Monster School

The logo of the series.

Monster School was a popular series about a class of monsters that are going to their school to learn how to be a monster properly and be slightly more advanced with Herobrine as the teacher together with a witch named Hildegarde. Due to Willcraft having depression, and increasingly getting tired of doing Monster School content and just wanting to move on, the series was unfortunately cancelled in 2016.

Story

Each episode is a new lesson, and the monsters are usually given a task without any instructions. Therefore they are not technically educated by their teacher, they are just put in a situation that they solve themselves, more like a test. The series is a comedy, and the monsters are often doing something wrong or just something that can be considered funny.

Teachers

• Herobrine - The famous Minecraft creepypasta. He is the main teacher and possibly the principal, and he often uses his powers in class, mostly to teleport the students somewhere, revive dead students, etc.
• Hildegarde - A powerful witch that held the brewing lesson, invited the new students to the school and was in charge of the bus trip.

Workers

• Zombie Villagers - They are the workers/staff at the Monster School. They do everything from being janitors to cafeteria workers.

Students (In mob ID order)

• Creep [Creeper] - A quite lazy student that usually steals other students' work instead of actually doing things on his own. Although if he has to, he does.
• Skellington [Skeleton] - An awful archer, but a gifted cook. His life is pretty ironic because he doesn't eat and a skeleton's main weapon is bow.
• Witton - [Wither Skeleton] A stupid and clumsy wither skeleton who loves combat with swords which suits his wither skeleton personality. He also likes violent sports.
• Spider - [Spider] Skellington's best friend. He loves to use his spider abilities like climbing and shooting cobwebs whenever he gets the chance.
• Zombee - [Zombie] A zombie that wants to learn, but his lack of brain makes it a bit hard.
• Zupay - [Zombie Villager] A baby zombie villager whose mind is created of pure evil. He is the viewers least favorite student, and second most hated character by Willcraft after Lord Laskig. He is afraid of the Bus Driver, as shown in "Bus Trip".
• Mucus - [Slime] A slime that comes from France, skilled in the art of engineering and tries as hard as he can to pass Herobrine's classes, and on rare occasions when he does bad, he gets frustrated.
• Ghist - [Ghast] A lonely head-collecting ghast with an attraction to withers. She secretly has a crush on Multus since he is a wither, has three heads, and shoots wither skulls.
• Zombieswine - [Zombie Pigman] The bully of the class and Endie's archenemy. He hates Mucus for almost always getting good grades. He is quite stupid.
• Endie - [Enderman] A friendly, artistic, but sometimes lazy enderman. He loves building sculptures. He is friendly to everyone in the class except Zombieswine. He is the viewer's favorite student.
• Cavell - [Cave Spider] A cave spider that always denies help claiming that he does fine on his own. He also refuses the fact that he is small. He's bad at jumping, since he has fallen to his death multiple times when trying to leap over a gap. He also has a rivalry with Spider as shown in Acrobatics, although it may be a friendly one since they talked to each other in Meet The New Students.
• Silvester - [Silverfish] A cowardly silverfish who loves digging and exploring new areas.
• Blaise - [Blaze] An easily enraged blaze. She dislikes Creep, and ironically they often have to work together.
• Maggie - [Magma Cube] A magma cube that loves eating, yet despises the thought of being fat. Thanks to her appetite she can grow in size and splits into clones that help her with her lessons.
• Multus - [Wither Boss] A wither who has heads that have different personalities. The left head is pure evil and the right head is good, and the middle head mostly listens on one of them and likes scaring people.

Other characters

• Bus Driver - A demented bus driver who appears in the intro, in Scaring, and Bus Trip. He bears a resemblance to Lord Läskig, but with a different outfit and has facial expressions.

Episodes

• Monster School - Crafting - The first episode. The students learned how to craft things.
• Monster School - Cooking - The students got to learn how to cook things. At the end of the lesson, Creep nearly blows the classroom up. This episode served as Christmas video because its release date was close to Christmas and Willcraft didn't have enough time to make a more Christmas-ish video.
• Monster School - Stealing - The students learn how to sneak into a human's house and steal his things. Most of the students died because of traps, guards, or even team kills.
• Meet the Students - The names and personalities of the students were revealed.
• Monster School - Hiding - The students were sent to a forest where they weren't supposed to get spotted by any humans. This was the first time that Endie looked into a human's eyes and lost control of himself. Many people didn't understand how Ghist could get the best grade in this lesson, but it was because she hid behind a tree despite her bigger-than-tree size, and the human didn't even see her when walking around the tree.
• Monster School - Brewing - Hildegarde taught them how to make potions. There was a reference to the Gulliver Mod in this episode. Zombieswine managed to brew a potion that made him grow using a mushroom (from the inside of his ear, because Hildegarde turned his head into a mooshroom for not paying attention in class).
• Monster School - Combat - The students got to fight a human (that Herobrine kept reviving) in an arena. At the end of the episode, there is a short clip showing Hildegarde sending invitations to all the monster types not in the school.
• Monster School - Meet the New Students - Witton, Zupay, Cavell, Silvester, Blaise, Maggie and Multus were introduced. (Zupay never got/was not seen receiving an invitation, but still came with the others)
• Monster School - Mining - Not very necessary for monsters, but after many requests about a mining lesson it was made. This was the first lesson with the new students, and the first time a student was absent. (Silvester, who overslept)
• Monster School - Acrobatics - The students got to learn how to get past difficult obstacles. There was no grades shown in this episodes, causing many negative reactions. It turns out Willcraft just wanted to see how people would react since many often complains at the grades, but after too many complaints about the lack of grades he added them in an annotation.
• Monster School - Trick or Treat - It's Halloween! The students are out trick-or-treating in a village controlled by mobs. The whole point was to see how many of them can survive the students' tricks. Herobrine didn't appear in this video.
• Monster School - Merry Christmas! - Endie has been voted Monster Santa and is given the task to deliver presents for all monsters for Christmas! Meanwhile, Zupay is informed that he didn't become Santa and then he dressed up into a Scrooge outfit and gave horrible presents to the ones who didn't vote for him to murder them.
• Monster School - Combat 2 - The sequel to the Combat lesson. All the students learn how to fight, but this time, they fight against each other to see who's the best. Eventually the best fighters were Zupay and Endie, because they both got an A.
• Monster School - Scaring - The students had to scare a sleeping human - killing the human was a fail. The level of fear that felt the human was measured by a Scare-o-Meter. Zupay and Endie both got A's again.
• Monster School - Merry Christmas, I guess... - A half video/half vlog for Christmas of 2014 where several students are socializing together.
• Monster School - Bus Trip - The students leave the school and the Bus Driver takes them to different locations.

Trivia

Timeline

• Monster School became the well-known main series on Willcraft Animations' channel until it was cancelled. Originally, Endventures was going to be the main series on the channel.
• After cancelling the series in 2016, Willcraft said in July 2018 that he was considering bringing the series back in the form of a now unlisted video before he confirmed a month later in another unlisted video that he would not bring back the series.
• On November 23, 2023, Willcraft left a comment in a now deleted video from another user that explained that the entire series used the Swedish grading system which is why there is an E grade and that it was common for monsters to get E or D grades as they were considered good in the Swedish grading system. He also said that most places don't use an E grade and instead go by the ABCDF grading system.
  • On December 22, 2023, the video where he left the comment was deleted by YouTube for being too mature for their site and the comment can no longer be viewed.
• On December 6, 2023, the Hiding and Mining episodes along with Willcraft's quitting video were permanently deleted from Willcraft's channel by YouTube for being too mature for their site and Willcraft's appeal for the video deletions were turned down instantly. However, there are re-uploads of the episodes on other channels.

Series

• Many people have asked for the ender dragon as a student and Willcraft did announce he would add him in his 5000 Subscribers Special Video, but it wouldn't fit in the classroom and there's also only one ender dragon per world, so it must have been educated already.
  • Other fans have said that the ender dragon should instead be the principal of Monster School.
    • This is overall not needed, as Herobrine is already the principal.
• Monster School concept is the main reason to animation's popularity.
• The result of the popularity of Monster School lead to:
  1. 4 fan made episodes by FireFlame682176: Farming, Building, Trading, and Enchanting, composed of two parts.
  2. A fan made series, Minecraft Player School, by Shane which has 8 episodes: Farming, Crafting, Brewing, Fighting, Scaring, Parkour, redstone and students vs RexTheGamer. Ironically, both series had new students (with Shane's series getting a new classroom).
  3. Dozens of other creators making their own fanmade series of Monster School like CraftedThings, Stillcraft Animations, CCMegaproductions, and many others around Monster School's peak popularity.
  4. The Monster School series still having a large following albeit the series is nothing like it was originally with many youtubers mixing in other trendy topics into Monster School that have nothing to do with Minecraft. This led to many people not liking how Monster School is made now.
• All of videos relating to Monster School (Lessons and Meet The... episodes) with the exception of the Monster School intro had gotten at least 1 million views. The Monster School intro has less than 1 million views.
• Monster School's most popular student is Endie, evidenced by the fact that he won the voting for the Monster Santa on the Christmas episode.
• Monster School's most hated student is Zupay due to his personality. By contrast, however, he is Willcraft's favorite student.
