List of Hotel Transylvania characters
This is a list of characters that appear in the "Hotel Transylvania" franchise from Sony Pictures Animation. Almost all the characters are based on traditional monsters (werewolves, vampires, a dhampir, mummies, and Frankenstein, among others). Introduced in "Movies". Count Dracula. Count "Drac" Dracula (voiced by Adam Sandler in the first three films, Brian Hull in "Hotel Transylvania: Transformania", Brock Powell in "Hotel Transylvania 3: Monsters Overboard", David Berni in the TV series' first season, Ivan Sherry in the TV series' second season) is based on the Count Dracula of lore. Although he is a Romanian -accented misanthropic vampire, he has no cravings for human blood, saying that he drinks a blood substitute and "you can't tell the difference". He also dislikes people implying he says "Bleh bleh bleh" all the time, as he only ever says it to state that he does not say it. In the third movie, Drac is ranting and says "blah, blah, blah..." much to the astonishment of the guests who believe he has finally intentionally said, "Bleh bleh bleh". Dracula is shown at the beginning of the first film, caring for his baby daughter Mavis. He teaches her how  to morph into a bat, plays with her and teaches her the things she needs to know, but is also overprotective of her, being reluctant to allow her to explore the outside world, by fear that humans will hurt her, as they did with his late wife Martha. When Johnny and Mavis meet, Drac refuses to kill him believing "it would set vampire/human relations back centuries" and ultimately convinces Johnny to return after flying in direct sunlight to head off the plane Johnny is aboard. At the beginning of the second movie, he tries to teach his grandson Dennis  his vampire abilities, without success, despite taking increasingly drastic measures. At Dennis' fifth birthday party he realizes he loves Dennis regardless of his half-blood heritage and defends the hotel against Bela's rampaging pack. In the third movie, he is lonely, and Mavis – mistaking it for stress – arranges for the entire hotel to take a vacation on a monster cruise. Despite the cruise being an elaborate trap set by Abraham Van Helsing, Drac meets and zings with Van Helsing's great-granddaughter Ericka and the two eventually marry. In the fourth movie, Dracula is now married to Ericka and  wishes to give the hotel to Mavis and Johnny but is fearful that Johnny will ruin everything and so lies to him about a 'monster real-estate law'. He accidentally turns himself into a human and he and Johnny, who is now a dragon-like monster, go to the Amazon Rainforest to find a cure for this mess on the orders of Abraham Van Helsing, Drac's great-grandfather-in-law. When Mavis and Ericka find them via Ericka's airship and jeep (which were actually meant for monster-hunting), Drac admits that there was nothing like a 'monster real -estate law' which upsets Johnny and this triggers Johnny's mutation. When all hopes are lost, Drac begs to Johnny to forgive him by telling him that the Dracula family would be incomplete without Johnny, and this makes him happy, allowing Mavis to turn them back to their normal forms. When they all are returning to the hotel in Ericka's airship, they find the hotel completely destroyed by Gigi, Abraham, and Ericka's pet guinea pig who turned into a ravenous, mindless beast. Drac is devastated and angrily turns Gigi back to normal. When Johnny and Mavis see a  heartbroken Drac, they feel bad for him and tell him that they will rebuild the hotel to which he replied with a no and says that they should build it as THEY like since it is now THEIR hotel. A year later, Mavis and Johnny surprise Drac by building the hotel just as it was earlier, making Drac very happy. But Mavis and Johnny had made the hotel more modern, and Drac finally accepts the modern technology. In the four-year , Drac is away on "official vampire business" at the Vampire Council, but appears from time to time as a  supporting character, in the final episode become a main role to battle a Evil Mavis. Johnny. Jonathan "Johnny" Loughran (voiced by Andy Samberg in the films, Brian T. Stevenson in "Hotel Transylvania 3: Monsters Overboard") is the first human inside Hotel Transylvania and falls in love with Count Dracula's daughter, Mavis. He always carries his backpack and shows a strong connection with it. By the end of the first movie he has already integrated into the hotel and is accepted by the clientele. He is portrayed as a good-natured and easy-going slacker. In the first movie, Johnny  is lost while traveling in an area close to the hotel and follows a group of zombies to Hotel Transylvania. At first, he thinks he is in a hostel and that everyone is wearing costumes, but he soon realizes that the monsters are real. Drac disguises him as "Johnnystein" and he begins to integrate, meeting and "zinging" with Mavis. After thinking that she would be better off without a human partner he leaves the hotel, but Drac reconsiders and chases the plane Johnny has boarded, bringing him back. In the second movie, Johnny and Mavis get married and have a  son, Dennis. Johnny agrees to take Mavis to California ostensibly to consider moving back home to be near his parents, while Drac tries to prompt Dennis' vampire abilities. Due to his human limitations, Johnny is a background character in the final encounter, but the threat to his life helps Dennis manifest his vampire traits. In the third movie, while he becomes the hotel's event DJ, Johnny also reverts to his slacker lifestyle, embracing the vacation fully. Despite this, he is instrumental in defeating the Kraken, using his portable DJ booth to play up-beat music to calm the monster  down, ultimately succeeding with the macarena. In the fourth movie, Johnny turns into a dragon-like monster to try and impress Dracula so that he gives his hotel to Mavis and Johnny, but when Johnny realized that Dracula lied about a 'monster real-estate law', he turns upset which progresses his mutation. Finally, Dracula's motivational and apology speech calms and makes him happy so that Mavis can turn him back into a human. After they return to the hotel and find it completely destroyed, Johnny feels bad for Dracula who is heartbroken and says that they can rebuild the  hotel just as it was. But Dracula replies that he and Mavis should rebuild it the way THEY want to since it is now THEIR hotel. A year later, Mavis and Johnny build the exterior and interior of the hotel just like it was before to make Drac happy and honor the previous hotel. But due to Drac's permission of recreating the hotel of their wish, it is much more modern than before. Mavis.

She is the wife of Johnny and the mother of Dennis. She is shown to be more open to the human world than her father, as she knows how to use technology (cellphone, video chat, email) and is excited to see the world outside Hotel Transylvania. In "Hotel Transylvania", Mavis wants to see the outside world, but Drac has misled her into believing that all humans intend to kill her thus keeping her at the hotel. When  she meets Johnny, they zing, becoming a couple. In the second movie, Johnny and Mavis get married, a year later become pregnant with Dennis and on Friday the 13th 2014, given birth and have a son Dennis. Mavis becomes overprotective of Dennis, going so far as to consider moving to California, Johnny's birthplace, to raise him in a safer environment. In the end, Dennis finally develops his inherent vampire powers and they stay in the hotel. In the , Mavis thinks that Drac is stressed with running the hotel and arranges a monster cruise for the hotel guests to give  him a vacation for a change. But she later figures that Drac has a crush on the captain, Ericka Van Helsing, and this is confirmed when Drac admits he "zinged" with Ericka. In , Mavis figures out Dracula's plan of giving the hotel to her and Johnny. Later, when Drac and Johnny turn into a human and a dragon-like monster respectively, she and her stepmother Ericka confront Ericka's great-grandfather, Abraham Van Helsing who reveals that his Monsterification Ray caused Drac and Johnny to turn into a human and a monster. So, Mavis and Ericka hop in Ericka 's old monster-hunting blimp and drag all the other monsters who have turned into humans and they all go to find Johnny and Drac and reverse the transformation.

Though friendly and caring, Frank is deathly afraid of fire and in the first movie has a habit of mailing himself and his wife everywhere. Since both he and his wife can be disassembled and reassembled at will with no harm to either of them, this is not a problem. In the second movie, he aids Dracula in his quest to turn Dennis to awaken his vampire lineage and joins the rest of the  gang in repelling the attack by Bela and his minions. In the third movie, when he finds that Drac zinged with Ericka, he - along with Murray the Mummy and Griffin the Invisible Man - fully support Drac in asking Ericka out. In the fourth movie, Frank turn turns into a human and he is the only one amongst all who loves his human appearance, or rather his hairstyle. Although Frank regains his human form's hairstyle after returning into his monster form, the said hairstyle is only temporary when his wife, Eunice cuts his hair back to his original hairstyle, much  to Frank's dismay. In the prequel TV series, it is revealed that he is the father of Hank N Stein. He has all completely different jobs including teacher, farmer, casino manager, Noah, pet shop salesman, and varies. Eunice. Eunice (voiced by Joanna Lumley in the films, Katie Griffin in the TV series) is Frankenstein's wife. Like Frank, she is deathly afraid of fire and mails herself everywhere. Since both she and her husband can be disassembled and reassembled at will with no harm to either of them, this is not a problem. She speaks with a New York  accent. In the third movie, it is revealed that Eunice disapproves of Frank gambling as he would lose his parts. She found out he did it behind her back when she saw that he has crab claws instead of his original hands. In the fourth movie, she hates Frank's new hairstyle when he was transformed into a human. In the prequel TV series, it is revealed that she is the mother of Hank N Stein. Wayne. Wayne (voiced by Steve Buscemi in the films, Michael Buscemi in "Hotel Transylvania 3: Monsters Overboard") is a werewolf, the husband of Wanda , and the father of Winnie and over 301 wild and undisciplined wolf pups. He shows dog-like behavior in the second film, and is stressed due to his children causing chaos all the time, but he has little control over them. He tries to keep order, only to be completely ignored by everyone except Winnie. Despite his appearance, his behavior is mostly that of a civilized family man, but he does quickly eat an entire flock of sheep, rationalizing it with "What? You eat lamb chops. It's the same thing." In the second movie, he joins Drac in his  efforts to turn Dennis into a vampire. In the final fight against Bela's goons, he is quickly overrun, but summons his enormous pack of children, who make short work of several of the attackers. In the third movie he and Wanda enjoy a brief moment of independence after leaving their pups in the Legacy's creche. They are subsequently tranquilized by Ericka and spend the rest of the vacation unconscious in a cleaning cupboard. They then say they enjoyed it so much they've re-booked for the next year as well. In the fourth movie, Wayne renames himself  as Walter, after unknowingly drinking water from a fountain that was accidentally contaminated by Van Helsing's Monsterfication Ray, allowing himself to escape the stress from unable to control his chaotic children and leaves Wanda on her own.

She is seen in all four movies, and is always shown to be heavily pregnant.

In the fourth movie, around the end of the film, Wanda appears to have ended her pregnancy with newborn wolf pups delivered. Griffin the Invisible Man. Griffin (voiced by David Spade in the films) is an invisible man and the only thing that can be seen is his brown glasses. He tends to forget his own invisibility, as seen when he is insulted when Dracula says he hates red curly hair (which he had before he became bald, yet is unaware of his hair loss). He  also seems concerned with his appearance (later revealed to have middle-aged and pot-bellied), as he becomes embarrassed when Wayne pulls his pants down. Being an invisible mutate himself, he never wears clothes and has been naked all the time. He is also seen preparing for Mavis' party in the first film. At the end of the second film, he bumps into a set of floating pink glasses, showing that he has found an "invisible woman". Griffin is seen driving the hotel's car when necessary. When unknowingly drinks water from a fountain that was accidentally contaminated by Van  Helsing's Monsterfication Ray in the fourth movie, Griffin becomes displeased when finding out the actual current condition of his original human appearance after returning into a human and begin to wear clothes to cover his nudity. Murray. Murray (voiced by Ceelo Green in the first film, Keegan-Michael Key in the second, third, fourth film, and "Hotel Transylvania 3: Monsters Overboard") is a fat mummy from Egypt who has the power to summon sandstorms or just sand to cast ancient Egyptian curses. Blobby. Blobby (voiced by Jonny Solomon in the second movie, Genndy Tartakovsky in the third and fourth  film, and as Mr. Blob voiced by Adrian Truss in the TV series) is a green blob monster who speaks blob language and has not seen the outside world until the sequel. He was used to break Johnny's fall in the original movie and was seen in the sauna. In the sequel, he "hugged" Johnny's mom and was seen on the side of the car, listening to a popular song while Dracula forced everyone else to listen to Bigfoot's life story, which he reads himself on an audiobook, which no one really liked, except for Drac, who  was smiling. In "Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation", Blobby accompanies Drac on a cruise. During the cruise, Blobby gets seasick and spews out a slime that forms into a child. In addition, he also creates a blob version of Tinkles. In "Hotel Transylvania: Transformania", Blobby transforms into a plate of gelatin after he and Drac's friends drink from a fountain that was accidentally contaminated by Van Helsing's Monsterfication Ray, and cause Griffin to carry him during an adventure to fix Monsterfication Ray. Humanized Drac and Dragon-like Monster Johnny search for the ray before Johnny mutates into a  mindless ravenous beast. They return with a new crystal for the Monsterfication Ray, and in the blimp, blobby is turned back into a monster. Werewolf pups. The werewolf pups are Wayne and Wanda's pack of at least 324 werewolf pups. Winnie is the only pup identified as a girl amongst them, though she might simply be the only one who wears girl-appropriate clothing. They are always shown causing chaos and destruction while Winnie looks on. Their exact number is unknown; once Winnie said that she has 300 brothers, but there is no way of knowing if that was  all of them or just the males. But they are shown to not be completely uncontrollable: while they do not listen to their father at all (except Winnie), they generally do listen to Drac. When he reminds one of the pups to not chew on his cape, the pup even says: "Sorry, Uncle Drac." The werewolf pups make cameo appearances in the TV series. Winnie. Winnie (voiced by Sadie Sandler in the first three films, Zoe Berri in "Transformania", vocal effects provided by Evany Rosen in the TV series) is a werewolf pup. She is seen with a pink pacifier  in the first film, but she does not have it in the second film. She has a very sensitive sense of smell. Winnie is part of a large family of werewolves. She is suspected to be the only daughter of Wayne and Wanda; she is the only one who wears clothes or colors that suggest such. Once she said she has 300 brothers. Her brothers are always seen causing chaos and destruction. Winnie is less prone to that, but it is observed that she can handle herself against them. Winnie is instrumental in the first film by being able to  track Johnny to the airport when he leaves the hotel. Winnie plays a bigger role in the sequel. She has grown up, as she no longer has the pacifier and is more talkative. She and Dennis are best friends. At the end of the film, she is threatened by Bela and his pack, becoming one of the reasons Dennis' vampire traits manifest. In "Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation", Winnie helps Dennis sneak Tinkles onto "The Legacy", but otherwise has no prominent role. She also has many new brothers and a new sister named Sunny, who is similar to her in  many ways. She is shown to have a crush on Dennis and is not coy about it, unlike Dennis himself. Towards the end of the film, she pestered Dennis to "zing" with her. In "Hotel Transylvania: Transformania", Winnie is a minor character, and largely hangs out with Dennis throughout the film, playing with Tinkles and the other pets at the hotel. At one point, she and Dennis were hypnotized by Dracula as to not reveal Johnny's monster transformation to Mavis, which was not entirely successful. Sunny. Sunny (voiced by Sunny Sandler in the third film and Jennifer Kluska in  the fourth film) is one of the youngest werewolf pups, Winnie's little sister, and Wayne and Wanda's second daughter that first appears in "Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation". Like her big sister, she is much calmer and more mature than her brothers. Sunny's only word in the film is "fish". In "Hotel Transylvania: Transformania", her name change to Wendy. Wesley. Wesley (voiced by Asher Bishop) is a werewolf pup who is named in "Hotel Transylvania: Transformania". Quasimodo Wilson. Quasimodo "Quasi" Wilson (voiced by Jon Lovitz in the first film, Scott McCord in the TV series) is the  chef of the hotel. He would have to put up with Dracula's menu suggestions. Quasimodo despises humans where he even wants to make a dish out of them as well being abusive to a gargoyle waiter. He was the first person besides Dracula to know that Johnny is a human. Quasi was frozen by Drac's powers enabling the gargoyle he abused to put Quasi's finger up his nose. With Esmeralda's help, a frozen Quasi announced Johnny's true nature during Mavis' celebration where the Fly translated his frozen language. Around the end of the film, Quasi  is still magically frozen and being licked by Wayne and Wanda's pups. Although Quasi is not seen or mentioned in the second and third film, he does appear in the video game adaption of the second film where he is now reformed and no longer has issues with humans. In the prequel TV series, Quasimodo is depicted with yellow hair and puts up with the criticism of his cooking from Mavis, her friends, and Aunt Lydia. Esmeralda.

Hotel Transylvania staff. The following are staff members at Hotel Transylvania: Countess Martha Dracula. Martha (voiced by Jackie Sandler in the first three films) was Dracula's loving deceased wife, and Mavis' late mother. She had waist-length black wavy hair, pale skin, and light blue eyes as does her child. She was murdered in 1895 by  a mob of fearful humans, staked right through her heart, when Mavis was just an infant. A deleted scene "Love at First Bite" depicts how they first met and the first few times they enjoyed with their infant daughter. A painting of her next to Dracula is hidden by a black veil in the basement, which also contains Dracula's coffin where he sleeps. Johnny recognizes her in the painting and quotes a legend passed on in which she is called "Lady Lubov" by humans. The circumstances of her death have been changed to where she simply disappeared in a  mysterious fire, leaving her husband and child behind. In "Hotel Transylvania 2", a picture of her holding an infant Mavis right next to Dracula is seen in her daughter's bedroom on her bedside dresser. She was then given monster ball-soup, which was Martha's own recipe, for her cravings due to her pregnancy. Her young hybrid grandson, Dennis, had asked Dracula whether he misses "Grandma" to which he says that he does every day. In "", it was since her demise that Dracula had not left the Hotel nor dated another monster female. On his very first human date  with Capt. Erica, who is the great-granddaughter of the infamous Van Helsing, Dracula mentioned her to his new zing, explaining why he was so nervous around her. In "", which is set four years before the original film, Martha was referenced in the season finale "Fangcenera" when Dracula had presented Mavis her mother's blood-red black formal gown for her one hundred-and-fifteenth birthday. Introduced in "Hotel Transylvania 2". Dennisovitch. Dennisovitch or Dennis (voiced by Sunny Sandler as a baby, Asher Blinkoff as a child) is introduced in "Hotel Transylvania 2". He is Johnny and Mavis' human/vampire  hybrid son, born on Friday the 13th. He physically resembles Johnny, but has Mavis' blue eyes and vampire abilities which he is still developing. Dennisovitch shows no vampire traits, causing Drac considerable worry, and he attempts several times to force Dennis' vampire abilities to manifest. At Dennisovitch's fifth birthday party his maternal great-grandfather Vlad dismisses Drac's concerns as Dennisovitch being a "late fanger" – just like Drac was. At the party, Bela – Vlad's henchman – realizes there are humans present and summons his pack to attack them. The hotel guests and humans all band together to defend themselves  from the vampire pack. The threat to his family and friends is the necessary catalyst for Dennisovitch and he transforms into a vampire joining the fight, defeating Bela and the pack. During the animated short "Puppy!", Drac gets Dennisovitch a giant puppy named "Tinkles" as a present. In the third film, Dennisovitch and his best friend Winnie smuggle Tinkles aboard "The Legacy" when the hotel inhabitants all go on vacation. Dennis has only a supporting role, but Tinkles forms part of the assault on the Kraken and Van Helsing's musical DJ booth. Afterwards, Dennisovitch resists looking at Winnie as  he is too young to Zing. In the fourth film, Dennisovitch appears as a minor character. Count Vladimir "Vlad" Dracula. Vladimir "Vlad" Dracula (voiced by Mel Brooks) is Drac and Lydia's father. He appears in the second film when Mavis invites him to Dennis' 5th birthday party. Drac is worried that Vlad is a "traditional" vampire and will not accept Johnny or his involvement with Mavis and their son. Ironically, Vlad defends Dennis to Drac, supporting the theory that he is a "late fanger" and will show his vampire traits when put under stress. This makes Drac realize he  has gone to far forcing Dennis' vampire heritage, and when Vlad discovers Dennis' humanity Drac faces off to his father making Vlad accept Dennis and Johnny as part of the family. Vlad then joins in the fight against Bela and his pack when they attack the party guests at the end of the film. Vlad appears in the third film in a supporting role, enjoying the holiday on "The Legacy", flirting with a group of witches while on the deck. It is implied that he now lives at the hotel with the other guests. In the fourth film, he does  not appear or is mentioned at all throughout the duration, so it's unknown what has become of his character. Bela. Bela (voiced by Rob Riggle) is a vampire bat monster and Vlad's companion. He attacked Winnie and Dennis and threatened to destroy the Hotel Transylvania, enraging Dennis to the point that his vampire abilities manifested. Bela was then severely beaten by the boy. He summoned his fellow vampire bat monsters, but they were driven off by Dracula and his family and friends. Unwilling to give up, he attacked Johnny with a spike only to be stopped by Vlad  and shrunk to a harmless size as Vlad tells him never to bother him or his family again. He then became a play-thing for the werewolf pups. Bela was named after the actor Bela Lugosi who portrayed Dracula in the original 1931 Dracula film. Crystal the Invisible Woman. Crystal (voiced by Chrissy Teigen) is an invisible woman. She made a cameo appearance in "Hotel Transylvania 2" where she meets Griffin and falls in love. In "Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation", she has become Griffin's girlfriend. She is also friends with Eunice, Wanda and Ericka. A running gag in  the second film is that none of the other guests believe she exists, thinking it is just Griffin pretending. Johnathan"Johnny's" family. The following are members of Johnny's human family: Harry Three-Eye. Harry Three-Eye (voiced by Robert Smigel) is a three-eyed monster magician with tentacles for a moustache. Kakie.

His main act is reminding kids to share, that too many sweets are bad, and of course eating cake. The actor portraying him  is a man named Brandon, who is shown to be indifferent about the act and show. In "Hotel Transylvania 2", Brandon appears as Kakie for Dennis' birthday party near the film's climax. While in the middle of his act, he is possessed by Vlad who hopes that possessing Dennis' favorite thing will scare his fangs out. He then grows in a giant, muscular, monstrous version of Kakie which scares Dennis. As Dracula turns Kakie back to normal, Brandon is heard inside the costume proclaiming that none of the parents better review the situation on Yelp. Kakie is a parody  of the Cookie Monster from Sesame Street. Erik the Phantom of the Opera. Erik the Phantom of the Opera (voiced by Jon Lovitz) is Hotel Transylvania's residential musician who appears in the second film.

Introduced in "Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation". Tinkles. Tinkles (voiced by Joe Whyte) is a giant puppy and Dennis' pet who first appears in the short "Puppy!". In his debut, Tinkles was obtained by Dracula when Mavis and Johnny think that Dennis having a pet is too much of a responsibility. Dennis loves Tinkles very much and he and Winnie are Tinkles' best friends. Tinkles does cause some trouble for Dracula, but as shown in the third movie, he only  obeys Drac. In "Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation", Dennis sneaks Tinkles on the vacation that Mavis plans for Drac.

When Drac first sets eyes on Ericka he "zings" with her, causing him distress as he believed a zing was a once in a lifetime occurrence. Despite Van Helsing's plan, Ericka makes several attempts to kill Drac, but starts to see him as a family man rather than a monster. During the climax of the film Ericka professes her love for Drac and  rescues him from the Kraken. Back at the hotel Drac proposes to her and she accepts. In the fourth film, Ericka is married to Dracula. She, along with Mavis and Drac's friends goes to find Johnny and Drac who are in the Amazon rain forest of South America as a monster and human respectively. Abraham Van Helsing. Professor Abraham Van Helsing (voiced by Jim Gaffigan) is a former monster hunter and arch-enemy of Count Dracula, Frankenstein, Wayne, Griffin and Murray. In 1897, Abraham Van Helsing tracked a disguised Drac, Frankenstein, Griffin, Murray and Wayne to a train, but  was unsuccessful in killing them. He subsequently tracked Drac down many times, but always failed to defeat him. Many years later, Abraham has avoided death by mechanizing his body to where only his head and hands remained. Abraham has brought his great-granddaughter Ericka into the family business. He has plans to eliminate all the monsters on the cruise upon its arrival at the lost city of Atlantis using an Instrument of Destruction that is to be found in Atlantis's ruins. When at Atlantis, Van Helsing knocks out the DJ upon being given the Instrument of Destruction in the  form of some sheet music. When he plays it, the song drives the nearby Kraken into a rage prompting it to attack the monsters. Johnny calms the Kraken using his own DJ booth and inadvertently causes Van Helsing to be knocked off the plinth. Drac rescues him, making him realize monsters are not as he previously thought, and he ceases attempting to kill them including offering refunds to the guests. In the fourth film, Van Helsing attends the Hotel Anniversary party hosted by Johnny to celebrate the hotel's 125 years. There, he hears Johnny glumly talking about how Dracula  never really thought Johnny as part of the family since he is not a monster.
