Five main characters make this show what it is. Scooby-Doo, a talking Great Dane, and Shaggy, a lanky goof, are the funny ones who are always hungry. Freddy, Velma, and Daphne are the ones who do most of the work. Freddy is the brave leader of the gang, Daphne is often the damsel in distress, and Velma is the smart one who is as blind as a bat without her glasses. Although Scooby and Shaggy are always terrified, they are the ones who end up stumbling across an important clue.
