Other Mother

"I'm your Other Mother!" - The Beldam

The Beldam is the main antagonist of Coraline. She is a hideous skeleton/arachnid creature that lures unhappy children away from their real world into a parallel world similar to theirs except much better. The Beldam calling herself Other Mother in appearance looks almost identical to the children's real Mother except she has buttons for eyes. The Beldam pretends to love and care for the children and creates beautiful things she knows they'll love but she truly only does all these things to lure them into her world so she can consume them for strength and keep their souls as her prisoners. She creates beautiful things that strongly contrast with the boring things in the real world. The last child she lured into her world was a girl named Coraline, but after Coraline learned the truth, she managed to defeat the Beldam, escape from her world and set her parents and the souls of the children she killed free.
