Falcon (Stuart Little)

"Who found a pitiful orphan bird, and plucked her out of the gutter? Who shared his food with her, and dare I ask, taught her a trade? Who?"

- Falcon, reminding Margalo as he was the one who raised her

"I won't hurt him! The sidewalk will!"

- Falcon to Margalo before he drops Stuart

"You should have stayed in your little hole, mouse-boy!"

- Falcon to Stuart

Falcon is the main antagonist of Stuart Little 2. He is Stuart's arch-nemesis and Margalo's ex-boss and slave driver.

Falcon reappeared in the Stuart Little: The Animated Series, also in the episode "A Little Bit Country" as the main antagonist. He had formed a trio of crow henchmen and attempted to get revenge on Stuart, Snowbell, and Monty for defeating him a long time ago. In the end, Falcon got defeated yet again when Stuart had him flying straight into a nearby cage in Crenshaw's farm, thus trapping him.

Beginnings
It was revealed in Stuart Little 2 that Falcon had found Margalo when she was an orphan and took her to his hideout and he shared everything with her, even though he treated her like a slave rather than a daughter figure.

Stuart Little 2
In Stuart Little 2, Falcon bullied all creatures living in Manhattan, including Margalo, making him a feared bird. He is known for stealing jewels and keeping Margalo to work as his pawn to work on many scams on families for him. Including the Littles. When Margalo landed in Stuart Little's car and gained the influence and trust of him and the rest of the Littles.

When the Littles were all out the next day, Margalo met with Falcon and when he asked for any "valuables" the family had, she told him that they only had a ring. He asked for anything else and she stated that they were a kind, loving family that had each other to care for, much to his disgust. Falcon grew suspicious of Margalo actually beginning to like the family as much as they liked her. She remarked that no one else invited her to live with them, to which Falcon reminded her that he found her as an orpan "plucked her out of the gutter" and "taught her a trade" and reminded her that she was there to do as he told her and get the valuables, not to make friends.

As much time Margalo spent with the family, she grew to like them and Stuart. Falcon notices this one night when he spies on her spending a movie night with Stuart and sees how close they've both become. He visits her alone the next day and orders her to fetch the ring or he'll kill Stuart. Margalo is forced to go through with this and she steals the ring and leaves later on in the evening. Stuart is becomes concered and worried about Margalo gone missing with only her pin left behind.

He suspects that the Falcon kidnapped her and sneaks out the house with his cat, Snowbell, to go find her. They find out that Falcon's hide-out is at the disused observation deck of the Pishkin Building. Stuart arrives with a small bow and arrow as his defence weapon. He confronts Falcon and asks him where she is, but then shes an remorsefulness Margalo behind him. Falcon tells Stuart that Margalo's been "playing him like a harp" and reveals Mother Little's ring. Margalo explained she didn't mean to hurt him. Falcon mocks Stuart saying that he really thought that they were really friends, but Margalo said that she actually was his friend.

Furious, Falcon picked up Stuart, took him outside the building and with a cruel smile, drops him attempting to let him fall to his death and restrained Margalo from trying to save him and imprisoned her in an empty paint can to provide her with an "attitude adjustment", and leaves. Fortunately, Stuart had landed on a garbage truck, but it took him to a garbage barge.

Snowbell, getting worried about Stuart, makes his way there and finds Margalo and releases her. But Falcon arrived and Snowbell hid in the paint can. Falcon arrived and spotted Snowbell and said that he didn't like "canned food" and was about to throw him over the top of the building when Margalo stopped him and stated that she was through with being a thief under his orders and left him, taking the ring with her. Falcon gave chase, but before he could kill her, Stuart had escaped the barge using a now-fixed toy biplane of his that he had accidently broken earlier and rescues Margalo and Falcon chases them through the city and then the sky. He attempts to crash the biplane by picking it up with his talons and ripping off the top, but Stuart managed to take control of the plane again and pulls up.

Stuart leaves Margalo to keep her safe from the danger and faces Falcon and reflects light from his mother's ring into Falcon's eyes, blinding him and allowing Stuart to parachute away and then crash his biplane into him in the process, making him fall out of the sky and right into a trash can, where Monty was looking for food in. After Monty sees Falcon fall into the trash can, he shouts, "Thank you!", and presumably eats him.

In Stuart Little: The Animated Series
In the episode "A Little Bit Country", Falcon returned, apparently not eaten by Monty after all. He has now made new crow henchmen and is out for revenge on Stuart and his friends.

Falcon chased Stuart, Snowbell, and Monty into Crenshaw's new farm. Soon, Falcon corners Snowbell and Monty and Monty warns the falcon to back off since cats eat birds, only for the Falcon to scare the cats. Snowbell then corrects Monty, telling Falcon what he meant to say was "cats meet birds", then introduces himself to Falcon before begging him to let him live. Before he can kill Snowbell and Monty, Stuart distracts Falcon by taunting him by shouting in a sing-song voice, "You'll never get me! You'll never get me!", and then by sticking his tongue out at Falcon. Falcon was then defeated by crashing into a cage, fell down, then Snowbell closed the door and locked it. Snowbell then told the villain that he had the right to remain silent.

From then on, Falcon was never seen or heard from again. It is possible Falcon starved or was taken to taxidermy.

Personality
The Falcon is Margalo's master and he treats Margalo like a pawn than a daugther figure in a mean way. He told Margalo to get Mrs. Little's ring or that Stuart is lunch.

Appearance
Falcon is a huge bullying bird of prey with two yellow legs and black eyes.
