History[]
Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?[]
Season two[]
The caveman was the disguise of an unnamed ski instructor, who used it to scare others away from a ski resort so he could locate the Boxing Billy Bluebird, a crashed mail plane rumoured to contain bearer bonds. The disguise was based on a frozen caveman revealed by an avalanche and discovered by Mystery Inc. The ski instructor stole the caveman from the resort's freezer, then created a disguise to impersonate the caveman and terrorize the skiers. The caveman was first seen attacking Shaggy, Scooby, and snowboarder Chloe Kim while they were searching the freezer for a late-night snack. The caveman later attacked Mystery Inc. at the ski patrol quarters.
The ski instructor unmasked.
Later, when Mystery Inc. found the crash site of the Boxing Billy Bluebird, the caveman attacked them to acquire the bearer bonds. However, he struck the metal plane with his club, triggering an avalanche which tore the plane in two. Kim separated from Mystery Inc. and dragged the airplane tail with her as she snowboarded on a half-pipe, tying the caveman to the tail. After Mystery Inc. safely stopped the front half of the aircraft from crashing, they unmasked the captured caveman, exposing the ski instructor for his crimes and handing him over to authorities.
