"The wolf" commonly believed to be named Twisted Wolf, is one of the four twisted animatronics and an antagonist of the novel Five Nights at Freddy's: The Twisted Ones. It was created by William Afton to hunt down and kill Charlotte Emily.
Physical Appearance
Twisted Wolf appears to be a cross between an actual bipedal wolf and an animatronic. He's tall, with gray fur, sharp teeth, and a sleek snout. He has long, silken ears, and blue self-illuminating eyes. His limb movements appear to be uncertain, as he appears to be stooped over, with one arm twisted downward while the other flailed up. He morphs in a disorienting fashion, between an gray-haired figure to a plastic-looking creature.
The right side of his body more closely resembles a wolf, being very furry and a mane that ran over the top of its head and down its back, and the right hand and right foot being smaller. The left side however, is more robotic, with a visible endoskeleton, rubbery translucent skin, a wider left eye socket, and spikes protruding from his left arm.
Personality
Not much is known about the Twisted Wolf's personality or history. He seems to be a mindless beast that follows William Afton's orders with no extensions, alongside a seemingly feral nature.
History
The Twisted Ones
The wolf is first seen by Charlie in Chapter 8. Clay Burke was in his police car, along with Charlie, John, and Jessica, who were all sleeping. Clay was watching from a far distance the mounds that was made by the twisted animatronics that the teenagers discovered in a backyard, that was damaged by a hurricane. Even though there were multiple mounds, one of them were housed by Twisted Freddy.
Tired of waiting, he grabs a flashlight and exited the car cautiously, to check on the mounds. Charlie was startled and roused from her sleep. She wakes up John and Jessica as she quickly leaves and runs to check on the mounds as well. To her surprise, the mounds were gone. As Clay runs back to the car, Charlie tries to catch up but hears a high-pitched scream. Charlie then realized that she was alone in the woods, then sees the wolf. The wolf stared at her for a moment, then spasmed alarmingly with his chest splitting open. A women fell from inside him, landing on the ground. The wolf then turns and heads into the woods until it disappears into the dark. Clay approaches from behind Charlie and tries to assist the woman, who was still alive, while John and the others get help.
In Chapter 13, after Twisted Freddy got shot several times by Clay, the wolf appeared in a corridor along with Twisted Bonnie. As the twisted animatronics were slowly approaching the group, getting ready to attack, they were stopped by Springtrap.
Later, as Charlie, John, Jessica, and Clay were getting chased by the wolf and Twisted Bonnie in the underground pizzeria, they reached the room with a waterfall and headed directly for a passage beneath the cliff, where the water emerged. Then when they saw the two twisted animatronics, they stared at them so that they can cross through the river, destroying them, but they survived. Clay had the idea to light the water with gasoline, since there were gas cans nearby, but it didn't work either. Even though the wolf and Twisted Bonnie survived, they were heavily damaged.
After Charlie left to find Springtrap, Clay, Jessica, and John were cornered. The wolf attempted to attack them, but was subsequently destroyed by Foxy.
Trivia
- A wolf animatronic was originally intended to appear in the first Five Nights at Freddy's game before ending up scrapped, as revealed in Dawko's interview with Scott Cawthon on the franchise's 4th anniversary.[1] This concept was possibly reused for Twisted Wolf.
- Concept art of Twisted Wolf revealed that his right eye was originally going to be pale green while his left eye would be red, and his appearance would be much more divided between robotic and organic.
- Twisted Wolf made few cameos in the main game series outside of the novel universe:
- In Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator, a similar beast appeared in "The Legend of the Terrible Man-Wolf" poster from the Back Alley seen in Scrap Baby's rare screen.
- This same poster can be found in Ultimate Custom Night in CAM 01.
- In Ultimate Custom Night, during the second episode of Toy Chica: The High School Years, a wolf animatronic is seen as one of Toy Chica's love interests. As Twisted Wolf was the only wolf in the entire series, until Security Breach, this is very likely a direct reference to him.
- In Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator, a similar beast appeared in "The Legend of the Terrible Man-Wolf" poster from the Back Alley seen in Scrap Baby's rare screen.
- The wolf is the first animatronic in the novel series so far to never truly be named. Throughout The Twisted Ones, he is only referred to as "the wolf", not even capitalized.
- It should be noted that Golden Freddy was the first unnamed character to appear in the series, with Golden Freddy only starting out as a fan name for the character, later officialized in Five Nights at Freddy's 2. However, Wolf has gone for an extended amount of time without a true name, even being referred to as Wolf on multiple pieces of merchandise.
