A few months ago, the Shaggy meme was taking the Internet by storm. For the uninitiated, the Shaggy meme was where Shaggy Rogers from Scooby-Doo was said to be absurdly powerful with powers incomprehensible to the human mind. A satire site then created a petition to add Shaggy to Mortal Kombat 11, but what started as yet another Shaggy meme joke quickly blew up, with the petition sitting at over 375,000 signatures at the time of this writing.

What made the petition to bring to Shaggy to Mortal Kombat 11 interesting was that Warner Bros. has both the Mortal Kombat franchise and Scooby-Doo under its umbrella. So while still an extremely unlikely possibility, it gave fans hope that Shaggy in Mortal Kombat 11 could become a reality. However, game director Ed Boon dashed those hopes by outright saying Shaggy wouldn't be in the game, but that hasn't stopped him from teasing Mortal Kombat 11 fans on Twitter about it.

In a recent tweet, Ed Boon responded to a photo sent to him by YouTube personality Boogie2988 of a Shaggy cosplayer, where Boogie asked Boon if Shaggy could be in Mortal Kombat. Boon responded, "Oh wow, that's an idea. Maybe we should consider and discuss this? Do people want this? Hmmmm?"

Boon is clearly joking about considering Shaggy for Mortal Kombat 11 DLC, but if fan demand is loud enough, maybe we will see Shaggy come to a fighting game in some capacity. In fact, Shaggy may actually be a better fit for a new Injustice game, as Shaggy and the rest of the Scooby-Doo cast have appeared in various crossover cartoon films and TV shows with DC Comics characters (most notably Batman and Robin). It seems as though if Shaggy was to come to any NetherRealm Studios fighter, it would be Injustice.

Even that's a long shot, but Mortal Kombat 11 fans still have plenty of DLC guest fighters to look forward to in the coming months. Datamining efforts have suggested that The Joker, Spawn, The Terminator, and more are all on the way as Mortal Kombat 11 DLC fighters, though none of them have been officially announced at this time.

Mortal Kombat 11 is out now for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
