Top 10 Times the Scooby Gang Went Beast Mode

“Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!” (1969-70)
During “A Creepy Tangle in the Bermuda Triangle”, the Mystery Inc gang found themselves running for their lives from a bunch of nefarious skeleton men. At one point during a boat chase, they almost caught Shaggy and Scooby! But what should’ve spelled doom for them proved only to be a slight inconvenience for the great dane. To gain speed, Scooby started to run on water while simultaneously lifting Shaggy and the boat up and away from their pursuers. It’s already wild to see a big dog running on water. However, it’s far more impressive to see Scooby carrying the entirety of the boat while doing it. Does the team really need the mystery machine to travel if their iconic dog can do this?

There’s lifting people up emotionally, and then there’s lifting them up physically. When a frozen caveman the gang uncovered was thawed out, they were understandably startled to see him! The enemy wasn’t exactly thrilled to find them either. It was at that moment that the gang all collectively decided to hop onto Velma. Not only does she carry the combined weight of all her friends, but she runs ahead of someone who could’ve been Fred Flinstone’s neighbor! When did the intelligent Velma get so strong? Well, maybe those years of carrying all the books she read really helped her increase her core strength!

Saying that Scooby and Shaggy are easily frightened might be the understatement of the century. However, when the chips are down, you can always count on them to help a friend in need. When Daphne was being chased by Frankenstein’s monster, Scooby and Shaggy came to the rescue. After Fred set up a rope for them, the duo swung across a moat into a castle and lowered the drawbridge. They risked alligator bites and being chased by a werewolf in order to pull off the save. Scooby and Shaggy definitely deserved some Scooby snacks after this!

It’s not every day that the gang’s able to do the scaring. But as part of an elaborate plot, the Scooby crew dressed up exactly like the villain Mr. Hyde and sprang up on him at various points. For this episode, the antagonist was seeing more than just double! Frightened by looking at multiple versions of himself (and yeah that makes sense, Hyde’s not that much of a looker), he ended up falling right into their trap. We guess that all their experiences getting scared made them pros. Before you could say the word boo, Hyde was wrapped up in a mattress and defeated. Seeing the monsters get their just desserts isn’t anything new. But having the gang get to scare them is a well-deserved change!

“What’s New, Scooby-Doo?” (2002-06)
We’re not trying to cast doubt on Fred’s trap-making abilities. However, it’s no secret they don’t always work out at first. So when a creative trap actually went mostly according to plan, it was a nice change of pace. This rare moment came when the gang faced the Frozen Fiend. The icy villain tried sabotaging a high-stakes hockey game between the US and Russia. To stop this foe, Fred and Daphne hit the villain with water guns after Shaggy and Scooby provided a flashy distraction. The results ended up putting the ‘Frozen’ in the Frozen Fiend. And it was an utterly cool victory for Fred.

This is a feat as epic as it is weird. After Daphne comes into possession of a highly sought after gold mask, she is taken hostage by a villainous duo known as the Scare Pair. The henchmen happened to serve a Ghost that was actually a shady arts dealer named Mr. Fong. But Shaggy and Scooby definitely thought the apparition was the real deal when they first encountered him! They definitely made a memorable exit when Shaggy turned Scooby into a motorcycle and drove the two out of harm’s way. It’s good to know you can always count on the great dane to get you from point A to point B. However, we have to ask: does Shaggy have a license to operate a Scoobycycle?

After a mini golf attraction came to life as a giant killer robot, it naturally started eating people. Its rampage seemed unstoppable until Shaggy got swallowed. Without missing a beat, Velma made sure to avenge her fallen friend. She relentlessly attacked the metallic clown with a golf club. Velma’s strikes were so strong that she was actually able to knock the robot down. This was a brave moment that also allowed Velma to finally get over her fear of clowns. As a bonus, Shaggy tumbled out of the clown unharmed. Let this be a lesson to all evil-doers, nobody messes with Velma’s friends!

When a dragon was seemingly terrorizing Hong Kong, Fred’s quick thinking saved everyone. He decided to take Shaggy’s favorite toy duck and had it seriously upgraded. In their time of need, Duck Guy transformed into a gigantic weaponized warrior. It came complete with armor, water blasters and even cup holders! Duck Guy would end up being the difference maker for the gang in a fight against a dragon. He was also able to draw the beast out long enough for the fiery being to get fatally struck by a firework. By rushing into battle, he definitely earned his status as an honorary member of the crew. Hey Fred, any chance that you can upgrade one of our old toys?

“Batman: The Brave and the Bold” (2008-11)
During an episode of “Batman: The Brave and the Bold”, the Dynamic Duo joined forces with Mystery Inc in a hilarious crossover. Getting to see the gang chumming it up with Batman and Robin is always an absolute treat. But what made this even more special was when Shaggy and Scooby got to help fight Batman’s colorful rogues gallery. Thanks to a boost from an extra dimensional being, the duo magically got fighting skills. While Scooby takes the penguin out, Shaggy lays out the Joker. It’s a common joke that Shaggy’s an all-powerful character. But if he’s able to take down the Joker, there might be some truth there. If Batman ever needs a new Robin, Shaggy might be a good choice!

“Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated” (2010-13)
“Mystery Incorporated” wasn’t just another well-done “Scooby Doo” show, it was also the first to have the gang save the entire universe! When Professor Pericles became possessed by an evil entity known as, well, the Evil Entity, he sought to destroy reality. It was up to Mystery Inc to step up and stop them. They ruined the Evil Entity’s plot by locating the mystical Heart of the Jaguar and having Scooby plunge it into a crystal sarcophagus. This destroyed the Evil Entity and created a new timeline for everyone. While the Mystery Inc gang has pulled off plenty of impressive saves, they’ve never quite accomplished anything at this scale before! We think they all deserve a lifetime supply of scooby snacks for this.
