List of Monsters vs. Aliens characters

Characters from the movie Monsters vs. Aliens and its spin-offs include:

Monsters

Each of the main five characters are modeled after classic movie monsters.

• Susan Murphy (voiced by Reese Witherspoon in the film and special, and Riki Lindhome in the TV series), also known in the movie by her monster name Ginormica was once a normal woman. She was later hit by a radioactive meteorite on her wedding day, causing her to grow to the height of 49 feet 11 inches (15.21 m) and into a Giantess. In addition to her size, she is particularly strong, physically impervious, and has a resistance to energy attacks. She serves as the film's central character and appears in the Halloween special Monsters vs. Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space. She makes a cameo in a cliffhanger at the beginning of Night of the Living Carrots. She is inspired by the protagonist of Attack of the 50-Foot Woman. In the television series, she gained the ability to switch between her giant and normal sizes by growing and shrinking similar to Ultraman in the Ultra Series.
• B.O.B. (Benzoate Ostylezene Bicarbonate) (voiced by Seth Rogen in the film, Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers and specials, Dave B. Mitchell in Madagascar Kartz and Eric Edelstein in the TV series) is an indestructible gelatinous mass. He was created when a genetically altered tomato was injected with a chemically altered ranch dessert topping, the resulting goo gained some form of consciousness. Despite being sentient, he literally and figuratively lacks a brain, and is the main comic relief character. His greatest strength lies in his ability to digest any substance. In the video game, B.O.B.'s gameplay does not require his arms, and so he lacks them altogether. It is revealed in "Night of the Living Carrots" that he had a fear of carrots due to being force-fed carrot purée in his youth, and at the end of the short was turned into a giant, zombie carrot. He is inspired by The Blob.
• Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D. (voiced by Hugh Laurie in the film, B.O.B.'s Big Break and Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space, James Horan in Night of the Living Carrots and video game and Chris O'Dowd in the TV series) is a brilliant but mad scientist who built a pod-like invention to give humans the survival abilities of a cockroach, experimenting on himself. Now he has a giant cockroach head, the ability to climb up walls, and high resistance to physical damage. He has a tendency to eat garbage and laugh maniacally. He is inspired by The Fly.
• The Missing Link (voiced by Will Arnett in the film, video game, B.O.B.'s Big Break, and Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space, David Kaye in Night of the Living Carrots and Diedrich Bader in the TV series) is a 20,000-year-old fish-ape hybrid who was found frozen and thawed out, only to escape and wreak havoc at his old lagoon habitat. He behaves as a macho jock most of the time, but is out of shape. He is an expert martial-artist and leads the team in attacks. According to director Conrad Vernon, although Link bears an obvious resemblance to Creature from the Black Lagoon, “Link really just represents anything prehistoric that comes back to life and terrorizes people".
• Insectosaurus (often referred to as "Insecto") is a 1 inch (25 mm) grub that was transformed and mutated by nuclear radiation into a 350 foot (106.7 m) tall monster with the ability to shoot silk out of her nose. She is a giant monster silkworm who cannot speak clearly, and is mesmerized by bright lights (usually used to lead her to other locations). For the longest time, Link thought Insectosaurus was a male, but after her emergence from a cocoon, it was discovered she was actually a female. Link can clearly understand what Insectosaurus is saying. As Butterflyosaurus, she has wings, can fly, and becomes the Monsters' mode of transportation. Her characteristics are similar to the giant creature in The Angry Red Planet Godzilla and Mothra.
• An adaptation of Griffin (The Invisible Man), from The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells, is mentioned and eventually appears on the apparently empty chair where he died in the film and has a brief cameo in the ending of B.O.B.'s Big Break. He is voiced by Mike Mitchell.
• The Man-Beast is a werewolf that was originally meant to join Team Monster, but was rejected.
• A horde of Zombies were captured during an outbreak, but they never became members of Team Monster.

• The Zombie Carrots are the antagonists of Night of the Living Carrots. Created when Link absentmindedly scares a surviving pumpkin that was standing over a carrot patch in the garden of Ginormica's parents' home, causing a carrot to absorb the same green goo that mutated the pumpkins and turn into a zombie carrot.
• Sqweep's Teacher is a minor character seen on a few episodes.

• Sta'abi (voiced by Gillian Jacobs) is a hotheaded female alien from a warrior/hunting culture and Link's love interest. Highly aggressive and quick to take matters into her own hands, she is offended by apologies and answers best to aggression. She also fails to understand certain Earth customs, such as emotions.
• A rambunctious semi-sentient alien, Vornicarn hatched on Earth and briefly incubated inside Link's nose before emerging, rampaging around Area Fifty-Something until Sta'abi captured and tamed him to be her loyal hunting companion.

Space Monsters and the unidentifiable

• When the monsters are watching a horror film called Attack of the Zombie Moon Ape, Sqweep watches it in secret to gain extra credit.
