, alternatively titled Welcome to Monster High: The Origin Story, is the first TV special to take place in Generation 2 of Monster High. It was produced by Flaunt Productions and Mattel Creations.
As a group of strange monsters heads toward a spooky-looking school on a hill, Draculaura narrates that monsters going to school is just as normal for them as anyone else. But how did a school for monsters come about? Draculaura takes us back to the beginning when Monster High was just her father's mansion...
Draculaura is listening to her favorite popstar Tash in her room when her father summons her to the mansion's roof to teach her how to transform into a bat and fly. After a few failed attempts, Draculaura gets the hang of it, and the two take a flight over the nearby town. Draculaura spots a billboard for Tash's upcoming concert and asks her father if she can go; Dracula tells her no, explaining that it's too dangerous for her to be among humans. Draculaura complains that she never gets to leave her home and experience the outside world and flies off in a sulk, passing by an old power station. As she passes, a figure watches her from a window...
Draculaura returns and records a video to her blog (which has no followers) about how she wants to have friends when someone knocks on the front door for the first time in years. She opens the door to meet the daughter of Frankenstein's creature, Frankie Stein, who saw her passing by the old power station. Draculaura offers to let her stay at the mansion, and though Dracula is reluctant, she and Frankie convince him with their best cute expressions.
They spend the night chatting about their lives, and both agree that they want to have normal lives like the humans do and wish they could have more friends and go to school like ordinary people. They hit on the idea of opening a school for monsters and decide to find more monsters to help with their plan.
After searching around the town, they search the nearby moors and come across a pack of wolf puppies... and a very angry wolf. They see the wolf wears a necklace and realize it must be a werewolf. Inviting her to join their school, the wolf transforms into Clawdeen Wolf and asks if her mother and brothers can join them. After some convincing, Dracula lets the Wolf family move in and soon comes to enjoy their presence.
Now onboard with Draculaura's plan, the group works together to convert the mansion into a school. But they still need students. Frankie teaches Draculaura how to put her blog on the secret Monster Internet, and soon it has thousands of followers and several monsters requesting to join Monster High. To bring them to the school, Dracula gives the ghouls a Monster Mapalogue, a magical amulet that can teleport them to any monster in the world, provided they know their name. They decide to use it to find the first name on their list and teleport to a pyramid in Egypt, where they meet the glamourous mummy Cleo de Nile. Then, they head to Australia to meet the sporty sea creature Lagoona Blue. The five of them then travel around the world and pick up various monsters, including Deuce Gorgon, Venus McFlytrap, a shy woolly creature named Woolee, and a greedy slime creature named Gob. Other monsters arrive from afar, and soon Monster High is full of new students, attending classes taught by Dracula and Clawdeen's mother.
