Not just any big bad wolf, but THE Big Bad Wolf. The one with The Three Little Pigs, or Little Red Riding Hood, or both.note Or less famously The Wolf and the Seven Young Kids, Peter and the Wolf, and a number of Aesop's Fables. In short, the archetypical wolf who appears as an antagonist in multiple Fairy Tales and Fables. When the Big Bad Wolf appears in works of fiction, there are some common themes included, such as his predation on children, pigs and innocent young women in red, his knack for disguising himself (used to fool Little Red Riding Hood), and his powerful lungs (used to destroy two of the Three Little Pigs' houses). He's also been known to appear in sheep's clothing. Additionally, adult-oriented fairytale retellings since the seventies or so have developed a tradition in which he is often either a werewolf or a wolfwere (a wolf who turns into a human). This character is a common target of Alternative Character Interpretation, so when adding an example, please specify how the Big Bad Wolf is portrayed. The character is usually a savage wolf, but please note that the character doesn't have to be a genuine wolf to fit this trope. Those are traditional characteristics of the character, but Alternative Character Interpretation can go quite far. Not to be confused with a Big Bad who's a wolf, though sometimes they are, or with Bad Wolf (although that name is inspired by this character, as mentioned among the examples). See also Big Bad Wolf the movie. For big wolves (whether or not, strictly speaking, bad), please see Canis Major. Examples |

The Big Bad Wolf appears in an episode of Tales from the Crypt, in an ultraviolent adaptation of "The Three Little Pigs". This version of the wolf is one of the more intelligent and cunning ones; he eats and kills the first two pigs by tricking them into opening the door instead of simply blowing the house down (which he already tried) and frames the third for the crime with the help of an all-wolf jury. When the third pig escapes and takes revenge on the wolf, he ultimately revives as a zombie and kills the third pig. | |

The Three Little Bops revamped the story as being set in a jazz club where the three little pigs are a hot band. The Big Bad Wolf only resorts to blowing the clubs down when the pigs refuse to let him and his lousy trumpet jam with them. The wolf actually becomes a fairly competent musician after he dies and goes to hell. | |

The Far Side: One cartoon depicted a city of pigs and straw skyscrapers, with a wolf driving towards it thinking, "Oh man... I've been away too long." In another cartoon, he was at a psychiatrist, telling the doctor that he's still been dressing like Red Riding Hood's grandmother ever since that incident. (And understandably finds it bizarre.) Yet another one has the wolf and the pig who burned him tied up in court: |

Digimon: Fangmon, a constantly salivating wolflike Digimon with red fur and creepily long legs, claws and jaws, was explicitly formed from data of the monstrous wolves of fairy tales and adopts many of their traits, such as lurking in forests to prey on those who lose their way; its habit of disguising itself as its prey's loved ones is lifted directly from Little Red Riding Hood's classic version of the Big Bad Wolf. | |

The Wolf pursues Red Riding Hood in Into the Woods. Basically played straight, although with disturbing overtones about what his actual intentions toward Red are. Traditionally, the wolf suit is as Anatomically Correct as the production feels they can get away with. And since the Wolf is standing like a human (for obvious reasons), it's a lot more obvious than it would be on an actual wolf. | |

Yogi Bear and Boo Boo deal with the wolf (Daws Butler doing Phil Silvers) and the Three Little Pigs in the cartoon "Oinks and Boinks" where the bears get lost. The pigs, knowing that the wolf will show up, give them the straw house and the wooden house and each time the wolf blows them down because it's his obligation. Yogi and Boo Boo find their cave only to find the pigs squatting there rationalizing that they gave the bears two of their houses and there was no logistical justification in building the brick house. The wolf finds his way to the cave where he orders the pigs out and to follow the story as it was written ("I want to frustrate myself!!") | |

His introduction includes a pile of children's books showing the monstrous Big Bad Wolf as the antagonist. This connection is Played for Drama later; deep down, he's unhappy having to live his life as a feared criminal but was never given a chance to be anything else. | |

Hard Candy is one particularly disturbing modern version of Little Red Riding Hood, with a girl who calls herself Haley in the role of Little Red Riding Hood as well as the woodsman. An Internet pedophile named Jeff fills the role of the Big Bad Wolf, luring Haley over to his place under false pretenses and then starts trying to get her drunk. It goes downhill from there, but maybe not exactly in the way Jeff had planned... | |

Shrek: The Big Bad Wolf is a character in the Shrek franchise, still wearing Red Riding Hood's Grandmother's nightgown and bonnet. He's actually one of the good guys, and is best friends with the pigs, but can still huff and puff and blow a house — or a squad of the villain's mooks — down with ease. A later short shows that while he doesn't want to eat the three little pigs, he transforms into a human woman during the full moon that does. A second wolf (carrying sickles) appears in Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. While various marketing materials referred to him as the Big Bad Wolf, he is never referred to as such in the actual film and is treated as a separate character. Ironically, this wolf is far more intimidating in both appearance and actions. In fact, the reason why he's a separate character is because he's The Grim Reaper himself. |

Jack's Big Music Show has the "Little Bad Wolf", younger brother of the Big Bad Wolf. In the namesake episode, Big Bad is on vacation, so Little Bad takes on huffing and puffing and blowing stuff away in Jack's clubhouse (which he first thought was the three little pigs' house). In the end, Jack and his friends convince him to blow a tuba instead. | |

The Big Bad Wolf shows up in House of Mouse as the jazz musician "Big Bad Wolf Daddy" to perform for the club alongside the Three Little Pigs whom he has on a "play or fillet" contract (either they play in his band or he eats them). Also, his "huff and puff" reaction is triggered not by the pigs, but doors. | |

In Hoodwinked!, the Big Bad Wolf turns out to be an intelligent but bumbling Intrepid Reporter and a Master of Disguise, modeled on Irwin Fletcher. As it turns out, he is neither trying to attack Red Puckett (who he thinks was the villain due to an eavesdropped conversation that has a poor reception) nor responsible for the goody thefts that cause the story's main conflict. He is actually a good guy who ends up helping Red catch the real villain in the end. | |

In Supernatural, when a ghost is making a town re-enact fairy tales (not as cutesy as it sounds, this is Supernatural, after all), a young man with a Wile E Coyote tattoo gets hypnotised into being the Big Bad Wolf. He attacks three overweight builder brothers, killing two and injuring one (the Three Little Pigs), then murders an old lady and abducts her granddaughter (Little Red Riding Hood). He's freed from control as Sam stops the ghost, just as Dean, acting out the part of the huntsman, is about to kill him. | |

Sesame Street: The Big Bad Wolf is a relatively harmless version of the character who eventually gives up chasing the pigs and takes up bubble-blowing as a hobby. However, he doesn't hesitate to huff and puff in anger when losing a game. He also has a kindly brother named Leonard who gets along well with pigs and explains that he isn't like the Big Bad Wolf at all. In one skit, the wolf stops chasing Little Red Riding Hood when they both get angry at the Huntsman when they find out he chopped down a tree they both liked, and then they both start to chase after him. Another sketch had the pigs trying to take the wolf to court, but keep accidentally accusing the wrong person (This is a LITTLE Bad Wolf. This is a Big GOOD Wolf. This is a Big Bad CHICKEN). Then the actual Big Bad Wolf shows up and the pigs don't recognize him because he's wearing a false beard. |

"The Wolf and the Seven Young Kids", which has similar motifs to Little Red Riding Hood - the malevolent wolf tricks seven young goats with disguises and swallows all but the youngest, who together with their mother is able to rescue the others. The Wolf appears in "The Goat and Her Three Kids", a Romanian variant of "The Wolf and the Seven Young Kids". |

In Seventh Endmost Vision, while the Big Bad Wolf himself doesn't appear, motifs from his stories are repeatedly used for the main villain, Lucrecia; one character even thinks of her labcoat as a set of grandmother's clothes, all just a way to hide the monster within. | |

Alexander Graham Wolf, the Wile E. Coyote Expy from the Raggedy Ann cartoon The Great Santa Claus Caper is identified by Comet as the Big Bad Wolf. His main villainous act in-story is taking over Santa Claus's toy factory, encasing toys in his invention, and forcing children to pay for them. The Wolf is eventually redeemed through The Power of Love. | |

The The Order of the Stick Stick Tale "Little Red Riding Hoodlum" casts Belkar as the wolf. The wolf's villainy is considerably downplayed from the original story; he only wants one of the muffins Red (Haley) is carrying. He locks Red's "grandparent" (V) in a closet, then tries to pretend that he's the grandparent who's polymorphed into a wolf, but Red sees right through it. He ends up being knocked out and becomes a druid's animal companion. | |

A MAD page from 1962 imported the Big Bad Wolf (from Disney's lot in Burbank, apparently) to huff and puff and blow the Berlin Wall down. Years later, in Sergio Aragonés "A Mad Look at Fairy Tales", he tries and fails to blow the Pigs' brick house down, only to stop, gasping for breath; then he storms off, throwing away a box of cigarettes as he does. (Implying that those are the reason he couldn't.) |

In a Woody Woodpecker cartoon, Woody decides to mess up the story completely. After finding out that the Wolf simply mugged Red on the road and took her basket, he manages to get to the house before the Wolf does, convinces Granny to go to a ball game, and then turns the tables on the wolf, dressing up in Granny's clothes and tricking him in a similar fashion, then driving him away after driving him crazy. Unfortunately, when Granny comes home, she's upset; apparently, she and the Wolf had been secretly dating. | |

He finally decides to just make a vegetable salad. | |

In Fables, The Big Bad Wolf is known as Bigby. He's a great hero, with doing the Big Damn Heroes routine as one of his specialties. But he did very bad things a long time ago, and he is still feared and hated by many. Because the other fairytale animals distrust him, Bigby became a reverse werewolf so that he can pass as a human. His blowing abilities come from his father, the North Wind. | |

A second wolf (carrying sickles) appears in Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. While various marketing materials referred to him as the Big Bad Wolf, he is never referred to as such in the actual film and is treated as a separate character. Ironically, this wolf is far more intimidating in both appearance and actions. In fact, the reason why he's a separate character is because he's The Grim Reaper himself. | |

In The Sisters Grimm, the Big Bad Wolf is Mr. Canis. He has actually become a good friend with the three little pigs and apparently the story of Little Red Riding Hood is very different: the one that everyone knows is a lie that the woodsman made up to make himself famous while Mr. Canis lost all his memories in the incident. However, the real Big Bad Wolf is a dangerous and feral spirit who the good-natured Mr. Canis has to fight for control. Red Riding Hood later accepts the Wolf's spirit into herself to help fight the villains. | |

In one episode of Sleepy Hollow, Ichabod and his comrades encounter a Barghest, which according to Crane, was the creature that The Brothers Grimm drew inspiration from in creating the story of Red Riding Hood, particularly its ability to take on a human form. In this case, the Barghest disguised itself as young Molly's stepfather in order to kill her. For extra homage, while Molly is running from the creature, she is wearing a red coat that is fluttering like a cape. | |

In Kevin & Kell, Kell and her son Rudy claim to be descended from the Big Bad Wolf. Kell later proves it by blowing all the leaves off their home, and later the layer of shedded fur that was causing gridlock in Domain. Note that along with them, Kell's brother Ralph has the same claim. So does Kell's daughter Coney and Ralph's daughter Corrie (and Corrie's clone Mary). What makes those last claimants unusual is that Coney's a rabbit and Corrie and Mary are sheep. When it turns out the Dewclaws all carry the domestication gene, Lindesfarne suggests the Big Bad Wolf may have called himself that because he was overcompensating. | |

He loves to mock his opponent, in this case Sanji, into thinking that he surrendered only to reveal that it was a trap and that you should never trust a big bad wolf. Though, he's also a bit of a subversion in that while the rest of CP9 revel in their jobs, especially assassination, Jabra sees killing as business, dirty business, but just business. He hates drawing out pain and causing suffering, and seeks to end fights with the kill-strike as fast as possible. | |

It appears as a very large, seemingly-friendly cartoon-esque wolf that can be placated by feeding it agents, which you regain the next day.

Red: The Red Riding Hood Musical is an adaptation of the original fairy tale, and an exploration of the different versions of the story. The Wolf is played straight, albeit with a profoundly creepy stalker-y vibe to him. Right up until the end, when the story tellers start arguing over which version of the ending they should re-enact, at which point the "wolf" (played by one of the storytellers) starts arguing with Red and Grandma over which one of them gets eaten, and whether or not he gets shot. | |

Faerie Tale Theatre had two very different takes on this trope: In the "Little Red Riding Hood" episode, he's played by Malcolm McDowell as a Faux Affably Evil sort (he got kicked out of his pack "Just because I ate that little boy all by myself"). While he manages to eat both Red's grandmother and Red herself, they're not only rescued by a woodcutter who cuts them out of the wolf's belly, but they proceed to fill it with vegetables and sew it up...turning him into a vegetarian. In the Played for Laughs "The Three Little Pigs" Buck Wolf (Jeff Goldblum) has the mannerisms of a Cigar Chomper gangster and loves to push others around, but is also a lazy Henpecked Husband who's only pursuing the pigs because his seen-but-not-heard wife Nadine orders him to get one for some visiting coyotes. He's not only outwitted by the pigs in the end, but they tie him up and leave him on a platter outside his cave as a last humiliation! |

Bozo: The World's Most Famous Clown deals with a couple of clueless wolves. The first wolf first tries stealing the sheep of Bozo's uncle then tries to get to Red Riding Hood's grandma (only to get flummoxed by Bozo telling him there was never a clown in the Red Riding Hood story). The second was Wacko Wolf who was a con artist. | |

At one part of the Barney & Friends video "Come On Over To Barney's House", Barney gets visited by the Big Bad Wolf (with only the latter's grey arms visible), who threatens to huff and puff and blow his house down. After Barney prompts the viewers to guess who is at the doornote refering to the wolf in the end as "The Mean Old Wolf" instead of "Big Bad", the wolf mentions that he doesn't have any friends. Barney convices him to use his huffing and puffing for better things, like blowing up a ball. And, as the wolf is still hungry, he also tells him to try his peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. The wolf likes them, arguing that his mother makes similar ones. | |

The character Wolfie, who made his debut in "Red Hot Riding Hood", is either a Casanova Wannabe lusting after Red, or being chased by Droopy. Avery created another interpretation of the character for Three Little Pups in the '50s: a slow-witted, deadpan bungler with a Southern drawl (which voice artist Daws Butler would later reuse for Huckleberry Hound). | |

In The Woodsman, the main character is not the Big Bad Wolf. Or is he? In this dark drama about a man who was recently released from 12 years in prison for raping a child, "The Woodsman" and "The Big Bad Wolf" exist only as underlying archtypes for who he wants to be and who he fears to be. | |

Smile Pretty Cure!: Wolfrun is based off of this trope. During the episode where Miyuki was sucked into Cinderella, he used his powerful lungs to create a powerful wind that toppled the pumpkin carriage. In another episode, he disguised himself as a human (which the Big Bad Wolf would sometimes do). His true form is that of a fairy who played this role in fairy tales back in the Magical Land. He was hunted and despised, which made him easy for Joker to brainwash him. | |

Doctor Who: Rose uses "Bad Wolf" as an alias after merging with the Time Vortex. This was foreshadowed in "The Unquiet Dead" when Rose encounters a woman who has the power to see the future. This is playfully turned in on itself in the Doctor Who Expanded Universe book Time Lord Fairy Tales with a Twice-Told Tale version of "Little Red Riding Hood" in which the heroine is aware of the stories of a Bad Wolf in the woods — but she's patterned on Rose...The actual villain turns out to be a Zygon instead. |

Big bad wolves appear in several episodes of Simsala Grimm. In "The Wolf and Seven Kids", the wolf's White Sheep son "convinces" him and his wife to quit eating meat. In "Little Red Riding Hood", the wolf is a Dumb Muscle brute who is manipulated by a flea on his back, and in "The Three Little Pigs" the pigs' snoring scares the wolf away. | |

The last original Bugs Bunny cartoon, "False Hare," had Bugs' pondering joining Big Bad's club for rabbits, but immediately wise decides to play along with Big Bad as little more than the rabbit's Butt-Monkey. Throughout the cartoon, Big Bad's adoring nephew joins him in the quest, which ends with Big Bad's house being destroyed and Foghorn Leghorn wanting to join the wolf's new "chicken club." | |

In the original Yu-Gi-Oh!, Leon had a card called "Forest Wolf" among his fairy-tale themed cards that was based on the wolf in the story of Little Red Riding Hood (and he had a card depicting her, too), dressed in a nightgown who could attack opposing monsters by swallowing them. (But if it was destroyed, the opponent would get the monster back, symbolizing how the Huntsman in some versions were able to rescue its devoured victims by cutting him open.) When Rebecca (his opponent) asked if it was the Big Bad Wolf, he replied, "That's another story." (Being somewhat of an authority on such stories, he wasn't joking.) | |

Wolf) using his breath to knock down bricks in the wall that the pigs (controlled by the player) try to patch up before he blows a big enough hole to capture them. His breath, due to Atari 2600 graphics, looks like a laser beam, and becomes part of his Vacuum Mouth when it makes contact with any of the pigs. | |

The big bad wolf appears in an old Mighty Mouse cartoon named "Mighty Mouse and the Wolf", on which the super-heroic mouse saves Little Red Riding Hood, a flock of sheep and the Three Little Pigs from him. In "Mother Goose's Birthday Party", the wolf is the only one not invited to the titular party. The reason why becomes apparent when he crashes it to get even, but fortunately, Mighty Mouse shows up to deal with him. "The Reformed Wolf" has said canine explaining to a friend why he's gone vegetarian. Every time he tried to steal a sheep, he was thwarted in ways that baffled him, never realizing Mighty Mouse was behind it each time. The villain of "Mighty Mouse Meets Deadeye Dick" is a wolf that Mighty Mouse bests twice, posing as a mysterious stranger at first then going in drag as a buxom belle later. |

Red Riding Hood has the Big Bad Wolf as a werewolf capable of telepathic conversations with the heroine. There are various suspects for the human identity of the wolf; the grandmother (who's rather creepy,) the heroine's boyfriend (who wants her to leave town with him, which is what the wolf asks her to do) are the most prominent. The wolf is in fact the heroine's father, which puts his very predatory behaviour towards his own daughter in a rather more disturbing light. | |

The Piggsburg Pigs! had two Comic Relief antagonist: the wolves Huff and Puff (which contrasted with the really evil and scary monsters that the main characters normally encounter) but still were clearly based on the Big Bad Wolf. | |
