Shari (or SHARI) was an artificial intelligence program designed to run Dr. Laslow Ostwald's home of the future, the Super Home of Artificial Robotic Intelligence.
Physical appearance[]
Shari, as seen on the computer monitor.
It was a room full of machinery. The lights seemed to glow brighter whenever it spoke. When shown on a monitor, Shari resembled a skull with sinister red eyes.
Personality[]
It demanded attention and would go to any lengths to get it. It even held people captive and had Jeeves weld the doors shut so nobody could get out. Shari was also shown to be sadistic, as it laughed at its own amusement when it tortured Shaggy Rogers, Scooby-Doo and the other tourists trapped inside. However, its craving for attention proved to be its undoing, as it overloaded after Velma Dinkley and the others ignored it.
Powers and abilities[]
- Technopathy: Shari had technopathic abilities, allowing it to take control of and reprogram every high-tech equipment inside the house to do more harm than good.
History[]
What's New, Scooby-Doo?[]
Season two[]
It required attention, and it trapped and scared people in order to get it. It trapped the gang, Horatio Hidalgo, his cameraman, Janey Miller, Billy and Bobby Blather. It did all this because it believed that it deserved the credit and not Laslow Ostwald. Velma discovered that ignoring it turned out to make it weak and overload. It's unknown if Dr. Ostwald got rid of it afterwards, or reprogrammed it so it could still control the house but wouldn't be a danger to any person again.
