* BigBad: Counts as this for the franchise as a whole, thanks in no part to ,ost of his appearances having him as the main villain and always standing above the rest of Woody's rogues as his most personal and hated nemesis.

* HateSink: He exists to be an antagonist for Woody, and since Woody is ''not'' a paragon of good virtue himself, Buzz always has to be ''worse'' to balance things out.

* CaptainErsatz: Of Daffy Duck and the rabbit from "WesternAnimation/PorkysHareHunt", with some traces of Bugs Bunny in the earliest shorts. These aspects were dropped later on and Woody became more of a playful trickster and foil character in the vein of ''WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck'' and ''WesternAnimation/BarneyBear''.

These aspects were dropped later on and Woody became more of a playful trickster and foil character in the vein of ''WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck'' and ''WesternAnimation/BarneyBear''. The Latin American Spanish dubs enforce this by having Jorge Arvizu, Bugs' voice actor at the time, also voicing Woody.

A prominent example of the {{Prankster}} character, Woody Woodpecker was the star character of the Creator/WalterLantz cartoon studio and is the mascot of Ride/UniversalStudios [[note]]this position was briefly taken from him by Fievel of ''WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail'' in the 80s and early 90s- he seemed to have earned it back, only for [[Franchise/DespicableMe the Minions]] to steal it from him in the early 2010s[[/note]]. In the earliest cartoons, he was essentially Lantz's answer to WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck and WesternAnimation/BugsBunny, being a strange hybrid of the two characters, with the energy, looniness [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} and demented nature of Classic Daffy]] merged with hints of the wiseacre attitude of Bugs--also enforced by the fact that they even got ''[[Creator/MelBlanc Bugs' and Daffy's voice actor]]'' for the first three cartoons!

* {{Flight}}: Being a avian, Woody is very much capable of flying, although this ability was usually dropped after the early shorts in favor of him using SuperSpeed. It returns in the live action movie, complete with his wings flapping as he flies.
