Hornie (younger brother)

**Hornhead** is an antagonist in the Enchanted Pup series. He was the wealthy CEO of Horn Mechanics, a company where he could create powerful inventions and sell them to scientists to all over the galaxy. Unfortunately, after Hansel's return, he started to create inventions that were sold to other companies and then to the rest of the galaxy. As a result, Hornhead goes bankrupt, loses his job, his home and his reputation as the greatest inventor in EverRealm. He turns to a life of crime becoming a dangerous mad scientist and one of the Enchanted Pup's deadliest enemies.

## Background

In the times in Hansel's absence, Hornhead worked as the chief executive officer of Horn Mechanics, a multimillion company that creates inventions for monarchs, politicians, military personnel or geniuses seeking new ideas. When a new invention is built, it is tested by scientists and if it proves to be successful, it'll be mass-produced by stores all over EverRealm and finally, it'll be sold to shops all over the galaxy, making Hornhead a million dollars a day. He was well-known and well-liked by the citizens of EverRealm and an invited guest to parties and special events taking place in the Pup Palace. He worked alongside his younger brother, Hornie, who worked as the chief financial officer of Horn Mechanics.

Twenty years later, Hansel returns to EverRealm where he battles, defeats his evil uncle, Wolfgang and reclaim his place as the ruler of EverRealm. Having become a successful inventor during his years living on Snowi, Hansel creates his own inventions which he lets businesspeople from surrounding companies mass-produce and sell to companies all over the galaxy. Hansel's inventions made even money than Hornhead's inventions. As a result of this, Hornhead's company goes out of business and he goes bankrupt as he had to pay his former employees who were needing money to pay their bills. Worse of all, with Hornhead not having any more money, he loses his home, forcing him to take residence in his own laboratory. He angrily blames Hansel for his losses and orchestrates an evil scheme to get revenge on him.

### Personality

When Hornhead worked and lived as a multimillionaire, he truly enjoyed and loved the lifestyle of it. He loved it so much that he thought he was the ruler of his own kingdom, his mansion was his castle and his employees were his royal servants. He especially loved his title as the greatest inventor in EverRealm and wanted to do whatever it takes to protect it and make sure that nobody takes it away from him. As the CEO, Hornhead was a fair, reasonable and aspiring rhino who treated his employees and fans as individuals. Since Hornhead was desperate to protect his title as the greatest inventor in EverRealm, he often pushed his workers to get an invention finished and sold in a short amount of time when he learns that a rival company is about to outsell him.

Being a multimillionaire didn't just give Hornhead a castle-sized mansion, it gave him the opportunity to explore the world inside a castle and to interact with royalties and high-powered politicians. Being this closed to being accepted in the social circle of powerful people even made Hornhead more desperate and determined to protect his title from whoever wants to take it away. After losing his business and turning to a life of crime, Hornhead grew to despise royalties as they were the ones responsible for losing his title and brand. He even started to despise politicians as they not only had a role in the loss of his business but they could've prevented the bankruptcy by supplying the recently-fired Horn Mechanics employees with money. Hornhead even developed anti-government views against the Mystic Republic such as by planning ways to attack the EverRealmian government after taking over the monarchy and the military.

Hornhead is highly intelligent, organized and a master manipulator. When he put his plan to exact revenge on Hansel in motion, he inserted himself into the investigation not only to taunt his enemies on how smart he is but to convince his archenemy and his assistants that Hornhead couldn't be capable of committing acts of evil and violence. He manipulated Hansel and the Mystery Gang into a dark, spooky mansion that is located outside of the crowded New York City and is secluded, making it the perfect place for Hornhead to dress up in his rat monster costume and attack and murder the Enchanted Pup and the Mystery Gang. But in the end, Hornhead is exposed to EverRealm and Earth as a traitor, a liar and an attempted murderer incapable of redemption.

Even before his rise to evil, Hornhead was corrupt, vain and extremely narcissistic. His narcissism prevented him from showing compassion or concern for inhabitants who were in need of help. Hornhead could care less whether his inventions are helping the public or if there's a possibility that it even might severely harm a human being. The only concern that Hornhead worries about is how much money it'll make. Having no guilt, no remorse and no empathy suggests Hornhead suffers from antisocial personality disorder which soon evolved into psychopathic traits.

### Physical appearance

Hornhead is a grey rhinoceros with a bulky but muscular physique. He has shiny horns that he obsessively keeps cleaned. As the CEO of Horn Mechanics, Hornhead dressed in a grey suit with a striped blue tie, symbolizing his former civilized nature.

After descending into villainy and psychosis, Hornhead became shirtless, wore a white lab coat and black pants, symbolizing newfound nature as a ruthless and sadistic criminal.

#### Cheesy Case

After spending years in his laboratory planning his revenge plan, he finally decided to put it in action when he got word that Hansel will be traveling to New York City to present an invention to the city. He packs his rat costume, chemicals and weapons needed for his plan and coordinated attack and immediately departs from EverRealm with Hornie by his side. Upon arriving, Hornhead orders Hornie to dress in the rat costume and viciously attack the governor. The governor survives the attack but is hospitalized until her injuries fully heal. Before fleeing the scene of the crime, Hornie writes "I do this for Hansel" in corrosive acid on the wall of the governor's bedroom to implicate Hansel as well as the Pup Family in the attack and attempted murder of the New York governor. Hansel is forced to stay on Earth and await trial where he will face charges for the rat monster's crimes.

Wanting to prove Hansel's innocence and get him back home, Amber sends the famous Mystery Inc to help Hansel investigate the crime, he's being charged with. The rat monster learns about Mystery Inc's arrival on the local news and immediately gets to work with creating another invention to have them murdered so Hansel won't have any assistance in clearing his name. When Mystery Inc hits a dead end when searching for suspects, Hansel turns to Hornhead, an old friend who sends him blueprints of inventions to make for him. By using his impressive computer skills, he manages to ping the rat monster's cellphone in a mansion located outside of New York.

Mystery Inc and the Enchanted Pup head there where they find the rat monster's cellphone on the table. Curious to why the rat monster would just leave his cellphone on the table, the gang is suddenly attacked by the rat monster. The rat monster appears to have grown taller since its last encounter making it look scarier and more menacing. He traps Fred, Daphne, Velma and Shaggy in a closet while he corners Sccoby and Hansel. The rat monster grabs Hansel by his neck and attempts to slash his throat. Fortunately, Scooby manages to distract the monster by throwing eggs at him, leaving to drop Hansel and go after Scooby. Scooby's plan proves to be successful as he escapes along with Mystery Inc. Scooby manages to escape himself before the rat monster could murder him. As Hansel and Mystery Inc fled the scene of the crime, the rat monster roared in defeat and throws a violent tantrum.

Before fleeing the mansion, Fred managed to grab a pack of cigars and a polisher that belongs to the monster. They lift fingerprints off the items and see if it matches any EverRealmians in the planet's database and the gang got a match. Now having an I.D on the rat monster, Fred decides to build a trap. Once the trap was done, the gang laid in wait for the monster however he appeared out of nowhere and tried to attack the Mystery Gang for escaping his trap. Before the monster could viciously maul, Scooby accidentally pushes the monster into the trap and gets trapped along with him. The net is lowered down and opened where the monster is unmasked and revealed to Hornhead. He confesses to his crimes and explains his reasons for doing it by expressing his hatred of the Enchanted Pup and how he blames him for the destruction of his business and the loss of his money and home. Hornhead's brother, Hornie played a part in the crime as it was revealed that he was the one who dressed in the rat monster costume and attacked the governor and it was Hornhead who dressed up as the monster at the mansion to make the gang believe that the rat monster was growing. Hornhead is taken into custody by NYPD where he will face charges before being extradited to EverRealm to be imprisoned for his crimes against the Pup Family.
