Biography[]

Hotel Transylvania[]

Quasimodo has a few brief appearances throughout the first quarter of the movie. He was first seen with Dracula, who is about to hide a human, Jonathan Loughran. Dracula claimed that there were no humans around. He complained to Quasimodo that he needed spleens in blankets instead of the dish that was already made (which was Deviled Lizard Fingers). Quasimodo also frequently acted mean against his sidekick, but treated Esmeralda, his pet rat, nicely. The same thing happens when everyone was near the pool.

Quasimodo's main scene in the movie is when he kidnapped Jonathan while knowing he was a human the whole time, after Dracula and Jonathan experienced real fun by jumping through floating tables. He was pursued by several knights, only to give them the slip and headed to the kitchen. He tried to rotisserie him, but was interrupted by Dracula. He dared Jonathan to scare Esmeralda to prove he wasn't human, which failed and proved otherwise. Dracula had Quasimodo paralyzed by magic. After the duo left, his sidekick had revenge by jabbing his finger into his nose.

At Mavis' party (which kick-starts of the film's climax), Quasimodo and Esmeralda crashed in to expose Jonathan in front of everybody. He couldn't speak perfectly due to being paralyzed, but The Fly knew how to speak frozen and translated for everyone. This causes everyone to panic and ruined everything. During the last scene, he was still stuck and had werewolf puppies playing with his frozen body.

  • Strangely in the original Victor Hugo novel, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, Quasimodo is not a monster, rather a deformed human.
  • Despite his apparance, Quasimodo Wilson is not a human; he exhibited speed, agility ,and strength far beyond those of humans, as well as extremely keen sense of smell.
  • Despite being the film's main antagonist, Quasimodo has a few brief minutes of screen time, but does play a big role at the end of the first act, although the second act features the search for Johnny. This makes Quasimodo a supporting character.
  • Throughout the film he incorrectly pronounces the name of his pet rat Esmeralda; "Esmerelda". 
  • Quasimodo is shown to be highly abusive to the gargoyles, even seeming to consider them stupid; he beats one of them whenever Dracula comments on the food. One later takes advantage of his frozen state.
  • Quasimodo and his pet rat Esmeralda are not mentioned or seen in the entire second or the third film of Hotel Transylvanian but returns reformed in the Hotel Transylvania 2 The Game
  • Quasimodo is similar to Chef Skinner from Ratatouille: Both are evil chefs, have French accents and despise heroes, as Chef Skinner despises Remy and Quasimodo despises Jonathan and they both capture the heroes and try to kill them. We know that Chef Skinner is the main antagonist of his film: Ratatouille and that Quasimodo is the main antagonist of his film: Hotel Transylvania.
  • Quasimodo is also similar to Jafar from the Aladdin series: Both start out as servants to the heroes (Quasimodo to Dracula, Jafar to the Sultan) until their betrayal, both have pets who assist them in their evil plans (Esmeralda to Quasimodo, Iago to Jafar) and both have a hatred of the hero and try to kill and later on expose them (Jonathan to Quasimodo, Aladdin to Jafar).
  • It is unknown what happens to him after the event of the first film, but it is possible that Dracula fired him and replaced him with another chef.
  • He is the only villain so far, driven by passion, rather than malice.
