Background

Randall Boggs is one of the two main antagonists of Disney•Pixar's 2001 animated film Monsters, Inc. (alongside Henry J. Waternoose III) and the supporting protagonist-turn-tertiary antagonist of its 2013 prequel. Snide and vindictive, Randall is notoriously envious of James P. Sullivan, his arch-nemesis and the most beloved scarer in Monstropolis. To make his mark on the world while simultaneously stealing Sullivan's spotlight, Randall plots to "revolutionize" the scaring industry using conspiratorial means that involves kidnapping human children.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Randall's story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Monsters University in the prequel, Randall (nicknamed "Randy") is first seen when Mike arrives in his new room as Randall is his roommate. The two greet each other and Randall seems nice, offering Mike first choice of the beds. Randall shows he has the power to turn invisible, doing so when surprised, leaving only his glasses hovering in mid-air. Mike suggests that he should use that power when scaring, to Randall's surprise. He soon follows Mike's advice of getting rid of his glasses because they don't disappear whenever he turns invisible. Even though the two become great friends, Randall is worried about school and wonders if he'll manage to impress the cool kids, but Mike reassures him. He follows Mike and sits next to him on their first day of class. Later, while Mike is studying scaring, Randall decided to bake cupcakes for a party organized by the cool kids, decorating them to spell "Be My Pal" (the letters on Randall's cupcakes are replaced by smiley faces in the international versions of the film to which the smiley faces are likely to represent Randall being a grateful colleague to Mike). At the party, Randall tries to offer cupcakes to some girls, but Mike runs into him while riding Archie the Scare Pig, splattering all the cupcakes on Randall, which spell "lame," with the letters on them, much to his dismay (the international versions of the film, the cupcakes spelling "lame" have been altered with smiley faces). He is later seen helping Mike study by asking him questions on phobias (such as arachnophobia, fear of spiders). However, Randall ends up slowly decreasing his friendship with Mike when he replaces Sulley as a member of Roar Omega Roar and thus was unable to help Mike and join Oozma Kappa as their sixth member since he is finally in with the "cool kids". His friendship with Mike decreased further when Randall took part in his group's prank on Mike's team, Oozma Kappa. After this, he is frequently seen in group shots of the Roar Omega Roar until the final event of the Scare Games, where he faces off against Sulley. Randall is poised to scare, when the vibrations from Sulley's roar, cause him to fall on a carpet and involuntarily blend in with its pink and heart pattern, causing his scare score to be minimal, resulting in his former "friends" berating him and kicking him out. After this, he looks over bitterly at Sulley and mumbles his last line in the film, "That's the last time I lose to you, Sullivan!". Because of this, Randall supposedly begins his gradual descent into villainy as his jealousy for Sulley grows over the years. Because of his hatred for Sulley, he also comes to no longer accept Mike as well, but not for the same reason. Randall seems to hate Mike by the time Monsters, Inc. happens, not because of anything that he personally did to him, like Sulley, but simply because of Mike's close association with him. During the credits, Randall appears on one of the Scare Cards, eventually becoming a Scarer at Monsters, Inc. Monster Inc. In Monsters, Inc., Randall is Sulley and Mike's arch-nemesis and direct rival. He is able to harness his invisibility at will as seen when he used it to scare Mike in the locker room. He is shown to be in competition with Sulley and Mike for the glorious post of Top Scarer. He also managed to beat Sulley and become the Top Scarer, though the victory was short-lived when Sulley managed to scare an entire slumber party and regain his spot seconds later. He then furiously threatens to put Fungus into the shredder if he does not bring him a new door in 5 seconds. However, Randall has also constructed a "Scream Extractor" and tries to kidnap a human child in cooperation with the company's leader (and his own henchman) Henry J. Waternoose, with the hope of eventually rising to the leadership of the company. However, this plot failed when Sulley was sent by Mike after closing hours to recover paperwork (which Mike forgot to turn in) and stumbled upon the kid, whom Sulley nicknamed Boo. He eventually deduced Mikey as being involved in Boo's release into the Monster World and tried to talk him into bringing the child to him, only for this to backfire when Mike accidentally got himself captured trying to convince Sulley that Randall was not up to something. Largely because Sulley witnessed Randall going in, they initially thought he was trying to "cheat" at the scare record. However, after his accidental capture of Mike, he makes clear that his plans did not even involve winning the scare record, let alone cheating at it. After Sulley and Mike are exiled, Randall and Mr. Waternoose go through with testing the Scream Extractor on Boo. However, Mr. Waternoose expresses distaste and guilt for having to exile Sulley and Mike due to Randall's negligence, as well as pointing out that Sulley was "twice the scarer Randall could ever be." After Sulley manages to escape and wreck the Scream Extractor, Mr. Waternoose orders an enraged Randall to stop him as Randall then attacks Sulley and tries to strangle him. He proves to be quite an adversary due to his chameleon-like abilities. However, when Mike gets annoyed with the fact that Sulley is not listening to his apology, he throws a snowball at him, hitting Randall instead, allowing Mike to realize that Randall has been attacking Sulley. Randall gave pursuit and had them cornered at the Scare Floor. After learning the truth from Mike, Celia aided them by "awarding" Randall with the all-time Scare Record (though Randall was too determined to stop Sulley and Mike to care about his "victory"). He goes after the trio in a chase through the factory until he manages to grab Boo and escape into an activated door. When Sulley comes to rescue her, Randall surprises him and tries to send him falling from the door, lamenting of how Sulley was always the best Scarer and with him gone, Randall will finally come on top. Suddenly, Boo overcomes her fear of Randall as she begins to pull on his frond and hits him with a baseball bat, making him turn different colors, then Sulley restrains him with a chokehold, followed by a snake wrestling maneuver. Sulley remarks to Randall that it looks like he is out of a job. Afterward, he gets thrown through an active door while desperately begging them not to do it, that banishes him to a trailer home in the middle of a swamp in the south, where a Cajun family beats Randall senseless with a shovel, thinking he is an alligator. Sulley then shatters the glass light to the door and is then tipped over the railing it was leaning against and shatters on the floor far below, thus ensuring Randall cannot return through the door. Randall's plan is further foiled when Sulley and Mike later expose Mr. Waternoose of his and Randall's actions as the CDA arrest Waternoose
