- The Shaggy Man is a character introduced in L. Frank Baum's fifth Oz book titled, The Road to Oz, published in 1909. Shaggy man is a kind, old and homeless wanderer who always dresses in old rags. His philosophy of life centers on love and an aversion to material possessions. His one possession of value was the Love Magnet. His individuality and lifestyle is not celebrated or welcomed in America, but is accorded respect and has earned him fame in the magical Land of Oz, where Ozma provides him with a fine wardrobe of silks, satins, and velvets, but are designed to be just as shaggy as his original rags.
- Shaggy Man is a synthetic being that is one of the Justice League of America's most dangerous foes. Once Rom-Lok was exposed to Red Kryptonite and he was transformed into Shaggy Man's likeness.
- Professor Andrew Zagarian created “Plastalloy”, a synthetic substance that closely resembled human tissue, and which he hoped could be used to create artificial body parts. As an experiment, Zagarian created a huge artificial ape-like being from his plastalloy in an island laboratory and hooked it up to a generator. But Zagarian made the wrong power connection, and too much electricity surged into the creature’s body, causing it to come to life. The creature, called the Shaggy Man, attacked whatever moved.
- The Shaggy Man appeared at the Kansas home of Dorothy Gale one day in August, asking for directions to the nearby town of Butterfield so as to avoid going there by accident (a man there owed him fifteen cents, and the Shaggy Man did not want to be repaid). Dorothy agreed to show him the way but, after a short time the two became inexplicably lost. The Shaggy Man told Dorothy about a magical device he had called the Love Magnet, which causes the owner to be loved by everyone he meets. He claimed that this artifact was given to him by "an Eskimo in the Sandwich Islands."

| - Professor Andrew Zagarian created “Plastalloy”, a synthetic substance that closely resembled human tissue, and which he hoped could be used to create artificial body parts. As an experiment, Zagarian created a huge artificial ape-like being from his plastalloy in an island laboratory and hooked it up to a generator. But Zagarian made the wrong power connection, and too much electricity surged into the creature’s body, causing it to come to life. The creature, called the Shaggy Man, attacked whatever moved. He also appeared in the show Batman the Brave and the Bold. He briefly first appears in the episode "Legends of the Dark Mite" when Bat Mite teleported him to fight Batman. A whole tribe of Shaggy Men appeared in the episode "Long Arm of the Law" where the tribe capture a bunch of boy scouts. Batman and Plastic Man try to sneak past them but after they rescue the boys they wake up and silently fight the two heroes but are defeated.

- The Shaggy Man appeared at the Kansas home of Dorothy Gale one day in August, asking for directions to the nearby town of Butterfield so as to avoid going there by accident (a man there owed him fifteen cents, and the Shaggy Man did not want to be repaid). Dorothy agreed to show him the way but, after a short time the two became inexplicably lost. The Shaggy Man told Dorothy about a magical device he had called the Love Magnet, which causes the owner to be loved by everyone he meets. He claimed that this artifact was given to him by "an Eskimo in the Sandwich Islands." Eventually Dorothy and the Shaggy Man realized that they were wandering in an unknown fairyland. They met Button-Bright and Polychrome, and eventually passed through the town of Dunkiton where King Kik-a-bray transformed the Shaggy Man's head into that of a donkey in honor of his great wisdom. Shaggy was instrumental in their escape from the Scoodlers, and when they reached the Deadly Desert the Shaggy Man called on Johnny Dooit to help them cross. Arriving in the Land of Oz, the Shaggy Man bathed in the Truth Pond and regained his former head, but found that ever after he was forced to tell the truth. The travelers found that their journey had been prearranged so that Dorothy could attend a birthday party for Princess Ozma. The Shaggy Man was awed by the splendor of the fairy-realm, and resolved to live there permanently. Upon being questioned by Ozma, he revealed that he actually stole the Love Magnet from a girl in Butterfield, but was without remorse because doing so had allowed him to travel to Oz with Dorothy. Nevertheless, eager to be a good subject to the princess, he agreed to Ozma's decree that the Love Magnet be donated to the Emerald City and hung over the city gates. The Shaggy Man serendipitously arrived to rescue Ojo, the Patchwork Girl, the Glass Cat, and the Woozy from Man-Eating Plants that captured them along the Yellow Brick Road in the Munchkin Country. He then guided them to the Emerald City. The Shaggy Man later went in search of his long-lost brother, who was being held prisoner by the Nome King. He and his companions managed to rescue and disenchant this brother, and the Shaggy Man decided to give up the Land of Oz to remain with his brother and Betsy Bobbin. The prospect of losing him from Oz persuaded Ozma to allow these others to enter Oz.
