The Screaming Skulls of London were the disguise of the security guard and the beefeater.
Physical appearance[]
The Screaming Skulls of London are a monster consisting of a group of skulls surrounded by flames. The skulls are varying shades of green, save for the teeth, which are white. Each skull has one tooth missing, is slightly smaller than a human skull, and either rotates or orbits around the monster. They surround a large green flame.
Personality[]
The Screaming Skulls of London were a monster targeting the crown jewels in the Tower of London, and appeared hostile to those interfering with its operations. Having little means to significantly harm any of its victims, the skulls relied heavily on intimidation to deter investigators. The skulls chased their victims with a high-pitched, vibrato "oo" and left targets with threats when conflict would be inefficient. However, once obtaining the crown jewels, the skulls attempted to evade conflict and escape pursuit.
Powers and abilities[]
The Screaming Skulls of London are a specialized tunnelling vehicle disguised with a holographic projection. As such, the monster is capable of digging underground and into buildings very efficiently, and although it makes a significant noise, the noise can be masked with the monster's laughter. This allows the monster to appear and disappear very quickly and suddenly.
Also, strangely, the skulls appear to have the ability to "consume" victims, surrounding their target and causing them to disappear. In reality, this is entirely staged, as in both cases the "victims" were accomplices in the crime; to create the illusion of a kidnapping, the victim willingly enters the vehicle to "disappear."
As the skulls are a vehicle, they cannot traverse water; upon falling into a significant body of water, they will sink and be unable to move.
History[]
Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?[]
Season one[]
An unnamed security guard and beefeater wanted to steal the crown jewels in the Tower of London, so they disguised a tunnelling vehicle as the Screaming Skulls of London using a holographic projection. This would allow them to dig underground throughout the city of London. The skulls were first shown chasing the Mystery Machine into the fountain of Trafalgar Square.
The security guard and beefeater are revealed as the culprits.
The skulls later encountered Mystery Inc. in the underground tube system before reaching the Tower of London and stealing fake jewels they believed to be the real jewels. However, they were chased off the London Bridge by Fred Jones and fell off the bridge into the river. The monster was captured and the two perpetrators were exposed and handed to authorities.

Notes/Trivia[]
- The skulls laugh just like the Spooky Space Kook from the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! episode Spooky Space Kook.
