This is a list of Scooby-Doo characters. Scooby-Doo is an American animated franchise based around several animated television series and animated films, as well as live action movies. There are five main characters in the franchise: Scooby-Doo, Norville "Shaggy" Rogers, Fred Jones, Velma Dinkley, and Daphne Isabella Blake—known as "Mystery Incorporated". The original series, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?, premiered in 1969, and has spawned off many follow-up series, and several direct-to-DVD movies.
Mystery Incorporated[]
Scooby-Doo[]
- Main article: Scooby-Doo
Scooby-Doo is the eponymous character in the Scooby-Doo animated television series created by the popular American animation company Hanna-Barbera. Scooby-Doo is the pet and lifelong companion of Shaggy Rogers and in many iterations, including the original series, is regarded as a unique anthropomorphic Great Dane dog who is able to speak in broken English, unlike most other dogs in his reality, and usually puts the letter R in front of words spoken. Other incarnations, such as A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, present talking dogs like Scooby as quite common.
The head of children's programming at CBS, Fred Silverman, came up with the character's name from the syllables "doo-be-doo-be-doo" in Frank Sinatra's hit song "Strangers in the Night".
From 1969 to 1994, Scooby was voiced by Don Messick. In the 1997 episode of Johnny Bravo, Scooby was voiced by Hadley Kay. From 1998 to 2001, he was voiced by Scott Innes, who also voiced the character in video game projects (including PC, DVD and board games), commercials and some toys until 2008. In Scooby-Doo and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, Scooby was voiced by Neil Fanning. Scooby is currently (2002–present) voiced by Frank Welker (the voice of Fred Jones).
Shaggy Rogers[]
- Main article: Shaggy Rogers
Norville "Shaggy" Rogers is a fictional character from the American animated television series Scooby-Doo, about the adventures of four crime-solving teenagers and Shaggy's pet great dane, Scooby-Doo. Shaggy is a cowardly slacker more interested in eating than solving mysteries. He is the only Scooby-Doo character (besides Scooby) to appear in all iterations of the franchise.
From 1969 to 1997, Shaggy was voiced by Casey Kasem; he would return to voice him again from 2002 to 2009. In Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island, Shaggy was voiced by Billy West. From 1999 to 2001, he was voiced by Scott Innes, who also voiced Shaggy in video game projects (including PC, DVD and board games), commercials and some toys until 2009. In Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get a Clue!, Shaggy was voiced by Scott Menville. Shaggy is currently (2010–present) being voiced by Matthew Lillard, who played Shaggy in the live-action theatrical films. He was portrayed by Nick Palatas in the Cartoon Network prequel films, Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins (2009) and Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster (2010). Will Forte voices Shaggy as an adult with Iain Armitage voicing his younger self in the theatrical animated film Scoob!.
Fred Jones[]
- Main article: Fred Jones
Sometimes called "Freddie", he wears a blue and/or white shirt (which is sometimes worn under a white shirt, sweater, or jacket) and blue jeans. In the original depictions, Fred wears a 16 1/2 size orange ascot. In the 1990s direct-to-video movies and in the 2000s series What's New, Scooby-Doo?, Fred's outfit was given an update, with the removal of his orange ascot and two blue stripes added to his sleeves. He is often shown constructing various Rube Goldberg traps for villains, which Scooby-Doo and/or Shaggy would often set off by mistake, causing the villain to be captured another way. Fred usually takes the lead in solving mysteries. When searching for clues, Fred and Daphne usually go together with Velma coming along, but sometimes Fred and Daphne would pair off, having Velma go with Shaggy and Scooby.
In A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, Fred was depicted as being somewhat less intelligent, believing in legends such as Bigfoot and mole people, and liked reading a magazine called The National Exaggerator. In each episode, Fred would (usually wrongly) blame the crime on the neighbourhood bully Red Herring (a play on the idiom red herring). In his teenage version, he is shown to have many interests (obsessions for traps, martial arts, wrestling, and weight lifting). He is shown to be hopeless at speaking any language other than English. In an episode of What's New, Scooby-Doo?, Fred is learning to speak French - badly - and Daphne suggests he just sticks to saying "oui oui", to which he replies, "I already did that before we left the hotel". He is typically shown to be oblivious to Daphne's romantic interests, while at the same time falling for other girls.
In the episode "The Song of Mystery" from Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, he is called Fredrick by his tutor Mary-Ann Geerdon. However, in Scooby-Doo! Adventures: The Mystery Map he is called Fredward.
Fred is voiced by Frank Welker, who has retained this role throughout every incarnation of each series where Fred is portrayed as a teenager from 1969 to 1983 and again since 1997. In A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, (where he is portrayed as a child) he was voiced by a former child actor Carl Steven.
He was portrayed by Freddie Prinze Jr. in the 2002-2004 live-action films and by Robbie Amell in the Cartoon Network prequel films, Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins and Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster.
Zac Efron voices Fred as an adult while Pierce Gagnon voices his younger self in the theatrical animated film Scoob!.
Daphne Blake[]
- Main article: Daphne Blake
Together with her other teenage companions, Fred Jones, Shaggy Rogers, Velma Dinkley, and Shaggy's pet great dane Scooby-Doo, Daphne would engage in solving various mysteries. Daphne was portrayed as enthusiastic, but clumsy and danger-prone, hence her nickname "Danger-Prone Daphne" (revealed by her cousin, Shannon, being danger-prone is a Blake family trait in Scooby-Doo! and the Loch Ness Monster), member of the gang, who always follows her intuition. She serves as the damsel in distress and would occasionally get kidnapped, tied up, and left imprisoned. Scooby and Shaggy usually save her, but sometimes Fred and Velma or even the whole gang do it. But as the franchise went on, she became a stronger, more independent character, who can take care of herself. Daphne's character is the most developed in the starring cast, going from a klutzy teenager to a successful journalist to an ingenuous fashionista to a black belt martial artist. Daphne is also seen as the moral support in adaptations such as Mystery Incorporated. When Scooby is nowhere to be found, Daphne also shouts "Scooby-Doo! Where are you?!". She occasionally helps the rest of the gang capture the villain by using some random, yet helpful, accessories she has at the moment. For example, in one episode, the gang is tied to posts by ropes, so Daphne pulls out her credit card and slices the ropes in half, leaving her free to untie the other members of the gang.
During the series' fourth incarnation, Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo, some of the episodes focused on Daphne. In the episode "Shiver and Shake, That Demon's a Snake", Daphne buys an idol that is cursed by the snake demon. On the sailboat, the snake demon attacks Daphne and demands an idol to return. Daphne throws it to Scooby, Shaggy and Scrappy. In the episode "The Scary Sky Skeleton", Daphne is reunited with her old friend, Wendy. In the episode "I Left My Neck in San Francisco", Daphne becomes sick and she's unable to help the gang to solve the mystery about the Lady Vampiress of the Bay. Due to the vampire's look, Daphne's unseen reflection in the mirror, the bat flying around Daphne's bed and herself returning to bed a little later, Scooby, Shaggy and Scrappy are convinced that Daphne is a vampiress. When the vampiress is revealed to be Lefty Callahan, Scooby, Shaggy and Scrappy realize they made a mistake with suspecting Daphne and she's feeling well again.
Her usual appearance consists of a purple dress, pink pantyhose, purple shoes, and a green scarf. In Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase, she wore a purple and green three-piece suit with matching shoes. As a child, she wore a pink sweater, red skirt, and pink pantyhose with white go-go boots. In The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo, she wore some other purple clothes with purple pants and purple high heels.
While not as clever as Velma, Daphne would always solve her problems in a different way. The character later became more confident and started playing a more active role as time went on, a result of changing attitudes towards women during the 1970s and 1980s. In What's New, Scooby-Doo?, Daphne has also been known to open locks or do other tasks.
In the movie Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island, Daphne as a young adult, had a very successful investigative TV series called Coast to Coast with Daphne Blake on a fictional channel called "Americana", which the show had aired on for two seasons. The producer of the show was Fred Jones, with who she began a relationship with within the film's ending.
Throughout the various incarnations of the character, there has been speculation that Daphne and Fred had an attraction toward each other. This is emphasized in Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated. Throughout the first season, they are shown to be actively dating with Daphne showing more of her feelings toward Fred.
Daphne was voiced by Stefanianna Christopherson from 1969 to 1970. She was replaced by Heather North who would voice Daphne until 1997 and again for the two direct-to-DVD movies, Scooby-Doo! and the Legend of the Vampire and Scooby-Doo! and the Monster of Mexico. Daphne was voiced by Mary Kay Bergman from 1998 to 2000. Daphne has been voiced by Grey DeLisle since 2001. In A Pup Named Scooby-Doo Daphne was voiced by Kellie Martin. She was portrayed by Sarah Michelle Gellar in the 2002-2004 live-action films and by Kate Melton in the 2009-2010 live-action telefilms.
Amanda Seyfried voices Daphne as an adult with Mckenna Grace as her younger self in the theatrical animated film Scoob!.
Velma Dinkley[]
- Main article: Velma Dinkley
Throughout her various incarnations, Velma is usually portrayed as a highly intelligent young woman with various interests ranging from highly specified sciences (which in the "Scooby and Scrappy-Doo" series leads her to pursue a career as a NASA research scientist) or merely being very well read on various and sometimes obscure information, such as ancient Viking writing (as in the third Scooby-Doo series "The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries"). In Scooby-Doo! Abracadabra-Doo, Velma is described by her younger sister Madelyn as being "born with a mystery book in her hand". Consequently, Velma is usually the one to figure out the mystery, sometimes with the help of Fred and Daphne.
In the first series, notably Where Are You! and New Movies, a running gag is Velma's severe near-sightedness and her trouble with keeping her glasses on her face (usually after falling off while being chased by the villain).
When Scooby is too afraid to volunteer to help with a mission, Velma often offers him a dog treat called a "Scooby Snack" as a bribe. Her catchphrases are: "Jinkies!" and "My glasses! I can't see without my glasses!"
Like all of the Scooby-Doo gang, later ret-conned as Mystery Incorporated members, Velma has differing personal backgrounds and histories depending on which series one is referring to.
In the original Where Are You! series, Velma attended the same high school as the rest of the gang (as stated in the episode "A Knight for a Night"). However, in the second series, The New Scooby-Doo Movies, Velma is said to have graduated from a different high school than her friends (as stated in the episode "Spirited Spooked Sports Show"). In the current series, Velma is stated to be a native of Ohio, unlike the other members of the gang. But on one occasion, she mentioned she's from Texas.
Velma was voiced by Nicole Jaffe from 1969 to 1973, who would voice the character again in the two direct-to-DVD movies, Scooby-Doo! and the Legend of the Vampire and Scooby-Doo! and the Monster of Mexico. Jaffe was later replaced by Pat Stevens, who would voice Velma from 1976 to 1979; Marla Frumkin replaced her from 1979-1980 and would voice the character again in 1984. Velma was voiced by B.J. Ward from 1997 to 2002, by Mindy Cohn from 2002-2015 and in A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, Velma was voiced by Christina Lange. Starting with Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! (2015-2018), Velma has been voiced by Kate Micucci. Gina Rodriguez voiced Velma as an adult with Ariana Greenblatt voicing her younger self in the animated theatrical film Scoob!.
Secondary characters[]
The Scooby-Doo Show/Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo[]
Scrappy-Doo[]
- Main article: Scrappy-Doo
Scrappy-Doo was added to the cast of Scooby-Doo to save the series' ratings, which by 1979 had begun to sink to the point of cancellation threats from ABC. After his addition to the show proved to be a ratings success, Hanna-Barbera restructured the show around Scrappy in 1980. The original format of four teenagers and their dog(s) solving supernatural mysteries for a half-hour was eschewed for simpler, more comedic adventures which involved real supernatural villains (the villains in previous Scooby episodes were almost always regular humans in disguise).
Scrappy remained an integral part of the Scooby-Doo franchise, on both television and in Scooby-related licensed products and merchandising, through the end of the 1980s. He was also briefly the star of his own seven-minute shorts — the Scrappy and Yabba Doo segments of The Scooby & Scrappy-Doo/Puppy Hour. Teamed with his uncle Yabba-Doo and Deputy Dusty, he helped maintain law and order in a small town in the American west. In later years, the presence of Scrappy-Doo has been criticized as having had a negative effect on the various Scooby-Doo series of the 1980s. However, the gradual decline of Scooby-Doo has been credited to other factors as well, such as changes in format. Scrappy-Doo has become the symbol of an irritatingly overexuberant or cute character added to a series in an attempt to maintain ratings, a phenomenon also known as Cousin Oliver Syndrome. Due to the general perception of the character by audiences, Scrappy-Doo has not appeared in any Scooby-related spinoffs since the made-for-television movie Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf in 1988, with four exceptions:
In the first live-action Scooby-Doo theatrical film — where Scrappy played a decidedly negative role, wanting revenge on Mystery Inc., for abandoning him years ago (he was kicked out for continuously urinating on Daphne, being obnoxious, and the final straw was when he tried to vote himself as the leader of Mystery Inc.). When Velma is talking to a guy at the bar who likes her, she tells him that Scrappy was not a puppy, but had a glandular disorder. Although he nearly succeeds in performing the 'Darkopolypse Ritual', which would give a group of demons the power to rule Earth for the next ten thousand years, his plan is foiled and he and his minions are arrested because he underestimated the Mystery Inc. team, inviting them all to the theme park where he was conducting the ritual after they broke up years before simply to make them witness his triumph when he only needed Scooby present, intending to use Scooby's 'pure' soul to complete his ritual. At the conclusion of the film, Velma says that Scrappy's full name is Scrappy Cornelius Doo.
Scooby-Doo! and the Goblin King (2008) has a scene where a monstrous Mystery Machine crashes through a carnival stand containing dolls of Scrappy, and running over them. Like all the previous direct-to-video movies, Scrappy never made an appearance.
Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated (2010), in the episode "The Siren's Song", Fred and Daphne come across a statue of Scrappy in the Crystal Cove Haunted Museum among the statues of their defeated foes. Daphne remarks it's been awhile since she's seen him before Fred pulls her away, reminding her they all promised never to speak of him again.
- Scrappy was voiced by Lennie Weinrib from 1979 to 1980. He was replaced by Don Messick who would voice him from 1980 to 1988. In the first live action theatrical movie he was voiced by Scott Innes. Innes also voiced Scrappy in the episode Shaggy Busted from Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law.
Scooby-Dum[]
- Main article: Scooby-Dum
Scooby-Dum is a supporting character in The Scooby Doo Show, voiced by Daws Butler. Scooby-Dum, a gray Merle Great Dane with spots and buck teeth is Scooby-Doo's dim-witted cousin (his lineage is dubious because Shaggy has said that he is his brother on one occasion but also his cousin, though it is most likely that they are cousins). Dum lives with Ma and Pa Skillet, in the Okefenokee swamp of southern Georgia. Whenever Doo and Dum greet each other, Scooby-Doo yells, "Scooby, Dooby, Dooby, Dum" and Scooby-Dum says, "Scooby, doobie, doo." They then do a special handshake involving two high fives. Whenever he hears the word "Clue", Scooby-Dum invariably pulls out a magnifying glass and, intoning the opening four notes of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, chants, "Dum, dum, dum, DUM!", even after a mystery is solved. The inclusion of Scooby-Dum is considered one of the first missteps in Scooby-Doo cartoons.
In Laff-a-Lympics, Scooby-Dum is also a teammate for the Scooby Doobies.
Yabba-Doo[]
Yabba-Doo is a white Great Dane. His adventures take place out west, where he fights crime with his master, a bumbling deputy named Deputy Dusty, and his enthusiastic nephew Scrappy-Doo. In contrast to Scooby's catchphrase of "Scooby-Dooby-Doo!", Yabba's was "Yippity-Yabbity-Doo!" (and not "Yabba-Dabba-Doo!", presumably because of Fred Flintstone's use of that particular catchphrase). Yabba is voiced by Don Messick.
Scooby-Dee[]
Scooby-Dee is a female Great Dane, with white fur, first appearing in The Scooby-Doo Show. She was a character in the episode titled "The Chiller Diller Movie Thriller", as a distant cousin of Scooby's, who helped them solve the mystery. She also has a cameo appearances in the second-season episode of What's New, Scooby-Doo?, "Homeward Hound", where she is one of many dogs seen at the dog show the gang is attending. She is seen walking past the screen in two separate scenes in the beginning.
Scooby-Dee was meant to return to The Scooby-Doo Show as a girlfriend to Scooby-Doo, but the show ended before that could happen. Scooby-Dee was voiced by Janet Waldo, better known to many viewers as the voice of Judy Jetson.
The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo[]
Vincent Van Ghoul[]
- Main article: Vincent Van Ghoul
In The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo, Vincent Van Ghoul is a renowned magician and warlock, with extensive knowledge of the supernatural. He is first visited by Shaggy, Scooby, Daphne and Scrappy with Flim-Flam, after they need some help with their plane, which has crash-landed in a nearby temple in Tibet. After Shaggy and Scooby unwittingly unleash thirteen terrible ghosts from the chest in which they were locked, Van Ghoul tells them that they must trap them again. In the show's opening, a terrified Shaggy moans "Why us?", to which Van Ghoul replies "Because you let them out!"
Despite being very angry with the pair for unleashing the ghosts, he agrees to help them in their ghost-questing, and gives the group a crystal ball through which he can contact them. He shares personality traits with his voice actor, Vincent Price, like having a very morbid and dark sense of humour.
In Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, Van Ghoul is an actor who does horror films (much like Vincent Price, who was the inspiration for his character). He is constantly referenced and glimpses of his movies can be seen throughout the series (according to Shaggy he has done more than 400 movies). He makes a full appearance in the episode "Nightfright", when Shaggy and Scooby win an essay contest to have dinner with him, and later in the episode "Theater of Doom", where he directs the production of Crystal Cove's theatre stage of the legend of Friar Serra and his faithful donkey Porto, who supposedly saved many inhabitants from a tsunami that destroyed Crystal Cove.
- In The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo, Van Ghoul is voiced by Vincent Price. In Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated and Scooby-Doo! and the Curse of the 13th Ghost, Van Ghoul is voiced by Maurice LaMarche impersonating Price.
Flim-Flam[]
- Main article: Flim-Flam
Flim Flam was a part of the gang for all thirteen episodes of The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo. A preteen Tibetan child, Film Flam is a con artist with the personality of an archetypical American used-car salesman. He is seen in the first episode, "To All the Ghouls I've Loved Before", trying to sell a magic concoction to a local town located in the Himalayan Mountains. However, he was kicked out of town, and managed to meet up with the current Scooby gang, who was trying to find the Mystery Machine (an airplane) hidden by Bogel and Weerd. He took them to a psychic (Vincent Van Ghoul) who could help the whole group find their mode of transportation, and warned them of ensuing danger. Daphne is a given a drink laced with wolfsbane due to the fact the townspeople believe that she overheard their secret, and when the night falls on the town, the group finds out that the whole town is actually a werewolf cult. They are pursued into the sewers, and Flim Flam opens one of his products to spray on Daphne, who reverts to normal. He goes on to cure the rest of the townspeople, who are ever grateful for the help. When Scrappy, Daphne and Flim Flam question them as to how they got that way in the first place, they are told that they were turned into werewolves as revenge for sealing the Thirteen Ghosts into the Chest of Demons, and the current group races to keep Shaggy and Scooby from opening the chest, but to no avail. After Shaggy and Scooby open the chest and release the thirteen ghosts within it, Flim Flam decides to join them in their hunt to return them to the chest.
In the Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated episode "The Siren's Song", Fred and Daphne come across a statue of Flim Flam in the Crystal Cove Haunted Museum among the statues of their defeated foes. Daphne remarks that Flim Flam was arrested and received a harsh sentence of 25 years to life for being a juvenile con-artist (this was an inside joke; 25 years had passed between 13 Ghosts in 1985 and Mystery Incorporated in 2010). It is also referenced that Fred was away at trapping camp during the events of The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo.
An older teen version of Flim Flam appears in the direct-to-video movie Scooby-Doo! and the Curse of the 13th Ghost.
- Flim-Flam is voiced by Susan Blu in the original series. In the direct-to-video movie Scooby-Doo! and the Curse of the 13th Ghost, Flim Flam is voiced by Noshir Dalal.
Weerd and Bogel[]
Bogel is a fat, dimwitted ghost while Weerd is a tall, skinny ghost. Weerd is the mastermind of the two. They both are recurring characters in the 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo and are first seen in the episode "To All the Ghouls I've Loved Before". Weerd comes up with a scheme to lure Shaggy and Scooby to open the Chest of Demons so he and Bogel can gain some glory with the 13 ghosts. In nearly every episode, Weerd and Bogel attempt to help out one of the chest escapees in fulfilling their master plan. Throughout the series, Weerd and Bogel try to get into S.A.P.S. (short for Spook and Poltergeist Society), a legion of high honor for the most terrifying ghosts and ghouls.
- Weerd is voiced by Arte Johnson.
- Bogel is voiced by Howard Morris.
13 Ghosts[]
The 13 Ghosts are a group of malevolent ghosts and demons that were imprisoned in the Chest of Demons. Weerd and Bogel tricked Shaggy and Scooby into opening the Chest of Demons to free them. Now it's up to Scooby-Doo and his friends to recapture the 13 Ghosts as they were the ones who let them out. During this time, Weerd and Bogel worked alongside the different 13 Ghosts to further their goals and reclaim the Chest of Demons to no avail.
The 13 Ghosts consist of:
- Maldor the Malevolent (voiced by Peter Cullen) - A ghostly warlock from the Dark Ages who is a master of the black arts.

- Zimbulu (voiced by Peter Cullen in his true form, Edie McClurg in human form) - A horned lion demon with goat-like hooves who posed as a medium named Tallulah.
The film Scooby-Doo! and the Curse of the 13th Ghost features the 13th Ghost named Asmodeus who had eluded Scooby-Doo. Mystery Inc. reunites with Vincent van Ghoul and Flim Flam to catch Asmodeus. Asmodeus' history was the he was originally Vincent Van Ghoul's ancestor Asamad Van Ghoul. Vincent's friend Mortifer Quinch (voiced by Nolan North) impersonated Asmodeus in a plot to make a profit from the Chest of Demons only to be thwarted by Mystery Inc. The real Asmodeus appeared and resumed his true form of Asamad Van Ghoul as Velma figured out that Asamad was trying to keep Vincent safe. This was a ruse by Velma which she secretly told to Flim-Flam.
Movie characters[]
Scooby-Doo Meets the Boo Brothers[]
Beauregard's Ghost[]
Beauregard's Ghost was the ghost of Shaggy Rogers's Uncle Beauregard. Unlike the other hostile ghosts Shaggy, Scooby and Scrappy encounter, who where all T.J. Buzby in disguise, there were two versions of Beauregard's Ghost, one also T.J. in disguise, and an actual ghost. He resembled an elderly male with white skin, glowing yellow eyes, and white hair with a handlebar moustache and beard. He wore a Confederate uniform. The real ghost wanted Shaggy, Scooby and Scrappy to leave Beauregard Plantation by scaring them saying "Go back, leave this place!", and when they finally do leave, he makes no moves to stop them. The one that was T.J. in disguise was far more violent, trying to kill the three heroes, multiple times throughout the movie. He carried a sword to threaten Shaggy, Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo away. He could also pass through walls with his Intangibility.
Both the real Beauregard's Ghost and the one that was Sheriff Rufus Buzby's twin brother T.J. Buzby in disguise was one of two primary ghosts scaring Shaggy, Scooby, and Scrappy, the other being the Skull Ghost. He first appears watching the trio enter the Beauregard cemetery, and immediately after their encounter with the Headless Horseman and the ghost wolf, they encounter him on the road, warning them to leave the property. Both versions sporadically appears throughout the movie, constantly chasing the trio. He gets into a fight with the Boo Brothers before retreating, and in the tunnels he tries to kill Shaggy, Scooby and Scrappy in the caves using traps left from the civil war and a compactor truck. After the Skull Ghost was caught and exposed as T.J., Scooby found the costume and bicycle and pranked Scrappy and Shaggy, though Scooby tripped and the joke was exposed, because of this, Shaggy assumed this meant all the ghosts were fake, but then, the picture of his uncle suddenly spoke "Oh no?", shocking them all. As the three were leaving, they encounter Beauregard's Ghost again on the road. Originally, Shaggy thinks it's Scooby playing a prank again, but upon realizing Scooby was still in the truck with them, they all realize that the ghost in front of them was indeed real and drive off panicking as Beauregard's Ghost looks on.
Boo Brothers[]
The Boo Brothers is the name of an inept ghost-busting company run by three ghosts who may or may not actually be related.
When Shaggy Rogers inherited a mansion and treasure from his uncle, he wound up stuck in it, which was haunted. He then had Scrappy-Doo call a team of ghost exterminators. The first in the phone book was the Boo Brothers, who promptly arrived through the telephone.
Though it soon became evident they were no good at catching ghosts, they did save Shaggy from falling off the roof when he was pushed by the Skull Ghost. They proceeded to both aid and hinder Shaggy's quest for the treasure, still not managing to catch the ape, Skull Ghost, or Farquard. After saving Shaggy, Scrappy, and Scooby-Doo from a sinking boat, they assisted in capturing the Skull Ghost, revealed to be T.J. Buzby. Shaggy then gave them the mansion while he, Scooby, and Scrappy go to donate the jewelry to an Beaureguard Trust Fund For Orphans.
- Members
- Freako is the leader of the Boo Brothers, a group of three ghosts who act as incompetent ghost-busters. Freako resembles a humanoid with a ghostly white and translucent body, a round nose, and a tail-like end. He wears a yellow ranger's hat tied on with a red band over his brown hair that sticks just out. He's big, but not muscular, with a hunchback. He is the brave and aggressive, take-charge leader of the Boo Brothers; an ill-tempered bully, prone to slapstick violence against the other two. Since he's a ghost, he can pass through walls and turn invisible. He can also pass through telephone lines and pass through keyholes (though he did get stuck trying to get back out). He and his two brothers were hired by Shaggy Rogers, Scooby-Doo, and Scrappy-Doo as ghost exterminators to rid the Beauregard mansion of the multiple ghosts. However, he and his brothers mostly just messed things up until Shaggy got fed up and fired them, at which point they started crying and told Shaggy that they were orphans and they needed the job so they could earn money to get their own place. Shaggy reconsidered and rehired them, but telling them they had to "shape up or ship out." Eventually, they saved Shaggy, Scooby, and Scrappy's lives, lifting their sunken boat out of the water and preventing them from drowning, and got the three back to the house in time to catch T.J. Buzby before he stole the treasure. Shaggy, Scooby, and Scrappy left the Beauregard house to them, so they finally got their own house.
- Meako is one of the Boo Brothers, a group of three ghosts who act as incompetent ghost-busters. Meako resembles a portly humanoid, with ghostly white and translucent body, a large nose, no hair, and a tail-like end. He wears a red baseball cap backward. He is the meekest, least likely to start a fight with the others. He is a ghost, so he can phase through walls. He can also hide a large number of objects in his baseball cap, including himself. Meako was hired by Shaggy Rogers when he discovered that the huge house that he had inherited from his uncle was haunted. Meako helped Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, and Scrappy-Doo find the treasure that had been hidden on the plantation surrounding the house, and eventually helped to solve the mystery of the house. Once the mystery was solved, Shaggy decided to leave the house to the Boo Brothers as a thank you for their help.
- Shreako is one of the Boo Brothers, a group of three ghosts who act as incompetent ghost-busters. Shreako resembles a humanoid, with a thin ghostly white and translucent body, a beak-like nose, and a tail-like end. He wears a green aviator's cap. Shreako is somewhat goofy and crazy. He doesn't like it when Meako sticks his head right through him and Freako sticks his arm right through him. When they do, he laughs crazily and quickly and says, "Don't do that!" Being a ghost, he can fly and pass through walls, as well as telephone lines. He can also turn his head into a lightbulb and turn into a floating head for his "scary face" act. He's also pretty good at playing the piano. He and his two brothers were hired by Shaggy Rogers, Scooby-Doo and Scrappy as ghost exterminators to rid the Beauregard mansion of the multiple ghosts. However, he and his brothers mostly just messed things up until Shaggy got fed up and fired them, at which point they started crying and told Shaggy that they were orphans and they needed the job so they could earn money to get their own place. Shaggy reconsidered and rehired them, but telling them they had to "shape up or ship out." Eventually, they saved Shaggy, Scooby, and Scrappy's lives, lifting their sunken boat out of the water and preventing them from drowning, and got the three back to the house in time to catch T.J. Buzby before he stole the treasure. Shaggy, Scooby, and Scrappy left the Beauregard house to them, so they finally got their own house.
Sadie-Mae Scroggins[]
Sadie-Mae Scroggins is a young woman who lives near the Beauregard Mansion. Sadie is a young and attractive Caucasian female with green eyes, cherry-pink lipstick, and blonde hair, which she ties in two pigtails with red bows. She walks barefoot, and wears a patched red bikini-like top and short shorts, giving her a very redneck or hillbilly characterisation. She’s neighborly and very nice to people. In spite of her kindness, she can resort to physical violence to get her way as shown with her interactions with her older brother Billy-Bob Scroggins. She was very persistent regarding her romantic interest in Shaggy Rogers, kissing him every chance she got. She even stated she wanted to marry him, despite just meeting him. Sadie continued to pursue him passing off his objections as Shaggy playing hard to get. She is extremely strong, being capable of tying her brother's gun in a knot with ease, which she does multiple times to thwart his attempts on Shaggy's life.
She fell for Shaggy at first sight and wanted to marry him, in spite of the feud between her clan and the Beauregards, of whom Shaggy was a relative. There were a couple of instances where Sadie appeared out of nowhere, grabbing Shaggy and repeatedly kissed him until he managed to break away.
Billy-Bob Scroggins[]
Billy-Bob Scroggins lives in a cabin near the Beauregard Mansion, who continues the feud between the Scroggins and the Beauregards.
Unlike his beautiful younger sister, Billy-Bob is a rather repulsive young adult Caucasian adult male, with brown hair, a bulbous nose, non-existent chin, long arms and legs, and big feet. He wears an old and worn out beige farmer hat, a green tee shirt with sleeves ripped right below the shoulders and two buttons at the neck, purple suspenders, brick red farmer pants that end at the middle of his shins, and is barefoot like his sister. He carries an old fashioned, large barreled blunderbuss which he intends to kill Shaggy Rogers with.
He hates the Beauregard family and is hostile to Shaggy Rogers solely because he's related to them, freely using his boomstick shotgun against him.
When he learned that Shaggy was a relative of Uncle Beauregard, he made several attempts to shoot him. He strongly objected to his sister Sadie-Mae's plan to marry Shaggy. While Shaggy, Scooby, and Scrappy were searching for Clues and the treasure that Beauregard had hid, Billy-Bob tried to shoot Shaggy, but had fallen victim to many antics: he led a trail of gunpowder back at him, shot the Gorilla which cause him to take his boomstick and shoot at him back, and then was tricked by Scrappy in to shooting a Bear which cause to run. Later, while Shaggy was searching for the last clue, he followed Shaggy in an attempt to shoot him behind, but Sadie-Mae kept pushing him down to make a surprise move on him. When he finally pushed Sadie-Mae down, he was getting ready to shoot him until the Skull Ghost pop and scared him.
Billy Bob made two final attempts to shoot Shaggy while he and Scooby lower Scrappy down a well. When Shaggy and Scooby went down the well, he was getting ready to shoot them until Sadie-Mae somehow twisted the boomstick into a knot behind his back. As he fires it, it exploded in his face. Then, he shot and chase after them to a Log that was hanging over an edge, unaware Shaggy and Scooby escape, the Ape (who Billy Bob accidentally shot while he was shooting at Shaggy and Scooby.) appear, and Billy Bob shot him and realized his mistake. The Ape took the boomstick, snapped it in half and lift up the Log which cause Billy Bob to fall and landed in a Pond.
