Growlers

The **Growlers** are a race of powerful demons that were created by Wolfgang to assist him with his plans to overthrow the Greek Gods and claim the universe as an almighty god. They are the polar opposites of the Council of Elements who use their elemental magic to help the universe but Wolfgang created the Growlers to use their abilities to terrorize and conquer the universe. They are the physical manifestations of avalanche, volcanos, blizzards and tornados who have taken on the forms of gigantic wolves. In the film, *the Enchanted Pup,* the Elements were held in glass containment units until they were strong to be released from the chambers and to use their magic to torture the Gods.

## Background

The Growlers are descendants of the Titans who are the ancestors of the Olympian Gods. Centuries ago, the Titans threatened to destroy the universe but were defeated and destroyed by the Gods. Once the Gods were obliterated, a drop of their souls fell into the void of space where it was presumably destroyed by a volcanic planet after falling into a black hole. Unknown to the Olympians, Wolfgang retrieved the souls and placed them inside a containment and used both magic and science to strengthen and power up the Elements, so they can grow into powerful monsters that is capable of inflicting pain and torture on the Olympians, just like their ancestors did.

## List of Elements

* Valanche
* Lavar
* Thawe
* Ozone

Valanche is the descendant of Pythos, the Rock Titan. As stated mentioned, he has taken on the form of a wolf. He is the strongest of the group as he withstood everything that was fired at him whether it was Hansel's ice powers or Cerberus' fire powers.

* **Earth Manipulation:** Valanche can manipulate the earth and earthen elements including most solid objects, specifically all minerals and mineral compositions.
* **Earth Mimicry:** Valanche has the body made up of earth.
* **Avalanche Creation:** Valanche's prominent earth ability is being capable of creating or generating avalanches and do this by simply stomping his feet.

Lavar is the descendant of Pyros, the Flame Titan. Next to Ozone, he is the element that is not a solid being like Valanche. Wolfgang planned to have Lavar engulf the North Pole once he succeeded in overthrowing the Gods. He and Ozone were both frozen by Hansel.

* **Fire Manipulation:** Lavar can manipulate and shape fire. He is the physical manifestation of the element fire.
* **Lava Mimicry:** Lavar's body is made up of lava

Thawe is the descendant of Hydros, the Ice Titan. Just like Hansel and Marley, his ice magic is very powerful and considered very dangerous as his freezing can kill a person. He's the only element to be defeated by Cerberus' fire magic.

* **Ice Manipulation:** Thawe's prominent ability is to control ice and snow.
* **Blizzard Creation:** Thawe is able to use a combination of cold, winds and snow, sleet, hail and ice to create blizzards of varying power.

Ozone is the descendant of Stratos, the Mystic Voice. Due to being the manifestation of a tornado, he has the face of a wolf. Since Ozone was made of air, he was frozen by Hansel.

* **Air Manipulation:** Ozone is capable of controlling and manipulating air.
* **Tornado Mimicry:** Ozone's body is made up of a twister.

## Appearances

### The Enchanted Pup

The Growlers are first seen inside containment units that is located down in the sewer where Wolfgang often goes down to take care and strengthen their powers that's forming, every day. Wolfgang plans to have the Growlers released as soon as they're strong enough to defeat creatures more powerful than him. The Growlers were shown to be very hungry as they snarled at Wolfgang whenever he waved his finger at them. He promised them that he has prepared a special meal for them.

After Wolfgang manages to catch up to Hansel and his family, he sedates and has him thrown off a cliff to his presumed death. With Hansel supposedly dead and out of the way, Wolfgang was free to take over whatever planet he could with no interference from any powerful creature. The Growlers were finally released from their containment units on the Moon and grew into a gigantic, demonic monsters bent on destroying Mount Olympus and its residents. The Growlers break into Mount Olympus and hold the Olympian Gods prisoners while Wolfgang drained them of their immortality and stripped Zeus of his lightning pendant and pinned it on himself, thus making him an almighty god and declared himself as the new ruler of the universe. He then ordered Valanche to devour the Gods since they were in his clutches. Fortunately, Hansel (who survived the fall) rescues Zeus and the Gods. Now bent on killing Hansel once and for all, Wolfgang orders the Growlers to attack and kill the Pup Family. Bradley, finally gaining full control over his shapeshifting abilities, turns himself into a cheetah and lures a raging Valanche through a condemned temple, smashing everything in sight. While Bradley makes it out safely, Valanche is fatally crushed by the collapsing pillar.

Adam faces Lavar by using the trident's power to drench him in water but breaks through the wave as he's immune to water. Lavar prepares to devour Adam but Hansel freezes Lavar, freezing him in his tracks. Ozone scoops Amber, Yukon and Maize and prepares to drop them into the void of space but Zephyr, the Wind Spirit grabs Ozone and holds him back, allowing Amber and her children to escape. Breaking free of Zephyr's control, Ozone prepares to attack the squirrel for interfering with his plans but Hansel freezes Ozone, fatally stopping him and turning him into a statue. Suddenly, Hansel encounters Thawe but seeing how his magic is no good against an Ice demon, Hansel is out of luck. Fortunately, Cerberus uses his fire breath to melt Thawe, killing him and defeating the Growlers once and for all.

### The Enchanted Pup 2

Taking one year after the events of the film, the Olympian Gods have hung a portrait of Hansel fighting and defeating the Growlers with help from his friends and as a way to thank Hansel for saving their lives. Shortly after Tyrone leaves the kingdom, Hansel begins to have nightmares about the kingdom being destroyed by monsters, one of them being the Growlers.
