During the annual Gloom Beach fearleading competition, Smogsnorts was Monster High's main competitor. According to Cleo in "Don't Cheer the Reaper", Smogsnorts' team had been the winner of the competition for the last four years. Seeing that Smogsnorts was keeping up a Spartan training regime, whereas Monster High was forced by Scary Murphy to do all kinds of chores, like preparing meals for the other teams, in "Witch Trials", Cleo and Ghoulia teamed their creativity and brilliance to compose a routine that would win Monster High the competition. However, Toralei Stripe stole the instructions and handed them to the Smogsnorts team, who eagerly copied the routine.
