Beetlejuice's appearance is consistent with what a corpse generally looks like: his skin is decayed with a pale chalky coloring and has patches of mold, his eyes are surrounded by thick black rings of decay, and his teeth and fingernails are severely decreased and discolored. Beetlejuice's hair is a slimy green color that sticks out at all ends. His outfit consists of matching black and white striped pants, black shoes and a blazer, with a white undershirt and black necktie. Beetlejuice relies on zany, slapstick humor and endless reality-warping tricks rather than actual malice, and instead of an aggressive con artist, he acts as a playful troublemaker whose chaos is mostly harmless or aimed at annoying pompous townspeople like Claire Brewster. He shares a tight, protective bond with 12-year-old Lydia Deetz, often acting as her partner-in-crime while she serves as his grounding moral compass. He also craves excitement, applause, and gross-out gags, eating disgusting bugs and constantly inventing wild schemes in the Netherworld. - He has ablutophobia, the irrational fear of being clean and bathing. He is also famously scared of sandstorms which can swallow a ghost permanently and swallow him whole. - Beetlejuice, being bound by a curse, cannot say his own name, or the other variant of the name (Betelgeuse). If he does, this trips the magic that traps and/or banishes him. - Beetlejuice is a skilled multilingual, being able to speak his native language (Italian), English and Spanish. - His favorite comedy is The Exorcist, having seen it 167 times. - Beetlejuice died by his own hands via rope.
