance that he used to, causing him to be calm within this state.
==Role in the short film==
Ravana first appears when Sanjay discovers him on a large diya's wick, resembling the villain Shapeshifter from the animated series "Super Team". Trying to escape from Ravana, Sanjay discovers that the temple doors are locked and thus unable to escape. Ravana then grabs two staffs from the statue of the deity Hanuman as he grows additional arms and heads upon taking several weapons from the statues of the deities. As Sanjay ignites the wick using his action figure of the Blue Flame (he notices his action figure emits sparks), both Ravana and Sanjay are knocked by the large blast. The statues of the three deities then transform into life-sized deities as they confront Ravana by countering all the weapons he throws at Sanjay and the deities as the deities protect him.
As soon as each of the deities - Durga, Vishnu, and Hanuman use a bell (which is the same one Sanjay's father uses at their house), the sound of the bells emit colorful rings which stall Ravana as the monster grabs several weapons combining them to create a trishula. Soon as Sanjay sees a reflection of the large diya resembling the bell his father uses, Sanjay decides to stop Ravana and as soon as Ravana gets close to him, Sanjay then smashes his action figure, which emits a wave of colorful lights stopping Ravana, as the monster gets absorbed into the diya thus defeating Ravana. As soon as Ravana fades away, the deity Vishnu gives Sanjay a replacement of Sanjay's action figure.
