 Professor Pericles is the main antagonist of the Scooby-Doo franchise's eleventh television series Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated. He is a scarred parrot who is the leader and former mascot of the original Mystery Incorporated, having betrayed the gang years ago to get the Planispheric Disk for himself, who seeks to free the Evil Entity to gain infinite power. He is also the evil counterpart of Scooby-Doo. Professor Pericles is a genius; since his brain is no bigger than a cashew nut, this makes him, by comparison, uncannily intelligent, and he prides himself as "The Smartest Criminal Parrot in the World." He speaks with a distinct German accent. The purple parrot is shown to be deranged and slightly insane, given his appearance and demeanor. He also possibly suffered an inferiority complex, evidenced when Danny Darrow attacked the new Mystery Inc. and referred to one of them as a "big, fat, insensitive, insecure know-it-all," which most likely means Pericles. This trait may have originated from being the animal mascot, despite being the smartest one of the group, and also what allowed Mayor Jones to turn Pericles against his friends. Like most parrots, Pericles appears to have a liking for sunflower seeds. It should be noted that Pericles is not always evil through and through from the beginning, as he used to be just as friendly and happy as Scooby during his younger days and was a good and helpful friend of the old Mystery Inc. until his ambitions and desire for the Planispheric Disk and absolute power corrupted him. It is later revealed that all of his evil nature is a result of The Evil Entity's influence, and Pericles is shown to be actually friendly once The Evil Entity is removed from time and no longer influences him. He was voiced by Udo Kier, who also played Yuri in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 and its sequel, Lorenzini in The Adventures of Pinocchio, Gitano Dragonetti in Blade, Zanrelot in Vier gegen Z (4xZ), Peter Straub in Call of Duty: WWII- Nazi Zombies and Dr. Krieger in the 2008 Far Cry movie.
