Steve Buscemi as Randall Boggs, a snide and preening monster with a chameleon-like ability to change his skin color and blend in completely with his surroundings, who makes himself a rival to Sulley and Mike in the scream collection. The crest on Randall's head may have been inspired by the possible wings of Longisquama, an extinct lizard from the Triassic period. Evans, Bradford (February 17, 2011).

After being banished by Mike and Sulley like in the film, Randall meets Vanitas and the pair form an alliance. Vanitas fixes the door which Randall uses to return to Monsters Inc. with a desire for ambition and revenge on his old enemies. Determined to prove that laughter is unsustainable to power Monstropolis, he uses the Unversed to acquire a means for negative emotional energy and managed to weaponize the machinery in the facility.

A prequel, Monsters University was released on June 21, 2013. Set in Mike and Sulley's college years, it is about how the two became friends and got their job.

Like I said, the storyline follows the movie quite well. Monsters believe human children are dangerous, but need their screams for electricity. So they scare them at night while they are asleep. But one day, a little human girl finds her way into the land of monsters. Sully and Mike meet Boo and have to help her get home, while protecting her from the other monsters.

I never should have trusted you with this. Because of you, I had to banish my top scarer! Shortly before the film's release, Pixar was sued by children's songwriter Lori Madrid of Wyoming, stating that the company had stolen her ideas from her 1997 poem "There's a Boy in My Closet". In Monsters, Inc., Randall is very ruthless, short-tempered, manipulative, calculating, heartless, and overall evil in nature. He is also a cold, selfish, truculent, and argumentative jerk who doesn't care about anyone but himself. Judging by his intentions to capture children for their screams (and possibly never return them), he is probably willing to severely harm little children (or worse). Another lawsuit by Stanley Mouse alleged that the characters of Mike and Sulley were based on drawings he had tried to sell Hollywood in 1998.

At one point, Randall threatens to put Fungus through the door shredder if he did not get him another door within five seconds. This is a reference to Carl Showalter, Steve Buscemi's character from Fargo, who was killed by being shredded in a wood chipper.
