**Scooby Doo** is a recurring character in the Enchanted Pup franchise. He is the mascot of Mystery Inc. and the pet dog and best friend of Shaggy Rogers.

## Background

Many years ago, Scooby was born in Coolsville and lived with his extended family. During his childhood, he met Shaggy, Velma, Fred and Daphne and formed a friendship with them. They were his classmates in elementary school and in their reading class, Scooby and the gang were sparked by a mystery novel. Ever since, they listened to that mystery novel, Scooby and the gang wanted to solve their own mystery. One day, when a bank was robbed and when the police couldn't catch, the thief, the gang noticed some footprints that came out of the safe. By using Scooby's strong sense of smell, they found the thief and chased him, all over Coolsville. Velma then had a genius idea of how to catch the thief. Shaggy and Fred untied the net from the soccer field and used to catch the thief.

Once the thief was captured and taken into custody, Scooby and the gang were cheered for their heroism. Since that day, Fred decided that he and the gang should work together to solve mysteries and bring villains to justice.

### Development

   Elkwood has been a huge fan of Scooby Doo since his childhood and figured it would be great to have the title character and the Mystery Gang guest star in the Enchanted Pup franchise.

### Personality

Cowardly and paranoid are the words that were used to describe Scooby because of his phobia of monsters. The only thing that calms Scooby down is having breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack. Because of his phobias, Scooby is aware of monsters, dangerous hazards, storms, snakes and criminals. Scooby is mostly seen with his best friend, Shaggy. He is shown to have a close relationship with him and they often have arguments but they manage to make up, nonetheless.

Scooby is friendly, caring, and compassionate. He is willing to put aside his phobias and worries to help out a friend in need. When Hansel told Scooby and the gang, how he wants to help more people in need with his inventions and how his kingdom will turn out, if he's arrested and taken into custody for life. Also, in an act of selflessness, Scooby pushed Hansel out of the way when the rat monster was about to maul him. In his first appearance, Scooby's own luck can help him defeat certain enemies. In the upcoming episodes, when Scooby has a personality shift, he'll defeat certain enemies on his own, which will show a some of his self-independence. Scooby is very funny, clumsy, worrisome and when he gets nervous, he'll scream or if a villain crudely taunts him, he'll laugh in a bizarre way, then scream and then run for his life.

### Physical appearance

Scooby is a slender Great-Dane with brown fur and black spots along with paw prints. He wears a blue-green color with a dog tag that his initials, "SB" on it.
