Mr. Waternoose

How Mr. Waternoose joined the Tourney
In the first film, Mr. Waternoose is the CEO of Monsters, Inc. He is one of three owners, all cast down from lineage. He inherited the factory from his father when he was 142 years old, and turned it into the modern energy factory that appears at the beginning at the movie. He is first shown at the very beginning of the film, warning Thaddeus Bile and the trainees about the dangers of a human child after Thaddeus has unsuccessfully attempted to frighten a simulation child in bed.

Character Select Screen Animation
Waternoose walks on his crab legs to the camera then fixes his tie saying "I need to scare someone for a while.".

Cigarette Smoke (Neutral)
Waternoose blows cigarette smoke at his opponent. When it hits, it not only poisons the health, but also blinds the opponent for a few seconds.

Pincer Hug (Side)
Waternoose reaches his hands as if wanting to hug someone. If its an opponent, he will claw into the opponent's back while squeezing hard enough.

Lobster Slam (Up)
Waternoose jumps into the air then lands hard enough with his crab legs to create an earthquake around him. The opponent will trip if in range.

Monster Roar (Down)
Waternoose roars like much of his company's monsters letting out soundwave that will hurt his opponent's ears if near him/her.

CDA (Hyper Smash)
Waternoose calls in the CDA with "23/19, get our intruder at once!" then three CDA men arrive to assist Waternoose for a few seconds. They use the fighting styles of random King of Fighters characters. They then leave when the set time is up.

Crab Food (Final Smash)
Waternoose runs forward all mad. If he reaches an opponent, he knocks the opponent down then says "I won't let the energy crisis get any worse!" then stomps on the opponent with his legs. After 17 stomps, he kicks the opponent away with his frontal legs. Waternoose then says "Fear is power!"
