Randall Boggs

"Say hello to the Scream Extractor."

- Randall Boggs

Randall Boggs is the main antagonist of Monsters, Inc. He is a purple, lizard-like monster who worked for the company as a scarer and competed against Sulley to beat him and become Top Scarer. Randall hired Mr. Waternoose to help him and Fungus with the Scream Extractor in return for helping with the company failing.

Randall has 8 legs and has the ability to completely blend in with his surroundings, making him invisible (as well as being able to cling to walls). He can also camouflage like a chameleon.

He is voiced by Steve Buscemi. In the video games, he is voiced by Dee Bradley Baker and Tom Kenny.

In Monsters, Inc.
In Monsters, Inc., Randall works as one of the scarers and he secretly schemed with Mr. Waternoose to kidnap human children and test his invention the Scream Extractor on them so that he can become Top Scarer instead of Sulley.

After Sulley and Mike saved Boo, Randall chases them into the factory door system. Sooner or later, he's able to re-capture Boo, then he escapes into a door hundreds of feet in the air. Randall ambushes Sulley, making him dangle for dear life and he starts teasing him while he hangs on the door. As he smashes Sulley's fingers with his feet, he almost succeeds in making Sulley fall to his death, but Boo saves Sulley by pulling on Randall's antennas (making him turn different colors) and she then hits him with a nearby baseball bat. After getting back up, Sulley takes it from there and holds Randall in a snake wrestling move and Boo roars at him, showing that she's not scared of him anymore. Later, Sulley throws Randall into a door leading into the human world, sending him to a trailer home in the south, where a hillbilly mom beats him with a shovel while being cheered on by her son who warned her about the "gator" getting in. Sulley and Mike then destroy the door to make sure Randall never comes back. Before leaving, Boo (proud that she beat Randall) blows a raspberry at the door.
