[Jumanji] Is Van Pelt a persistent threat in Jumanji, or was he created specifically for Alan Parrish?

Van Pelt quite obviously resembles Alan's father, and he's clearly another creation of the game, much like the plants and animals - but is he a persistent feature of the game that's likely to come out due to a roll of the dice? 

If I were playing the game, would Van Pelt resemble my father, or would the game create a different human antagonist for me to face?

The rhyme that introduced him was:  
>A hunter from the darkest wild  
Makes you feel like a child.  
  
Van Pelt resembles Alan's father because that's who Alan feared the most as a child (and brings those feelings back).  
If you got along well with your father as a child Van Pelt would probably resemble someone you feared as a child, like a creepy uncle or a scary gym teacher.
