Dead Star Walking: Michael Cera is given second billing in the casting credits, giving the impression that he voices one of the main characters of the film. Matthew, his character, is introduced in the opening of the film, but gets killed before the prologue ends. | |

Baku | |
| Cryptozoo / int_e5405d4e | comment |
Baku: It serves as the central cryptid in the film who the main characters are searching for. It ate the bad dreams of Lauren when she was young and would do the same to Nicholas’ dreams of using cryptids as weapons of war towards the end. | |
