'''James P. Sullivan''', also known as '''Sulley''', is a CEO and former top-scarer introduced in ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', and originally taken from the Disney/Pixar film ''{{w|Monsters, Inc.}}'' He is in charge of the Monsters, Inc. energy corporation that supplies power to [[Monstropolis]], assisted by his old friend [[Mike Wazowski]], but comes into conflict with his former coworker, [[Randall Boggs]].

==Story==
===Before ''Kingdom Hearts III''===
Sulley was initially the top scarer of Monsters, Inc., where he worked alongside his partner and best friend Mike Wazowski. One evening, he discovered Boo's door and accidentally let her loose throughout Monstropolis. While trying to send her home, Sulley grows to care for [[Boo]]. It was during this time that he discovered a conspiracy with Randall attempting to forcefully extract screams from children, starting with Boo. With her help, Sulley and Mike banished Randall to the Human World and discovered laughter was ten times more powerful than screams. Sulley would later become CEO of Monster's Inc.<ref>'''''Kingdom Hearts III'', Sulley:''' "So, Monsters, Incorporated used to rely on scream power from human kids for energy, but now we collect their laughter instead. It turns out laugher's ten times more powerful. And we'd never have figured it out without Boo."</ref>

===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
During one of their play dates with Boo, Sulley and Mike discover [[Sora]], [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]] entering the factory. They introduce themselves to the group just as the [[Unversed]] appear, frightening Boo. Taking Boo to safety, Sulley and Mike help the others fend off the Unversed. After deliberating on the situation, Sulley is convinced to return Boo home to keep her safe. As he explains to Sora of the origins of Monster's Inc., they find the Unversed loose in the Laugh Floor, entering children's doors, collecting their scream energy.

After defeating the Unversed, Sulley leads the other through the [[Door Vault]] to chase after Boo's doors. However, the group ends up getting lost through the Factory due to Randall's manipulation. When Randall takes control of the factory control system, Sulley and the others evade Randall's traps while protecting Boo from harm. The team arrives at the central control unit, where Sulley suggest making Boo laugh to short circuit the device. When it works, Sulley leads the group through the power plant to reach the door vault.

However, they discover the [[Heartless]] and Unversed have started a fire throughout the station. With help from the [[CDA Agent|CDA]], the fire is put out while Sulley leads them back to the Door Vault. The team is intercepted by Randall, who unleashes the [[Lump of Horror]] to battle them. The team manages to defeat the Unversed while Sulley subdues Randall, forcing him back to the Human World. After Sora seals Randall's door, Sulley and the others prepare to send Boo home. To their surprise, they, along with the door, are returned to the [[Laugh Floor]] by [[Vanitas]], who Sulley and Mike realize was the one who brought Randall back. Before Vanitas can extract [[Ventus]] from Sora's [[heart]], Sulley grabs Vanitas and throws him through several doors before shredding the last one. Afterwards, Sulley returns Boo home. Returning to the Lobby, Sulley and Mike bid farewell to Sora, Donald, and Goofy, wishing them well.

Sometimes after [[Xehanort]]'s defeat, Sulley cradles Boo, who is sleeping in his arms. When Mike is about to scare Sulley from behind, Sulley signals Mike not to wake Boo up. They both take Boo back to her door to her bedroom and watch her asleep before closing the door quietly.

==Design==
Sulley is a large furry cyan blue monster with lilac spots. He has blue eyes, a small tail, and horns.

==Personality==
Befitting the "gentle giant" type, Sulley is known for being polite and kind to his coworkers and everyone he meets. Despite his intimidating size, Sulley is not a violent man, preferring to use his words first. He has a big heart, caring for [[Boo]] and protecting her from the [[Unversed]]. Unlike Mike, Sulley has a more typical sense of humor, as he has made Boo laugh the most.

==Abilities==
===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
Sulley is a heavily offensive party member. He uses his {{c|claws|kh3}} to strike at enemies, which deal a good amount of damage. His [[Takedown]] ability allows him to shoulder-check enemies, while his [[Monster Roar]] ability has him unleash a mighty roar that sends shockwaves across the area and stuns enemies. He also has a [[Team Attack]] with Mike and Sora called [[Scream Strike]], where Sora, Donald, Goofy, Sulley, and Mike all roar together, damaging enemies, and then Sora uses Mike as a bowling ball to deal damage to enemies.

Sulley's base stats are 30 {{AP}}, 210 [[HP]], and 100 [[MP]]. He has 2 armor slots, 3 accessory slots, and 3 item slots, two of which start equipped with [[Potion]]s.
