History Characters / Nightmarish

* AdaptationSpeciesChange: The original monster was very human-looking, albeit doomed by UncannyValley. Here, they're a patchwork beast of various animals, best described as a "waling taxidermy".

[[folder: VF-01 "Scrap" Frankenstein]]

* WolfMan: Was portrayed as an anthro wolf in previous versions, but the recent take has them following the traditional werewolf tropes.

* WerewolvesAreDogs: Older drafts had this be played straight, as not only was their occupation based on dogs tending to dig holes in their owners' yard, but they also initially wore nothing but a collar, had cars on their like list and [[MailmanVsDog mailmen]] on their dislike list, and had one comic about them being colorblind. In later versions, these are done away with, as while Lawrence still wears a collar and is colorblind, these have nothing to do with their lycanthropy.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Only Olive appeared once in the whole series, and they have yet to be seen in the reboot.

An amnesiac revenant fished from the dumpster, and castle maid.

The castle maid.

The butler and musician.

[[folder: Dr. Henry Jekyll/Edward Hyde]]
The castle's scientist and medic.

* [[SlimeGirl Slime]] [[GenderInvertedTrope Boy]]: As established in the 2022 Instagram bios, they're a shadow spirit that's 60% [=HJ7=],[[note]]That was the name of the formula in the [[Theatre/JekyllAndHyde musical]].[[/note]] giving off this vibe.

[[folder: Gill]]

* AlliterativeName: As of 2020, his name is '''L'''awrence '''L'''ycan.

[[folder: Lawrence Lycan]]

* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: As a werewolf, he wears his chained collar (which fits him regardless) and his crossbody purse (which carries his man clothes, as he does not want them ruined during his shifts).
* AdaptationalNonsapience: The 2022 incarnation has his lupine form more animalistic in personality. While AlternateIdentityAmnesia is still averted, he's still dangerous and feral as a wolf and is unable to speak.

* AndIMustScream: Lawrence knows what he does in his wolf form, but is unable to control his lupine instinct for the most part.
* LittleBitBeastly: His standard form has him retain lupine eye ducts, fangs, extra body hair, claws, and even paw pads.
* RealMenWearPink: A buff and fierce yet very fancy werewolf.

* WolfMan: Was portrayed as an anthro wolf in previous versions, but the recent take has him following the traditional werewolf tropes.

* AscendedExtra: Goes from neighbor to queen in the reboot.

* AdaptationalGenderIdentity: the 2018 series had them as a trans woman, and while 2020 had them go by dominantly masculine pronouns for a while, 2022 would have them be genderfluid.

[[folder: Vladimir "Drac" Dracula]]
The count himself, who moved in and became royal adviser after his castle was destroyed by an angry mob.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: It's no shock that being a vampire, he has to drink blood. The main thing is, for him it's his ''energy drink''.

* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: The curse was actually inherited from his ancestor King Lycaon (yes, ''that'' one). As of 2022, he follows the traditional werewolf tropes such as full-moon transformations and a feral state (but that being said, his memory is fine). While he acknowledges it as a curse, [[CursedWithAwesome he refuses to see it as a burden]].

* MyInstinctsAreShowing: It's said he does show a bit of canine personality characteristics once in a while.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: It's no shock that being a vampire, he has to drink blood. The main thing is, for him it's his ''energy drink'.

* ButtMonkey: Her introductory comic in the original series has her sarcophagus break ''because the castle's music is that loud''. This will die down in the reboot.

* BlindingBangs: Medusa has these to avoid petrifying people.

* DemonOfHumanOrigin: His demonic status was a side-effect of the formula.

* WasOnceAMan: Half of the cast used to be human before their deaths and resurrections. These include [[HeadlessHorseman Axel]], [[{{Mummy}} Aziza]], [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Drac]], [[OurGhostsAreDifferent Phantom]], [[DemonOfHumanOrigin Jekyll]].

These include [[HeadlessHorseman Axel]], [[{{Mummy}} Aziza]], [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Drac]], [[OurGhostsAreDifferent Phantom]], [[DemonOfHumanOrigin Jekyll]], and [[RevenantZombie Lawrence]].[[note]]Lycanthropy is rather a genetic thing similar to that of autism rather than a curse or whole species.[[/note]]

%%* {{Mummy}}

%%* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Blood, of course!

%%* NoBiologicalSex
%%* OnlySaneMan
* PerpetualFrowner: Doesn't smile that often.
* SkunkStripe: Has two white and yellow streaks on their hair, inspired by the ''Film/BrideOfFrankenstein''.
* SurroundedByIdiots: Seems to be their mindset.

* LivingShadow: In the reboot.

* OurDemonsAreDifferent: They're a demon in the original series.
* ShoutOut: When both are active as of 2020, they're conjoined at the waist ''WesternAnimation/CatDog'' style

* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: For starters, Lycanthropy's more of a benign genetic condition than a straight-up curse. Second, those who have it are usually able to shift at will into different "stages" (from LittleBitBeastly to Man-Wolf to full wolf, Lawrence usually in the man-wolf stage), though there are times the transformations are spontaneous (extreme emotion or hunger). The only time they are unable to shift into their beast form is on days with a New Moon, while the days they are unable to shift to non-beast is, of course, when there's a Full Moon that night.
