― Robert, The Spooky Month Series

**Robert** is a minor antagonist in the Spooky Month series and is part of the Hatzgang. He first appears in Spooky Month - The Stars, in which he, along with Roy and Ross, bully Skid and Pump.

## Physical Appearance

Rob wears a backwards facing blue baseball cap. He is the tallest of all the Hatzgang. He has curly blonde hair, and wears an oversized green jacket. He seems to have rather skinny legs, and wears light blue jeans and black shoes. Rob has the biggest smile of the Hatzgang, and has a mole just between his mouth and right eye. He has darkened circles just under his eyes.

In Spooky Month - Tender Treats, his costume is akin to a mad scientist, with goggles, black gloves, a long white lab coat and black & yellow boots.

## Personality

Rob seems to be easily excitable, as shown in Spooky Month - Unwanted Guest, when he gets excited upon hearing about Skid and Pump's Happy Fella, and in Spooky Month - The Stars, when he happily spooky dances with Ross. While not on the same level as Skid and Pump, Rob appears to also enjoy Spooky Month.

Despite being a bully, Rob has certain standards on how far he's willing to go when it comes to victimizing others. In Spooky Month - Deadly Smiles, he and Ross chastised Roy when he demanded Skid and Pump's clothes in exchanged for the Happy Fella doll.

He cares for his family, as shown in Spooky Month - Tender Treats, where he goes trick or treating for his sister, whom was sick at the time. Additionally, he politely asks Skid and Pump for some of their candy and thanks them when they agree to share it. He is also the friendliest Hatzgang member.

## Appearances

### Spooky Month - The Stars

In this episode, Rob makes his first appearance along with the rest of the Hatzgang, waiting outside of Pump's house. He joins Ross in spitting in the Spooky Kid's eyes, then stomps on Pump's foot. After Roy bonks the two on the head and questions why they're outside, Pump responds that it's Spooky Month, to with Ross and Rob share a surprised look before giddily spooky dancing behind Roy. He and Ross get uncomfortable when Roy brings up that the mansion is "where his uncle takes him", and they both step away from him.

The three are later seen in what appears to be an argument, possibly 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, Rob once again appears with the other two Hatzgang members. They seem to have been waiting outside of the hospital. Rob is seen with Ross shivering in fear behind Roy, and when questioned, asks if Roy remembers the Eyes of the Universe.

The topic changes when Roy catches glimpse of the Happy Fella, and he asks what it is. Rob gets very excited when the Happy Fella is brought up, exclaiming that his little sister owns one. As he speaks, he seems to stim physically, balling his hands up and shaking them up and down.

While not shown on screen, it is very heavily implied that 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 Robert expresses how cool he believes it is that it walks and laughs. 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. Robert joins in with Ross and the Happy Fella on ridiculing Roy for asking for Skid's and Pump's clothes, 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

Robert is seen alongside the other members of the Hatzgang trick-or-treating. Ross stops Roy from stealing Skid and Pump's candy since he didn't have a costume. After Robert politely asks for some candy, Ross also grabs a handfull from Skid's and Pump's stash. However, after Skid and Pump leave, they are approached by Bob. They save themselves by giving all their candy to him.

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

* Robert is possibly 14.
* Robert may have autism and or ADHD, as he is seen stimming in Spooky Month - Unwanted Guest, he gets excited talking about the Happy Fella and begins to shake his fists up and down. He's also easily the friendliest member of the Hatzgang, given as he hardly ever even partakes in the bullying of Skid and Pump (save once in *The Stars.*
* Robert and Ross both appear to care for Roy very much, as they approach him about wrongness in the situation with his uncle, likely concerned for Roy's safety. This goes both ways as Roy is shown to be from a wealthy family who looks down on "the lower class" (namely kids like them), but nonetheless hangs out with them and dresses like them, even preferring their company, as well as splitting the massive bag of candy his mother Carmen bought for him with them after his parents caught and forced him to come home with them.
* Unlike most other characters in the series, Robert is always drawn with fingers.
* Robert's original name was Tom, before Sr Pelo changed his name to Robert to fit in with the Hatzgang's name theme of 'R'.
* Due to also staring at The Eyes, it is very likely that his eyes glow while in the presence of something paranormal.
* Robert dressed up as a werewolf in Halloween art drawn by Sr. Pelo.
* Robert would pretend to cry so that Skid and Pump would give them candy for his sick sister but this idea was discarded.[1]
