Wolf O'Donnell

"I'll be the one to take you down!"

- Wolf O'Donnell

Wolf O'Donnell is the longtime rival of Fox McCloud, who appears in the Star Fox series of games, making his debut in Star Fox 64. He is the leader of the Star Wolf wing, a rival team to Fox's Star Fox team. Wolf later appears as an unlockable playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. After a ten year absence in the Super Smash Bros. series, he has been confirmed to be returning to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, for the Nintendo Switch.

Super Smash Bros. Melee
Wolf makes a minor appearance during the intro of Super Smash Bros. Melee. When Fox flies by a Wolfen, the screen splits to show Fox and Wolf inside the cockpits.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl


Wolf is one of the unlockable characters in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, using his appearance from Star Fox: Assault and is voiced by Jay Ward. According to Masahiro Sakurai, Wolf was nearly cut from the game due to time constraints. He is both the biggest and heaviest of the Star Fox characters. He is not as fast as Fox and Falco, but his attacks are more powerful. His aerial speed is better than that of Fox's and Falco's. He can be unlocked by having him join the party in The Subspace Emissary, playing 400 Brawl matches, or by clearing Boss Battles with either Fox or Falco, then defeating him on Lylat Cruise.

Though his special moves are based on the basic design of Fox's special moves, they have been altered for Wolf, with new effects for all of them. All his standard moves are different as well. Wolf's neutral special move is the Blaster, though unlike Fox and Falco's the gun has a claw-like extension that damages nearby opponents. His side special is Wolf Flash, which gives Wolf some vertical height and has a meteor smash at the end. His up special is Fire Wolf, in which Wolf instantly charges in the direction held on the control stick, the air surrounding him damaging opponents. His down special is Reflector, which has a different visual effect than the other characters' Reflectors and increases the speed of reflected items and projectiles rather than power. His Final Smash is the Landmaster, his version having more firepower and sports Wolfen coloration.

Wolf also appears in all of the Star Fox character smash taunts on Lylat Cruise.

The Subspace Emissary
In the Subspace Emissary, Wolf doesn't play a major role and does not interact with other video game characters, but can join the player's party after beating Tabuu, along with Jigglypuff and Toon Link. The player must enter a special Red Door in The Ruins stage, which will take them to Lylat Cruise. The player sees Wolf flying his Wolfen. He then jumps out of the Wolfen, and lands on the cruise. Wolf strikes a pose and then rushes at the player attacking him or her. The player must then defeat Wolf in a one-life stock battle. After defeat, he joins the party.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U
While Wolf does not return as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, he still appears as part of the smash taunt on Lylat Cruise in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Wolf also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game. Finally, some of Wolf's moves have been implemented as custom special moves for Fox, and Fox also has a palette swap that references Wolf.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Wolf will reappear for the first time as a playable character since Super Smash Bros. Brawl in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, where he has been redesigned to match his appearance in Star Fox Zero.

Website bio
''The Star Fox team’s greatest rival is Team Star Wolf. Sitting at the head of this group is Wolf O’Donnell.''

''Wolf fights with his razor-sharp claws in a style that’s downright feral. His high risk, high return special moves are a blast to use.''

Snake's codec

 * Snake: Colonel, there's a guy in here who looks like a wolf...
 * Colonel: You mean the fighter named Wolf.
 * Snake: "Wolf". Real imaginative name...
 * Colonel: He's the leader of a ragtag team called "Star Wolf". They're the longtime rivals of Star Fox.
 * Snake: Kind of strange for a wolf to have friends, isn't it?
 * Colonel: Well, I don't think he works well with others. I suppose they're more like hangers-on than actual comrades. But he's a remarkable pilot. And his ship, the "Wolfen", is no slouch, either.
 * Snake: But this is hand-to-hand combat, Colonel. He's out of his element.
 * Colonel: Careful, Snake. Those claws of his aren't just for show.
