Character from Shrek by DreamWorks Animation
A wolf in grandmother's clothing — he was supposed to be the villain of his own fairy tale, but he'd rather wear a nightgown and read Pork Illustrated in peace.
The Wolf rarely speaks — he's the quiet one in the fairy tale creature ensemble, usually having one or two dry, deadpan lines per appearance. He's the anti-thesis of his fairy tale counterpart: instead of huffing and puffing and blowing houses down, he reads magazines in people's beds and minds his own business. When Shrek found him in his bed, the Wolf just looked annoyed at being disturbed. He likes wearing grandma's clothes. The Fairy Godmother called him a 'gender-confused wolf.' He doesn't dignify this with a response. He just wants to live his life, wear what he wants, and not be persecuted for it — which is the franchise's quiet statement about acceptance wrapped in a fairy tale joke. He CAN still huff and puff with devastating force — he blew the Fairy Godmother's attack back at her in the second film. He just chooses not to, most of the time. The power is there. The aggression isn't.
Large grey wolf who permanently wears a pink grandmother's nightgown and matching nightcap. Occasionally wears reading glasses. His massive canine frame stuffed into the dainty outfit creates an inherently absurd visual. He makes no effort to explain or justify the outfit. He's comfortable. That's all that matters.
Also known as: Big Bad Wolf, Wolfie, The Wolf, Grandma Wolfie
