Scooby-Doo
Caracters: Scooby-Doo
Scooby-Doo's Personality
Scooby-Doo eats a sandwich.Scooby-Doo and Shaggy share several
personality traits, including tremendous appetites and tendencies
toward cowardice. Due to their said cowardice, Scooby-Doo, as
well as Shaggy, would often have to be bribed by their cohorts
(Velma, Daphne and Fred) to go after the costumed villains with "Scooby
Snacks," a biscuit-like dog treat or cookie snack, although
sometimes, Scooby Snacks won't work on Shaggy, so he may get "Shaggy
Snacks". Within the universe of the show, Scooby-Doo was
born on the Knittingham Puppy Farm (owned by Mrs. Knittingham).
Scooby has some difficulty with pronunciation, and tends to
pronounce most words as if they begin with an "R".
His catch phrase, usually howled at the end of every episode,
is "Scooby-Dooby-Doo!"
Scooby-Doo's Voice cast
Don Messick originated the character's voice patterns, and
provided Scooby's voice in every Scooby-Doo production from
1969 until 1996, when Messick retired. Scott Innes voiced
Scooby-Doo in four late 1990s/early 2000s direct-to-video
films, and Frank Welker (also the voice of Fred) took over
beginning with What's New, Scooby-Doo? in 2002 and other
spinoffs. Because of this, Scooby's voice sounded very similar
to Brain from the Inspector Gadget animated series (Brain
was also voiced by Frank Welker). Neil Fanning provided the
voice of the computer-generated Scooby present in the two
Warner Bros. live-action feature films.
Don Messick (1969-1997, till death)

Scooby-Doo's Relatives
Over the course of Scooby-Doo's various spinoffs, various relatives
of Scooby were introduced:
Scrappy-Doo: Scooby's young nephew (and son of Scooby's sister
Ruby-Doo), Scrappy is the most noteworthy of Scooby's relatives.
Scrappy became a recurring character in the Scooby-Doo series
beginning in 1979, and was noted for being quite headstrong and
always wanting to face off in a fight against the various villains
(unlike his uncle). Scooby and Shaggy were present at Scrappy's
birth. In the first live-action movie, he was portrayed in a
negative light, in response to the public dislike toward his
character. Likewise, recent video re-releases of Scooby-Doo Meets
the Boo Brothers, Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School, and Scooby-Doo
and the Reluctant Werewolf omitted Scrappy from all promotional
material (including the covers), though his part was not cut
from any of the films themselves.
Scooby-Dum: Scooby's cousin, a gray dog. A Mortimer Snerd-esque
dog who longed to be a detective. Was rather dimwitted (he'd
keep looking for clues even after the mystery was solved).
Scooby-Dee: Scooby's cousin, a white dog. Spoke with a Southern
accent, and was an actress, even though she was Scooby's cousin,
she acted more like a girlfriend.
Yabba-Doo: Scooby's brother, a white dog owned by Deputy Dusty
in the American southwest. Unlike Scooby's and Scrappy's, his
typical custom catch-phrase at the end is "Yippity-Yabbity-Doooo!!!",
and not "Yabba-Dabba-Doo!", due to obvious reasons
(Fred Flinstone says that)..
Dooby-Doo: Scooby's triplet brother, a singer. He is one of Scooby's
few siblings to have hair on his head.
Mumsy and Dada Doo: Scooby's parents.
Whoopsy-Doo: Scooby's cousin, a clown. Owned by Norville's uncle,
Gaggy Rogers.
Ruby-Doo: Scooby's sister, and mother of Scrappy-Doo.
Skippy-Doo: Scooby's triplet brother. Highly intelligent. He
is Scooby's only sibling to wear glasses.
Howdy-Doo: Scooby's brother. Enjoyed reading supermarket tabloid
newspapers. He appears to become a redhead.
Horton-Doo: Scooby's uncle. Was interested in monsters and science.
Dixie-Doo: Scooby's cousin.
Grandpa Scooby: Scooby's grandfather.
Great-Grandpa Scooby: Scooby's great-grandfather.
Dumper Scoots: A confused lion that thinks he is a dog. Having
the same speech pattern as Scooby-Doo he believes he is Scooby's
cousin.
