'''Scoobert "Scooby"-Doo''' is a fictional dog and the [[eponym]]ous character of the popular television series ''[[Scooby-Doo]]''. At an early age he was brought to the Mystery Inc. Scooby-Doo is a [[Great Dane]] who is the pet and best friend of [[Shaggy Rogers]].


'''Scoobert''' "'''Scooby'''" '''Doo''' is the [[:wikt:eponym|eponym]]ous character and [[protagonist]] of the [[Scooby-Doo|animated television franchise]] created in 1969 by the American animation company [[Hanna-Barbera]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Erickson |first1=Hal |title=Television Cartoon Shows: An Illustrated Encyclopedia, 1949 Through 2003 |date=2005 |edition=2nd |publisher=McFarland & Co |isbn=978-1476665993 |pages=719–726}}</ref> He is a male [[Great Dane]] and lifelong companion of amateur detective [[Shaggy Rogers]], with whom he shares many personality traits. He features a mix of both canine and human behaviors (reminiscent of other [[talking animals in fiction|talking animal]]s in Hanna-Barbera's series), and is treated by his friends more or less as an equal. Scooby often speaks in a rhotacized way, substituting the first letters of many words with the letter 'r'. His [[catchphrase]] is "Scooby-Dooby-Doo!"
== Personality ==
‎Scooby-Doo and Shaggy Rogers 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 friends ([[Velma Dinkley|Velma]], [[Daphne Blake|Daphne]] and [[Fred "Freddie" Jones|Fred]]) to go after the costumed villains with "[[Scooby Snacks]]," a biscuit-like dog treat or cookie snack (usally shaped like a bone), although sometimes, Scooby Snacks won't work on Shaggy so he may have to be tempted with two Scooby Snacks (or as with some episodes the gang may even have Scooby Snacks Industrial Size). Within the universe of the show, Scooby-Doo was born on the Knittingham Puppy Farm (owned by Mrs. Knittingham). It is also mentioned by Daphne that he doesn't like clams.


==History==
Scooby has some difficulty with pronunciation (due to the fact he is a dog), 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!" He also usually says, at least once per episode, "Ruh-row, Raggy" ("Uh-oh, Shaggy").
Writers [[Joe Ruby]] and [[Ken Spears]] created the original ''Scooby-Doo'' series, ''[[Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!]]'', for Hanna-Barbera as a part of [[CBS]]'s 1969–1970 [[Saturday morning cartoon]] schedule. Originally titled ''Mysteries Five'', the dog who later became Scooby was originally more of a sidekick character&nbsp;– a bongo-playing dog named "Too Much" whose breed varied between [[Great Dane]] and [[sheepdog]] between treatments.<ref name="STUEP1">Shostak, Stu (February 5, 2012). "[http://www.stusshow.com/archives.php Interview with Joe Ruby and Ken Spears] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190404053345/http://www.stusshow.com/archives.php |date=April 4, 2019 }}". ''Stu's Show.'' Retrieved March 18, 2013.</ref><ref name="RubyAndSpears">Ruby and Spears (2002).</ref>


By the time the series was pitched to the network as ''Who's S-S-Scared?'' in early 1969, Too Much was solidified as a cowardly Great Dane. Both the dog and the series would be renamed ''Scooby-Doo'' by [[Fred Silverman]], CBS's head of daytime programming, between its unsuccessful first pitch and the second pitch that earned the show a green light. Silverman stated that he came up with the name from the syllables "[[Strangers in the Night#Recording and release|doo-be-doo-be-doo]]" in [[Frank Sinatra]]'s hit song "[[Strangers in the Night]]".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/obituaries/story/2020-01-30/fred-silverman-all-in-the-family-dead|title=Fred Silverman, TV executive came up with 'Scooby-Doo,' and championed 'All in the Family,' has died|date=January 30, 2020|website=Los Angeles Times|access-date=May 11, 2020|archive-date=April 12, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200412033428/https://www.latimes.com/obituaries/story/2020-01-30/fred-silverman-all-in-the-family-dead|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>[http://www.cinema.com/articles/976/scooby-doo-scooby-history.phtml Scooby-Doo: Scooby History] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100201100716/http://www.cinema.com/articles/976/scooby-doo-scooby-history.phtml |date=February 1, 2010 }} Cinema.com</ref> Though a similar name was featured in the title of the single "[[Feelin' So Good (S.K.O.O.B.Y.-D.O.O.)]]" released just a few months earlier in 1968 by [[The Archies]], a fictional band from the CBS series ''[[The Archie Show]]'' that was also overseen by Silverman.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.decades.com/lists/10-sweet-things-you-never-knew-about-the-archies|title=10 sweet things you never knew about the Archies|website=Decades|access-date=May 9, 2020|archive-date=November 28, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201128044428/https://www.decades.com/lists/10-sweet-things-you-never-knew-about-the-archies|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=vst2DwAAQBAJ&pg=PA19|title=Back Issue #107|first=Michael|last=Eury|date=August 8, 2018|publisher=TwoMorrows Publishing|via=Google Books}}</ref> There was also a character in an unsold TV pilot ''[[Swingin' Together]]'', broadcast in 1963 on CBS, named Skooby-doo.<ref name=obs>{{cite web|url=https://www.tvobscurities.com/spotlight/swingin-together/|title=Swingin' Together (Unsold Pilot)|publisher=Television Obscurities|date=May 20, 2010|accessdate=May 8, 2020|archive-date=September 21, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210921225623/https://www.tvobscurities.com/spotlight/swingin-together/|url-status=live}}</ref>
==Appearance and Anatomy==
Scoobert 'Scooby' Doo is brown from head to toe with several distinctive black spots on his upper body. Scooby is generally a quadraped but displays bipedal 'human' characteristics occasionally. He has a black nose and wears a gold, diamond shaped tagged,green collar with an "SD" and has four toes on each foot and unlike other dogs Scooby only has one pad on the sole of each of his feet (so that it was easier to draw in the Scooby-Doo Annuals).
According to the official magazine that accompanied [[Scooby-Doo (film)|the 2002 movie]], Scooby is seven years old and is a [[Great Dane]].


Taking notes from a Hanna-Barbera colleague who was also a breeder of Great Danes, production designer [[Iwao Takamoto]] designed the Scooby-Doo character with a sloping chin, spots, a long tail, a sloped back, and bow legs&nbsp;– all traits in direct opposition to those of a prize-winning purebred Great Dane.<ref>(2006). Interview with Iwao Takamoto. ''Eerie Mystery of Scooby-Doo and Dynomutt's History'' [documentary featurette from ''The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour: The Complete Series'' DVD bonus features]. New York, Los Angeles, CA: Warner Bros. Entertainment, Inc. Excerpt: "The Great Dane was supposed to be the biggest dog around ... and there was a woman [at the studio] who actually bred and reared Great Danes. So, she came over, and spent a solid hour describing all of the positive things that makes a prize-winning Great Dane. And I selected about five things, I think, and went in the opposite direction. For instance, a good, strong straight back, so I sloped his back. A strong chin, so I under-swung his chin ... and I think straight hind legs she mentioned. So I bowed them ..."</ref> In defining the personality of the dog, Ruby and Spears looked for inspiration to the characters played by [[Bob Hope]] in his horror-comedies&nbsp;– a coward who shows traits of bravery when his friends are in danger.<ref name="STUEP1" /> Veteran Hanna-Barbera voice artist [[Don Messick]] was the original voice of Scooby and spent decades working on the character.
== 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]] (also the then-voice of Shaggy) 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. [[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)
*[[Scott Innes]] (1998-2001)
*[[Frank Welker]] (2002-present)
*[[Neil Fanning]] (live-action films)


''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!'' premiered on CBS on September 13, 1969, at 10:30&nbsp;a.m. [[Eastern Time Zone|Eastern Time]]. It ran for two seasons, with a total of 25 episodes. Its final first-run episode aired on October 31, 1970.
== Relatives ==
Over the course of ''Scooby-Doo'''s various [[spinoff]]s, various relatives of Scooby were introduced:
*'''[[Scrappy-Doo]]''': Scooby's young nephew (and son of Scooby's sister Ruby-Doo), Scrappy is the bravest 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.
*'''[[Scooby-Dum]]''': Scooby's cousin, a blue-grey 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 American English|Southern]] accent, and was an actress. She is [[Scooby Dum]]'s 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!", presumably due to [[Fred Flintstone|another Hanna-Barbera character]]'s usage of that phrase).
*'''Dooby-Doo''': Scooby's triplet brother, a singer. He is one of Scooby's few siblings to have hair on his head.Only Appeared in "The 'Dooby Dooby Doo' Ado" and [[Scooby Goes Hollywood]] as known as "The Scoob".
*'''Momsy and Dada Doo''': Scooby's parents.
*'''Whoopsy-Doo''': Scooby's cousin, a clown. Owned by Shaggy (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. He is married to Ruby Doo and the father of [[Scrappy Doo]].
*'''Howdy-Doo''': Scooby's brother. Enjoyed reading [[supermarket]] [[tabloid]] [[newspaper]]s. He appears to become a [[redhead]].
*'''Horton-Doo''': Scooby's uncle. Was interested in monsters and science.
*'''Dixie-Doo''': Scooby's cousin and the owner of Betty Lou, Shaggy's Southern cousin.
*'''Grandpa Scooby''': Scooby's grandfather.
*'''Great-Grandpa Scooby''': Scooby's great-grandfather.


==Personality==
== Love Interests ==
In most incarnations of the series, Scooby is regarded as a unique [[Great Dane]] dog who is able to speak in broken English, and usually puts the letter "[[R]]" in front of words and noises made. Other incarnations, such as ''[[A Pup Named Scooby-Doo]]'', present him as a speech-impaired dog in the larger [[fictional universe]] as nobody in Coolsville seems bothered by his speaking ability. In recent years (most notably in ''[[Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated]]''), Scooby is able to speak in complete sentences and has more dialogue, though partially retaining his speech impediment. He consistently shows about the same level of intelligence as his friends, while also being subject to the same knack for clumsiness and moments of being dimwitted as well.


Different iterations of the character have been developed and expanded in the various series featuring the characters, many of them contradicting, such as the original series and the recent live-action films where [[Shaggy Rogers|Shaggy]] and Scooby first meet as older teenagers for the first time. This contradicts the animated series ''[[A Pup Named Scooby-Doo]]'', where they know each other from almost infancy, though the films may be seen as having a different continuity altogether than the cartoon products. As an adult canine, Scooby is usually treated as a mix of a pet and a friend by his companions.
*''Amber'': In [[Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders]], Shaggy and Scooby are kidnapped by the "aliens" and abandoned in the desert. There they meet a wild life photographer, Crystal and her dog Amber. Shaggy and Scooby fall for the pair and their love is expressed in a love song called "Groovy" where Shaggy sings of his plan to marry Crystal and have a Shaggy Jr. while Scooby and Amber have puppies. Scooby was heart broken when it is revealed that Amber and Crystal are actually Aliens from another planet and must go home, though he and Shaggy quickly forget about them when they found out there was one more scooby snack box left.


In all versions of the character, Scooby and Shaggy share several personality traits, mostly being cowardly and perpetually hungry. Yet their friends ([[Fred Jones (Scooby-Doo)|Fred]], [[Daphne Blake|Daphne]], and [[Velma Dinkley|Velma]]) encourage them to go after the costumed villains, usually with "[[Scooby Snacks]]". The biscuit-like dog treat or cookie snack is usually shaped like a bone or, in later versions of the cartoons, Scooby's dog tag. However, Scooby's inherent loyalty and courage do often force him to take a more heroic stance even without any prodding. Scooby is also extremely [[tickling|ticklish]], and this is seen in many of the television series and films.
*''Dusk'': in the episode The Vampire Strikes Back, Scooby was caught in a costume and Dusk kisses him. Scooby then giggles.


Scooby has a [[speech disorder|speech impediment]] and tends to pronounce most words as if they begin with an "R"; however, most characters are able to understand him almost perfectly. In most iterations, he keeps his sentences relatively short, usually using [[charades]] for anything longer than three or four words. His [[catchphrase]], usually howled at the end of every production, is "Scooby-Dooby-Doo!" or "Rooby-Rooby-Roo". Scooby was voiced by [[Don Messick]] through ''[[Scooby-Doo! in Arabian Nights|Arabian Nights]]'' in 1994, after which point Messick quit smoking; quitting smoking changed his voice and prevented him from achieving the same raspy vocal effect (despite Messick's efforts, he suffered a career-ending stroke in 1996 and died in 1997, before any further ''Scooby-Doo'' productions were made). Messick is also known for providing the voice of the dogs [[List of The Jetsons characters#Astro|Astro]] on ''[[The Jetsons]]'' and [[Muttley]] (who snickered).<ref>''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!: The Complete 1st and 2nd Seasons'': "Scooby-Doo Facts" interior</ref> The characteristic speech impediments of Scooby and Astro are so similar that Astro's signature phrase, "Ruh-roh!", is popularly and improperly attributed to Scooby (as in "Ruh-roh, Raggy!");{{Citation needed|date=January 2024}} of the two voices, Scooby's had a deeper and throatier [[timbre]] than Astro's.
*''Chiquita'': in [[Scooby-Doo and the Monster of Mexico]] Scooby meets up with Chiquita Alejo's son's dog when the gang arrives at Alejo's family hotel.


According to Fred in ''[[Scooby-Doo: Behind the Scenes]]'', the thought of having a dog with an [[Adam's apple]] was a little strange, but they got used to it, so when he started talking, it wasn't a big deal. But despite his special gift of speech, he did have his shortcomings like his cowardice. But as Mystery Inc. bonded, he would form a special partnership with Shaggy, comparing themselves to [[Sherlock Holmes]] and [[Dr. Watson]]. Shaggy says that things just clicked and whenever the gang needs bait for a villain, they would send Shaggy and Scooby in and he says there's no one else he would rather work with. Fred claims that the only thing that scares Scooby more than monsters is a trip to the vet.
*''Googy'': in [[Scooby Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf]] he received a kiss from her, then later at the monster race he tried to get another kiss, but was pulled off by Shaggy.


==Appearance and anatomy==
*''Sandy Duncan'': In [[The New Scooby-Doo Movies]] episode: "Sandy Duncan's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", Scooby fell for Sandy Duncan at a studio.
Scooby is brown from head to toe with several distinctive black spots on his upper body and does not seem to have a [[melanistic mask]]. He is generally a quadruped but displays bipedal 'human' characteristics occasionally. Scooby also has [[Thumb|opposable thumbs]] and can use his front paws like hands. He has a black nose and wears an off-yellow, diamond-shaped-tagged blue collar with an "SD" (his initials) and has four toes on each foot. Unlike other dogs, Scooby only has one pad on each of his paws, a trait that was added to make it easier to draw in the Scooby-Doo Annuals.


Scooby has a fully prehensile tail he can use to swing from or press buttons. Both his head and tail are malleable and useful as a communication aid or creating a distraction.
*''Jeannie'': In [[The New Scooby-Doo Movies]] episode: "Scooby-Doo Meets Jeannie", before the Mystery Machine crashes on the road, Scooby looks out the window and notices Jeannie up in the air, waving to him. While in Persia (now referred to as [[Iran]]), Jeannie is kidnapped, but Scooby manages to set her free by howling. Jeannie is so grateful, she kisses Scooby.
*''Sled dog'': In the Snow beast episode, Scooby falls in love with a sled dog. At the end, she kisses him.


Creator [[Iwao Takamoto]] later explained that before he designed the character, he first spoke to a Great Dane breeder, who described to him the desirable characteristics of a pedigree dog. Takamoto then drew Scooby as the opposite of this. He said "I decided to go the opposite [way] and gave him a hump back, bowed legs, small chin and such. Even his color is wrong."<ref>{{cite news |title=Scooby-Doo creator dies aged 81 |publisher=[[BBC]] |date=January 9, 2007 |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/6243717.stm |access-date=November 25, 2009}}</ref>
==Trivia==
{{Trivia|date=April 2008}}
*The "dog-treat/Scooby Snack" gag had been used before in several Hanna-Barbera cartoons, including ''[[Quick Draw McGraw]]'' and ''[[Dastardly and Muttley]]''.


According to the official magazine that accompanied [[Scooby-Doo (film)|the 2002 film]], Scooby is seven years old.
*Scooby-Doo appears at times in [[Cartoon Network]]'s ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy]]'' as a character who is described as being in the "wrong show." He has spoken little, some of his lines being, "What am I doin' here, man? I'm just a stinkin' dog!", and "[[Mandy]] made fun of the way I talk. I mean look at me! I'm a stinkin' dog!"


==Voice actors==
* In ''[[Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get a Clue!]]'', Scooby, as well as Shaggy, are not as cowardly as they were in previous series, although in the episode '''Lightning Strikes Twice''', Scooby is shown with a severe case of [[astraphobia]], something he rarely had in the other shows. Scooby-Doo also has the ability to gain awesome powers by eating certain scooby snacks (bone shaped dog treat)
[[Don Messick]] originated the character's speech patterns and provided Scooby-Doo's voice in every ''Scooby-Doo'' production from 1969 until his retirement in 1996. Voice actor [[Hadley Kay]] voiced the character for a brief period in 1997, for two episodes of ''[[Johnny Bravo]]'', and a few television commercials. [[Scott Innes]] (also the then-voice of Shaggy) voiced Scooby-Doo in the 1998-2001 direct-to-video films and continued to voice the character regularly for video games (such as ''[[Scooby-Doo! Night of 100 Frights]]''), toys and some commercials until 2008. [[Neil Fanning]] provided the voice of the computer-generated Scooby-Doo in the [[Scooby-Doo (film)|2002 live-action film]] and its [[Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed|2004 sequel]]. [[Frank Welker]] (also the voice of Fred since 1969) has voiced Scooby since 2002, taking over beginning with ''[[What's New, Scooby-Doo?]]'' and other [[Spin-off (media)|spin-offs]] including the live-action prequels ''[[Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins]]'' and ''[[Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster]]''. [[Dave Coulier]] and [[Seth Green]] have both voiced the character in ''[[Robot Chicken]]''.

Scoobert "Scooby" Doo is the eponymous character and protagonist of the animated television franchise created in 1969 by the American animation company Hanna-Barbera.[1] He is a male Great Dane and lifelong companion of amateur detective Shaggy Rogers, with whom he shares many personality traits. He features a mix of both canine and human behaviors (reminiscent of other talking animals in Hanna-Barbera's series), and is treated by his friends more or less as an equal. Scooby often speaks in a rhotacized way, substituting the first letters of many words with the letter 'r'. His catchphrase is "Scooby-Dooby-Doo!"

History

Writers Joe Ruby and Ken Spears created the original Scooby-Doo series, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, for Hanna-Barbera as a part of CBS's 1969–1970 Saturday morning cartoon schedule. Originally titled Mysteries Five, the dog who later became Scooby was originally more of a sidekick character – a bongo-playing dog named "Too Much" whose breed varied between Great Dane and sheepdog between treatments.[2][3]

By the time the series was pitched to the network as Who's S-S-Scared? in early 1969, Too Much was solidified as a cowardly Great Dane. Both the dog and the series would be renamed Scooby-Doo by Fred Silverman, CBS's head of daytime programming, between its unsuccessful first pitch and the second pitch that earned the show a green light. Silverman stated that he came up with the name from the syllables "doo-be-doo-be-doo" in Frank Sinatra's hit song "Strangers in the Night".[4][5] Though a similar name was featured in the title of the single "Feelin' So Good (S.K.O.O.B.Y.-D.O.O.)" released just a few months earlier in 1968 by The Archies, a fictional band from the CBS series The Archie Show that was also overseen by Silverman.[6][7] There was also a character in an unsold TV pilot Swingin' Together, broadcast in 1963 on CBS, named Skooby-doo.[8]

Taking notes from a Hanna-Barbera colleague who was also a breeder of Great Danes, production designer Iwao Takamoto designed the Scooby-Doo character with a sloping chin, spots, a long tail, a sloped back, and bow legs – all traits in direct opposition to those of a prize-winning purebred Great Dane.[9] In defining the personality of the dog, Ruby and Spears looked for inspiration to the characters played by Bob Hope in his horror-comedies – a coward who shows traits of bravery when his friends are in danger.[2] Veteran Hanna-Barbera voice artist Don Messick was the original voice of Scooby and spent decades working on the character.

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! premiered on CBS on September 13, 1969, at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time. It ran for two seasons, with a total of 25 episodes. Its final first-run episode aired on October 31, 1970.

Personality

In most incarnations of the series, Scooby is regarded as a unique Great Dane dog who is able to speak in broken English, and usually puts the letter "R" in front of words and noises made. Other incarnations, such as A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, present him as a speech-impaired dog in the larger fictional universe as nobody in Coolsville seems bothered by his speaking ability. In recent years (most notably in Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated), Scooby is able to speak in complete sentences and has more dialogue, though partially retaining his speech impediment. He consistently shows about the same level of intelligence as his friends, while also being subject to the same knack for clumsiness and moments of being dimwitted as well.

Different iterations of the character have been developed and expanded in the various series featuring the characters, many of them contradicting, such as the original series and the recent live-action films where Shaggy and Scooby first meet as older teenagers for the first time. This contradicts the animated series A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, where they know each other from almost infancy, though the films may be seen as having a different continuity altogether than the cartoon products. As an adult canine, Scooby is usually treated as a mix of a pet and a friend by his companions.

In all versions of the character, Scooby and Shaggy share several personality traits, mostly being cowardly and perpetually hungry. Yet their friends (Fred, Daphne, and Velma) encourage them to go after the costumed villains, usually with "Scooby Snacks". The biscuit-like dog treat or cookie snack is usually shaped like a bone or, in later versions of the cartoons, Scooby's dog tag. However, Scooby's inherent loyalty and courage do often force him to take a more heroic stance even without any prodding. Scooby is also extremely ticklish, and this is seen in many of the television series and films.

Scooby has a speech impediment and tends to pronounce most words as if they begin with an "R"; however, most characters are able to understand him almost perfectly. In most iterations, he keeps his sentences relatively short, usually using charades for anything longer than three or four words. His catchphrase, usually howled at the end of every production, is "Scooby-Dooby-Doo!" or "Rooby-Rooby-Roo". Scooby was voiced by Don Messick through Arabian Nights in 1994, after which point Messick quit smoking; quitting smoking changed his voice and prevented him from achieving the same raspy vocal effect (despite Messick's efforts, he suffered a career-ending stroke in 1996 and died in 1997, before any further Scooby-Doo productions were made). Messick is also known for providing the voice of the dogs Astro on The Jetsons and Muttley (who snickered).[10] The characteristic speech impediments of Scooby and Astro are so similar that Astro's signature phrase, "Ruh-roh!", is popularly and improperly attributed to Scooby (as in "Ruh-roh, Raggy!");[citation needed] of the two voices, Scooby's had a deeper and throatier timbre than Astro's.

According to Fred in Scooby-Doo: Behind the Scenes, the thought of having a dog with an Adam's apple was a little strange, but they got used to it, so when he started talking, it wasn't a big deal. But despite his special gift of speech, he did have his shortcomings like his cowardice. But as Mystery Inc. bonded, he would form a special partnership with Shaggy, comparing themselves to Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. Shaggy says that things just clicked and whenever the gang needs bait for a villain, they would send Shaggy and Scooby in and he says there's no one else he would rather work with. Fred claims that the only thing that scares Scooby more than monsters is a trip to the vet.

Appearance and anatomy

Scooby is brown from head to toe with several distinctive black spots on his upper body and does not seem to have a melanistic mask. He is generally a quadruped but displays bipedal 'human' characteristics occasionally. Scooby also has opposable thumbs and can use his front paws like hands. He has a black nose and wears an off-yellow, diamond-shaped-tagged blue collar with an "SD" (his initials) and has four toes on each foot. Unlike other dogs, Scooby only has one pad on each of his paws, a trait that was added to make it easier to draw in the Scooby-Doo Annuals.

Scooby has a fully prehensile tail he can use to swing from or press buttons. Both his head and tail are malleable and useful as a communication aid or creating a distraction.

Creator Iwao Takamoto later explained that before he designed the character, he first spoke to a Great Dane breeder, who described to him the desirable characteristics of a pedigree dog. Takamoto then drew Scooby as the opposite of this. He said "I decided to go the opposite [way] and gave him a hump back, bowed legs, small chin and such. Even his color is wrong."[11]

According to the official magazine that accompanied the 2002 film, Scooby is seven years old.

Voice actors

Don Messick originated the character's speech patterns and provided Scooby-Doo's voice in every Scooby-Doo production from 1969 until his retirement in 1996. Voice actor Hadley Kay voiced the character for a brief period in 1997, for two episodes of Johnny Bravo, and a few television commercials. Scott Innes (also the then-voice of Shaggy) voiced Scooby-Doo in the 1998-2001 direct-to-video films and continued to voice the character regularly for video games (such as Scooby-Doo! Night of 100 Frights), toys and some commercials until 2008. Neil Fanning provided the voice of the computer-generated Scooby-Doo in the 2002 live-action film and its 2004 sequel. Frank Welker (also the voice of Fred since 1969) has voiced Scooby since 2002, taking over beginning with What's New, Scooby-Doo? and other spin-offs including the live-action prequels Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins and Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster. Dave Coulier and Seth Green have both voiced the character in Robot Chicken.
