 **First Appearance**

**Osborne "Ozzy" Dieter**  is one of four children kidnapped by SHELL during the events of Chapter 23. He had a monster formed from his left ear, known as Drummer, until Drummer was killed when defending against Rjinder's Unnamed Skin Monster.

## Monster Connection

Like Abel and Rixis, Drummer shared his heightened sense of hearing with Ozzy. However, while the connection between Abel and Rixis was one that needed to be activated, the connection between Ozzy and Drummer seemed to be continuous. This could be an advantage in some senses, as Ozzy would not need to hesitate to be able to hear through Drummer, but it also became a hazard at times, as Ozzy would also be unable to hear when Drummer used his ability to produce electric shocks.

Ozzy had an Arma hole on the side of his head where Drummer exited. After Drummer's death, it became a bleeding wound that required medical treatment.

## History

During the events of Chapter 23, Ozzy was kidnapped by SHELL, along with Ray, Claire, and Enid. Wanda Lulenski and Michael Rjinder proceeded to introduce a ghost to the body of each child. This procedure would lead to the creation of Drummer, as well as Cav, Luna, and the head monster known as Enid.

SHELL paid for an apartment for the four children to stay in, as Lulenski had told them they couldn't let their families see them while they had their monsters. They also gave them various other supplies, such as uniforms and a baby gate.

Lulenski and Rjinder told the children that they could be recombined with their monsters if they apprehended four targets: Bina Blum and her monster Ayo, Julie Greathouse and her monster Kera, Abel Flores and his monster Rixis, and Desmond West and his monster Guuzy. Until then, they were instructed to remain in the apartment.

At some point, the new team located their targets, seemingly through the use of Drummer's heightened hearing abilities. Ozzy was sent to apprehend Abel and Rixis in the farmer's market. Using Drummer's enhanced hearing, Ozzy followed Abel through the marketplace, even hearing Abel attempt to use Nate and Lampwick to throw him off the trail. Though he threatened Abel with Drummer's electric shocks, Rixis was able to snatch Drummer while Ozzy was distracted, and Abel fled with Lampwick in tow. Ozzy attempted to retrieve an injured Rixis, but was stopped by Nate, and fell unconscious from the combination of Nate's blow and the buzzing in his head.

That evening, Ray recovered Ozzy and Drummer from the farmer's market, bring them back to the apartment.

During the SHELL infiltration, Ozzy and Drummer were confronted by West and Greenie. Greenie's voice powers made quick work of the two, knocking them unconscious by amplifying West's voice.

After Drummer was killed, Ozzy was brought to the hospital to recover from his wounds, where he was visited by his father and Sarah. He has currently not been seen in the comic since.

## Relationships

### Drummer

The relationship between Ozzy and Drummer is less distinct compared to those of his teammates. Ozzy did not seem as strongly opposed to having a monster, openly declaring he'd visit his father even with his missing ear, boasting about Drummer's hearing abilities, and commanding Drummer confidently in battle. However, he did not seem to be as attached to Drummer as other monster hosts- he showed little concern when Drummer fell unconscious, and left Drummer behind when leaving to see Sarah. Ozzy has been shown playing music with Drummer, but it is unclear whether this was to bond with Drummer or simply to make use of Drummer's abilities.

## Trivia

* Ozzy is the first character who gave a name to a deceased monster.
* When asked about Ozzy's name, Magnolia said

"*I named him Osborne because I was watching Burn After Reading around the time I made him up, and one of the character's names is Osborne Cox. The nickname Ozzy sounded "punk rock" to me, prob because of Ozzy Osborne, so kind of yes haha.*

*His last name "Dieter" comes from Susie Dieter the Simpsons director, because I was watching some of her episodes when drawing this page haha. It's not too complex but I like doing stuff like that.*"
