List of Monsters vs. Aliens characters

This is a list of characters from the movie Monsters vs. Aliens and other spin-off related.

Monsters

Each of the main five characters are modeled after classic movie monsters.[1]

B.O.B. (Benzoate Ostylezene Bicarbonate)

B.O.B. (Benzoate Ostylezene Bicarbonate) (voiced by Seth Rogen in the film and specials, Dave B. Mitchell in Madagascar Kartz, Eric Edelstein in the TV series) is an indestructible gelatinous mass created when a genetically-altered tomato was injected with a chemically-altered ranch dessert topping, the resulting goo gaining some form of consciousness. Despite having consciousness, he literally and figuratively lacks a brain, and is thus the comic relief. 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 puree in his youth and at the end of the short was turned into a giant, zombie carrot. He is based on The Blob.

Ginormica

Ginormica, also known by her real name Susan Murphy (voiced by Reese Witherspoon in films, Riki Lindhome in the TV series) is a normal woman who is hit by a radioactive meteorite on her wedding day, causing her to mutate and grow to a height of 49 feet 11 inches (15.21 m). In addition to her size, she is amazingly strong and has a resistance to energy attacks. She serves as the film's central character. She 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 based on the protagonist from Attack of the 50 Foot Woman.

Dr. Cockroach Ph.D

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, 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, and now has a giant cockroach's 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 based on The Fly.

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, Link is not based on any classic movie monster, although he does bear a lot of resemblances to the Creature from the Black Lagoon.

She is a giant monster silkworm that 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, after the emergence from the cocoon it was discover she was actually a female.
