Animation not to feature Scooby in that series due to his marketability towards children as well as a failure for the writers to find an adult take on the character. Scooby-Doo does not appear in the adult animated series Velma premiered due to mandates from Warner Bros. Shaggy is the only regular character that appears in every iteration of the franchise Fred, Daphne, and Velma were temporarily dropped following the introduction of Scrappy-Doo and aside from a brief reintroduction of Daphne in the mid-1980s wouldn't reappear until A Pup Named Scooby-Doo. However, on occasion, he shows courage when his friends are in serious danger. This was explained in the Legend of the Phantosaur as a possible type of panic disorder. Normally, Shaggy becomes extremely scared when faced with monsters or other frightening situations, usually displaying cowardice to a much greater degree than any other character except for Scooby. For example, after being scared in Scooby-Doo! Camp Scare, he shakes the iron bars of an old-fashioned jail cell so hard that they collapse. Shaggy is capable of impressive feats of athleticism when he is scared however, these abilities are usually only used for comedy, with Shaggy only being capable of such feats when panicked. He has been shown, in some instances, to be able to run even faster than Scooby, even when the dog is running on all fours. In 'Bedlam in the Big Top', he says he used to run track, and in 'What a Night for a Knight' he states that he was a gymnast – both of which explain his uncanny skills in quickly evading villains. The episode 'A Clue for Scooby-Doo' from his debut series Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! revealed that his taste for unlikely foods (such as chocolate-covered hot dogs and liverwurst 'a la mode') is a consequence of a young Shaggy receiving a garbage disposal unit for his first toy. However, in Scooby-Doo: Behind the Scenes, it is stated by Fred that the real reason Shaggy is so skinny is because he is a vegetarian (a reference to Casey Kasem's veganism). In Scooby-Doo! and the Monster of Mexico, it is revealed by Fred that the reason Shaggy eats so much (while maintaining his slender physique) is his 'high metabolism'.

Shaggy's favorite meal is an 'extra cheese pizza with pickles,' as revealed in the TV film Scooby-Doo! Abracadabra-Doo.

He and Scooby justify their hunger by insisting that 'Being in a constant state of terror makes us constantly hungry!' in Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island. Like his dog Scooby, Shaggy is often bribed with Scooby Snacks due to his large appetite and love for food. In The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo and early made-for-TV films, he wore a red V-neck and blue jeans. His signature attire consists of a baggy green V-neck T-shirt, loose maroon or brown bell-bottom pants, and black shoes. In the show, he is the only protagonist with facial hair, which consists of a rough goatee. Shaggy has a characteristic speech pattern marked by his frequent use of the filler word 'like' and a pubescent voice that often cracks. He is generally depicted as cowardly, lazy, an amateur detective, and the long-time best friend of his cowardly dog, Scooby-Doo. Norville 'Shaggy' Rogers is a fictional character and one of the main characters in the Scooby-Doo franchise.
