Boo

Boo (voiced by Mary Gibbs) is a 2-year-old human girl who becomes Sulley and Mike's friend. During Randall's secret late-night work on the Scare Floor, Boo gets into the factory and Sulley tries various attempts to put her back, none of which worked, so he eventually puts her inside a duffle bag. When Sulley brings this up with Mike at Harryhausen's, Boo gets out and scares the patrons; the CDA Agents have to "decontaminate" the restaurant. While Mike and Sulley are at home, they discover that the girl is not toxic after all. Sulley quickly grows attached to the girl and names her "Boo" while Mike desires to be rid of her. The next day, they smuggle her into the factory disguised as a child of one of Sulley's relatives, and Mike attempts to return her through her door. After learning of Boo's presence, Randall tries to kidnap Boo by making a deal with Mike, but due to Sulley and Boo not trusting Randall's motive, he kidnaps Mike by mistake; Sulley later rescues him. Boo may not be afraid of Sulley, but when she was brought into the training room (which is a simulator where scare recruits do their training) after Mike and Sulley escaped from Randall, she ended up frightened by Sulley's roar. When Mike and Sulley tried to return Boo to her home, Waternoose had Mike and Sulley exiled to the Himalayas to keep them from causing further interference with his malevolent plan. Sulley returns to the factory and rescues Boo from Randall's Scream Extractor (a large machine that is capable of extracting and collecting a child's scream), destroying the machine in the process. During the chase through the large storage vault, Boo's laughter ends up causing all the doors to operate. Eventually, Boo gets over being afraid of Randall and helps to defeat him. Sulley and Mike are able to access Boo's door, but Waternoose and the CDA Agents send it back to the Scare Floor. Mike distracts the CDA Agents carrying what they think is Boo, while Sulley escapes with Boo and her door, although Mr. Waternoose follows after they accidentally get his attention. Waternoose is arrested after his plot is exposed; the CDA Agents's undercover leader is revealed to be Roz, and she allows Sulley and Mike five minutes to return Boo to her world. Once Sulley and Mike have returned Boo to her room, her door is put through the shredder to ensure her safety. Boo tries to see Sulley again, but only finds her ordinary closet behind her door. Sometime later, Mike takes Sulley to one side and reveals he has rebuilt Boo's door and it required only one more piece, which Sulley had taken as a memento (the one taped to his clipboard). Sulley inserts the last piece, reactivates the door and enters to find Boo there.

Don Carlton (voiced by [8]) is a red-skinned mature monster with a bat-like mustache and octopus-like tentacles for arms who returned to Monsters University to learn how to use computers and maybe consider trying for scaring. He is the President of Oozma Kappa. Don later got engaged to Scott "Squishy" Squibbles' mother Sherri. During the credits, it is shown that Don had gotten a job as a scarer at Monsters, Inc. under the moniker "Dangerous Don Carlton".

Joel Murray

Art (voiced by [8]) is a purple furry monster with an arch shape and a questionable background (in a scene he revealed that he was in jail before). It is shown during the credits that he got a job as a scarer at Monsters, Inc.

Charlie Day

Scott "Squishy" Squibbles (voiced by [8][9]) is a five-eyed jelly monster whose mother owns the fraternity house. It is shown during the credits that he got a job as a scarer at Monsters, Inc., under the moniker 'Scott "Scary" Squibbles'.

Peter Sohn

Terri and Terry Perry (voiced by [9] and Dave Foley[8]) are a two-headed monster with one eye on each head, four arms, and tentacles for legs. Terri's head has one horn while Terry's head has two horns. Terri, a dance major, is the naively optimistic one of the two while Terry, an English major, is more morose but has a fondness for close-up magic. They are very different personality wise but they work well together as shown in the Scare Games. It is shown during the credits that they got a job as a scarer at Monsters, Inc., under the moniker "Terrifying Terry and Terri Perry".

Sean Hayes

Appearing in Monsters at Work

Tylor Tuskmon

Tylor Tuskmon (voiced by Ben Feldman) is a recent graduate of Monsters University. He was accepted into Monsters, Inc. the same day Waternoose was outed as CEO and the company switched energy sources from screaming to laughter. He transferred to the maintenance team, Monsters, Inc. Facilities Team (MIFT), while training as a comedy student. When Monsters, Inc. changed its policy from scaring to joking following Waternoose's arrest, Tylor was uncomfortable with the transition. He is promoted to a full-time Jokester in the season 1 finale. In season 2, he enters a crossroads when Johnny Worthington offers him a job at Fear Co. In the end, he remains a Jokester and is now part of a comedy duo with his best friend Val Little.

Val Little

Val Little (voiced by Mindy Kaling) is a mechanic at MIFT, and Tylor's best friend. Val was briefly in the same class as Tylor at Monsters University before she dropped out. After college, she spent a year on an island, then enlisted at MIFT as a mechanic. She becomes Tylor's Jokester assistant. In Season 2, she discovers and follows a talent at being a Jokester and eventually becomes one and shortly later as Monsters, Inc. first comedy duo with Tylor.

Mr. Crummyham

Mr. Crummyham (voiced by Curtis Armstrong) is a Monsters, Inc. supervisor. He transfers Tylor to MIFT when he learns that Tylor's parents work at a hardware store.

Monsters, Inc. Facilities Team

The Monsters, Inc. Facilities Team (or MIFT for short) is a department in Monsters, Inc. that are called in to deal with the technical problems in the company. Besides Tylor and Val, MIFT consists of:
