Scoobypedia

The Opera Ogre was the disguise of William Bluster.

Physical appearance[]

The Opera Ogre had the appearance of a large man with messy brown hair, a disfigured face and ruined teeth. He wears a medieval style outfit consisting of a brown neck ruff, a green shirt, dark green pants and brown boots.

Personality[]

He was hostile, malicious and cruel, almost setting the theater ablaze, chasing people around and nearly getting Shaggy and Scooby killed in a fall.

Powers and abilities[]

The Opera Ogre had great acrobatic skills as he could swing from high ropes.

History[]

The ogre was first mentioned about by Mr. Samuels, owner of the Coolsville Opera House, where he swung down from the rafters wielding a torch, smoke appeared everywhere and everyone evacuated the area, except for Paul Noble, the lead singer of the Viking Voyage.

The ogre then proceeded to target the gang after casting his shadow on the wall to scare them, first "summoning" a group of Ghost Viking Warriors to scare away Fred and the girls, which they shortly discover them to be puppets, he then went after Shaggy and Scooby while they were goofing off in the costume room, chasing them to the upper levels of the theater before sending them almost plummeting to the ground below, but they were saved by the sail of the Viking boat and immediately chased by a mummy they saw earlier. He then proceeded to prevent Fred and the others from helping the two by trying to drop sandbags on them.

After the gang got together, they created a successful trap by having Shaggy and Scooby act out on stage to lure him down a hallway, but in the last second, they turned the other way just for the ogre to crash through a canvas wall designed like the hallway, and he got snagged by a rope dropped by Fred.

The ogre turned out to be Paul's understudy William Bluster, who secretly hated Paul for getting the lead role in the play. So he disguised himself as the Ogre and used stage effects, like the supposed fire he almost caused to scare everyone out, which would give him enough time to kidnap, tie him up in rolls of paper and lock him up in a closet so he could take over the role. Bluster was taken to jail by the police and the show was able to continue the following day.
