Wicked Wolves

Wolves are beautiful animals in real life, but more often than not, these animals are often portrayed as villains.

Not to be confused with werewolves, these are the lupine monsters from many a childhood that reminded a great many never to talk to strangers and to think twice before venturing out into the woods.

A recurring theme in the fantasy and horror genres, Wicked Wolves are also known as Monster Wolves and Big Bad Wolves. They often come across as liars, con artists, masters of disguise, man-eaters, thieves, murderers and kidnappers. Some can be tyrants and master manipulators.

The most famous Wicked Wolves are Fenrir, Maugrim, and the Big Bad Wolf in such fairy tales as "The Three Little Pigs" and "Little Red Riding Hood."

In other words, whether they're preying on children, farm animals, or lost travelers or leaving carnage in their wake, these wolves mean deadly business.
