Appearance/Personality
Woody Woodpecker is a woodpecker with a red head and blue body with a white belly and white gloves with a yellow beak and feet. Known to be very zany and witty (much like Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny) Woody usually came out on the lucky side of situations with very occasional times where he was beaten. Woody was like Bugs with luckiness but had a more Daffy personality (even the early voice of Daffy minus the lisp which was what Blanc had used for Woody). Later on, Shamus supplied Woody with more clearly defined traits so that we could understand why he was going about causing trouble — specifically, by establishing that he is a selfish, ignorant being who only stands for himself and will not stop at nothing to achieve his goals, regardless of whoever gets in his way. He also influenced Screwy Squirrel for the studio as well. He also became one of the most popular characters from the studio aside from Tom & Jerry.
