The Anunnaki are a race of creatures living in another dimension. Every few thousand years, during an event called Nibiru, the barrier between their world and Earth grows weak, allowing the Anunnaki to visit Earth.
Some of them are good and tend to help humans, while others are evil. It was revealed that the sarcophagus buried beneath Crystal Cove contains the most evil of Anunnaki.
The Anunnaki have no physical forms, so they have to inhabit various animals' bodies, thus being responsible for mythological figures such as the Egyptian gods, China's Monkey King, and the Aztec Quetzalcoatl, among others. It is revealed that the animals that can talk are descendants of the Anunnaki. Scooby Doo is one of them.
Those who are descendants have a longer lifespan than normal animals and have more intelligence like that of humans.
If an Anunnaki were to be destroyed, its presence would be retroactively erased from history, and only the other Anunnaki and those close to them would remember the destroyed ones.

History

Season two
An Anunnaki possessed Nova while she was in a coma and spoke to Scooby-Doo in his dreams. She tells him about the time of Nibiru and how their race helped humanity over the years. But she warns him of the Evil Entity sealed below Crystal Cove and urges Scooby to destroy it and its curse. (Stand and Deliver)
Nova reveals how the Entity manipulated a group of four humans and an animal to set him free and instructs them to find the Heart of the Jaguar to destroy the Entity. (Nightmare in Red)
When the Entity was freed, he opened a portal from the sarcophagus, and many Anunnaki minions came forth and rounded up many townspeople for their master to feast upon. When Scooby destroyed the sarcophagus, all the minions and the Entity itself were sucked into the void and destroyed.
When the new timeline was created, Nova (still possessed) thanked Scooby, saying he's the bravest dog of all, as he and his friends left home. (Come Undone)
