Ralph Wolf is the titular main antagonist from the Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog shorts of Looney Tunes.
Although he isn't a villain, Ralph is actually an employee whose job is to steal sheep, while Sam's job is to watch over the sheep. Ralph and Sam are best friends when outside of their jobs, only antagonizing each other during their workday. While on their job, Ralph tries various plans to steal the sheep, only for Sam to thwart him with minimal effort and severely punish him. As their workday ends, they return to their status quo, walking home together only start all over again the next day especially whenever he's injured badly, he takes next days off as Sam can handle both jobs in his absences.
He was voiced by the late Mel Blanc from 1953-1963, and is currently voiced by Jeff Bergman since 2020 Looney Tunes Cartoons.

Trivia
- Ralph Wolf bears a striking resemblance with Wile E. Coyote, as they have virtually the same design. They are differentiated by Ralph's red nose instead of Coyote's black one, usually white eyes and fangs. Though both play similar roles, Ralph is merely doing his job, cutting off his chase at the end of his workday, unlike Coyote who has a more fanatical drive.
