Roy

**“***And what are* you *two dumbs doing here?***”**

― Roy, The Spooky Month Series

LARGE TRIGGER WARNING FOR IMPLIED SEXUAL ASSAULT

**Reynold**, often shortened to **Roy,** is the secondary antagonist of the Spooky Month series and is the leader of The Hatzgang. He first appears in Spooky Month - The Stars, in which him and his friends Ross and Robert, bully Skid and Pump. He's revealed to be of a wealthy family who disapprove of him hanging out with "plebeians" like his two friends, Ross and Robert, in addition to heavily implied to being SA'd by his uncle.

## Physical Appearance

Roy wears a blue baseball cap, with an orange-brown and light yellow striped sweater, black pants and black shoes. He is the shortest of the trio. He has reddish-brown curly hair, and seems to have darker lines around his eyes, which may resemble eyelashes or possibly eyeliner. Roy is typically seen with a large and mischievous grin, or an annoyed scowl.

## Personality

In each of his appearances in the series, Roy is seen bullying Skid and Pump verbally and physically. He is very emotional and lashes out if he feels threatened, which may suggest that he has an issue with not being in control. This is seen in Spooky Month - Unwanted Guest, when Roy realizes that the Hatzgang's encounter with the Eyes of the Universe was not a dream.

Despite not showing it much, Roy is capable of being nice and generous, at least to his friends, as he willingly gave the bag of candy in his car to Robert for his sick sister in Tender Treats. He also might trust his friends more than his own family.

## Appearances

### Spooky Month - The Stars

Roy, along with the rest of The Hatzgang, makes his first appearance in this episode, where they are waiting for Skid and Pump outside of Pump's house. The three team up on Skid and Pump, with Robert and Ross spitting in their faces and stomping on their feet, and Roy finishing by bonking them on the head. Roy then tricks the kids into going to the dangerous mansion on the hill, convincing them that there's a 'spooky party' taking place within it. Roy then tells Rob and Ross that the mansion is "where his uncle takes him", to which they both step away uncomfortably.

The three are later seen in what appears to be an argument about Roy's earlier comment about his uncle. They are put into a trance by the Eyes of the Universe, and are not seen for the rest of the episode.

### Spooky Month - Unwanted Guest

In this episode, Roy once again appears with the other two Hatzgang members. They seem to have been waiting outside of the hospital, and Roy begins to antagonize Skid and Pump as per usual, but stops when he notices Ross and Robert shivering in fear. When he questions them, Robert and Ross remind him what happened in their last encounter with the spooky kids, in which they mention the Eyes of the Universe. Roy's demeanor changes immediately, as he gets visibly nervous, also beginning to shiver as he realizes that this encounter was not a dream. Skid and Pump question if Roy would like to meet the monster again, and Roy grows defensive, yelling at them before also yelling at Ross when he attempts to comfort him.

The topic changes when Roy catches glimpse of the Happy Fella, and then asks what it is. Robert then starts to tell Ross about his sister's Happy Fella. After this, Roy begins to chuckle and rub his hands together in a rather stereotypical 'evil' manner, getting a cruel idea. While not shown on screen, he and the rest of the Hatzgang are the cause of Skid and Pump being beaten up, with Skid being shoved into the Happy Fella box, and Pump being forced into the Happy Fella's outfit.

### Spooky Month - Deadly Smiles

The Hatzgang are getting candies from the candy store when Kevin notices that Roy has stuffed his pockets with extra candies. After being called out, the Hatzgang makes a run for it. The Hatzgang then find the possessed Happy Fella out in the back of the candy store, to which Roy questions why it was laughing. Skid and Pump then encounter them, asking for the Happy Fella back. Roy takes advantage of this and doesn't give it back, to which Ross encourages Roy to just give it back, but is dismissed. Roy then asks for Skid's and Pump's clothes in exchange for the Happy Fella, to which Ross and Robert ridicule Roy for such a demand but then apologies after Roy insists that he didn't mean it in a creepy way and was only talking about their sweaters.

### Spooky Month - Tender Treats

Roy is seen alongside the other Hatzgang members, talking about trick-or-treating. Ross says that Roy should've brought a costume, to which Roy replies that his parents don't want him hanging out with them and that it's hard. Roberts reminds him it's for his sister and suggests getting a costume there. Roy sees two little kids and tells Robert it's a good idea while giggling menacingly. He then steals these kids' costumes and puts them on himself, claiming he's dressed like a rapper, to which Robert states it's not scary.

The gang then encounters Skid and Pump with a big box of candy. To Roy's question about their destination they say they're going to get more candy. Roy gets ready to demand some candy, but Ross stops him and drags him away, saying he doesn't have a costume, so he can't ask for candy. Roy gets confused at first, then irritated, saying it's still a costume. To Ross advice to just leave Skid and Pump alone he just groans and calls him "a party-pooper", meanwhile

Robert politely asks the kids for candy, they allow the gang to take some. Roy takes more than the others, leaving the kids a bit confused.

After they are left alone Roy checks his candy and Robert if it's enough. Robert replies they can get some more when Bob startles them. In fear, they give him the bags and he goes away, still leaving the boys infuriated since he took all their candy.

Robert gets irritated and Ross comforts him when Roy's parents come to pick their son up. It's revealed that Roy actually could bring the costume, so Ross and Robert look at him angrily. Carmen then tells Roy to get in the car. Roy frowns, but does as she says. Carmen says Roy shouldn't hang with Ross and Robert, calling them plebeians, to which they also frown, but still look upset because of Roy leaving.

Roy then sees the big bag of candy his mother bought him at the candy store and gives it to Ross and Robert by excusing himself to "say bye". He then actually says bye and his dad drives him and his mother away. Robert waves him goodbye and Ross gives him a thumbs up.

After their encounter with Bob, Roy's parents pick up Roy. Ross and Robert get annoyed towards Roy when it is revealed that he lied to them about not being allowed a costume, and when Roy's mother calls them plebeians. However, Ross and Robert seem to settle terms with Roy after he gives them all the candy his mother bought at the candy store for him.

## Trivia

* Roy is possibly 13
* Roy's voice actor Kellen Goff also voices Funtime and Glamrock Freddy from the popular *Five Nights at Freddy's* game series.
* While not confirmed, it is possible that his design was based on Too-Tall Grizzly.
* Roy's uncle is implied to have sexually abused him. This can be seen in *Spooky Month - The Stars*, with his comment of "That's where my uncle takes me." and "What do you mean it's wrong?!" However, in *Spooky Month 3 - Unwanted Guest*, it's implied he *does* know it's wrong, and in addition being exposed to the eldritch horror of The Eyes of the Universe, lashes out in rage at Skid and Pump over the fact he got in trouble following that night. Given that his voice was cracking, it seems he's aware of both his uncle's abuse and the sheer mind-eating terror Eyes emanates and is not-so-secretly terrified of both.
* Despite Roy being the leader and spokesman of the Hatzgang, the other two—Ross and Robert—seem a bit reluctant to his methods at times, as well as more emotionally sincere. However, it's shown despite this, Roy does in fact value them as friends due to his overbearing wealthy parents, Carmen and Richard, coddling and being rather controlling of him. It's possible he hangs out with them and dresses "cool" both out of genuine friendship and out of a desire to rebel against his parents, seeing as he much rather prefers Ross and Robert's company. It's also likely his bullying of Skid and Pump is either bad influence from his parents (who dismiss lower classes as "plebeians") or his method of feeling better due to the unsavory aspects of his family (namely his uncle).
* Roy dressed up as a vampire in Halloween art drawn by Sr. Pelo.
	+ He looks annoyed in the art, and in Spooky Month - Tender Treats, he didn't want to dress-up at all for Halloween, and it was actually his mother who wanted to dress him up as a vampire.
* Due to also staring at The Eyes, it is very likely that his eyes glow while in the presence of something paranormal.
