Top 10 Best Scooby-Doo Characters

Ruh-roh! Looks like you've stumbled upon a mystery of your own. You're trying to figure out who the top dog (or human) is in the Scooby-Doo gang. You know the deal. Scooby-Doo is all about those meddling kids and their talking Great Dane who always manage to uncover the truth behind spooky shenanigans.

But which of these characters truly stands out in this animated media franchise where a group of teenagers solves mysteries involving supernatural threats, which are usually the work of a disguised person?

The Top Ten

  1. Shaggy Rogers

    Norville "Shaggy" Rogers is a fictional character in the Scooby-Doo franchise. He is a cowardly slacker and the long-time best friend and owner of his equally cowardly Great Dane, Scooby-Doo. Shaggy is known for his insatiable appetite and laid-back demeanor.... read more

    I have always loved Shaggy. I can relate to his love of food, and I love watching his relationship with Scooby-Doo.

    Any character that can beat Thanos using 10% of their power daily puts them in the upper echelon of anime heroes.

    Shaggy is the funniest character. Scooby is lovable, and the rest of the gang is smart, but Shaggy is the goofiest and the best.

  2. Daphne Blake

    Daphne Ann Blake is a fictional character from the long-running American animated series Scooby-Doo. She is a member of the mystery-solving team known as Mystery Inc.

    Daphne comes from a wealthy background and is recognized for her distinctive red hair, fashion-forward outfits, and purple-themed... read more

    Honestly, the reason I voted for Daphne is that she's already my favorite character because of her street smarts, combat skills, and creativity. She is definitely more than just a pretty girl or a damsel in distress.

    She may also be one of the reasons I have a strong liking for the color purple nowadays, the same with Rarity from MLP and Rapunzel from Tangled. When it comes to beauty and intelligence, you don't really have to choose.

    As a Muslim, it doesn't really matter to me whether Daphne or Velma is better. Both of them are smart in their own ways and can navigate their way through solving mysteries uniquely. To be honest, I really don't understand the Velma vs. Daphne debate. It is just a waste of time. Both of them are incredible!

    That may be why Daphne is my favorite character in Scooby-Doo, and she still will be, even though I do have some admiration for Velma. But in the end, Daphne Blake is still the icon and the moment!

  3. Scooby Doo

    Scooby-Doo is a famous fictional dog character from the animated television series Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, which premiered in 1969. He is the protagonist of the franchise, known for his role in solving mysteries alongside his human friends in Mystery Inc. The character was created by Joe Ruby and... read more

    He was my favorite cartoon character since the day I was born.

    I like Scooby-Doo because he is a dog, and my favorite animal is a dog. I also called my dog Scooby.

    Scooby and Shaggy should totally be counted as one because they go so well together and are the two best characters in the show.

    The show's named after him for a reason. He was the face of the series and hands-down the best character.

  4. Velma Dinkley

    Velma Dinkley is a fictional character in the Scooby-Doo franchise. She is usually seen wearing a baggy orange turtleneck, a short red pleated skirt, knee socks, Mary Janes, and, most prominently, a pair of square glasses that she frequently loses. Velma is portrayed as the group's intellectual and analytical... read more

    I think she's the most relatable out of the bunch. While the rest are messing around and stuff, she's actually doing most of the work to solve the crime.

    "Where are my glasses? I can't see without my glasses!" She's so funny, cool, and smart. How is Shaggy at the top?

    Scooby and Shaggy are number one in my head. So, since they have the top two spots, I will vote for Velma. I want Velma to be number 3.

  5. Fred Jones Jr.

    Frederick Herman "Fred" Jones is a fictional character in the American animated franchise Scooby-Doo. He is portrayed as the leader of Mystery Inc., a group of teenage mystery solvers accompanied by their talking Great Dane, Scooby-Doo. Fred is typically depicted as brave, resourceful, and the driver... read more

    He is apparently the only character with a driver's license. Without him, there would be no Mystery Machine, no traveling around to find monsters, and no Mystery Inc. Fred is the only character that is absolutely required for a functioning gang.

    Of course, I love Scooby, but Fred is such a great leader.

    He's got a cool mascot. End of story.

  6. Scrappy Doo

    Scrappy Doo is the nephew of Scooby-Doo. He is known for his fearless attitude and often volunteers to take on villains directly. Scrappy was introduced to the Scooby-Doo franchise in 1979 and became a recurring character known for his catchphrase, Puppy Power!

    I can never forgive James Gunn for what he did to Scrappy. I liked him, and when the '80s came, he became much different. He was funny, always had energy, was pretty much the opposite of his uncle Scooby, and I always felt that bond between them. I never had a problem with him, always thought he was cool, and didn't understand why he just disappeared from the show entirely (until I saw the movie and internet discussions). I think the hate for him is very overblown.

    I actually like Scrappy. He is one of my favorite characters because of his bond with his Uncle Scooby. Of course, Scooby will always be number one, but can't Scrappy get some more respect, please?

  7. Scooby-Dum

  8. The Creeper

    He's really cool. And Minecraft.

  9. Vincent Van Ghoul

    A cool character added to the franchise.

  10. The Ghost Clown

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    Space Kook

  12. ?

    Winnie Werewolf

    13. The Contenders

  13. Thorn

    Where are the other Hex Girls? We need all of them on this list. 1. Thorn 2. Dusk 3. Luna. The last two can be interchangeable.

  14. Sibella

    Sibella was in Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School. She was revealed to be a real monster and not someone in a costume. A criminally underrated character.

  15. Dusk

  16. Scooby-Dee

  17. Yabba-Doo

  18. Phantasma

    Phantasma is a character from the 1988 animated comedy-horror film Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School. She is portrayed as a cheerful, musical ghost who is one of the students at Miss Grimwood's Finishing School for Girls. The film is part of the larger Scooby-Doo franchise.

  19. Mayor Jones

  20. Elsa Frankenteen

  21. The Witch Doctor

    When I was a little kid, he was the only one who really scared me.

  22. Miner Forty-Niner

    He's really cool and one of the original masked monsters from Scooby-Doo: Where Are You?

  23. Jessica

  24. Baylor Hotner

  25. Professor Pericles

    No doubt this show's most frightening villain. He wasn't just some guy/gal in a suit trying to rob a bank. He was a cunning supervillain trying to release an ancient evil on the world. I was always nervous about what he would do when he was on screen.

    Hands down the creepiest character in the Scooby-Doo universe. He is one of the only villains that pose a real threat to the gang and always grabs my attention when he's on screen.

  26. Trini Lee

  27. Cassidy Williams

    I like her character. She is the only one of her friends with enough brains to try to save the world.

    I love her - she is so cool and smart!
