- Notes: With three black and orange tentacles sprouting from his head, this character sports a mouthful of jagged teeth. In the "This is Halloween" musical sequence, he is seen concealed within a trash can. Later, during the celebrations that ensue, he is spotted in the town center. In his efforts to create Christmas, he fashions hats from deceased bats and rats. Finally, he makes an appearance towards the movie's conclusion, when the unusual snowfall puzzles all the creatures.
