Monster High: The Movie

Clawdeen Wolf is a biracial half-werewolf girl, born from a human father named Apollo and a werewolf mother named Selena. On Clawdeen's 15th birthday, she receives an invitation to study at Monster High. Although reluctant, Apollo agrees to let her attend, on the condition that she hides her human side.

Upon arriving at Monster High, Clawdeen befriends Frankie Stein, a non-binary Frankenmonster with a brilliant mind, and falls in love with Deuce Gorgon, son of Medusa. She also meets Draculaura, daughter of Dracula; Cleo de Nile, Deuce's ex-girlfriend and daughter of the Mummy; Lagoona Blue, a Colombian sea monster; and zombie Ghoulia Yelps. The school's Headmistress Bloodgood invites Clawdeen to represent the students at a Monster High Council on the upcoming Founder's Day, to which she agrees.

Clawdeen discovers that she temporarily transforms into a human when she feels strong emotions, particularly around Deuce. During class, her professor Mr. Komos recounts the story of Edward "Eddy" Hyde, a former student and half-monster who was expelled when his human side was discovered, allowing him to be killed by hunters. Komos says that Hyde has a secret lab in the school and that he created a formula to transform himself into a full-blooded monster, but was never able to test it due to being killed before it happened. Clawdeen decides to find and drink the formula.

Clawdeen's secret is discovered by Frankie. Instead of shunning her, they help her look for Hyde's lab in the school graveyard. There, they discover Draculaura practicing witchcraft which they promise to keep secret in exchange for her help. The group finds the lab, but it has a lock that only a certain hand can open.

Draculaura finds a spell that might unlock the lab, with ogre's bone as one of the ingredients. Clawdeen collects some from Bloodgood's mug and is nearly caught by Cleo, until Draculaura casts a spell to change Clawdeen's likeness. The next ingredient is snake's venom, which Clawdeen obtains from Deuce's hair; the two develop feelings for each other after gaining each other's trust. Later, Clawdeen, Frankie and Draculaura complete the spell, but are unable to unlock the lab and are caught by Bloodgood, Komos, and Cleo, the latter of whom told Bloodgood about Draculaura's magic practice. As the school starts to quake, Bloodgood realizes that there is an "untrue monster heart" somewhere among them.

The next day while feeling she's putting everyone at risk, Clawdeen leaves the school. Draculaura and Frankie find her and convince her to return, saying they will help her no matter what. On Founder's Day, the group discovers that Clawdeen's transformed human hand can open Hyde's lab; although the space appears to simply be an ogre's tomb, they find Hyde's lab and formula behind a hidden door. Clawdeen almost drinks the formula, but stops, reluctant about giving up her "other half". Suddenly, Mr. Komos appears, revealing he is also part human and telling Clawdeen that giving up on yourself isn't the answer. When she gives him the formula, Komos drinks it instead, revealing that he is Hyde's son himself and that he seeks to avenge his father's death by destroying Monster High.

Komos transforms into a full-blooded monster with the ability to absorb a monster's powers, taking Draculaura's powers first. After locking Komos in the lab, Clawdeen, Frankie and Draculaura call Cleo for help, who arrives with Lagoona, Deuce, Ghoulia, Abbey and Heath. Komos escapes and steals Deuce's powers next, transforming Deuce into stone; Clawdeen, heartbroken, transforms into a full human, much to the teenagers' shock. Clawdeen uses Cleo's phone to make Mr. Komos look at his own reflection, petrifying him and returning Draculaura and Deuce's powers. Bloodgood, Dracula, and the Monster High Council arrive in time to discover both Komos' intentions and Clawdeen's secret.

The next day, Apollo arrives to pick up Clawdeen so they can return to the human world. To both their surprise, Headmistress Bloodgood reveals that she's not expelling Clawdeen because of her "true monster heart" and Dracula states that the school's charter is being rewritten to acknowledge that not all humans are bad. The monsters welcome Clawdeen as their first official human-blooded student, Dracula allows Draculaura to practice witchcraft, and Deuce runs for student council. Clawdeen is celebrated by Dracula, Apollo, and all of the students.

In an unknown place, a witch watches through a crystal ball and instructs her minions to bring Draculaura to her so that they can use her to end the war between witches and vampires.
