The Evil Entity is the overarching villain of the series. He is an evil Anunnaki that was imprisoned for many centuries within a crystal sarcophagus, buried beneath Crystal Cove. Like other benevolent members of its race, he came to Earth thousands of years ago at the time of Nibiru, when an alignment weakened the barriers between dimensions and allowed them to cross over. While the other Anunnaki sought to help humankind grow, the Evil Entity desired only destruction and he was imprisoned into a crystal sarcophagus by the other Anunnaki. While imprisoned, the entity attempted to manipulate many mystery solvers throughout the centuries in hopes of setting him free. In the first series, notably Where Are You! and New Movies, a running gag is Velma's severe near-sightedness and her trouble with keeping her glasses on her face (usually after falling off while being chased by the villain). Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated (2010), in the episode "The Siren's Song", Fred and Daphne come across a statue of Scrappy in the Crystal Cove Haunted Museum among the statues of their defeated foes. Daphne remarks it's been awhile since she's seen him before Fred pulls her away, reminding her they all promised never to speak of him again. Professor Phantazmo (voiced by Alan Oppenheimer) is the ringmaster of the Circus of Horrors which is staffed by demons and monsters.

Ruby and Spears' second pass at the show used Dobie Gillis as the template for the teenagers rather than Archie. The treatment retained the dog Too Much, while reducing the number of teenagers to four, removing the Mike character and retaining Geoff, Kelly, Linda, and W.W. [7] As their personalities were modified, so were the characters' names: Geoff became "Ronnie" [10]—later renamed " Fred" (at Silverman's behest), [11] Kelly became " Daphne", Linda " Velma", and W.W. " Shaggy". The teens were now based on four teenage characters from The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis: Dobie Gillis, Thalia Menninger, Zelda Gilroy and Maynard G. Krebs, respectively.
