Sylvester Sneekly, otherwise known by his secret identity as the Hooded Claw, is the main antagonist of the animated series The Perils of Penelope Pitstop. His voice was originated by Paul Lynde.
Sneekly is the supposed guardian and lawyer of heiress Penelope Pitstop, but when she's not looking, he switches his dual persona in order to capture her. He attempts to kill Penelope and gain the money inherited by her family fortune, but his plans would be squandered by the rescue of the Ant Hill Mob (and sometimes Penelope escaping from his devilish schemes).

Behind the scenes
- The Hooded Claw's personality is partly based on his voice actor, Paul Lynde.
- Ironically, Sneekly's alias neither wears a hood nor has any claws, which is part of a recurring gag of his.
In popular culture
- In "Episode 4" (series 2) of the BBC Radio 4 comedy sketch show Dead Ringers, Alistair Stewart presents Police Crash Bang Wallop (a parody of Police Camera Action!), in which Luke and Blubber, Professor Pat Pending, and Dick and Muttley are described as a bunch of boy racers who are flagrantly disregarding the rules of the road. They are said to be repentant, although Dick says, "Drat and double drat," followed by Muttley's snicker and laugh. As a crossover with Perils of Penelope Pitstop, Hooded Claw then joins the race to get Penelope.
