Randall Boggs



Randall Boggs is one of the main antagonists in the film, Monster's, Inc., alongside Henry J. Waternoose. He is Sulley and Mike's rival and nemesis. He is also a skinny, purple monster.

His best friend and sidekick is Fungus, who usually annoys him. He usually gets into small disagreements with Mr. Waternoose.

Randall resembles an anthropomorphic lizard, with the ability to change his color from purple and blue to blend into his surroundings at will, much like a chameleon, making him invisible. He works as a Scarer for "Monsters, Inc." by entering children's rooms via a system of closet doors and scaring sleeping children. He is in competition with them for the glorious post of Top Scarer. However, Randall has also constructed a "Scream Extractor," and attempts to kidnap a human child in cooperation with the company's leader, Henry J. Waternoose, with the hopes to eventually rise to the leader of the company. He is defeated after a chase through the factory, where Boo and Randall escape into a door, and Boo begins to hit him with a baseball bat, making him turn different colors, then Sulley restrains him with a chokehold, followed by a snake wrestling maneuver, and afterwards, throws him through a door that banishes him to a trailer in the middle of a swamp in the south, where a hillbilly family beats Randall senseless with a shovel, thinking that he is an alligator. The door was then destroyed to prevent Randall from coming back.

Randall's original names were "Switt" and "Ned." He was named "Ned" in the early treatment, and "Switt" in the original opening. He is voiced Steve Buscemi.
