Henery Hawk, also spelled as Henry Hawk, is a major antagonist in the Looney Tunes franchise.
He is a young chicken hawk that seeks to prove himself as an accomplished predator (usually to his father) by catching and killing a chicken, despite being frequently confused as to what a chicken really is. He is one of Foghorn Leghorn's arch-enemies, alongside George P. Dog.
He appeared in thirteen cartoons of the original Looney Tunes series. In The Looney Tunes Show, Henery also made three appearances, as well as 2 appearances in songs, and made a cameo appearance in the film Space Jam.

Personality[]
Henery is a somewhat blustery loudmouth with an oddball accent who likes to eat chicken. While he is a chicken hawk who is hungry, Henery was occasionally shown to be evil and go beyond a simply hungry animal and has committed villainous acts such as constantly abusing Foghorn Leghorn with no actual reason, abusing a turtle, and blowing up George P. Dog's house.
In The Looney Tunes Show, he was also shown to have an evil smile while trying to kill Foghorn Leghorn in the Chicken Hawk song. Plus, Foghorn Leghorn offered him many different kinds of food, but Henery refused to eat anything else, and even when he was surprised how much he liked Foghorn Leghorn's grandmother's baked beans, he still wanted to kill Foghorn Leghorn and eat him, meaning that he sees him more like a rival than a food source.
Unlike most Looney Tunes antagonists who are animals that often fail to catch their prey (such as Wile E. Coyote and Sylvester), Henery has occasionally succeeded in capturing his prey (mostly Foghorn Leghorn).
