# Cursed Cat Alastor Cursed Cat Alastor is a fan-created character from the *Hazbin Hotel* fandom that reimagines the demon Alastor as a small, mischievous cat with red fur, sharp teeth, and black tufts on its ears and tail. Korean artist @coma_0423 designed the character in February 2024, posting a fan comic to X (Twitter) that quickly spread across the platform and inspired a wave of fan art on X, Tumblr, and TikTok within days[1]. ## Origin On February 25, 2024, Korean artist @coma_0423 posted a *Hazbin Hotel* fan comic to X in which Charlie tells her father Lucifer that they're going to raise a cat that looks like Alastor[1]. The comic showed the cat version of Alastor in a series of everyday situations, playing up the contrast between Alastor's menacing personality and a small cat's antics. The original Korean-language post picked up over 3,900 likes within its first week[1]. Later that same day, the artist shared a translated English version of the comic to reach a wider audience. - **Platform:** X (Twitter) - **Creator:** @coma_0423 (artist, original character designer) - **Date:** 2024 ## Overview Cursed Cat Alastor takes the imposing Radio Demon from Vivienne Medrano's *Hazbin Hotel* and shrinks him down into a scrappy, feral-looking cat. The design keeps Alastor's signature color scheme (red fur, sharp grin) while adding animal features like black-tipped ear tufts and a fluffy tail. The "cursed" label comes from the character's slightly unhinged appearance, a common aesthetic in internet fan art where beloved characters get redrawn in deliberately off-kilter or chaotic styles[1]. The character typically appears in short comic strips or standalone illustrations showing it causing trouble, being reluctantly adopted, or interacting with other *Hazbin Hotel* characters in domestic settings. ## How It Spread @coma_0423 kept posting new Cursed Cat Alastor artwork over the following days, with multiple posts breaking 1,000 likes each[1]. The character caught on fast with other fan artists. On March 4, 2024, X user @montysdrawz posted a fan art sheet depicting the cat in various poses, pulling in over 6,200 likes in a single day[1]. The next day, @NanaNaexii's fan art of the character hit over 8,300 likes in under 24 hours[1]. Fan-made videos featuring the character also started appearing on TikTok around the same time[1]. On March 5, Tumblr user lucdoodle posted a series of Cursed Cat Alastor illustrations that picked up more than 1,200 notes in less than a day[1]. The speed of the cross-platform spread, from X to Tumblr to TikTok within roughly a week, showed how quickly *Hazbin Hotel* fandom communities could rally around a new fan creation. ## How to Use Cursed Cat Alastor is typically used in fan art and short comics rather than as a reaction image or template. Common approaches include: - Drawing the cat version of Alastor in domestic scenes (eating, sleeping, knocking things off tables) while retaining his sinister grin - Creating comic strips where other *Hazbin Hotel* characters interact with or try to manage the cat - Mixing "cute cat" energy with Alastor's canonical menace for comedic contrast - Adding the character's distinctive red fur, sharp teeth, and black ear tufts to any cat illustration for a quick reference The format works best when it leans into the gap between a tiny house cat and a powerful demon overlord. ## Fun Facts - The original comic was posted in Korean before @coma_0423 translated it to English the same day, giving it immediate access to the global *Hazbin Hotel* fandom[1]. - The character's rapid adoption by other artists, with major fan art pieces dropping within a week of the original post, mirrors how *Hazbin Hotel* fandom tends to latch onto fan-created designs almost as quickly as official ones. - The "cursed" descriptor follows a broader internet convention where fan art that's slightly unsettling or chaotic gets labeled "cursed" as a badge of honor rather than criticism. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Cursed Cat Alastor?
