Loopy De Loop is an anthropomorphic wolf and the main title character in the Loopy De Loop theatrical shorts. His voice was originated by Daws Butler.
Loopy is a "friendly wolf," unlike most other wolves, who tries to prove to those that not all wolves are necessarily bad, but due to being a wolf, he is usually tortured in some way in the end.
In the Jellystone! reboot, Loopy, who's now a woman, is pared up with Jabberjaw, both of whom work at Magilla's. This version of Loopy is far less friendly and is more deadpan in personality. She is voiced by Ulka Simone Mohanty.

Development
During Hanna-Barbera's early years, a series of theatrical shorts staring Loopy De Loop were created to compete with the likes of Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny, but the shorts didn't get much success as the latter, and became one of HB's lesser-known creations. The character himself seems to have been based off of Pepé Le Pew from the Looney Tunes francise and the shorts themselves bare resemblance to Casper the Friendly Ghost, with Loopy trying to help others, in a similar way to Casper.
During production on Jellystone!, Melody Iza, herself a transgender artist, suggested for Loopy to be turned into a transgender female character mid production. Iza suggested the same change to Baba Looey and Squiddly Diddly.[1]
