Overview
Gillington "Gil" Webber is a river monster student at Monster High from a traditional family that disapproves of his relationship with sea monster Lagoona Blue.
Gillington "Gil" Webber is a 2010-introduced and all-around character. He is a river monster and a student at Monster High. Gil comes from a traditional household in which women are expected to take care of the men in their life. Gil does not necessarily share this belief, but lacks the means and motivation to openly disagree. The cost of this usually is for his girlfriend, Lagoona Blue, who not only is not the kind to pamper anyone, but also a sea monster, a species river monsters look down on. Gil is slowly unlearning his parents' prejudices thanks to Lagoona's efforts. While he is kind and cares deeply for his girlfriend, Gil has a cowardly streak and is often too scared to properly stand up for himself and his relationship, which puts strain on him and Lagoona. In extremely high-stakes situations, however, Gil can generally be counted on to intervene.

Character
Gil is laid-back, sensitive, and considerate, with water-based abilities and a distinctive appearance featuring scales and a water helmet.
Gil is laid-back and sensitive. Out of all of the jocks, Gil seems to be the most considerate, as seen when he tried to help Frankie Stein hook up Slo Mo and Ghoulia Yelps. He also avoided his love interest Lagoona Blue out of fear of hurting her feelings. It is shown in "Escape from Skull Shores", that when he is scared, he lowers his head into his tank. He is frightened easily but due to his good nature, has the capacity to be stronger than he may first appear.
Gil has light blue skin (or scales) and spiky fins protruding from his neck, forearms, and legs. He has one big fin on the top of his head styled like a mohawk and flips over to one side. He has pale yellow eyes. He wears black sandals, gray jeans, a purple shirt, and a Monster High uniform jacket with a wave-like design at the ends of the sleeves. He also wears a scuba helmet filled with water; that way, he can breathe on land.
- Swimming: Just like any other water monster, fresh or salt, Gil has the great ability to swim at top swift speeds, even tying with his girlfriend Lagoona Blue in "Fear Pressure" in a swimming race.
- Skating: He is a valued member of Monster High's SKRM team.
