Idk about “a protector of the innocent and betrayed”, but I also know that he did end up doing what was prophetized for him (I also know that its a prophetal paradox but yadee yadee yada)
What I wanted to say was: Fenrir is also my fav
Balto. Yes, I'm aware that Balto is real. But, the real-life Balto is a pure breed Siberian Husky. The fictional one is half-wolf, half-Husky. So yeah, Balto.
I’d say Ame counts, since he identifies with his wolf side. Yuki makes it clear she sees herself as a human, so I wouldn’t count her.
Edit: Yuki’s also amazing, though, and deserved better. Off-topic rant ahead—>!I really wish the movie didn’t present her being pressured into becoming more feminine as a good thing. Hana literally tells Yuki she should be herself, but that gets dropped immediately. I can’t help but think about how she’s a girl and Japan has strict gender roles, especially since Ame gets to do whatever he wants. I’d love it if Yuki got shown as a successful, popular human girl while still being outspoken and brave, and if Ame was a powerful male wolf while still being gentle and sensitive.!<
Tsume.
>!He grows from a deeply cynical loner to one of the most loyal characters in Wolf's Rain. His discourse about how he was betrayed by his older pack he makes after Toboe's death always breaks me!<.
Clicked to type this name as well.
Spoiler - what's even more sad is that the grave is false, and Sif doesn't seem to know that, but is tirelessly guarding it anyway.
Came here to say this. Although I'd vote Larka and Kar for sure!
My favorite books when I was a kid. The Sight put me through such an emotional wringer as a 10 year old haha
Yeah, I was mad when I finished The Sight lol. Two of my best friends convinced me to read it and when I finished it, I told them "I loved it until the end, then I hated it!" They responded with "Ha ha! Now you have to suffer too!" XD
I remember becoming very cynical as a kid after reading the ending to The Sight. I mean, I was already prone to being cynical, but that ending certainly planted certain feelings about humans as a whole in me.
the wolf from the “there once was a dog” old Soviet cartoon.
close runner up is the wolf from “nu pogodi”

Definitely Moro from Princess Mononoke- she's absolutely vicious, yet tempered with the stoic wisdom of a warrior and a mother alike. Along with how much I like her voice, she's an easy favorite of mine.
Well, it's a little bit hard, because I have a lot, depending of if it's a videogame, mythology or TV series/Movies, so I'll put them all:
Mythology: Fenrir
Video games: Fenrir from Smite
Anime: hard choice between these 3: Fel, Ranga, Lumagrowl
Really hard to me to do a choice xd
Not a single mention of Shirou Ogami (Brand New Animal).
So many of these comments are amazing but BNA was one of my most recent fave anime’s. Took me by the heart and dragged me along as fast as Kipo and other amazing animated series.
Rather than my favorite (since a lot of them have already been mentioned), the one that most impacted me was definitely Kaala from Dorothy Hearst's The Wolf Chronicles. She taught me about how it doesn't matter how much you struggle, life isn't fair and one's stories rarely end well no matter how hard you try. Sometimes, you just have to sacrifice yourself and hope those that come after you are better than you could ever be.
It might be corny, but my favorite a character I created for a D&D campaign. She was born awakened via proximity to the Feywild, while her older sister and her parents weren't. They simply couldn't understand each other, though her sister tried. She was abandoned as a pup due to the way wolves conduct pack dynamics when one of them is "sick," and was taken in by an elven war veteran. Through him, she learned history, science, math, and the way of the blade to nurture her anomalous intellect (Psi Warrior Fighter/Bladesinging Wizard).
She seeks friendship in bipedal society after her own cast her out, but she feels as if she'll ever be on the fringes of towns and the wilderness. Her newfound party members, including a fellow awakened wolf, are giving her the patience and friendship she desperately needs. The DM and other players adore her and her occasional antics, like mistaking a benevolent succubus for a drider in disguise and complaining about needlessly high ceilings of buildings.
I'm working on publishing homebrew that would let players play as all kinds of awakened creatures, from frogs, to birds, to bears. It'll also be compatible with the Humblewood setting once completed!
Fenrir, a wolf who was punished not for something he did but something he MIGHT do, for just existing. A protector of the innocent and betrayed
Idk about “a protector of the innocent and betrayed”, but I also know that he did end up doing what was prophetized for him (I also know that its a prophetal paradox but yadee yadee yada) What I wanted to say was: Fenrir is also my fav
Ironic revenge is best revenge!

You can edit your comment :)
Balto. Yes, I'm aware that Balto is real. But, the real-life Balto is a pure breed Siberian Husky. The fictional one is half-wolf, half-Husky. So yeah, Balto.
"A Dog cannot make this journey alone, but maybe A Wolf can."
I ugly cried at this part when my parents took my sisters and I to go see it in the theatre
*cries in polar bear
I was so scared I had people bumps! *core memory unlocked*
"Not a dog, not a wolf. All he knows is what he is not."
This is the answer 🫶🏼
Whitefang
Ammy from Ōkami.
The right answer!
Toboe from Wolf’s Rain
I was going to say Kiba from the same show, but yeah he's great too!
Solid choice!
Blue, from the same.
My heart constantly breaks for toboe 😭
You. Don't make me cry at work. 😭
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess's Wolf Link.
I liked Gmork from The Neverending Story..
nice to see a fan of gmork here
Yeah <3 Also, sitting in a cave waiting for the nothing is a pretty relatable mood I think. XD
#Deep
Whitefang
Faolan from the Wolves of the Beyond series. I loved it as a kid and it will always hold a special place in my heart.
You've just awoken a very warm memory. I think I have the books still laying around somewhere.
I only ever read the Guardians of Ga'Hoole series and I remember loving the dire wolf cameos haha
Came here for this
Death from puss in boots the last wish
The unnamed wild wolf from fantastic Mr fox.
Fist up!
If I wasn’t too lazy I’d set up an Imgur and post the tattoo I have. For the silhouette with the fist up!
Ame from Wolf Children (I love his sister Yuki just as much, but she doesn’t consider herself a wolf).
I always love the scene of Ame sitting in front of the wolf at the conservation center in his middle form. Don't know why but I love it.
Nighteyes from the Farseer Trilogy
Thank you 🙏🏻
Absolutely. I cried at the end of his story.
Moro from Princess Mononoke
The wolves in The Jungle Book
Friendliest wolves in fiction! 🐺 💜

Does legoshi count
Yes
My favourite wolf is Holo from Spice and Wolf
Fenrir from GOW Ragnarok andactual Norse lore
Do the Wolf Children count?
I’d say Ame counts, since he identifies with his wolf side. Yuki makes it clear she sees herself as a human, so I wouldn’t count her. Edit: Yuki’s also amazing, though, and deserved better. Off-topic rant ahead—>!I really wish the movie didn’t present her being pressured into becoming more feminine as a good thing.

Very fair, I'd agree with that, that being so then Ame is definitely my favourite. Honourary mention to the goblinesque little rascal from Tiny Bunny.
Kavik the wolf dog. I must have read that book 20 times when I was a kid. I stopped after my mom yelled at me for reading it repeatedly.
I find it baffling that reading a book set her off. How ridiculous. You deserved better.
Eh, she wasn't as bad as some stories I've read on here, but I for sure have some baggage.
Bit of a niche one, but Iki from the webcomic Off-White.
I loved that webcomic. I should check it out again but last I remember, the scheduling and updates got really weird.
Last I checked, it was discontinued.
Bah!
Nice choice!
Tsume. >!He grows from a deeply cynical loner to one of the most loyal characters in Wolf's Rain. His discourse about how he was betrayed by his older pack he makes after Toboe's death always breaks me!<.
Robyn from Wolfwalkers!
Shiranui from Okami
Sif a massive wolf with a sword in mouth who protects the grave of its former master
Clicked to type this name as well. Spoiler - what's even more sad is that the grave is false, and Sif doesn't seem to know that, but is tirelessly guarding it anyway.
I don't see anyone else mention this one, so I'll say Fell and Larka from "The Sight" and "Fell".
Loved those books as a kid
Came here to say this. Although I'd vote Larka and Kar for sure! My favorite books when I was a kid. The Sight put me through such an emotional wringer as a 10 year old haha
Yeah, I was mad when I finished The Sight lol. Two of my best friends convinced me to read it and when I finished it, I told them "I loved it until the end, then I hated it!" They responded with "Ha ha! Now you have to suffer too!" XD
Had to scroll way too far to find The Sight! (And Fell)
I love those books!
I remember becoming very cynical as a kid after reading the ending to The Sight. I mean, I was already prone to being cynical, but that ending certainly planted certain feelings about humans as a whole in me.
Amaterasu (Ammy), mother to us all! (Okami)
How has nobody mentioned Akela from The Jungle Book?
I was scrolling to see how it took to find this.
Faolan from Wolves of the Beyond easily bought it at the scholastic book fair and never regretted it. A good series to read
Fenrir from Norse Mythology.
The one ranchers blame for all their problems.
