Big Bad Wolf (Shrek)

Wolf (sometimes known as Big Bad Wolf) is a supporting character in the Shrek series. He is loosely based on the character of the same name voiced by Aron Warner. He is very laid back and that makes him appear quite lazy although he is a very busy wolf, catching three pigs and a little girl has its difficulties.
He also comes across as a Pansy. Unlike his counterpart, he is much friendlier to Shrek and the others while Little Red Riding Hood is on the Villains side aiding Prince Charming in his plan to take over Far Far Away. he is voice by Aron Warner
==Biography==
===The Pig Who Cried Werewolf===
Big Bad Wolf moved to the lands around Duloc to get away from people familiar with his past prior. The community he moved to was a small out of the way one inhabited by few people. Jack and Jill (not the outlaws) and the Lady in the Shoe being among his neighbors along with- the three pigs. Big Bad Wolf is a bit nervous, having a deep secret that could bode ill for those around him. Despite this he makes efforts to be friendly, even as what's inside him works to it's own ends. The pigs prove nosey neighbors with Heimlich uncovering Big Bad Wolf's secret- he's a werewolf (or wolfwere) in the sense that he's a wolf that becomes a person under the light of a full moon. That person is a woman named Chef and to Chef the pigs are- pigs- food-and she's a cook. In the resulting events of shifting and unshifting Big Bad Wolf gets a moment to warn the other pig siblings to get away but they are just confused until he shifts again. As himself he wants to protect the pigs but as Chef he wants to eat them and the entire chase results in rumors that give way to most being familiar with a story about a Big Bad Wolf that's not accurate at all (but close to the original fairy tale). 
===Shrek===
The Big Bad Wolf first appears among the many fairytale creatures banished to Shrek's swamp by Lord Farquaad. Shrek discovers him lying in his bed and throws him out of his house. He is seen attending Shrek and Fiona's wedding and dances with a Duloc Guard. In Shrek's Karaoke Dance Party he sings "Who Let The Dogs Out" along with The Three Little Pigs.
===Shrek 2===
The Big Bad Wolf is found living in Fiona's tower by Prince Charming, who mistakes him for the princess. Wolfie corrects him and tells him that Fiona has already been rescued as is on her honeymoon, much to Charming's shock. While Shrek, Fiona, and Donkey stay in Far Far Away, Wolfie and other fairytale creatures watch over the swamp. They happen to see a broadcast of Shrek, Donkey and Puss in Boots getting arrested by guards while watching T.V. The group then go to the prison and help the trio escape. The Big Bad Wolf also helps Shrek defeat Fairy Godmother by blowing a fierce, ferocious gust of wind at her, causing her to drop her wand. He is seen playing the flamenco guitar during the song "Livin' la Vida Loca."
=== Shrek the Halls ===
The Wolf joins Christmas at Shrek's swamp. He is enjoying the festivities and later kicks Pinocchio when the creatures spend the night at the swamp.
===Shrek the Third===
The Big Bad Wolf was at Fiona's baby shower and gave her a present, which was a baby carrier. When Prince Charming and Captain Hook broke in, they demanded to know where Shrek was. After failing to get answers from Gingy and Pinocchio, one of the three pigs reveals the ogre's whereabouts out of frustration. After knowing Charming's plan, Pinocchio exclaims "He'll never fall for your tricks!," which causes his nose to grow. Wolfie responds by saying "Oh, Boy." He appears again with the fairytale creatures when planning their attack on the villains. When the members are trying to think of a team name, he sarcastically remarks his desire for the name "Team Alpha Wolf Squadron." Before the ambush, he is disguised as an actor in a bear costume in Charming's play. He is quickly captured by one of the guards, and is set free after the villains reform.
===Shrek Forever After===
He makes a brief appearance at the ogre triplets' birthday party. He is blowing up balloons. but keeps accidentally popping them when blowing too hard. When Shrek enters the alternate reality, Wolfie was Rumpelstiltskin's Wig handler and was wearing a maid outfit. His only line in the film is "Yes Mr. Stiltskin." He is later seen wearing a Shrek costume, with the three pigs trying to pass him off as the real Shrek. Rumpel says to them "That's just sad."
Deleted scenes show that originally, however, Big Bad Wolf would have joined several of the other fairytale creatures (Gingy, the Three Blind Mice, the Three Little Pigs, and Pinocchio) to ambush Shrek. After Pinocchio ties Shrek up with his puppet strings, Wolfie would have assisted by using his powerful breath to huff, puff, and blow the immobilized green hero into a drop in the floor, from where Pinocchio would kick the ogre down, landing him in a cart to be delivered to Rumpelstiltskin alongside Donkey and Puss. Director Mike Mitchell explained that this sequence was cut due to there already being too much story to tell within this act of the film. Another reason was the crew felt it was too dark to show Big Bad Wolf and the others being so mean to Shrek.
=== Scared Shrekless ===
Wolfie was dressed as a witch when he and his friends joined Donkey in trying to scare Shrek. He then joins Shrek as he and the others travel to Duloc to tell scary stories. He doesn't stay for long and leaves both out of boredom and to look after the pigs, as the pigs were "his ride".
=== The Pig Who Cried Werewolf ===
After moving in next door to the Three Little Pigs, a bag full of kitchen knives accidentally falls. He suspiciously darts his eyes in hopes no one noticed. Later on, he is shown to bury the bag of knives in a hole. Heimlich, the brick pig, notices as Wolfie is trying to hide the shovel from his view. When night falls, it is revealed that under the light of the full moon, he turns into a Lady named Chef. In this form, he digs up the bag of knives and kidnaps each of the three pigs, inviting them to dinner. After feeding the pigs, he turns back into his normal form when the clouds cover the moon. He asks if the pigs saw anything weird, with the pigs telling him of the strange actions and behavior he displayed. Wanting to save the pigs, he tells them to get out of his house before Chef can turn them into "stuffed piggies in a blanket." The pigs make a run for the hills while Chef continues to try and slice them. Wolfie encourages them to keep running after giving up on saving them.
=== Swamp Talk ===
The Wolf was referenced several times in the series, having the most mentions compared to the other fairytale characters. His most prominent mention however was "Big Bad Wolf Retires?", where he was spotted going to a retirement home to get a new granny dress. This had been taking the wrong way, as the wolf had been planning another attack on a granddaughter.

==Trivia==
*Despite only appearing in the ending, Wolfie had a personal ad seen in the queue of Shrek 4-D. However, this was quickly removed for being too extreme for family audiences. It stated, "Like hairy guys? Looking for a Big Bad boy to huff and puff and blow your mind? Not all the guys are wolves, but this one is.".
*The reason Wolfie wears a dress is to disguise himself as the grandmother of the Little Red Riding Hood and the same one captured her. But this can also be seen as transgender representation considering Fairy God Mother made a transphobic remark.
