Roz (Bob Peterson), a slug-like monster, is the administrator. The two main antagonists are Henry J Waternoose, who initially was a father figure to Sulley and Monsters Inc's notorious ex-CEO. Randall Boggs is eviler than Henry J Waternoose because he has a grudge against Mike and Sulley and wants to harm them. Boo is a little girl who finds life exciting in the monster world.
