Horrorman (ホラーマン) (Horror in the Tubi English dub) is the tertiary antagonist in the Anpanman anime. He usually lives with Baikinman as he loves Dokeen, however he doesn't always go along with their villainous ways.
Official Website Description[]
He may look scary, but he's actually easy to be taken advantage of. He tries to learn from many people, but things don't tend to go well. He also has a bone boomerang in his chest.
Appearance[]
Horrorman is a skeleton wearing a long, tattered purple shirt with a pair of crossed bones on the chest. He has protruding kneecaps and cheekbones, and a mouth that is always showing his teeth (much like Kama midshipman).
Personality[]
Horror man is very happy-go-lucky and clumsy. He enjoys being nice to others, however he doesn't seem to care about hurting their feelings either.
He enjoys scaring people, although that rarely happens when he wants it to due to his usual goofy nature. He usually manages to scare people by pure accident, but when he purposefully tries to scare someone, it ends in failure.
Relationships[]
Dokeen - He's obsessed with her, and is constantly running around picking flowers and finding food to suit her needs in vain attempts to impress her.
Abilities and Powers[]
The bones on his shirt can be taken off and thrown as boomerangs.
