| ~ Road Runner’s only words and sound |
Road Runner is a major character in the Looney Tunes franchise. Vocalizes only with a signature sound, "Beep, beep", and an occasional tongue noise. The "Beep, beep" was recorded by Paul Julian. He is always one step ahead of his predator, Wile E. Coyote. He is also one of a few characters that only makes sound effects, the other being Wile E. Coyote (although he does not make any sound effects, like Road Runner does).
He is also voiced by Frank Welker in the TV show, The Looney Tunes Show.
Physical Appearance[]
Road Runner is a tall bird with long, sky-blue body and tail, the stretched legs, yellow beak, and blue feather.
Personality[]
According to the creators of Looney Tunes franchise, Road Runner has been described as a silent, cheerful-hearted bird creature with the fastest speed powers that can help to have countless victories over Wile E. Coyote.
Road Runner is always a fun-loving and happy creature who always loves good endings after besting and outsmarting the mad genius villain. However, he proves to be a decent animal underneath. Road Runner bears no ill will against Wile E. for chasing him, and seems to appreciate that's just nature's way. In fact, Rule #1 prohibits the the bird from ever causing the coyote any direct harm. Likewise, in the Space Jam movies, the Road Runner is more than willing to team up with the other Looney Tunes against major threats and helping Michael Jordon and James LeBron respectively.

Powers and Abilities[]
Road Runner is the ones of the two fastest heroes in Looney Tunes (alongside Speedy Gonzales). He possesses the power of speed. Road Runner was capable of avoiding confrontation or combat against the enemies. His powers are shown for the following:
- Acceleration: Road Runner can accelerate while doing speeds from zero level to hyper speed level.
