The Loch Ness Monster that was terrorizing Blake Castle was both a real monster and three different vehicles operated by Prof. Fiona Pembrooke and her accomplices Angus and Colin Haggart.
Physical appearance[]
The fake Loch Ness Monster was a large brown dragon-like monster with glowing red eyes and a deep gray underbelly.
The real Loch Ness Monster was olive green and Plesiosaur-like, with a fish-like end to its tail, and several bony craters in places.
Personality[]
It was wrathful, destructive and vicious and could swim underwater or walk on land.
Of course, this was Penbrooke's machine's doing. What seems to be the real Loch Ness Monster seen at the movie's end, it was seen swimming peacefully at the lake near the Mystery Machine. If this was the real Loch Ness Monster and, if it were amphibious as some versions had regarded him, and as well, if it truly being violent and dangerous, it could have gone to land to attack the unsuspecting crew, but it did not.
While it not must necessary harmless, as the creature may hunt, but merely to feed (if it even were carnivorous at all), the behavior the creature displayed was more of a benign and passive creature that, as long it is not disturbed, it has no reason to put human life on danger.
History[]
Scooby-Doo! and the Loch Ness Monster[]
Water-going version[]
The water-going version was a disguised submarine attached to the bottom of Penbrooke's research boat. She could get into it from a hatch in her boat and pilot it around the Loch.
First land-going version[]
There was additional evidence of the reality of the Loch Ness Monster: the damage it did around the Blake Castle and the footprints it left. That damage was done by a land-going robot operated by the Haggart brothers, hired by Professor Pembrooke.
Second land-going version[]
Later, Penbrooke hired the same two brothers to steal Del Chillman's van and disguise it as a second land-going version of the Loch Ness Monster.
All of this was done to convince Sir Ian Locksley that Nessie was real so he would take her photos seriously. The brothers did it more as a prank than for the money.
Real[]
When the gang drove away from Scotland, Scooby caught what appeared to be the real Loch Ness Monster splashing in and out of the water.

Notes/trivia[]
- The land-walking version appeared at the end to be made of logs and canvas, but this is impossible. It must have been a robot to have the mobility and destructive power it demonstrated. Of course, this is counting the budget Penbrooke must have had to create it. Creating the submarine already must had been incredibly expensive, so it cast doubts on this, and as well, it is unlikely the Haggart Brothers could have afforded such amount without their father discovering the secret plot (if they even had enough money to begin with). And lastly, but not least important, such robot of destructive capabilities would have costed millions, and months, if not years, of testing to make it properly work.
- Alternatively, this could had been the real Loch Lake Monster, having gone to land and chased the Mystery Machine. While it looked like Penbrooke's submarine, it was at night, and this would have helped to hide the (apparently) real Loch Lake Monster's green-colored scales. The reason from which the Loch Ness Monster would have been on land at that moment is unknown, but this would explain the land-walking version's destructive power; the Loch Ness Monster would be incredibly strong physically to will stand breaking through trees and houses while chasing the Mystery Machine. But at the end, it disappeared, leaving Loch Ness Monster made of logs and canvas behind. This could mean that, aside from merely been seeing as a pre-historical creature, and beyond being that entirely, it could mean that is cunning, if not, straightly smart, perhaps, it would the same intelligence a human would have (if not, more so), as it knew that it needed to back to the lake to hid away.
- Land version looks to be Nothosaurus.
- The real Nessie we get a glimpse of at the end has a similar appearance to a Sturgeon. Which some Nessie believers and most skeptics think one of the identities of the monster is, a large species of sturgeon. Though recent eDNA tests done in 2019 suggest Nessie is likely a large species of eel. Since sturgeons and eels are some of the few animals known to frequent the loch.
