Randall Boggs

**Randall Boggs** is the main antagonist of *Monsters, Inc.* and a major antagonist in its prequel *Monsters University.*

Snide and vindictive, Randall is notoriously envious of James P. Sullivan, his arch-nemesis and the most beloved scarer in Monstropolis. To make his mark on the world while simultaneously stealing Sullivan's spotlight, Randall plots to "revolutionize" the scaring industry using conspiratorial means that involves kidnapping human children.

## Background

### Personality

In *Monsters University*, Randall was a kind, timid teenage monster who would hang out with Mike, as they were initially roommates. He admired Mike's confidence and was originally discouraged of his camouflage ability, thinking it would make him a joke until Mike complimented his ability, saying he had to use it. Though Mike's suggestion of not using his glasses to become completely invisible led to Randall's constant squint.

Randall expressed a desire to get in with the popular crowd and quickly turned his back on Mike when he was invited to join Roar Omega Roar, even participating in a prank on Oozma Kappa.

After his blundered performance at the end of the Scare Games (which presumably got him kicked out of the RORs), Randall gained an enmity towards Sulley, vowing it would be the last time he ever lost to him.

In *Monsters, Inc.*, Randall is greedy, ruthless, sneaky, short-tempered, competitive, and overall evil in nature. As well, Randall is something of a selfish jerk who doesn't care about a lot of people. Judging by his intentions to capture children for their screams (and possibly never return them), he is probably willing to severely harm little children (or worse). He is so sneaky that he eventually hired Mr. Waternoose as his henchman in the plot and convinced him it was to benefit the company, to which Waternoose is later exposed and arrested. Randall was also shown to be murderous to Sulley, as he once whacked him very hard with a scream canister during their fight in the secret compartment of the company while gloating that he had wanted to do that for a presumed long time beforehand, and eventually decided to strangle Sulley to death by wrapping himself around his neck, and would have succeeded had Mikey not accidentally hit Randall with his remaining snow cone.

Randall has no concept of forgiveness and compassion, as stated by Sulley in *Kingdom Hearts III* as he only cares about himself and winning and has no comprehension of friendship. He has no respect for anyone, not even Mr. Waternoose.

## Trivia

* Randall Boggs become Thomas and Twilight Sparkle's enemy in *Thomas and Twilight Sparkle's Adventures of Monsters University* and become the main villain of *Thomas and Twilight Sparkle's Adventures of Monsters Inc.*
* Randall appears in Thomas and Twilight Sparkle's Adventures Series to get revenge on Thomas, Twilight and their friends since his defeat and banishment to the human world means that he'II appear many times, regardless of his many defeats.
* Randall squints because he is not wearing his glasses. However, he usually prefers not to wear them because his stealth ability does not hide the glasses.
* In *Monsters University*, Randall appears to be wearing glasses, while in the original he doesn't. This is due to the fact that Randall learns that he cannot make clothing invisible, such as glasses, and discards them. This also explains why he is seen squinting in *Monsters, Inc.* since he cannot see well without glasses.
* In *Monsters Inc.*, Randall makes a possible reference to his defeat at the Scare Games when he attacks Sulley and says, "You don't know how long I wanted to do that, Sullivan!"
* Randall is far crueler than Mr. Waternoose. This can be seen as Randall threatens Fungus constantly, as well as trying to kill Sulley, Mike, and Boo, as opposed to Waternoose who only worked with him because it can solve the energy crisis and otherwise does not seem to have an opinion on his idea. As well, Waternoose had more firm reasons for his actions as he was trying to save his company from bankruptcy and stop the energy crisis while Randall was more dangerous as he had manipulated Mr. Wateronose and Fungus for involvement in his plot.
* Randall is also Violet Parr's personal rival since they can both turn invisible and wants to beat her at being better than her at that.
