Beware the Beast from Below is the first episode of the first season of Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated.
Premise
After being jailed for solving a mystery, the gang stumbles upon yet another case: a slime mutant that lives underneath Crystal Cove is cocooning anyone who gets in its way. Despite being warned not to continue investigating by their parents and authority figures the gang attempt to solve the mystery anyway.
Synopsis
It's high fives all around as the gang have just solved another mystery. They plan on celebrating, but they aren't going anywhere, as Sheriff Stone locks them in a jail cell for not only interfering, but because they're upstaging him. He tells them he's going to call all their parents, whom he now has on speed dial, especially Fred's, the mayor's son.

Locations
Notes/trivia
- This is the series premiere of Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated.
- While this is an origin to Mystery Inc., the series is a reboot outside of standard continuity.[1] Any connection that can be made is intended as a homage and nothing more.
- This was originally aired as a sneak peak on April 5, 2010; it officially aired 12 July 2010.
- UK premiere date: 25th October, 2010.
- In standard continuity, the gang's surnames weren't revealed until more than ten years after their first appearance, here they'll already revealed in the opening sequence.
- Daphne's older sisters appear (in cameos) for the first time: Daisy, Dawn, Dorothy and Delilah.
- Shaggy mentions that the night before he had fallen asleep watching a Vincent Van Ghoul movie, referencing the original incarnation of the character from The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo.
- One of the tourists (voiced by Jeff Bennett) following Velma resembles Don Knotts. Don Knotts appeared as himself on The New Scooby-Doo Movies.
- In the scene where the Slime Mutant corners Daphne by the door, the framing of their faces in the shot is an homage to Aliens 3 where the Alien corners Ripley.
Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches
- The first time Shaggy and Scooby are in their disguises, Shaggy's eyebrows are red like his wig. Also, when Scooby complains about his skirt, his eyebrows are yellow, while also flashing black.
- When the gang awkwardly respond to Raffalo's not being paid well, their body movements don't completely match their voices.
Inconstitencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities
- None of the people in Velma's tour group are actually tourists. Either they all decided to move there afterwards or they all just happened to be new in town. It's also possible that they had just never taken it before. However, the two that talk are credited as tourists.
- Before walking into Fruitmeir's, Daphne's carrying a handbag around her arm which presumably contains Shaggy and Scooby's belongings, then when she enters, her handbag is gone and she's just holding said belongings.
- There's clearly something dodgy going on, as Franklin doesn't even know what his own dessert is made of, and the large storage room in the back of Fruitmeir's contains six barrels with radiation symbols on them, and many more smaller containers with that symbol.
