He is given the name (or nickname) "Sammy" in all French dubs of the animated movies. {| class="toc" id="toc"

[edit] Character
Shaggy's speech pattern includes punctuating his sentences with the word "like", and his appearance—he is lanky, with shaggy brown hair and a rough goatee (no moustache, though), and typically wears a green T-shirt and brown bell bottoms.

Both Shaggy and Scooby-Doo are readily bribed with Scooby Snacks due to their nearly insatiable appetites, and have tendencies toward goofing off and cowardice. They justify their constant hunger by saying, "Being in a constant state of terror makes us constantly hungry!".
