Wile E. Coyote

Wile E. Coyote is the quaternary antagonist of the Looney Tunes franchise. He is an animated cartoon character, created by Chuck Jones for the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons. He debuted in the 1949 cartoon Fast & Furry-ous alongside his archenemy, Road-Runner.

Origin
When the screenwriters of Warner Bros. Animation decided they needed a new type of short, the thing that they all agreed on was a "cat-and-mouse"-like cartoon, or a cartoon with one animal chasing another. Although many things came to mind, the idea of a coyote chasing a roadrunner eventually came up. This idea eventually sparked what we know of today as one of the greatest shorts that Warner ever created, starring Wile E. Coyote and The Road-Runner.

Design
Wile E. is a creative fiend, always making a new invention to catch the pesky Road Runner. Although he has made several attempts, he has never succeeded in catching his speedy opponent. But it isn't Road Runner who causes his inventions to fail as Road Runner often unaware with nor retaliate his plan cunningly. Instead, Wile E. himself causes his own plans to backfire, mainly because he did not plan the consequences of his actions. He also impatient as well.

Although Wile has speed, he cannot match the pace of his rival Road Runner. He seems to be intent on capturing the bird, no matter what it may cost him. And many times it costs him severe injury and never stops trying.

Speech
Wile E. usually does not make a sound, unlike Road Runner, who gives off the occasional "meep, meep." Instead, Wile E. communicates with signs that display his emotion, such as "ouch" or "uh-oh." He has been known to talk, however, when he is around Bugs Bunny (in those cases, he was voiced by Mel Blanc). He also talked in the film Adventures Of the Road-Runner, and episode of Tiny Toon Adventures and a Looney Tunes web cartoon. When Wile E. does talk, it's usually with a British accent, often proclaiming to be a "super genius."
