― Ross, telling Roy to stop bullying Skid and Pump.
Ross is a major recurring character in the Spooky Month series, debuting in Spooky Month 2 - The Stars.
He is a member of the Hatzgang, who frequently have encounters with Skid and Pump. Ross is the most laid-back and chill member of the group who, alongside Robert, tries to keep Roy and his negative traits in-check.
Biography
Spooky Month 2 - The Stars
Roy first appears alongside the rest of the Hatzgang, stopping Skid and Pump on the sidewalk outside of Mr. Wonder's house. After Roy calls the two "losers," Ross spits on them and stomps on their feet alongside Robert. Once Skid and Pump say that it is 'spooky month,' he and Robert get excited and begin to do the Spooky Dance behind Roy. After Skid and Pump run off to the mansion on the hill, Roy remarks that "that's where [his] uncle takes [him]," which causes Ross to take an uncomfortable step to the side.
Not long after, Ross is seen with Robert talking to Roy about how immoral his uncle is, something that Roy doesn't seem to understand. The trio are interrupted by Skid and Pump, who are riding atop the Eyes of the Universe. After the Hatzgang all turn to look at it, they are hypnotized, which Skid and Pump misinterpret as them "having fun." Skid, Pump, and the Eyes then leave to get candy.
Spooky Month 3 - Unwanted Guest
Ross appears outside of Eden Hospital alongside the other Hatzgang members, where he begins shivering upon seeing Skid and Pump. After Roy yells at the duo for a second, he turns around to see why he and Robert are shaking. Ross and Robert remined him about what happened last time they tormented Skid and Pump, which causes Roy to freeze for a moment. Once Roy begins to yell at them again, Ross attempts to calm him down by assuring him that everything is okay, which just makes him angrier.
Presumably, Ross did not partake in the beating of Skid and Pump afterwards.
Spooky Month 4 - Deadly Smiles
Ross is seen alongside the other Hatzgang members in the middle of the episode, where they are in the process of leaving CandyClub after getting sweets. After Kevin notices that Roy had stuffed some candy into his sweatshirt, he yells at the Hatzgang. Roy tells Ross and Robert to run, and they escape.
A few minutes later, Ross and the others are chilling in the back alley of CandyClub, where they find a Happy Fella doll walking up to and laughing at a cat. The Hatzgang briefly question why it is alive, but Skid and Pump walk up to them and ask for the doll back, explaining that they had lost it earlier. Roy immediately begins to taunt them with it, but Ross tells him to "just give it back." After Roy tells Skid and Pump to "give [him] their clothes" in exchange for the doll, Ross begins to yell at him alongside Robert and the Happy Fella, which causes Roy to clarify that he's talking about their winter sweaters. The Hatzgang is not seen again for the rest of the episode.
Spooky Month 5 - Tender Treats
Ross is seen in the middle of the episode, explaining to Roy that trick-or-treating would be much easier if he had just brought a costume. Robert suggests Roy get a costume where they currently are, which causes him to steal some costume pieces from a couple of trick-or-treaters who were walking past at that moment. Ross is confused as to what Roy is, and he declares himself a "rapper."
Skid and Pump then walk past the Hatzgang, carrying a giant box of sweets they got from CandyClub. Roy stops them with the intention of stealing it, but Ross pulls him away and explains that he didn't bring a costume, and should just leave them alone. After Robert nicely asks for permission to take some candy for his little sister, Ross and Roy then take some from the box, and Skid and Pump leave.
The Hatzgang prepare to leave to find more candy, but are ambushed by Bob Velseb, who was following Skid and Pump. He threatens them with a knife, and the three offer their newly-acquired candy as peace offerings, which he takes and walks away with. Robert gets angry at losing all the candy, but Ross comforts him and says they can get more. Before they can leave, Roy's parents pull up in a limousine and begin to chew out their son, which Ross watches in silence. Once inside the limo, Roy throws Ross and Robert the bag of candy his parents had gotten from CandyClub earlier, and Ross gives him a thumbs up as he is driven away.
Spooky Month 6 - Hollow Sorrows
Ross is first seen during a montage where Skid and Pump are goofing around. He, alongside Robert, is talking with Roy about something serious when Skid and Pump run up and poke Roy on the cheek, and telling him he is "it" like a game of tag. Roy gets infuriated and lunges at them, but Ross and Robert restrain him before he can do any damage, which causes Skid and Pump to leave.
He is seen with the other Hatzgang members again in the middle of the episode. After Father Gregor tells Skid and Pump that they should be nice to everyone, regardless of how they are treated, the duo see the Hatzgang and run over to them so they can apologize for earlier. The two of them again interrupt Roy while he is being sincere, which again angers him, but Ross and Robert restrain him again. After Skid and Pump apologize, Ross and Robert tell them that they hadn't done anything wrong, but Roy disagrees with them. Skid tells him that it's okay, and they appreciate him regardless, which causes Ross and Robert to question what he had done to them since they never act that way. In retaliation, Roy goes to beat them up before he can be stopped, although Ross tries to tell him not to. Roy asks if Ross and Robert are happy now, which causes them to yell at him. When Skid and Pump leave, Ross punches Roy on the arm.
Ross makes a final appearance during the ending montage of Moloch rampaging through the town, where the demon possesses Roy. Father Gregor quickly exorcizes him, and then runs off with Skid and Pump to continue pursuing him. Ross places a hand on Roy's shoulder, and watches them all run off.
Profile
Appearance
Casual
Ross is an average height boy, ranging from 14-16 years old, with a round face. He has long black hair that goes down to his shoulders, which juts outward with two spikes on both sides of his head. He wears a dark grey beanie, which is drawn as covering the top half of his eyes, and his mouth is usually drawn with a V-like shape. Ross' default outfit consists of a long-sleeved button-up blue t-shirt with a slightly lighter collar, and a pair of dark blue pants with black shoes.
Winter
Ross' winter outfit is basically the same as his normal one, but with a dark grey sweater pulled over his normal clothes.
Halloween
In Spooky Month 5, Ross is dressed as Jack the Ripper. The outfit consists of a dark grey top hat with a black stripe, and a dark grey coat with a large collar. Underneath the coat he wears a dark blue turtleneck, alongside black pants and shoes.
Personality
Of the Hatzgang members, Ross is defined by his relaxed nature. He is very calm and laid-back, and doesn't seem to talk much unless he is directly spoken to. He is introverted, seems to enjoy being out of the spotlight, evidenced by his dark clothing and that he almost always keeps his hands in his pockets. Ross doesn't seem to show strong emotions very often, only being scared when faced with the Eyes of the Universe and Bob Velseb (an eldritch horror and serial killer, respectively), and being angered when called a plebeian by Carmen or whenever Roy harasses Skid and Pump. He was most angry when Roy told Skid and Pump to "give [him] their clothes," and tried to explain to Roy that what his uncle was doing to him was wrong, showing that he has a limit to what actions someone can take before he gives up one them.
While Ross did used to bully Skid and Pump, as seen in Spooky Month 2, he has long since outgrown that habit and has good relations with them. He constantly tries to get Roy to leave them alone, holding him back or pulling him away whenever possible. In Spooky Month 4, he tries to get Roy to give them their Happy Fella back when they ask, and in Spooky Month 6 he punches Roy on the arm after he needlessly beats them up. Still, he deeply cares for Roy and is frequently seen trying to comfort him whenever possible, and often reassures him that everything will be fine and that he is always there for him.
Trivia
- In an early piece of concept art, Ross was supposed to wear sunglasses.[1]
- According to a now-deleted Tweet, Ross is possibly 15.[2]
- In Halloween art drawn by Sr Pelo, Ross dressed up as Frankenstein's monster.[3]
- Strangely, despite staring at the Eyes of the Universe, Ross' eyes don't glow while in the presence of something demonic. This can be seen in Spooky Month 6, when Moloch runs up the Hatzgang and possesses Roy.
- Whether this is meant to be important or is just an oversight is unknown.
- Various Tweets made by Ross' voice actor have revealed some questionably-canon tidbits.
