Lobo Howler

* Human
* Super Monster
* Upgrade

**Lobo Howler** is one of the main characters of Super Monsters, along with his friends. He’s a werewolf, who attends Pitchfork Pines Preschool.

## Appearance

### As a Human

Lobo is a young boy of around 3-6 years old. He is of Mexican descent.

He has a light brown complexion followed by short dark brown hair with two cowlicks at the top. He has brown eyes, white scleras and white teeth.

He wears a green letterman vest, with white details, and the letter "L" on the right side. He also wears a white, v-neck, short-sleeved shirt underneath the vest. He wears tan pants and red shoes.

### As a Werewolf

In his Super Monster form, he has brown fur, green eyes, white scleras and white teeth/fangs. Lobo wears the same letterman vest and white shirt, although they are slightly ripped, but he lacks the pants and shoes. His paw pads are black, and his inner ears are pink. Lobo has a black nose, and a tan muzzle.

#### After making a monster match

After making a monster match with Molasses, Lobo's letterman vest changes to blue, with gold details, and he has streaks of gold/orange fur at the top of his head.

## Personality

Lobo is a cheerful and active Werewolf. He often reassures his friends and is there for them when he needs to be.

Lobo can be really impatient sometimes, such as in the episode “Safety Fur All”, where he kept on secretly straying away from the group to go on all the rides, because he thought they took too long deciding.

Lobo uses his speed power very often, which can sometimes result in him or other getting hurt, but he’s very kind and never harms anyone on purpose, despite him being a bit reckless at times.

At first, Lobo was not very fond of reading, believing it to be boring, but began to warm up to it when he started to read "Puss N' Boots and The Three Musketeers" on a trip to the library. It was here when Lobo discovered that when a werewolf reads during a full moon, magic causes the story to really happen. This made Lobo realize how much fun reading can be and became very fond of it from then on.Lobo howls every chance he gets, but under the blue moon, Lobo has trouble controlling his howling, since the magic has special effects on Werewolves.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Supernatural Speed:** Lobo's most iconic monster power is superhuman speed. He is able to move so fast, he seems like a blur and can run around in a circle fast enough to create a weak breeze of wind that can blow around leaves, as seen in the episode “The Runaway Gargoyle”.
* Lobo also has a signature move called the "Werewolf Wheelie", where he curl into a ball and rolls around at speeds similar to his running speed. This might be a reference to Sonic the Hedgehog.
* **Supernatural Jumping:** Lobo is also able to jump exceptionally high, as seen in the episode “Spell Help”, where he almost reached Drac who was flying next to the top of a rather tall library bookshelf, but came a few inches short, and in “Super Monsters: Furever Friends”, where he jumped high enough to reach a sparkly on a high tree branch.
* **Supernatural Sense of Smell:** Lobo also has a superhuman sense of smell, as seen in “Safety Fur All”, where he kept straying away from the group, but managed to find them again every time by tracking them by scent
* **Superhuman Hearing:** In “Vampires Don't Dance” he was the one who heard Esmie come in through the school front door and informed everyone.
* **Werewolf magic:** Whenever there's a full moon in the sky, when Lobo reads a book, Werewolf magic causes the story to come to life and actually happen, such as when he read the story 'Puss N' Boots' under a full moon, it caused Henri to transform into the Puss N' Boots, Drac, Katya, and Cleo into the 3 musketeers, and Frankie and Zoe into the king and queen, and act the same way the characters did in the book.
* **Perception Manipulation:** In “Super Monsters: Furever Friends”, Lobo made a Monster Match with Molasses the slowmonster (a sloth-like monster pet) and gained the ability of Extreme Speed. This is an upgraded version of Lobo's normal super speed. When he uses it, he moves so incredibly fast that, from his point of view, the world around him seems to move in slow motion.

## Relationships

### Family

##### His Dad

Lobo seems to view his dad as a role model, as he was very excited to help with his dad’s presentation about fire safety in The Glorb Who Cried Werewolf.

##### His Abuelita

Lobo loves his abuelita very much. Since he lives with her, he knows her very well. He’s very fond of her cooking and baking.

##### Vida

Lobo seems to really care for his cousin a lot. In “Super Monsters and the Wish Star”, which is also the first time Vida appears, the thing he wished for most was for Vida to be there with him, since she lives very far away in Ciudad Monstruo. When she shows up, Lobo is overjoyed.

In “Super Monsters: Back to School”, Lobo was very excited for Vida to move to Pitchfork Pines, and couldn’t wait for her to arrive and greets her excitedly. He planned a tour of the town for her and was really happy to show her around. When she loses her doll Skelly, Lobo helps her find it. On her first day of school, Lobo helps Vida and shows her everything. When Vida accidentally grows a plant and falls down, Cleo catches her, and Lobo catches Skelly, which Vida thanks him for. When Vida doesn’t come outside with the other kids, Lobo comes inside (most likely to look for her). When Vida’s worried about a wilted plant, Lobo helps her by bringing Water.

In “Super Monsters: Vida's First Halloween”, Vida is feeling very nervous about celebrating Halloween for the first time, but Lobo helps her. When they start trick or treating, Lobo reaches out his hand to Vida. While trick or treating, Lobo shows off to Vida how fast he can trick or treat. When Esmie suggests the monsters explain more about their Halloween traditions to Vida, Lobo starts first. When they’re sharing candy, Lobo reaches out his hand to Vida again.

In general, it’s clear that Lobo has a very strong bond Vida and treats her like his sister.

### Allies

#### Adults

##### Igor and Esmie

Although Lobo sometimes breaks rules, he generally listens to his teachers and respects them.

## Trivia

* The name Lobo is actually the Spanish word for wolf.
* It is unknown if Lobo has a mother or not.
* In "The Lost And The Furry One", Lobo's show and tell item was a silver dollar, which he was able to hold in his hands and keep in his pocket without issue. This is an interesting fact, since werewolves are often depicted as having a weakness to silver in media.
* Lobo is actually quite similar to the famous video game character Sonic the Hedgehog, as both are fast-paced, "like the wind" individuals who have trouble staying in one place for too long, and even have similar powers, as both have super speed, can jump high, can kick up the wind by running in circles, and they both have rolling techniques (Lobo's Werewolf Wheelie is similar to Sonic's Spin Attack).
* Rory Max Kaplan voiced Adam Bolt/Fulmen in MeteoHeroes, Tom in DinoFroz and Cameron in Pokemon.
