Kasem added that Shaggy in 2002 is "more frightened today than he was at the beginning." ear in all iterations of the franchise.haggy was originally voiced by Casey Kasem, who continued in the role for twenty-eight years. Kasem explained that the "voice dynamics" improved and that his laughs increasingly gained quality. Kasem stated that as he continued to voice Shaggy, the character evolved. Instead the network assigned Kasem to Shaggy and Welker to Fred. Kasem had wanted to portray Fred Jones, while Frank Welker had wanted to portray Shaggy.

Shaggy (as has Scooby) has shown himself to be capable of great feats of athleticism (including a running ability at times bordering on superhuman) through fear alone however, these abilities are mainly comical in nature and Shaggy only appears capable of said feats when in a state of panic. They are also experts in what is scary (both Shaggy and Scooby have been shown to use each other's fears in their competitions in stealing one another's food) due to their being craven cowards (in the episode " Camp Comeoniwannascareya" they use this knowledge to help a fellow camp counselor and the campers scare off the camp's greedy owner who wishes to turn the summer camp into a resort only for adults). Both Shaggy and Scooby are adept runners, have become skilled contortionists due to learning to hide in small places, experts at building barricades from various kinds of furniture and other household objects (even designing one to be collapsible just in case they need to use the barricaded door/entrance as an escape route from the monster/villain).

His favorite dish is "Extra Cheese Pizza with Pickles" as revealed in the TV movie Scooby-Doo! Abracadabra-Doo. They justify their constant hunger by saying, "Being in a constant state of terror makes us constantly hungry!".

He is the only Scooby-Doo character (besides Scooby) to shaggy's distinct personality is evident in his speech pattern commonly due to his frequent use of punctuating his sentences with the word "like", and his appearance-he is lanky, with sandy hair worn in a shaggy style (hence his nickname) and a rough goatee with no mustache, typically sporting a green t-shirt and brown bell bottoms.
