The Tome of Doom is an ancient mysterious book that had the ability to capture and release spirits, as long as if it has the correct pages to do so. It serves as Scooby and Shaggy's primary weapon.
The book was found and displayed at the Hambridge University Library, however a librarian agent of ShermanTech, a company that also owns Greenwood Development, named Walter Peabody, stole the Tome of Doom and hid it in the basement, while also creating a fake replica to put on display, instead. He also ripped out several of its pages and sent them to his buyer Selena Drake who sent them to different locations. She sent some to Robert Zabrinski, who was trying to buy the Milton Brothers Movie Studio, to Mindi Stiles, who was at the Gold Mountain Western Theme Park and an unknown Greenwood Development agent at a creepy bayou. They were used to release spirits and monsters there so they could scare away the owners, letting Sherman-Tech (Greenwood Development) buy the land and use it to build giant antennas which would be used for mind-control. However, a Mystery Inc. managed to stop them by finding the Tome of Doom and all its pages, capturing all the monsters and putting an end to ShermanTech's plot.
Abilities[]
The Tome of Doom can release and capture monsters. Though it is not known how it releases monsters, it captures monsters by deploying a ghostly hand from its pages and pulling them in as long as the book is open; however, it needs wisps in order to work. Should it run out of magic or does not have the right page, it is ineffective. The book can also pull wisps towards it if opened. If Shaggy and Scooby are attacked, close the book, or run out of magic while using the book, it will lose its grip on the monster. Another downside is that the Tome of Doom cannot capture anything that is not a monster, as it has no effect on the Fake Ghost, crocodiles, human enemies, and the brainwashed Fred, Daphne, and Velma.
