-> Portrayed By: Kiel Campbell ([[Series/{{Goosebumps}} TV]])
The main protagonist. He and his friend, Hat, want to pull a prank on Courtney. But they fail constantly throughout.
----
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: He is beyond desperate to scare Courtney for one. But when it finally happens, it involves actual mud monsters that nearly kill them. Eddie even lampshades that as he watches Courtney scream, this moment that he was waiting for wasn't quite how he wanted it to be.
* {{Determinator}}: He is absolutely ADAMANT to get back at Courtney almost to any extent. He put a real-looking rubber snake in her lunchbox, tried to drop tarantulas on her head, tried to send an aggressive dog her way, and finally have Kevin and his high school friends scare her by dressing up as mud monsters.
* DirtyCoward: When his worried neighbor asks him to help her get her cat out of a tree, he selfishly does not because he says he's afraid of heights.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Yes, Courtney humiliated him and Hat by throwing a couple of bees at them in front of many other students, but that was a one-time prank that she quickly got over. But because of this incident, this triggers Eddie's intent to get revenge on her through various and rediculous methods.
* EmbarrassingNickname: His brother, Kevin, likes to call him "Bugs" after Bugs Bunny, because of his large two front teeth.
* GreenEyedMonster: Part of why Eddie hates Courtney so much is out of envy over the fact that she's so popular and TheAce at almost everything coming her way.
* IrrationalHatred: He and Hat really despise Courtney just because they view her as a snotty popular girl, even though she really isn't. This is worse in the TV episode, in which they torment her with pranks even though she never did anything wrong to them or anybody.
* {{Jerkass}}: He is clear example of this. Eddie is very rude most of the time and delves into malicious mischief.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: When he realizes that Courtney and Denise are in actual danger with the mud monsters, he risks the entire operation to save them.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Hat and him steal tarantulas from the school science lab and throw them from a gym terrace onto a couple of students. They are immediately then caught by their teacher, who makes them clean the science lab after school and write essays on why their behavior was wrong.
* NotSoSimilar: He is this with Herb, who [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname goes by the name Hat]] because he [[NeverBareheaded almost never takes off his hat]] [[PleaseKeepYourHatOn which hides his nauseating hair inside]]. While Hat tends to be mischievous, he isn't extreme about as Eddie is.
* OnlyOneName: He never reveals what his surname is. In fact, he doesn't reveal anybody else's surname, either.
* RaceLift: In the TV episode, he is portrayed by an actor who's probably Hispanic.
* RedheadsAreUncool: He has red hair, and he is an obnoxious loser who isn't popular at school.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: He is so set on pranking Courtney that, at one point, he was willing to sic a vicious dog on her.
* UngratefulBastard: Courtney saves him from a snake on a field trip (and a tarantula while in the closet in the TV episode). This does not make him change his mind about her, thinking that she just did that for attention.
* UnreliableNarrator: He portrays him and Hat as the heroes of the story. When in reality, they are anything but.
* VillainProtagonist: He spends the whole book harassing Courtney with pranks for mostly no good reason, and doesn't show any remorse for any of it.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: He is hiding in the bushes as part of a mud monster prank to scare Courtney and her best friend, Denise, and is initially impressed with the mud monsters that appear around them. But then Kevin arrives saying that he his friends got a flat tire and can't come, which means that [[OhCrap these mud monsters around them right now are real]]. This causes Eddie to give up on pranking Courtney and comes out of his hiding place, telling them to run away in concern for her safety.
* YouAreWhatYouHate: He hates the fact that Kevin picks and pulls pranks on him, despite the fact that he enjoys doing the same thing with Courtney.

----
* CoveredInMud: They ''are'' mud.
* FlatCharacter: Despite being the book's featured monsters, they don't actually show up until the climax at the swamp and are pretty much shambling brutes with no apparent sentience. Of course, a centuries old mass of earth wouldn't exactly have a vibrant personality.
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: At this point, they're basically half human, half mud.
* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: In the TV show, Courtney does this by going on a rant towards the Mud Monster in order to stall it long enough for it to dry out in the hot sun.
* TragicMonster: They were originally poor settlers forced to live in huts alongside Muddy Creek because the richer citizens of the nearby village wanted nothing to do with them. On the night of a violent storm, the creek was flooded, washed the village away, and the settlers drowned to death.
