Scooby-Doo is a talking anthropomorphic dog, who is the main character and protagonist of the Scooby-Doo animated franchise. His voice was originated by Don Messick. Besides being capable of human speech, he also has other anthropomorphic abilities, but remains the pet of Shaggy Rogers, and is the mascot of Mystery Incorporated, who is usually a gang of teenagers with a strong sense of purpose to solve mysteries and crimes.

Throughout the years, Hanna-Barbera, Cartoon Network, and Warner Bros. Animation, as well as book and video game publishers, have conceived several incarnations, which don't always fit together because new writers have come on board and disregarded what has come before or there has been a complete reboot, but the general concept has been the same, except for DC Comics' radically altered Scooby Apocalypse.

Character description

Unlike an average Great Dane, Scooby-Doo has a single shade of brown fur with some black spots covering the upper half of his body. He has a small chin, a long sausage-like tail, a sloped back, and bowed legs. He wears a teal collar with a diamond-shaped name tag; His tag bears the initials "SD".

Sharing personality traits with his owner Shaggy, Scooby is constantly hungry and is scared easily by many things. The two refuse to help out Mystery Inc. in solving haunted crimes, but are encouraged to do so when offered Scooby Snacks. Eating the snacks temporarily made Scooby appear more heroic and loyal than he is.

Beyond having the same traits as Shaggy, Scooby also has a bit of mischief in himself. He tends to do scare pranks on others and would snatch up food from Shaggy.

Abilities

Scooby has the interesting ability to talk in English, albeit in a broken matter. His speech mainly consists of pronouncing the letter "R" at the start of most words and noises he made. Though incoherent at first, most people including Mystery Inc. can understand him perfectly, if they acknowledge that he can speak at all. In earlier installments of the franchise, he is a speech-impaired dog who could only spurt out single words and/or short sentences. However, in recent years (most notably in Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated), Scooby rarely has his speech impediment and can speak in fuller sentences. He is also able to talk to other animals (such as dogs), which may come in handy whenever the gang is in need of help of more information.

Apart from his speech, Scooby also has other anthropomorphic qualities to him. He is able to stand on his hind legs, and his paws have opposite thumbs which at times function like human hands. His body can morph to mimic any and all monsters, along with some humans, too. His tail is fully prehensile, able to swing from or press buttons in certain situations.

SCOOB! on the Big Screen

Scooby Sells Out

In the Pound Puppies episode "Secret Agent Pup," Clawfinger drives to his base in Mount Muttmore, which has the faces of Muttley, Huckleberry, Scooby, and Doggie Daddy sculpted into it. The entrance is directly beneath Scooby.

In the Sabrina, the Teenage Witch episode "Unplugged," Sabrina zaps herself into Leonard's computer to remove footage of when she used her powers in the Scorch office, meeting the screensaver versions of Scooby and Shaggy in the process.

At the end of The Amazing World of Gumball episode "The Spinoffs," Rob reads some text off of Timmy, the Internet, finding a show to replace Gumball that would be something akin to Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, with a Great Dane and his "kooky friends" who solve mysteries in a van.

Looneyverse

In the film Looney Tunes: Back in Action, Scooby and Shaggy are at a restaurant with Matthew Lillard who have umbrage with his portrayal as Shaggy in Scooby-Doo. Shaggy tells Lillard he made him look like a "space cadet" and better not "goof on him" in the sequel, Scooby will offer him a Scooby Snack in a nasty way.

In the Duck Dodgers episode "Surf the Stars," During the surfing montage where Duck Dodgers and the Crusher run by in various outfits, Mystery Inc. briefly runs by the screen.

In the Warner Bros. Serververse in Space Jam: A New Legacy, the gang (based on their Scoob! designs) arrives at the basketball game between the Tune Squad and the Goon Squad in the Mystery Machine, then watch from outside the van. Mystery Inc., like all the other IPs, has no particular preference and just reacts to whatever is happening.

Like a Good Neighbour...

The gang gets help from State Farm agent Lucy Rodas after the Mystery Machine gets knocked into a ditch by the Creeper.

Scooby tries to make a phone call to Mysteries Insurance, but they can't understand him.

Scooby is shocked to discover that Shaggy can't eat after getting a huge bill from Mysteries Insurance, with the narrator suggesting that he should get help from State Farm.

Titans Go!

Shaggy and Scooby pop up as non-speaking cameos in the Mystery Machine next to Beast Boy and Cyborg in the T-Car during their stakeout song.[1]

Scooby and his friends are forced by Control Freak to compete against the Teen Titans in a game of Family Feud.[2]

Mystery Inc. are guests at Warner Bros.' 100th anniversary party at their Burbank studio, where the Teen Titans are acting as security.[3]

Development

Scooby began life as a bongo-playing big shaggy dog called Too Much.[4] There was some fear out of having him a Great Dane due to the comparisons with Marmaduke. The name "Scooby-Doo" apparently came from CBS children's programming executive, Fred Silverman, who was on a plane one day listening to Frank Sinatra sing "Strangers in the Night," although according to Takamoto in his book My Life with a Thousand Characters, there was another dog called Scooby he saw in the Hanna-Barbera archives dating back to the early 1960s.[5]

During the debate, she gets frustrated with Steve, asking if they can have a discussion without Scooby-Doo, but Steve is caught up in the episode, which he says is about a ghost in a salt mine (despite that not being the case), and then fools around trying to do Shaggy's voice, saying, "But, Scoobs, what about the ghost?"
