—Randall

Randall Boggs is a disgraced ex-employee introduced in Kingdom Hearts III, and originally taken from the Disney/Pixar film, Monsters, Inc. He was formally a top scarer at Monsters, Incorporated, but was exiled by Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan for being involved in a conspiracy to collect screams by force. He has returned to Monstropolis with Vanitas's help, and is now seeking revenge.

Story

Kingdom Hearts III

Randall was previously one of the top scarers from Monsters, Inc., with Boo as one of his targets, who tried to collect screams by force. He was punished by being banished through a door to a human trailer home that was immediately destroyed, and barely escaped being killed by its inhabitants, who mistake him for an alligator.

Fortunately for him, Vanitas found him and decided to exploit his ambition and desire for revenge. Vanitas fixed Randall's door, allowing him to return to Monsters, Inc. and attempt to reclaim his prior prestige. However, believing that laugh power is unsustainable, he still insisted on exploiting negative emotional energy and allied with Vanitas's Unversed to acquire it. With their help, he infiltrated the factory and weaponized its machinery.

Randall invisibly observes Sora and his friends as they discover the Unversed infestation and head to the Door Vault, and decides to follow them. He uses his camouflage ability to disguise a door to the Basement as Boo's door, diverting the heroes into the booby-trapped portion of the factory. He gloats to them about his return and impending success, then vanishes as he waves away Sora's defiance.

Randall accosts the group as they are leaving the factory floor and attempts to sic one of his machines on them. However, he storms off when it is unresponsive to his commands, only to spot Vanitas animating it as the Lump of Horror just after the heroes leave.

Pleased, he takes the Unversed with him to confront the heroes just as they reach the Door Vault. Delighted by Mike's ignorant dismissal of the threat, Randall gloats as the group is attacked by the massive Unversed. However, his happiness is short-lived and he is infuriated when the Unversed is destroyed. As he angrily kicks the destroyed machine, Sulley roars at him. Defeated, he barely protests as Mike and Sulley force him to go back through his repaired door and is clubbed once again by the humans on the other side. Before Sulley can destroy the door, Sora uses his Keyblade to lock the door, preventing Randall from returning.

Appearance

Randall is a purple lizard-like monster with green eyes. He has two pairs of arms and two pairs of legs along with having three fronds with pink tips on top of his head, and a blue tail.

He also is an expert at camouflage and uses it to his advantage.

Personality

Randall is an irritable, deceptive, and competitive monster in nature. In addition, he dismisses the feasibility of positive emotional energy, deciding to believe instead that negative emotional energy, which he is more skilled at acquiring, is the best source of power.

Origin

Randall Boggs originated as one of the antagonists of the 2001 Disney/Pixar film, Monsters, Inc., in which he is voiced by Steve Buscemi. He is one of the top scarers at Monsters, Inc. and vies with Sulley for first place. As part of a conspiracy with the company's CEO Mr. Waternoose, Randall constructs a mechanized "Scream Extractor" to use on one of his targets, Boo, attempting to solve Monstropolis's energy crisis in exchange for prestige.
