Grand Duke of Owls

The Grand Duke of Owls.

The Grand Duke of Owls was the main villain in Pooh's Adventures of Rock-a-Doodle who schemed to to destroy Chanticleer and never let the sun shine again. He is a rather corpulent, aristocratic but vicious brown owl who hates sunlight, like all owls, and his stupid nephew, Hunch the Pygmy owl. In the final battle, he transforms into a giant tornado, but is shrunk into a midgit by Chanticleer's crowing and chased away by a vengeful Hunch.
