Shaggy


 * This article is about the Fighter. For other uses, see Shaggy (Disambiguation).

Norville Rogers, better known by his nickname, , is a Fighter from the Scooby-Doo Universe in MultiVersus.

Origin
Norville "Shaggy" Rogers is one of the core members of Mystery Inc., the amateurish crime-solving group of friends from the Scooby-Doo franchise. He's a lanky, somewhat of a hippy, laid back and cowardice teenager with a monstruous hunger and love for Scooby Snacks. He's also well known for using the word "like" during his speeches a lot, being the owner and best friend of the titular Scooby-Doo, the talking Great Dane, and shouting "ZOINKS!" whenever he's scared. It should also be noted that Shaggy's overall moveset and personality in MultiVersus have been greatly influenced by the famous Ultra Instinct Shaggy memes that began spreading across the internet in 2017. The memes featured Shaggy going "Super Saiyan", a reference to Shueisha's popular manga and anime series Dragon Ball. The meme itself was also inspired by a scene from the 2011 direct-to-DVD animated movie ''Scooby-Doo! Legend of the Phantosaur'', in which a hypnotized Shaggy manages to beat up an entire biker gang all by himself.

Official Biography
"Just a normal sandwich-munching, mystery-solving guy with limitless power of unknown origin."

The last thing Shaggy remembers before The Change was exploring another spooky old mansion with his pal Scoob, just like any other day with the gang. He found a strange glowing crystal and, thinking it was rock candy, went to take a bite. There was a FLASH… and then blackness. When he came to, he found himself in possession of incredible powers. He doesn’t know where they came from or how they work, but he’s vowed to use them to vanquish evil and protect the little guy. As soon as he gets some lunch, that is.

Default Variant
While Shaggy's default look is based on his general attire that he's usually portraited in throughout Scooby-Doo media, his overall design and "dot eyes" seem to be based on his appearance in the various Scooby-Doo movies and shorts produced by WB Animation.

Trivia

 * Earlier trailers and screenshots of the game depicted Shaggy incorrectly wearing blue pants instead of the red ones he's usually depicted in.
 * Shaggy's silhouette is used for the Random slot on the character select screen and for the Default Announcer Pack's icon.
 * Prior to the Season 1.03 Patch, Shaggy couldn't be unlocked via completing the Beginning Tutorial, however, he could've been bought with 700 Gleamium.
