Biography[]
Norville "Shaggy" Rogers was a young man from Coolsville, who was usually depicted wearing a loose green shirt and bell-bottom pants. He was the owner of a Great Dane named Scooby-Doo, and was a reluctant member of a group of amateur sleuths who called themselves Mystery Incorporated. As the least ambitious member of the group, both Shaggy and Scooby exist in a state of perpetual fear, as well as hunger. They are the last ones to willingly enter a haunted house, and are the first ones to break into a mad dash in order to get away from one.
