These characters appear in the Hotel Transylvania franchise created by comedy writer Todd Durham.[1] Almost all the characters are based on traditional monsters (werewolves, vampires, a dhampir, mummies, and Frankenstein, among others).
Introduced in Hotel Transylvania
Count Dracula
Count "Drac" Dracula (voiced by Adam Sandler in the films, Brock Powell in Hotel Transylvania 3: Monsters Overboard, David Berni in the TV series' first season, Ivan Sherry in the TV series' second season) is based on the Count Dracula of lore. Although he is a Russian-accented misanthropic vampire, he has no cravings for human blood, saying that he drinks a blood substitute and "you can't tell the difference". He also dislikes people implying he says "Bleh bleh bleh" all the time, as he only ever says it to state that he doesn't say it. In the third movie Drac is ranting and says "blah, blah, blah..." much to the astonishment of the guests who believe he has finally intentionally said "Bleh bleh bleh".
Dracula is shown at the beginning of the first film, caring for his baby daughter Mavis. He teaches her how to morph into a bat, plays with her, and teaches her the things she needs to know, but is also overprotective of her, being reluctant to allow her to explore the outside world, by fear that humans will hurt her, as they did with his late wife Martha. When Johnny and Mavis meet, Drac refuses to kill him believing "it would set vampire/human relations back centuries" and ultimately convinces Johnny to return after flying in direct sunlight to head off the plane Johnny is aboard.
At the beginning of the second movie, he tries to teach Dennis his vampire abilities, without success, despite taking increasingly drastic measures. At Dennis' fifth birthday party he realises he loves Dennis regardless of his heritage and defends the hotel against Bela's rampaging pack.
In the third movie, he is lonely, and Mavis – mistaking it for stress – arranges for the entire hotel to take a vacation on The Legacy on a monster cruise. Despite the cruise being an elaborate trap set by Abraham Van Helsing, Drac meets and zings with Van Helsing's great-granddaughter Ericka and the two eventually marry.
In the four-year prequel TV series, Drac is away on "official vampire business" at the Vampire Council, but appears from time to time as a supporting character.
Johnny
Jonathan "Johnny" Loughran (voiced by Andy Samberg in the films, Brian T. Stevenson in Hotel Transylvania 3: Monsters Overboard) is one of the main characters in the series. He is the first human inside Hotel Transylvania and falls in love with Count Dracula's daughter, Mavis. He always carries his backpack and shows a strong connection with it. By the end of the first movie he has already integrated into the hotel and is accepted by the clientele. He is portrayed as a good-natured and easy-going slacker.
In the first movie, Johnny is lost while traveling in an area close to the hotel and follows a group of zombies to Hotel Transylvania. At first he thinks he's in a hostel and that everyone is wearing costumes, but he soon realizes that the monsters are real. Drac disguises him as "Johnnystein" and he begins to integrate, meeting and "zinging" with Mavis. After thinking that she would be better off without a human partner he leaves the hotel, but Drac reconsiders and chases the plane Johnny has boarded, bringing him back.
In the second movie, Johnny and Mavis marry and have a son, Dennis. Johnny agrees to take Mavis to California ostensibly to consider moving back home to be near his parents, while Drac tries to prompt Dennis' vampire abilities. Due to his human limitations Johnny is a background character in the final encounter, but the threat to his life helps Dennis manifest his vampire traits.
In the third movie Johnny reverts to his slacker lifestyle, embracing the vacation fully. Despite this, he is instrumental in defeating the Kraken, using his portable DJ booth to play up-beat music to calm the monster down.
Mavis
Mavis Dracula (voiced by Selena Gomez as an adult in the films, Sadie Sandler as a child in the first film, Melissa Sturm in Hotel Transylvania 3: Monsters Overboard, Bryn McAuley in the TV series) is the only daughter of Count Dracula and Martha, born in 1894. She is the wife of Johnny and the mother of young Dennis. She is shown to be more open to the human world than her father, as she knows how to use technology (cell phone, video chat, email) and is excited to see the world outside Hotel Transylvania and speaks with a New York accent.
In the first movie, Mavis wants to see the outside world, but Drac has misled her into believing that all humans intend to kill her thus keeping her at the hotel. When she meets Johnny, they zing, becoming a couple.
In the second movie, Johnny and Mavis get married and on Friday the 13th, have a son Dennis. Mavis becomes overprotective of Dennis, going so far as considering moving to California to raise him in a safer environment. In the end, Dennis finally develops his inherent vampire powers and they stay in the hotel.
In the third movie, Mavis thinks that Drac is stressed with running the hotel and arranges a monster cruise for the hotel guests to give him a vacation for a change.
In Hotel Transylvania: The Series, which takes place four years prior to the original 3D movie) Mavis is essentially in charge of the Hotel while Drac is away on business with the Vampire Council.
Frankenstein
Frankenstein's monster, also called Frankenstein or just Frank for short (voiced by Kevin James in the films, Danny Gendron in Hotel Transylvania 3: Monsters Overboard, Paul Braunstein in the TV series) is a monster who lives in an unknown location. Though friendly and caring, Frank is deathly afraid of fire and mails himself everywhere. Since both he and his wife can be disassembled and reassembled at will with no harm to either of them, this is not a problem. In the second movie, he aids Drac in his quest to turn Dennis into a vampire, and joins the rest of the gang in repelling the attack by Bela and his minions. In the prequel TV series, it is revealed that he is the father of Hank N Stein.
Eunice
Eunice (voiced by Fran Drescher) is Frankenstein's wife. Like Frank, she is deathly afraid of fire and mails herself everywhere. Since both she and her husband can be disassembled and reassembled at will with no harm to either of them, this is not a problem.
In the third movie, it is revealed that Eunice disapproves of Frank gambling as he would lose his parts. She found out he did it behind his back when she saw that he has crab claws instead of his original hands.
In the prequel TV series, it is revealed that she is the mother of Hank N Stein.
Wayne
Wayne (voiced by Steve Buscemi in the films, Michael Buscemi in Hotel Transylvania 3: Monsters Overboard) is a werewolf, the husband of Wanda, and the father of Winnie and over 301 wild and undisciplined wolf pups. He shows dog-like behavior in the second film, and is stressed due to his children causing chaos all the time, but he has little control over them. He tries to keep order, only to be completely ignored by everyone except Winnie. Despite his appearance his behavior is mostly that of a civilized family man, but he does quickly eat an entire flock of sheep, rationalizing it with "What? You eat lamb chops. It's the same thing."
In the second movie, he joins Drac in his efforts to turn Dennis into a vampire. In the final fight against Bela's goons, he is quickly overrun, but summons his enormous pack of children, who make short work of several of the attackers.
In the third movie he and Wanda enjoy a brief moment of independence after leaving their pups in the Legacy's creche. They are subsequently tranquilized by Ericka and spend the rest of the vacation unconscious in a cleaning cupboard. They then say they enjoyed it so much they've re-booked for the next year as well.
Wanda
Wanda (voiced by Molly Shannon) is a female werewolf, the wife of Wayne, and the mother of Winnie and the rest of the wolf pups. She is seen in all three movies, and is always shown to be heavily pregnant. Unlike Wayne, she makes little attempt to control her kids' behavior, aside from trying to limit their sugar intake, but is generally more successful than Wayne.
Griffin the Invisible Man
Griffin (voiced by David Spade) is an invisible man and the only thing that can be seen are his brown glasses, although it seems he forgets he's invisible, as seen when he is insulted when Dracula says he hates red curly hair (which he has).
He also seems concerned with his appearance, as he becomes embarrassed when Wayne pulls his pants down.
He is also seen preparing for Mavis' party in the first film. In the end of the second film, he bumps into a set of floating pink glasses, showing that he has found an "invisible woman". Griffin is seen driving the hotel's car when necessary.
Murray
Murray (voiced by CeeLo Green in the first film, Keegan-Michael Key in the second and third film and Hotel Transylvania 3: A Summer Vacation) is a fat mummy from Egypt who has the power to summon sandstorms or just sand and to cast ancient Egyptian curses.and he has wicked farts too like drac and mavis
Blobby
Blobby (voiced by Jonny Solomon in the second movie, Genndy Tartakovsky in the third film) is a green blob monster who speaks blob language and hasn't seen the outside world until the sequel.
He was used to break Johnny's fall in the original movie and was seen in the sauna.
In the sequel, he "hugged" Johnny's mom and was seen on the side of the car, listening to a popular song while Dracula forced everyone else to listen to Bigfoot's life story, which he reads himself on an audiobook, which no one really liked, except for Drac, who was smiling.
In Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation, Blobby accompanies Drac on a cruise. During the cruise, Blobby gets seasick and spews out slime that forms into a child. In addition, he also creates a blob version of Tinkles.
Werewolf pups
The werewolf pups are Wayne and Wanda's pack of at least 301 werewolf pups.
Winnie is the only pup identified as a girl amongst them, though she might simply be the only one who wears girl-appropriate clothing. They are always shown causing chaos and destruction while Winnie looks on. Their exact number is unknown; once Winnie said that she has 300 brothers, but there is no way of knowing if that was all of them or just the males. But they are shown to not be completely uncontrollable: while they don't listen to their father at all (except Winnie), they generally do listen to Drac. When he reminds one of the pups to not chew on his cape, the pup even says: "Sorry, Uncle Drac."
The werewolf pups make cameo appearances in the TV series.
Winnie
Winnie (voiced by Sadie Sandler) is a werewolf pup. She is seen with a pink pacifier in the first film, but she doesn't have it in the second film. She has a very sensitive sense of smell.
Winnie is part of a large family of werewolves. She is suspected to be the only daughter of Wayne and Wanda; she is the only one who wears clothes or colors that suggest such. Once she said she has 300 brothers. Her brothers are always seen causing chaos and destruction. Winnie is less prone to that, but it is observed that she can handle herself against them.
Winnie is instrumental in the first film by being able to track Johnny to the airport when he leaves the hotel.
Winnie plays a bigger role in the sequel. She has grown up, as she no longer has the pacifier and is more talkative. She and Dennis are best friends. At the end of the film she is threatened by Bela and his pack, becoming one of the reasons Dennis' vampire traits manifest.
In Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation, Winnie helps Dennis sneak Tinkles onto The Legacy, but otherwise has no prominent role. She also has many new brothers and a new sister named Sunny, who is similar to her in many ways.
Quasimodo Wilson
Quasimodo "Quasi" Wilson (voiced by Jon Lovitz in the film, Scott McCord in the TV series) is the chef of the hotel. He would have to put up with Dracula's menu suggestions. Quasimodo despises humans where he even wants to make a dish out of them as well being abusive to a gargoyle waiter. He was the first person besides Dracula to know that Johnny is a human. Quasi was frozen by Drac's powers enabling the gargoyle he abused to put Quasi's finger up his nose. With Esmeralda's help, a frozen Quasi announced Johnny's true nature during Mavis' celebration where the Fly translated his frozen language. Around the end of the film, Quasi is still magically frozen and being licked by Wayne and Wanda's pups.
Although Quasi isn't seen or mentioned in the second and third film, he does appear in the video game adaption of the second film where he is now reformed and no longer has issues with humans.
In the prequel TV series, Quasimodo is depicted with yellow hair and puts up with the criticism of his cooking from Mavis, her friends, and Aunt Lydia.
Esmeralda
Esmeralda is Quasimodo's pet brown rat who can sniff out any humans. After Quasimodo was magically frozen by Dracula, Esmeralda helps him expose Johnny as a human during Mavis' party.
Although Esmeralda isn't seen or mentioned in the second film, she does appear in the video game adaption where she is now reformed like her owner.

The following are staff members at Hotel Transylvania:
- Three Calacas make up Hotel Transylvania's mariachi band.
- The Gargoyles work as Hotel Transylvania's waiters. One Gargoyle waiter was often abused by Quasimodo.
- The Headless Horseman is Hotel Transylvania's designated chauffeur who has a jack-o'-lantern for a head. He is the one who drives the guests to and from Hotel Transylvania in a stagecoach. In the first film, he brings Wayne and Wanda's family to Hotel Transylvania as Wayne warns him that one of his kids left a mess in his car. Johnny later runs into the Headless Horseman causing his jack-o'-lantern head to accidentally be knocked off amidst the panic. The Headless Horseman was seen at the party in the final scene. In the second film, the Headless Horseman transports Mavis and Johnny to the airport. Later on, he brings Johnny's family to Hotel Transylvania. In Hotel Transylvania: The Series, the Headless Horseman is replaced by an invisible driver.
- The Sentient Tables appear to be normal tables with tablecloths that have faces on them, but they can float and move on their own when given an order. Each of the Sentient Tables are named by their number and moved to whatever numbered position that they are told to go. In addition, they seem to understand the mind of the person who calls them and they can fly quite swiftly to achieve what they are ordered.
- The shrunken heads (voiced by Luenell and Jim Wise) are Hotel Transylvania's equivalent to the "Do Not Disturb" signs and are hung on doorknobs, they all say "do not disturb", but also comment on current affairs when they think it appropriate.

- An unseen Giant octopus uses its tentacle to provide the diving board for Hotel Transylvania's swimming pool.
- The zombie versions of Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart are shown as some of the entertainment at Hotel Transylvania.

The three zombies are later seen dancing at the party where they occasionally switched heads with each other.
- The Fly (voiced by Chris Parnell) is the hotel's fitness coordinator. He can also translate any speech even if it is a frozen language.
- The Old Gremlin is a slow-moving gremlin who is the activities director at Hotel Transylvania.
Hotel Transylvania guests
- The Elderly Gremlin is a character who has a running gag through the series where she eats something in one bite and says "I didn't do that". At the bingo game, Frankenstein's wife Eunice has won and yells "Bingo!", but then the Elderly Gremlin eats the card. At the charades game, Johnny, who is bored, just like everyone else, takes out his scooter, which the Elderly Gremlin ate. During the part where the monsters are trying to check out, the Elderly Gremlin claimed that Johnny made her eat his scooter. In the second film, the Elderly Gremlin ate one of the attackers working for Bela and also ate Dennis's birthday cake just as he was going to blow out the candle as she quotes "I didn't do that!"
- Marty (voiced by Robert Smigel) is a pink gill-man.
- Bigfoot (voiced by Corey Burton in Goodnight, Mr. Foot) is a recurring guest at Hotel Transylvania. This version is one of the largest monster guests at Hotel Transylvania. In Goodnight, Mr. Foot, Bigfoot checks into Hotel Transylvania and is bothered by a witch maid which ends with the two of them getting into a pillow fight. In the first film, the lead Suit of Armor tells Dracula of a clogged toilet in Room 348. Bigfoot is nearby and growls. Dracula quotes to Bigfoot that everybody gets stomachaches. During the gymnasium games, Bigfoot accidentally crushes a zombie. In the second film, Bigfoot attends Mavis and Johnny's wedding where his tears soak Linda. It was later mentioned by Frank that Bigfoot is doing well in the German's Soccer League. In the third film, Bigfoot is among the monsters that attend a cruise on the Legacy. At the end of the film, Bigfoot's head is finally scene.
- Mr. Hydraberg (voiced by Paul Brittain, Craig Kellman, Brian McCann, Jonny Solomon, and Jim Wise) is a six-headed Hydra that is a recurring guest at Hotel Transylvania and is one of the largest monster guests.

Countess Martha
Countess Martha (voiced by Jackie Sandler) was Dracula's wife, and Mavis' late mother. She had waist-length black hair, pale skin, and light blue eyes. She was murdered in 1895 by a mob of fearful humans, when Mavis was still an infant.
A painting of her next to Drac is hidden by a black veil in the basement, which also contains her coffin. Johnny recognises her in the painting and quotes a legend passed on in which she is called "Lady Lubov" by humans. The circumstances of her death have been changed to where she simply disappeared in a mysterious fire.
Introduced in Hotel Transylvania 2
Dennis
Dennis or Dennisovitch (voiced by Sunny Sandler as a baby, Asher Blinkoff as a child) is introduced in Hotel Transylvania 2. He is Johnny and Mavis' human/vampire hybrid son, born on Friday the 13th. He physically resembles Johnny, but has Mavis' blue eyes.
Dennis shows no vampire traits, causing Drac considerable worry, and he attempts several times to force Dennis' vampire abilities to manifest. At Dennis' fifth birthday party his great-grandfather Vlad dismisses Drac's concerns as Dennis being a "late fanger" – just like Drac was.
At the party, Bela – Vlad's henchman – realises there are humans present and summons his pack to attack them. The hotel guests and humans all band together to defend themselves from the vampire pack. The threat to his family and friends is the necessary catalyst for Dennis and he transforms into a vampire joining the fight, defeating Bela and the pack.
During the animated short Puppy!, Drac gets Dennis a giant puppy named "Tinkles" as a present.
In the third film, Dennis and his now inseparable friend Winnie smuggle Tinkles aboard The Legacy when the hotel inhabitants all go on vacation. Dennis has only a supporting role, but Tinkles forms part of the assault on the Kraken and Van Helsing's musical DJ booth. Afterwards, Dennis resists looking at Winnie as he is too young to Zing.
Vlad
Vladimir "Vlad" Dracula (voiced by Mel Brooks) is Drac and Lydia's father. He appears in the second film when Drac invites him to Dennis' 5th birthday party. The invite has actually been sent by Mavis, and Drac is worried that Vlad is a "traditional" vampire and will not accept Johnny or his involvement with Mavis and their son.
Ironically, Vlad defends Dennis to Drac, supporting the theory that he's a "late fanger" and will show his vampire traits when put under stress. This makes Drac realize he's gone to far forcing Dennis' vampire heritage, and when Vlad discovers Dennis' humanity Drac faces off to his father making Vlad accept Dennis and Johnny as part of the family. Vlad then joins in the fight against Bela and his pack when they attack the party guests at the end of the film.
Vlad appears in the third film in a supporting role, enjoying the holiday on The Legacy, flirting with a group of witches while on the deck. It is implied that he now lives at the hotel with the other guests.
Bela
Bela (voiced by Rob Riggle) is a vampire bat monster and Vlad's companion. He attacked Winnie and Dennis and threatened to destroy the Hotel Transylvania, enraging Dennis to the point that his vampire abilities manifested. Bela was then severely beaten by the boy. He summoned his fellow vampire bat monsters, but they were driven off by Dracula and his family and friends. Unwilling to give up, he attacked Johnny with a spike only to be stopped by Vlad and shrunk to a harmless size as Vlad tells him never to bother him or his family again. He then became a play-thing for the wolf pups.
Bela was named after the actor Bela Lugosi who portrayed Dracula in the original 1931 Dracula film.
Crystal the Invisible Woman
Crystal (voiced by Chrissy Teigen) is an invisible woman. She made a cameo appearance in Hotel Transylvania 2 where she meets Griffin and falls in love. In Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation, she has become Griffin's girlfriend. She is also friends with Eunice, Wanda and Ericka.

Johnny's family
The following are members of Johnny's family:
- Mike (voiced by Nick Offerman) is Johnny's father.
- Linda (voiced by Megan Mullally) is Johnny's mother.
- In the sequel, it is shown that Dennis has three cousins named Troy (voiced by Ethan Smigel), Connor, and Parker. They are first seen at the family dinner where they mention to Dennis that Hotel Transylvania is pretty cool. When they ask him who the coolest monster is (among the monsters at the hotel) and he responds with Kakie, they laugh at him. Later, at Dennis' birthday party when Winnie pins Dennis to the ground and starts licking his face, they tease him for getting "beaten by a girl". Winnie growls at them, scaring them away. They are last seen at the end of the film when Dennis, using his newfound monster powers, defends them from Bela's forces.
- Simon and William are two of Johnny and Melly's six brothers.
- Melly is Mike and Linda's only daughter.
Harry Three-Eye
Harry Three-Eye (voiced by Robert Smigel) is a three-eyed monster magician with tentacles for a moustache.
Kakie
Kakie (voiced by Chris Kattan) is the "Monster" within a children's television series of the same name of which Dennis is a fan of. His main act is reminding kids to share, that too many sweets are bad, and of course eating cake. The actor portraying him is a man named Brandon, who shown to be indifferent about the act and show.
In Hotel Transylvania 2, Brandon appears as Kakie for Dennis' birthday party near the film's climax. While in the middle of his act, he is possessed by Vlad who hopes that possessing Dennis' favorite thing will scare his fangs out. He then grows in a giant, muscular, monstrous version of Kakie which scares Dennis. As Dracula turns Kakie back to normal, Brandon is heard inside the costume proclaiming that no parents better review the situation on Yelp.
Kakie is possibly a parody of the Cookie Monster from Sesame Street.
Erik the Phantom of the Opera
Erik the Phantom of the Opera (voiced by Jon Lovitz) is Hotel Transylvania's residential musician who appears in the second film. He is first seen playing melancholy music at Mavis and Johnny's wedding and even played music during the dinner with Mavis and Johnny's family while listening in on their conversation. The Phantom of the Opera later plays music during Dennis' fifth birthday party during the performance of the person performing Kakie. During Dracula's heated argument between Mavis and Jonathan, they get fed up with the Phantom of the Opera playing his music during this time and shout at him to shut up.
Introduced in Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation
Tinkles
Tinkles (voiced by Joe Whyte) is a giant puppy and Dennis' pet who first appears in the short Puppy!.
In his debut, Tinkles was obtained by Dracula when Mavis and Johnny think that Dennis having a pet is too much of a responsibility. He does cause some trouble for Drac.

Ericka
Ericka Van Helsing (voiced by Kathryn Hahn in the film, Julianne Buescher in Hotel Transylvania 3: Monsters Overboard) is the captain of the monster cruise ship The Legacy and the great-granddaughter of Abraham Van Helsing.
Ericka is part of Abraham's plan to kill Drac and all monsters, by taking them on The Legacy to Atlantis where they will all be destroyed by an "Instrument of Destruction", found only in the lost city's ruins.
When Drac first sets eyes on Ericka he "zings" with her, causing him distress as he believed a zing was a once in a lifetime occurrence. Despite Van Helsing's plan, Ericka makes several attempts to kill Drac, but begins to see him as a family man rather than a monster. During the climax of the film Ericka professes her love for Drac and rescues him from the Kraken. Back at the hotel Drac proposes to her and she accepts.
Van Helsing
Professor Abraham Van Helsing (voiced by Jim Gaffigan) is a former monster hunter and arch-enemy of Count Dracula, Frankenstein, Wayne, Griffin and Murray.
In 1897, Abraham Van Helsing tracked a disguised Drac, Frankenstein, Griffin, Murray and Wayne to a train, but was unsuccessful in killing them. He subsequently tracked Drac down many times, but always failed to defeat him.
Many years later, Abraham has been mechanized to avoid death by mechanizing his body where only his head and hands remained. Abraham has brought his great-granddaughter Ericka into the family business. He has plans to eliminate all the monsters on the cruise upon its arrival at the lost city of Atlantis using an Instrument of Destruction that is to be found in Atlantis's ruins.
When at Atlantis, Van Helsing knocks out the DJ upon being given the Instrument of Destruction in the form of some sheet music. When he plays it, the song drives the nearby Kraken into a rage prompting it to attack the monsters.
