| - Sylvester Sneekly is the guardian of Penelope Pitstop, yet he desires her vast fortune she is entitled to. He intends to have her dead so he will become the only reamaing claimant of the fortune. Of course to protect his identity, he carries out his plans and traps as a sadistic, sneeky, foul, master of disguse villian known as the Hooded Claw. He does have a foul, childish temper, especially shown when his plans are foiled by Penelope, The Ant Hill Mob or even his own blundering henchmen, the Bully Brothers.
- The Hooded Claw is the main antagonist of the Hanna-Barbera animated television show The Perils of Penelope Pitstop. The show was a spin-off of a prior cartoon Wacky Races featuring the show's characters Penelope Pitstop and the Anthill Mob, and was to have completed the set with the villains being Dick Dastardly and Muttley, but plans changed and the Hooded Claw was created instead.
- His primary appearance, is a classic 1910's dark green formal suit jacket with a matching green formal vest in a white long sleeve button shirt with a red neck tie on the collar, dark green pants and black shoes. As his alter-ego The Hooded Claw, Sylvester's formal suit is now purple and dressed in a very long green collared cloak and black shoes. He also wears a purple mask and a matching green baggy hat with black linings on his head.

Infact in this note this hooded claw costume is always dangerous and make sure wants to get killed, of course the traps. That means is so dangerous, so I told you about the dangerous things what does he had to do.

- The Hooded Claw is the main antagonist of the Hanna-Barbera animated television show The Perils of Penelope Pitstop. The show was a spin-off of a prior cartoon Wacky Races featuring the show's characters Penelope Pitstop and the Anthill Mob, and was to have completed the set with the villains being Dick Dastardly and Muttley, but plans changed and the Hooded Claw was created instead. The Hooded Claw was the disguise used by heiress Penelope's lawyer and supposed guardian, Sylvester Sneakly, in a continuing effort to do away with Penelope, in order to make her family fortune his own. Sneakly would use his dual role (cartoon logic ignoring a limited disguise for his face and none for his distinctive voice) to set Penelope up for his latest trap, always in a different part of the world and based on the sights and history of the region, as well as the old-time damsel-in-distress stories the show was mocking on as well as homaging. Aiding him in this were two dim hirelings, the identical twin Bully Brothers, not as dumb as some cartoon henchmen but not at all bright; it seems likely the Claw wanted someone he could easily cheat, should his schemes finally succeed, never really getting how this undercut his efforts. Another factor likely holding him back (but firmly in keeping with the genre they homaged) was how complicated and slow-acting his many, many death-traps were, to the point of fans wondering if he gained Penelope's fortune, he might only break even from the expenditures. Frequently, one trap led right into another, with little or no stop till the end of the episode, always beginning another cliffhanger. The Anthill Mob acted as Penelope's protectors, as easily fooled and misled as Penelope herself, but at least smarter than the Bully Brothers, to the point where once, when their personalities were inverted, their schemes to do away with Penelope were actually quite competent. Modeled after the Seven Dwarves, the Mob's members each had a signature trait that alternately aided Penelope or got her and them in even deeper trouble, moments the Claw never hesitated to exploit. They were a determined, resourceful lot, and once they caught on to the Claw's inevitable involvement, they moved hard to save their pretty charge. One quirk, perhaps deliberate even in-universe, was that, as supposedly kind and caring Sylvester Sneakly, the Claw called his charge Penelope, while in his disguise, he only referred to her as Pitstop. One joke by the Claw mentioned Dick Dastardly by name, though whether this was fourth-wall breaking or an indication that this show shared a world with Wacky Races and Dick Dastardly And His Flying Machines is unclear. Hanna-Barbera shows were known to do this sort of humor, with Yogi Bear appearing on The Flinstones and a classmate of Elroy Jetson's watching reruns of The Flintstones on a wristwatch-TV.
