~ Simone Lenoir on Morgan Moonscar. |
Morgan McReight, better known as Morgan Moonscar, is the overarching antagonist of the 1998 direct-to-video film Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island.
He was an infamous pirate responsible for the deaths of Simone Lenoir and Lena Dupree's people, leading to them becoming werecats to seek revenge upon him, making him responsible for the events of the film. He would later be resurrected as a zombie seeking to prevent others from suffering the same fate that he did.
Appearance[]
In life, he was an old man with a long bushy white beard, tanned skin, and a reddish-brown pirate costume. He also wielded a large sword. As a zombie, he is much thinner than his human counterpart (almost skin and bones), his clothes are tattered and his sword is rusty in numerous places.
Personality[]
Nothing is explicitly stated about Moonscar's personality, but he seems to be a typical bloodthirsty pirate captain. He murdered an entire settlement to ensure they would not get his buried treasure (or tell anyone about it).
After being killed along with his crew by Simone and Lena, his personality seems to have changed radically: he spent the next two hundred years trying to warn others of the danger that lay in wait, did not harm Shaggy or Scooby, and protected them from Simone, Lena and Jacques during the final battle.
When he finally dies Velma says that he can finally rest in peace, which implies that Morgan has come to feel remorse for what he did, and seek to redeem himself, something that he achieved.
Biography[]
Past[]
Sometime in the late 1790s, Morgan Moonscar and his pirate crew arrived on a remote island somewhere in a bayou in Louisiana While the residents were celebrating their bountiful harvest, Moonscar and his crew attacked them. He forced the residents into the swamp, and they were devoured by alligators. However two of the residents, Simone Lenoir and Lena Dupree managed to escape the pirates. With pure rage and hatred in their souls, the two women uttered a curse on the pirates. Their cat goddess granted their wish and they became werecats. With their new powers, the two confronted Moonscar and his crew. Seeing them, he screamed in horror before he was silenced when the werecats killed Morgan Moonscar and the pirates. They would only be their first victims.
Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island[]
Moonscar, along with his crew and the other victims were left to wander Moonscar Island after having the life drained from them. 200 years later, they tried to drive Mystery Inc. off the island, to spare them the same fate. After Simone, Lena, and Jacques died, the souls of Moonscar and his crew were released, along with those of the other zombies, allowing them to finally rest in peace in the afterlife.

Trivia[]
- Some fans debate whether Morgan Moonscar was trying to warn Mystery Inc. to go away from Moonscar Island so they would not suffer his fate, aiding them to kill Simone Lenoir and Lena Dupree to avenge his death or both.
- However, the former is the most likely as Morgan seems to initially focus on scaring them away instead of searching for the werecats, and given Velma's comment at the end, it's implied that Morgan and his crew can finally rest in peace and move on to the afterlife, which possibly means that Morgan and his pirates regretted their atrocities and redeemed themselves. However, Morgan Moonscar and his crew most likely somehow found out that if the werecats didn't drain life force during the Harvest Moon, they will die.
- In Scooby Doo: Return to Zombie Island, he is seen only in flashbacks, but without his moon-scar around his left eye.
