Monster High, a fashion doll and media franchise created by Garrett Sander and released by American toy company Mattel on June 11, 2010, features a variety of fictional characters, many of whom are students at the titular high school. The female characters are classified as Ghouls and the male characters are classified as Mansters. The characters are generally the sons and daughters, or related to monsters that have been popularized in fiction. The now-defunct official website identified six of the characters as Original Ghouls. In addition to the listed Ghouls and Mansters, there are other characters who have been introduced in the franchise's related media including the web/video and book series. In 2016, Natali Germanotta, sister of singer Lady Gaga, designed Zomby Gaga for the franchise as a partnership with the Born This Way Foundation.[1]
