Wolf, sometimes known as Big Bad Wolf, is a supporting character in the DreamWorks Shrek franchise. He is loosely based on the character of the same name voiced by Aron Warner. He is very laid-back, which makes him appear quite lazy, although he is a very busy wolf. He is also apparently on good terms with the Three Little Pigs.

Trivia[]
- According to Shrek 2 (video game) he's tall 6'1 and weights 180 lbs.
- The magazine he's reading in the Fiona's bed is called "Pork Illustrated". This is a parody of real life magazine Sports Illustrated, well known for their swimsuit cover models. In the musical, he reads a similar magazine.
- Much like in the fairytale Little Red Riding Hood, Big Bad Wolf is disguised as her grandmother hoping to fool Little Red Riding Hood and eat her. He keeps granny's night gown on for most of his appearances in Shrek media. Wolfie's wearing of traditional women's clothing has led to some confusion over his gender.
- In Shrek 2 Fairy Godmother even calls him a "gender-confused wolf".
- In Shrek the Musical, Big Bad Wolf has a line in the song "Story of My Life", in which he complains about being called "a hot and tranny mess".
- In The Pig Who Cried Werewolf, Wolf, despite being a male, transforms in a female human.
- He doesn't have any connections with Lobo the Death Wolf from the Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.
