Boss Wolf

**Boss Wolf**, also known as the **Wolf Boss**, is the secondary antagonist of DreamWorks' 22nd full-length animated feature film *Kung Fu Panda 2*. He is Lord Shen's most loyal servant, military strategist, and trusted right paw.

## History

The Wolf Boss, along with his pack of wolf brothers and sisters, were once guards in Gongmen City's royal palace. The only member of the royal family ever to befriend the wolves was Shen—the frail, albino heir to Gongmen City's throne. Shen fed them, played with them, and treated them like family. It was then that the Wolf Boss swore his allegiance to the young prince.

Boss Wolf's loyalty to Shen went as far as to willingly help the young lord wipe out an innocent farming village of pandas. Boss Wolf took a savage part in the massacre, as was shown when he tried to slay an innocent panda cub. The cub's father saved his life by whacking Boss Wolf in the face with a rake, permanently scarring the wolf's left eye. Boss Wolf managed to escape the farmer and he, along with the other wolves and Shen, gave chase to the farmer's wife and child. It is presumed Boss Wolf may have been involved in her death, as he and Shen were both seen chasing her after she led them away from the baby cub. Once this devastation was made known to Shen's parents, Boss Wolf was banished alongside his master and his pack.

### *Kung Fu Panda 2*

Boss Wolf first met Po, as well as the Furious Five, as he and his pack robbed the Musicians' Village of their metal to use for Lord Shen's cannons. When he saw Po, who announced himself as the Dragon Warrior, he declared it impossible because he and his wolves had supposedly neutralized the threat of the pandas. He was surprised by Po's fighting skill, and signaled to the gorillas to lift up the stashes of metal. After the rest of his pack had been defeated, he charged at Po with his hammer and struck a hard blow to his face when the panda was distracted by the symbol on his arm. Boss Wolf escaped with the loot, laughing.

However, he was still disturbed by the unexpected appearance of a panda, and as soon as he arrived in Gongmen City (which Shen had taken over during Boss Wolf's absence), he announced the news to Lord Shen. Though disbelieving at first, a furious Shen ordered Boss Wolf to find the panda and capture him.

He encountered Po and the Five again in Gongmen City as he and two of his soldiers attempted to stop them from rescuing the two surviving kung fu masters, Storming Ox and Croc. Having noticed that the two wolves were quickly beaten by the Five and how he was now outnumbered, he ran away and escaped on a rickshaw cart. He and Po fought across town, using their carts to dodge and escape the other's attacks. But despite Po's success in finally catching him, Boss Wolf ended up leading Po and the Five into an ambush at the front gates of Shen's palace. He punched Po in the belly in revenge for the beating he endured during their fight, and then had his soldiers place the warriors in handcuffs and brought them into the palace.

During the final battle between Po's group of Kung Fu masters and Shen's army of wolves and artillery of cannons, it quickly became apparent that the Kung Fu masters were prevailing. Fearful of being defeated, Shen ordered Boss Wolf to fire at the barrier of wreckage blocking their way to the city harbor. He hesitated, nothing the amount of powder in the wreckage and quarreling how some of his pack would be slaughtered as a result. Shen, declining to care for the potential loss of his own minions, ordered Boss Wolf to fire again. Realizing the heartless and insane fiend Shen really is, Boss Wolf refused and flung down his torch at long last. Infuriated, Shen slaughtered him with his throwing blades and proceeded to fire the cannon himself.

### *Kung Fu Panda 3*

Boss Wolf doesn’t make a live appearance in *Kung Fu Panda 3*, but it turns out that several pandas (led by Po's father Li Shan) have gotten away from the slaughter and have taken refuge in a village on the mountains. And yet, Boss Wolf is seen near the end of a recycled flashback told by Li of how he lost his family for a very short time.
