Although usually considered a coward, Shaggy often proves useful in ferreting out the "''monsters''" and "''ghosts''" that are usually at the heart of the gang's mysteries, sometimes inadvertently, and sometimes by reluctantly acting as "''live bait''" for a trap, providing a necessary distraction for their eventual capture. Shaggy also has disguise and ventriloquism skills, as well as being athletic, which often helps the gang; in the episode ''[[What A Night For A Knight]]'', Daphne says that he is the best gymnast in school, and he has also mentioned that he ran track. He has even dressed up as Daphne and Scooby on at least one occasion (usually for Halloween or something similar.) He is even capable of doing certain vocal impressions, from the [[Ghost of Redbeard (Go Away Ghost Ship)|Ghost of Redbeard]] (''[[Go Away Ghost Ship]]'') to even a train in a tunnel (''[[Mine Your Own Business (Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!)|Mine Your Own Business]]''). He is also able to fly a plane, however he got lost and flew to the Himalayas instead of Hawaii. (''[[To All the Ghouls I've Loved Before (episode)|To All the Ghouls I've Loved Before]]'')

“ Did he just call me a hippy? ”

—Shaggy, Big Top Scooby-Doo!

Norville[1] "Shaggy" Rogers[2] is a member of Mystery Inc., and the owner and best friend of their team's mascot: Scooby-Doo, a talking Great Dane.

Physical appearance

Shaggy is a lanky, Caucasian teenaged male; he is fairly light for his age—even Velma Dinkley can pick him up with her own hands. He seems to have a very long neck. He usually wears a green V-neck shirt, brown bell-bottom pants, and black platforms, but he is sometimes seen in a red v-neck shirt and blue-colored pants. He also has whiskers on his chin. During his time as a werewolf, his irises are bluish green.[3].

Personality

Both Shaggy and Scooby-Doo have nearly insatiable appetites, as well as tendencies towards goofing off and cowardice. But Scooby Snacks usually satisfy them. Due to these similarities, Shaggy typically treats Scooby as a normal person rather than his pet. Shaggy uses his catch phrase "Zoinks!" whenever he's surprised or scared, which is frequently. He is sometimes encouraged by Shaggy Snacks. Although Shaggy enjoys a variety of food, he has been a vegetarian for much of his life.

Skills and abilities

Although usually considered a coward, Shaggy often proves useful in ferreting out the "monsters" and "ghosts" that are usually at the heart of the gang's mysteries, sometimes inadvertently, and sometimes by reluctantly acting as "live bait" for a trap, providing a necessary distraction for their eventual capture. Shaggy also has disguise and ventriloquism skills, as well as being athletic, which often helps the gang; in the episode What a Night for a Knight, Daphne says that he is the best gymnast in school, and he has also mentioned that he ran track. He has even dressed up as Daphne and Scooby on at least one occasion (usually for Halloween or something similar.) He is even capable of doing certain vocal impressions, from the Ghost of Redbeard (Go Away Ghost Ship) to even a train in a tunnel (Mine Your Own Business). He is also able to fly a plane, however he got lost and flew to the Himalayas instead of Hawaii. (To All the Ghouls I've Loved Before)

Shaggy also has an enormous appetite, and is able to eat and eat.... and eat.

Romantic interests

There have been instances where Shaggy has noticed and gained the attention from the opposite sex over the years.

Occupation

Being only an amateur sleuth doesn't pay the bills, so Shaggy has had to find a source of income (and sometimes a profession if the gang decide to part ways for a while), and has taken on a variety of different jobs through his life. This is a list of them:

Additionally, he once volunteered at a zoo. (WNSD: Uncle Scooby and Antarctica)

Behind the scenes

The inspiration for the character came from Maynard G. Krebs, a hippy character played by Bob Denver in the early 60s sitcom, The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis.

Voices of Shaggy

Casey Kasem played Shaggy for a time where he was portrayed as a vegetarian, by request of Kasem, who is a vegan. In the past, Shaggy had a tendency to overeat and eat anything he could. Kasem disagreed with this portrayal, and in 1995 he walked out on the role when Shaggy and Scooby-Doo were to be portrayed in a Burger King commercial. He also did this because the producers of Scooby Doo would not turn Shaggy into a vegan, which Kasem is. Therefore he quit, later to rejoin the crew when they allowed Shaggy to be a vegan, only ten years later, in the series What's New, Scooby-Doo?.

On a series of Peter Pan Records read-along book-and-audio sets from the late 1970s, Duncan Robertson voiced Shaggy, while the other cast members of the show reprised their roles for the records.

Scott Innes and Billy West briefly took over the role in several of the direct-to-video films produced in the late 1990s and early 2000s. From 2010, Matthew Lillard had been selected to voice Shaggy Rogers, having previously played the role in the 2002 and 2004 live-action films.

In other languages

Shaggy is well-known around the world, in several countries. His name is Sammy Rogers in French, Bozont Rogers in Hungarian and Kudłaty[4] Rogers in Polish versions of Scooby-Doo.
