Unlike The One Hiding Under Your Bed, The Stairs Monster makes more than one appearance in the movie. He has banded kraits as his fingers, four on each hand, and a single spider on his head. He has a small forked tongue, tiny teeth, and the area around his mouth is colored pink.

Like most the creature appears in the episode "A Bali Mynas Battle", where he appears all over again. Then, the creature was with the crowd sad after Jack was shot down. After that, the creature takes a nap when Jack battles Oogie Boogie and later wakes up after Jack comes back.

He makes an appearance in the sequel comic book, Zero's Journey. Jack chooses him to assist on their trip to Christmas Town and rescue Zero along with Sally, Igor, and the Winged Demon. He remarks that he "looks strong", and the monster is delighted with the compliment. However, he proves to be difficult getting through the Christmas Door, as Jack and Sally wonder if he will fit. After some effort, he successfully gets through the door.

As the group walks through a snowstorm, Igor lights his lighter to see ahead of them, conveniently as the Monster Hiding Under the Stairs sneezes, sending a huge flame into the air. Sally uses this to their advantage to get through the storm, asking the monster to continue coughing so they can melt the snow and clear the way.
