- ? Monster, Monster High, we might give you a fright ?

- ? Unique as can be - ? Yeah

- ? And friends forever, literally ?

? We might walk, might swim, might fly ?

? Either way, we gonna run the night ?

- ? We're Monster, Monster High ?

? Monster, Monster High ?

? We might give you a fright

? Monster, Monster High ?

? Friendship never dies ?

? We're Monster High ?

? Monster High-igh-igh-igh ?

[whispering] We're Monster High.

- No, no, not this one.

Ugh, Captain Willie, once again,

I'm near the end of the time I can maintain this form.

Even after all I went through

when I was in that Foxford shape

to get the key to the were-ruler library

and steal the orb from Dracula's safe

so I could decode the ancient, rare creature texts.

To stop forever shifting,

become one who belongs and sees drifting.

Blah blah, blah. I'm trying.

If being in the form of Headmistress Bloodgood

doesn't count as belonging,

well, then I don't know what does.

Oh! Ah!

I hate the glitching.

Why can't I figure out a form that I can stay in forever?

Oh.

"Were-Aardvark to Were-Zebra:

A Complete Guide to All the Were Creatures."

Maybe that holds the key.

Now, where are my hands?

[grunts]

- Hey, Catty. Yeah, I'm at Furball Hall.

It does feel weird that it's my last day as were-ruler.

I'm even packing up my office.

Anyway, the reason I called was to talk about the concert

after the election results are announced.

We can meet there, then head over to Monster High.

And--I'll call you back. [phone beeps]

Wait, is that the shapeshifters' whale toy?

[grunts]

What were you doing in the library?

Why are you here? [both grunts]

- Ugh. I do not like it when you play twinsies.

Here's the thing.

I have a lot of practice being me.

So you should-- - Run away? Way ahead of you.

- [groans]

What? Hmm.

- This is Karen Kraken reporting live

from Furball Hall

with a special were-election news report.

- Where could they be?

- Deadline for voting is tomorrow.

And these are the candidates vying for your vote.

Whiskerene, Whiskerbeth, Bearon,

Romulus, and Barkimedes.

- The shapeshifter could be any of--

- [screaming]

- Cleo, why did you scream? - [laughing]

Screaming with laughter. Oh.

Frankie and I were setting up the ballot box.

And Frankie just told me the most high-voltage joke.

- Frankie, uh, what's your mom's middle name?

- Huh, easy--Shelley.

This is fun. What's your mom's middle name?

- There's got to be a better way to find the shapeshifter.

Come on, instincts.

[mystical music]

? ?

- Uh, Clawdeen, why are you squinting

and staring at everyone?

- According to my bionic ear,

it sounded like she mumbled something about finding

the shapeshifter. - Shapeshifter? Where? Who?

- Last I saw, they looked like me.

But before that, they were Headmistress Bloodgood.

- Headmistress, ugh, that's why she called me

Frizzy twice last week.

Thought it was just a fun nickname.

- Oh, furballs.

If the shifter has been impersonating headmistress,

the real headmistress must be trapped

in that troll dimension. - We're hearing action alert.

- Um, hello.

Are you all having an important discussion without moi?

- We should take this to were-office.

Deuce, we need you for a minute.

- You got it.

Seven scalies and one Deuce dude reporting for duty.

- Clawdeen, are you forgetting something?

Ugh.

- There's power in us working together.

So we need to use the portal in this whale

to go to the troll dimension and save Bloodgood.

But we also really need to figure out--

[door opens] - There you are.

As I was trying to say, the Little Paws will be here soon

to do their election project.

And instead of getting ready for them,

you're here having a secret boo crew meeting.

- Oh, no! The Little Paws.

I can't exactly be mentoring kids

while I'm on a top-secret mission.

Toralei, can you look after all the Little Paws on your own?

- I can't be in charge of a group of were-kids

all by myself.

- Hmm.

- Whiskerene? - Are you the real Whiskerene?

- Not another step, possible shapeshifter.

- You prove you're you.

- I have not a clue what you're talking about.

I thought I'd get a quick measure of my future office.

This space is much smaller than I realized.

Hmm, maybe when I'm were-ruler, I can knock down that wall.

[scoffs] - Totally self-centered?

Yeah, I think that's really Whiskerene.

- If you say so.

all: Little Paws.

- I saw two bugs.

- That's clawsome, Bunny. - I'm Hisstina.

And this is Bunny. And this is Pawla.

- I think this office is reaching max capacity.

- It is cozy, isn't it?

- Yeah!

- We just need a moment. [overlapping chatter]

- [howling]

I'm still were-ruler, so here's what's going to happen.

Toralei and Whiskerene, you take charge of the Little Paws

and get back to Furball Hall.

- Oh, I suppose I can do that.

The were-pups can help me pick out

the new curtains I'll be installing

in Furball Hall when I become were-ruler.

This way, young ones.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

- The Little Paws are here to learn

and have fun volunteering, not to help you with your chores.

- Okay, quick,

before someone else randomly pops in here, what's the plan?

- Yeah, let's get to the rescuing.

- But there's another mystery. This--the shapeshifter had it.

- That's no mystery.

That's my dad's missing decoder orb.

- A decoder? [gasps]

The shapeshifter was using it in the library.

- Um, shouldn't we be portal-ing off

to save Headmistress Bloodgood?

- Yeah, and finding the shapeshifter?

- Being were-ruler has taught me that sometimes

it's best to slow down and think about things.

If we can find what they were decoding,

maybe we can learn something to help us stop them,

like why they came here or why they keep shapeshifting.

- I bet it's fun, like when you go into your human form.

- That's it, Frankie! - [gasps] Really?

- Well, not exactly.

But we learned in grade school that all were-creatures

are shapeshifters.

Most of them only have a creature form and a human form.

- So whoever we're dealing with

must be some sort of were-creature that can shift

into different forms.

Totally tracks that they came to the were-ruler library

for exclusive deets on the how-tos.

- [gasps] This is it!

"To stop forever shifting, become one who belongs

and cease drifting." - A riddle!

If we can figure it out, maybe we can stop them.

- I bet Headmistress Bloodgood would be a big help.

She knows more about monsters than anyone.

- You're right. And now I have a plan.

We'll split into teams.

Operation Rescue Headmistress Bloodgood

and Team Stop Shapeshifter.

- Go, team! - We're ready.

Go for it, Frankie.

- Good thing my Dr. Blunder brain bit

knows all about activating portals

hidden in stuffed animals. - [grunts]

all: Whoa!

[grunting] - Whoa.

Things have changed here.

[footsteps thudding, creature snarling]

- Ah!

- [roaring]

- Head for the fortress!

Aah!

- What? Hey!

- [grunts] [groans] Sticky!

- [screaming] - Ah, you finally arrived.

I knew my intrepid students would figure it out--

eventually.

[chuckles] A B-plus effort.

- Nice traps.

No way the troll is getting past those.

- Now we'll think of a strategy for distracting the troll

and getting you out of here, Headmistress.

- No need. Escape plan is ready to go.

- [roaring] [all gasp]

- Let's find that shifter.

- Hello. Good to see you.

Are you a shapeshifter? How about you?

- Shapeshifter? Next!

- Hey, Teez, any thoughts on belonging or drifting?

- When were-creatures are done marking their ballots,

they put them in a box like this.

There are hundreds of these ballot boxes

set up all over the world.

Of course, I voted for myself.

Pups, enough wolf-play now!

- One sticker per voter. [both giggle]

- Yes, it's a tight race,

but I believe I stand out from the crowd.

- Fintastic. It will be perfect for my documentary.

- Yay! [laughter]

- Excuse me. Please watch the little ones.

I have a campaign duty.

- You mean crashing Whiskerbeth's interview?

- Um, yes, that is my intention.

- Listen, I get being competitive,

but you have to think about creatures

other than yourself right now.

- Toralei, Whiskerene, we need some help.

- Hisstina, how did this even happen?

Pawla, Pawl, come back!

- [laughs] Well, this is an impressively sticky situation.

- I got a gift for sticky situations.

- [chuckling] - Can you help her?

- "Help"? Well, I'm not used to helping others,

but I suppose I could try.

- Now!

Hello. We've been neighbors so long,

but we haven't been properly introduced.

I'm Headmistress Bloodgood,

and these are some of my finest students.

First up, Deuce.

- Oh, things are getting rocky for the troll dude.

- Clawdeen Wolf.

She's a newer student but a quick learner.

- Headmistress has been collecting the super-sticky sap

from the trees for weeks.

Come on! - Over here!

- And here's Monster High's student bloody president,

Draculaura.

- [growls]

- Excellent work, students.

Now run!

- [roaring]

[all grunt]

- Yes! Welcome back, Headmistress!

I would have totally missed you if I had any clue

you'd been missing for three months.

- I don't know what's happening,

but I must get it on film.

Wait, why am I there?

- Oh, um, I better film this.

- [gasps] That's the shapeshifter!

- What is going on here? Aah!

- It's over. No more impersonating our friends.

Let's figure out where you belong, together.

- Never!

[roaring]

[all shout] - Another me?

Oh, no, thank you.

This is Karen Kraken signing off!

- Stay away from me!

Ugh!

Why does this always happen?

Go away! [flatulence]

- [sniffing]

- Clawdeen, are you here?

We need to plan the set list

for the election-results concert at Monster High.

[distant roaring] Lagoona, what's happening?

- There's an angry shapeshifter in Kraken form outside.

Very dramatic.

- [roaring]

- Fighting something of this size...

[all shout] Will be tough.

But with our plan--

- Wait, Clawd, we can't just fight this out.

The whole reasons I introduced elections

is to stop fighting to solve everything.

- But fighting's very effective.

- And kind of fun. - And fast.

- And if we don't fight,

how are we supposed to calm a kraken?

- They're a shapeshifter, which means they're a were-creature.

And I'm the were-ruler. It's my duty to help them.

- Leave me alone! [roars]

[mysterious music]

? ?

- [roaring]

- Ah, safety.

- Whiskerbeth, let me in!

- No room, Romulus! Move along!

- [roaring]

- Aah! - Were-pups, watch out!

- Our enemies try to take us down.

But during the chaos, heroes rise.

- We've got to get the Little Paws out of here.

- I have an idea. Follow me.

- [roaring]

- Clawdeen.

- I'm not trying to...

[grunts] Fight you.

- I said, leave me alone!

- We just want to know what the riddle means.

"To stop forever shifting,

become one who belongs and cease drifting."

[screams]

- Um, also, how come you've never shifted into me?

Being a royal mummy is not spooktacular enough for you?

[cat yowls] - [roars] Ah!

Tentacle tangle!

- If you don't like being a kraken,

shift into your original form. - No!

Go away! - Aah!

- Cleo! - [grunting]

- You okay, Cleo?

You didn't break your spleen jar, did you?

- Aah! - [gasps] Oh, my Ra, Frankie.

So sweet of you to ask.

But ever since I got the mummy talisman,

I don't need to carry around my organs anymore.

- [grunts] We can't let it throw us around!

- Yeah, let's hold it down.

- This way. Things are less shaky here.

Ooh, being helpful feels, uh, good.

Ugh! Oh, well...

I must get back on the campaign trail.

- Where is Whiskerene going?

- Probably to help the others 'cause she's a good werewolf.

- Actually, she's going to go do something for herself--

like always.

- No, there's a whisper inside me saying

I should help the others.

- Hmm. I fear that's your conscience.

And trust me, once you start helping, you never stop.

So I'm coming with you.

[rumbling, all gasp] - Let's get rescuing!

- Holding it down was a bad idea.

- Oh! This violates multiple rules!

[all screaming]

[all groaning]

- Ah! - Whoa!

Landing on a boo crew has got to be bad luck.

- Hi, Catty. Excited for the concert.

- Being Foxford taught me a few things

about Furball Hall.

Ugh! Ah!

Ha ha!

[hissing] - [gasps]

Is that the Mrs. Wolf and Son bug trap spray?

- Yes, it is!

Your mom created the formula when she was were-ruler.

Learned that in the were-library--

so educational.

Now, don't follow me!

[thudding]

[laughter]

- Okay, that should be everyone.

- [gasps] Meow. Are you carrying a head?

- Unfortunately, I flew farther than my body.

Listen, we need a way to turn the shifter

into something not kraken.

If I recall my Headmistress handbook,

it says high-frequency sounds can revert shapeshifters

to their original form.

But what would make a high enough sound?

- I know--catacomb crawlers. Their buzz is super high.

- Splendid idea.

Bunny Earickson, you are going to make

a fine Monster High student one day.

Toralei, can you place a call?

My iCoffin is with my body.

[zapping]

all: Whoa! [iCoffin ringing]

- Toralei?

- You'll want to hear what Bunny has to say

about catacomb crawlers.

- They will help you. - She's right.

The catacomb crawlers' high-pitched buzzing

will interfere with the shapeshifter's ability

to maintain a borrowed shape.

- Clawsome. Thanks. [both grunting]

- Nothing can break synthetic golem force field.

- This is a synthetic golem force field?

Why didn't you say so?

Eye of newt, lupin sprout, open wide and let us out!

- Whew, you knowing that spell, a major stroke of good luck.

- But now that we're out, where can we get crawlers?

- The Hissfits summoned a lot of crawlers

with music a while ago.

It was a great concert. [iCoffin ringing]

- Hold on. Goobert?

- Hey, Clawdine.

I was helping set up for Catty's concert later,

and is this kraken supposed to be here?

[grunts]

- The shapeshifter is at Monster High.

We're going to need music to get those crawlers

and transform it back to its original shape.

Catty? - I have the purr-fect song.

[bubbling]

- There has to be something here to make me belong.

I should have taken Catty's hairbrush

when I had the chance!

[feedback whines]

- ? Ain't got time for no confusion ?

? I'ma start a revolution ?

? This is 'bout my evolution ?

? So just come along with me ?

? Yeah, it's lucky to be me ?

? 'Cause I got nothing to hide ?

? Letting it go ?

? Lovin' my highs, even the lows ?

? Embracing the flaws to let 'em show ?

? I'm a fright to see - ? She's a fright to see

- ? I'm knowin' my worth, standin' up tall ?

? Changin' my world once and for all ?

? And everyone agrees ?

? It feels good to be seen - ? It feels good to be seen ?

- ? Now here's your invitation ?

? To my transformation ?

? All these changes that I've made to be ?

? Just exactly who I wanna be ?

? I'm lucky - ? Lucky ?

- ? Lucky, lucky to be me - ? Lucky

- ? Tell 'em, Catty ?

- ? And there's no better feelin' bein' who I wanna be ?

[bugs buzzing] - No! No! That buzzing.

- Stop, I can't go back.

- [screaming]

- Ugh. - [gasps]

- No! Aah!

- ? Lucky to be me ?

[both gasp] - What?

- Whoa!

- It worked, I think.

Is this your original shape? - Yes, I'm a were-whale.

This is the real me.

- Now, that's fishy. - Actually, whales are mammals.

- [groans] Nothing's ever fishy.

- Were-whales can shapeshift?

- Yes, were-whales can shift into any shape if we have hamr,

like fur, hair, or scales to use as a guide.

Or at least I read all the were-whales can,

but I haven't ever met another were-whale.

The were-texts said we are solitary creatures.

- That sounds hard. Can you tell us your story?

- My name is Hemming.

I grew up swimming in the waters of the Nordic Seas.

When I turned 13, I got my were-powers,

and I started shifting.

I wanted to be someone else, someone who fit in.

But even when I found a form I liked,

I couldn't stay in it for long.

And when those I thought were my friends

found out I was shifting to be one of them,

they chased me away.

That's why I became Foxford--

so I could get into the were-library

with the secret texts.

But then I needed the orb to decode those secrets.

Why are weres so obsessed with secrecy?

- That's when you found the riddle--

"To stop forever shifting,

become one who belongs and cease drifting."

- But even in Bloodgood's form, I couldn't stop shifting.

Now, thanks to your bugs, I'm back to this form,

and I hate it. - Why?

Being a whale seems awesome.

- We've never seen a were-whale before.

- [scoffs] Yeah, I'm the only one I've ever seen, too.

That's why I don't like the sea.

It's so lonely.

But whales don't belong on land.

[sighs] I'm sorry. I know I did everything wrong.

I'll go back to the sea now.

- Wait. We're not letting you go like this.

What you did is not okay, but you're also not alone.

Your story is a lot like mine. - What? How?

You're like my opposite.

- I've never stolen anyone's identity--

that was really bad--

but I did used to feel like I didn't belong.

There was no one else like me where I grew up.

But then I found Monster High, and everything changed.

I got the moonclaw on my 15th birthday, and it led me here.

It gave me the power

to transform from human to werewolf whenever I wanted.

During the blood-moon eclipse,

the moonclaw fused with the human talisman

and became something new.

But even though I love it, its power is not mine to keep.

It's the talisman of all rare species, including were-whales.

My instincts tell me that this can help you

and let you stay in whatever form you want

for as long as you want.

- You'll give me that? Me?

- Yes, I don't need it anymore.

I know who I am and where I belong.

But if I give this to you, you have to promise

to stop taking other monsters' shapes

and to pass it on when you meet a rare creature

who needs it more.

- I want to take it, but I'm scared.

What if I still can't stop shifting?

- It's not the shifting that's the problem.

It's shifting into forms that don't belong to you.

But I'm all for you finding a form

that you're comfortable in and that's unique.

Here, try it.

Uh...

[uplifting music]

[all grunting]

? ?

- [laughs] I didn't know I could do that!

Totally unique, not like anyone I've met before--

just the me I want to be.

- Hello, Hemming.

I've been listening in, and I wanted to let you know,

as a teen monster,

you are welcome to enroll at Monster High.

All monsters belong here. - [blowing raspberry]

- Really? Oh, thank you.

Thank you!

- You're welcome.

But you will have to serve an ocean's worth

of community service and do some sessions with Dr. C.

- Well, we meant to do this at Furball Hall,

but it took some damage.

So here I am at Monster High

to announce the winner of the first election

of were-ruler of the alliance of were-species is...

Whiskerene! [barking]

[cheers and applause]

- How? - Hey, don't be so modest.

Everyone saw Lagoona's video,

Miss Whisker-hero of the Little Paws.

- Oh. [chuckles] Thank you. Thank you.

I would have never done any of that

if I hadn't met my new friends.

They showed me how great it feels to do things for someone

other than yourself.

- That's great, but those who need our help most

don't have time to wait for everyone

to have a heart-changing experience.

That's why you should use this position

to help the most vulnerable were-creatures,

those who may have been excluded by the way things

were before. - I will.

- There you have it.

The election is done, and there's a new were-ruler.

- Let's hear it

for the first peaceful transfer of power in were-history!

- ? 'Cause I got nothing to hide ?

? Lettin' it go ?

? Lovin' my highs, even the lows ?

? Embracin' the flaws ?

- Lagoona Blue, I've seen your election documentary.

It's good. - Thank you, Miss Kraken.

And I admire your reporting.

Perhaps we can do a collab one day.

- ? All these changes that I've made to be ?

? Just exactly who I wanna be ?

? I'm lucky, lucky - ? Lucky

- You did it, Clawdeen! You rocked the were-world.

- How does it feel to be the former were-ruler?

- Clawsome! Now I can do whatever I want.

Maybe I'll become a therapist or a teacher

or a were-historian.

Or I can focus on right now,

being 15 and dancing with my two best boos in the world.

[laughter]

- The shapeshifter didn't do any work while I was gone.

- ? To be me!

Ah! [grunts] I miss the Troll Dimension.
