Voiced by John Goodman

Berserk Button: Don't threaten Boo.
Beware the Nice Ones
Big Damn Hero
Bruiser with a Soft Center: Sulley has super strength and a mighty roar, but is really a sweet guy under it all.
Expy: He looks a lot like Beast.
- And with more than a passing resemblance to that OTHER Beast.
Gentle Giant
Heel Realization: One of the most powerful scenes in the movie is Sulley, when inadvertedly scaring Boo, realizing just what he's been doing to children all this time.
The Hero
Heterosexual Life Partners/The Odd Couple/Vitriolic Best Buds: With Mike.
Mistaken for Gay
My God, What Have I Done?: One of these prompts his Heel Realization (see above).
Nice Guy
Papa Wolf: Steadily becomes this to Boo, big time.
Punch Clock Villain
Super Strength

Voiced by Billy Crystal

Beaten By a Girl: Guess who!
Creepy Centipede: Looks part centipede, part chameleon.
The Dragon
Hollywood Chameleon
Invisibility
Master of Illusion
Mean Character, Nice Actor: Implied by the Hilarious Outtakes, where he comments that he looks good in a suit after a coworker pulls a prank on him during filming.
Psycho for Hire
The Rival
- Unknown Rival: Mike thinks of him as a competitor, while Sully just thinks of him as a colleague.
Smug Snake

Voiced by James Coburn

Affably Evil
Big Bad
Broken Pedestal
Corrupt Corporate Executive
Intergenerational Friendship: Between him and Sulley.
Knight Templar
The Man Behind the Man
The Mentor: Implied to be such for Sulley. Waternoose is sincerely despondent when he has to get rid of him, and in the climax Sulley quite truly hopes he can convince him not to go through with the plan.
The Mole
Reasonable Authority Figure or so it originally seems
Treacherous Advisor
Well-Intentioned Extremist

Voiced by Mary Gibbs

Berserker Tears: She actually cries just as much a kid her age would, but in the monster world, any loud noise from her can cause a blackout.
Cheerful Child
Cute Monster Girl: From Sulley's perspective.
The Danza: Boo's real name is Mary Gibbs, after her voice actor.
Genki Girl: Then again, she is only about three years old.
Girlish Pigtails
Killer Rabbit: How the monsters see her.
Little Miss Badass
Not Afraid of You Anymore: To Randall.
Plucky Comic Relief: To a lesser extent than Mike.
The Unintelligible: Speaks mostly in childish gibberish, save for words like "Kitty".

Butt Monkey: From Randall - every appearance of his involves him getting threatened, beat on, or otherwise dumped upon by Randall in some way.
The Igor
