The Big Bad Wolf is a classic archetype of fiction, and one of my favorites. I think it’s also fair to say that the various classic stories featuring the Big Bad Wolf - and adaptations thereof - might well be considered “the OG Vore/Stuffing Stories” for a lot of people. For a while now, I’ve wanted to do a countdown of various takes on the Wolf that I have a crush on, and highlight the ones that make me blush the most. However - perhaps for lack of personal confidence, or just as a result of my ever-shifting tastes - I had a really hard time settling on which ones to discuss, and how to rank them. Well, the time has come at last to make an attempt at that endeavor.

Now, there are a LOT of Big Bad Wolf stories out there, so for the sake of this list, I’ll be focusing on interpretations of the character taken from the following classic tales: Red Riding Hood, The Three Little Pigs, The Wolf and the Seven Kids, and Peter and the Wolf. These, to me, are sort of the definitive Big Bad Wolf “canon,” so I’ll be looking at twists on the archetype based on those stories. These don’t necessarily have to be adaptations of the same, but the Wolf in question must be identified as the character from at least one of those tales. Also, I won’t be including wolves who are NOT fitting in this archetype. For example: Keaton from Fire Emblem and Jack Howl are both wolfish lads I find most wonderful and kinkable. Neither, however, are THE Big Bad Wolf. As I have said in the past, I might do a list of wolf preds I love that AREN’T this archetype incarnate, but that’s for another occasion.

One last thing: this is a ranking of kink crushes, NOT the character of the Wolf himself, or twists on the formula of the character or any of the stories. Those are discussions of a different sort. These are just the Wolves that make me blush the most, and a lot of factors have gone into figuring out how to rank them. With that said…here are My Top 12 Big Bad Wolf Pred Crushes!

12. The Version from Into the Woods…Sometimes.

I don’t usually do live-action preds, let alone stage-produced preds, for various reasons. However, there are two (technically three) Wolves on this list who are exceptions to that rule. “Into the Woods” is the first of those exceptions. The reason I say “sometimes” with this wolf, and why it ranks bottom-most, is because - since Into the Woods has been produced MANY times over the years - how much I “kinkify” any version of the Wolf depends on a lot of factors. Some versions have designs/costumes I absolutely love, but the portrayal of the Wolf bothers me; others are the opposite, where I love the portrayal of the character, but the design doesn’t do much for me. (Or they’re Johnny Depp. That can be a problem too…seriously, GREAT Wolf, on a performance level, but…it’s freaking Johnny Depp. XD ) It doesn’t help that the Wolf’s big song in the show has some…unsettling undertones, and again, how much those are played with - whether they’re kept as mere subtext or made much more overt - depends on the production in question. I think it’s more the fact I love this musical, and have a personal connection to this Wolf (I actually got to play him in “Into the Woods Jr.” when I was a kid), that gives him his placement.

11. The Version from World Masterpiece Fairy-Tales.

Straightforward adaptations of Big Bad Wolf stories tend to be problematic for me. On the one hand, basic adaptations of the stories - as opposed to reimaginings of the character or tales - will always be chock-full of vorish goodness for the eyes to enjoy. Without putting a finer point on it, there is no need to visit an Triple X video site when you can watch nearly any given version of Red Riding Hood on the Internet. :P HOWEVER, there is a big difference between having a crush, and just loving a scene or situation. I tend to find the key thing that separates the two comes through my writing, and sadly, most “straightforward” takes on the Big Bad Wolf are difficult to write for. Once their story is done, their purpose is complete, so to speak. However, I can still fantasize about them, if the scene is good enough and the Wolf has qualities I like. “World Masterpiece Fairy-Tales” is one of many anime adaptations of various fairy-tales, and the Wolf in question appears in their episode based on “Red Riding Hood.” This Wolf is one of only two in the countdown who can be classified as a “feral” or quadrupedal type, and that’s part of why I like him. I love the shape of him and the way his belly hangs low in some shots. Some of his dialogue and even the hammy delivery of it gets me, too…and of course, the visuals in question have some AMAZING moments, from X-Ray type shots showing Red and Granny in his gut, to close ups of his squirmy belly, the list goes on. He’s only low on the list because, personality and portrayal-wise, this is a pretty “basic” Wolf, and like I said, that tends to be a problem in writing: I just don’t know what I would do with this Wolf I couldn’t do with others, if that makes sense. This is a problem several others will have later in the list…but that’s another story.

10. The Version from Peter and the Wolf: A Prokofiev Fantasy.

I absolutely love “Peter and the Wolf,” and all the different interpretations that have been done of it…yet, on a kink-based level, I’ve only run into ONE version of the Wolf in this story that I honestly love “that way.” And it’s from a relatively obscure interpretation of the story, at that. This TV special - narrated by Sting, of all people - was made by the same team behind the British comedy series “Spitting Image,” which mixed elaborate puppetry with live-action techniques. This puppet-formed Wolf is the size of a small horse (you may or may not be able to tell that from the image I used), and has a much less famished-looking frame than most other interpretations. Build is always a big factor. And while all “Peter” wolves have their share of voracious moments, this Wolf takes the cake for me, in terms of onscreen exhibition: not only does he successfully swallow the Duck, but what happens after is…ooooh, it’s shiver worthy. First, we get a quick mawshot as his jaws swoop down to devour the Duck…then, after gulping her down, we actually get an internal sequence, where we see the Duck swimming around in his belly…surrounded by slimy, red, pulsing walls of flesh, bathing in digestive juices, and surrounded by the remains of the Wolf’s previous meals…remains that range from the cartoonish to the downright unsettling. You can practically SMELL the gastric sludge and FEEL the heat through the screen…while, outside, the Wolf grins with sadistic satisfaction. And, throughout the special, we not only hear the Duck quack within the Wolf’s thick barrel of a gut, we SEE the Duck still swimming about in there, trying to stay afloat as the stomach walls churn and ripple around them. (pauses) Do I need to say more? I don’t think so.

9. Two Out of Three from Revolting Rhymes.

Someone recently brought up the movie “Happily N’Ever After” in an earlier Ask: that movie featured three different Wolves, each being from a separate story. That film isn’t and wasn’t the only movie to attempt that: enter “Revolting Rhymes,” an animated miniseries based on the Roald Dahl book of the same name. This miniseries reimagines several different fairy-tales in a darkly humorous, contemporary fashion. Featured prominently are three different Big Bad Wolves. The first one is Rolf, the one from Red Riding Hood…and despite that being my favorite fairy-tale, Rolf is actually the Wolf in this group I’m the least into, which is why I say “Two Out of Three.” He’s a fun character, but his personality and design just don’t jive with me when it comes to kinks. Thankfully, up next is his brother, Rex, who is the Wolf from The Three Little Pigs: he’s fat, burpy, and a little smarter than Rolf, with a sort of playfully wicked demeanor. MUCH more my type. And while Rex is offed at the end of his story, it’s still fun to imagine ideas with him. Third and finally is the unnamed Lead Wolf, who is basically the main character of the entire miniseries, and certainly the most complex character of the bunch: the framing device for this animation has the Lead Wolf (who is implied to be the one from The Wolf and the Seven Kids, although that is never directly stated) being depicted as the uncle/adoptive father of Rolf and Rex, seeking revenge on Red Riding Hood, who killed both of his nephews and turned them into wolfskin clothing pieces. He thus plots to devour her children in turn, “an eye for an eye.” The fairy-tales featured are essentially flashbacks. This Wolf is certainly devious and dangerous, but he’s much more sympathetic than the other two, and has his own fascinating little character arc running through the miniseries. And while we never actually get to see him eat anybody, he definitely has plenty of superficially kinkable elements: he has a lovely, luscious voice (provided by McNulty himself, Dominic West), and a delightfully twisted, double-sided personality. He’s like if you combined a kindly storyteller with a James Bond Villain, it’s a true treat. Rolf may be a dud, but the other two Wolves from this special have enough kinkability for four.

8. Zeke Wolf, from Disney.

It’s the Disney Wolf, I’ve seen a certain cartoon that made a big splash in the vore-loving community lately, and I don’t think I need to explain anything else there. So…yeah. Moving on.

7. Reginald Von Lupin, from Faerie Tale Theatre.

This is the last live-action Wolf on the list, and despite being played by a highly recognizable actor - namely Malcolm McDowell - I really, REALLY like this one. He has a playful but sinister personality, and in terms of when the “big moment” for any version of the Wolf comes…HOOOO, boy. After devouring Red Riding Hood’s Grandmother, we cut to find Ol’ Reggie lounging about lazily and picking his teeth, belching a few times with a bloated belly. When he finally gets out of bed to prepare for Red Riding Hood’s arrival, he taunts Granny in his stomach, burps one or two more times, and admires himself in a mirror. Once Red Riding Hood’s turn comes, his gut gets even larger, and he moans and groans in a truly blush-inducing way as he sips wine and rubs his belly, belching once again before falling into a satisfied sleep. When the Woodsman comes to help, he finds the Wolf mumbling about his meal in his sleep, while we actually see and hear his prey begging for help and release inside of his stomach, squirming around within his belly. This is all enough for ME, but for the weirdos among you who like seeing the preds get their comeuppance, that’s not the end: after the Woodsman cuts Reginald open and frees Little Red and her Grandma, they stuff his belly full of river rocks, and then stitch him shut. He wakes up, none the worse for the wear (ahhh, fantasy logic), and spends the rest of the episode groaning about a belly-ache and spitting up pebbles while once or twice letting out an unpleasant burp of indigestion. (pauses) Do I need to say more? No? Good. Moving on.

6. B.D. Wong, from Happily Ever After: Fairy-Tales for Every Child.

HBO’s “Happily Ever After” was a series that reinvented various classic fairy-tales and fantasy stories with a multicultural flair. It frequently featured guest star voices in various roles throughout its run. In the episode “Little Red Happi Coat” (a Chinese-flavored retelling of the fairy-tale), the Wolf is voiced by B.D. Wong. He’s snarky, sly, sinister, and extremely hungry. When the time comes for him to chow down, he doesn’t disappoint. After swallowing the grandmother whole, he becomes a VERY gassy and bloated fellow, lounging in bed and rubbing his gut as he hiccups and burps up the grandmother’s glasses. He remains burpy throughout the rest of the cartoon, even belching nice and loud when he encounters Little Red, who he also succeeds in gobbling up. For those who love indigestion, he actually does get a little queasy after swallowing the grandmother, and instead of having his belly cut open, the woodsman tricks the wolf into taking special medicine. He moans, growing lightheaded (“Ohhhh, I don’t feel so good…”) before BURPING his victims back up in cartoonish fashion. He’s teasing and twisted, and even gets a song about how much he looks forward to his meal while on his way to the Grandmother’s house! The only reason this Wolf doesn’t reach the Top 5 is a combination of two elements: first of all, once again, this is a case of a Wolf where once his story is done, it’s hard to imagine what else to do with him, outside of perhaps doing OTHER famous fairy-tales with the same aesthetics (and having him win). The other issue is his design: Happily Ever After was a HIGHLY stylized show in its animation department, and the Wolf in this special is no exception. He’s an absolute TWIG, skinny to a degree only possible in animation, and for me that’s a bit of a problem. You’d have to drastically reimagine the body proportions and style to really get him to work at 100%, at least for me. Still, he does so much right that it’s hard to fault him too much.

5. The Blue Wolf, from My Favorite Fairy-Tales.

Once again, this is a pretty “basic” take on the Wolf (aside from his odd fur color), but as far as such basics go, he’s one of the best ones, in my book. This Wolf comes from an adaptation of “The Wolf and the Seven Kids,” and as far as adaptations of that story go, this Wolf is just the best one I’ve found so far. I love the personality of this Wolf, very taunting and and teasing, with a sort of callous carelessness to his attitude, accentuated by a gruff, snarly voice. He’s got some great dialogue in the American dub (which is my preferred version), but above all else, the character design just knocks it out of the park for me. I. LOVE. HIS. BELLY. Once he’s stuffed full of the kids, he doesn’t become a bloated cartoonish ball or have a bizarrely lumpy middle like some others I’ve seen, instead he has a surprisingly natural, soft, plush, round potbelly that sags in just such a BEAUTIFUL way. Something abot the way it’s drawn and animated just makes it seem so pillowy and thick and lovely. He also has some surprisingly wide hips, and we get some shots of his backside that only add to the appeal. In short, while we never see or hear the struggles of his victims, and never hear him belch, he’s just one of the most aesthetically pleasing wolves (at least to me) I’ve ever come across. Once again, the only problem with him, and what keeps him out of the Top 3, is the fact that he IS just sort of a “basic Wolf,” so it’s really hard to think of ways to use him after his story is done…especially given the way said story ends in his case, but that’s another issue for another time.

4. Bigby Wolf, from The Wolf Among Us.

Bigby used to be one of my Top 3 Big Bad Wolf preds, but over time, he’s dropped out of that area. It’s hard for me to say WHY he’s fallen out of my Top 3, I guess maybe it’s just a combo of changing tastes and the fact that I haven’t really gotten to write much for him…and, to be honest, I’m not sure I WANT to write much for him, in the future. I’d be open to it if somebody ordered a commission, mind you, I’m just not in a hurry to handle him myself. I think I’ve come to like Bigby more as a character than a kink crush over time…but, I do still kink him enough to make it into the Top 5, so there you go. Bigby is the sheriff of Fabletown - a modern-day American city where various characters from fairy-tales, folklore, Nursery Rhymes, and classic literature have ALL come to seek shelter after their homeworld was destroyed. The story of this game (and the comics it is based on, which I confess I haven’t read) is basically a fantasy and film noir cross, and Bigby is depicted as the cigar-chomping, grizzled noir-style detective of the story. While he never actually eats anyone in the game (except maybe Bloody Mary, but that’s sort of a different issue), his predatory nature is VERY much canon, and is referenced multiple times in multiple ways throughout the game. Because this is a Telltale game, Bigby is a highly versatile potential crush, because the whole purpose of these games - and therefore one’s headcanon for Bigby - can change depending on just how “big and bad” or “gentle giant” you want to make him out to be. While you can’t make him pure evil, it’s also hard to make him purely good, and the levels of each shift depending on your choices. He can also shapeshift between multiple forms, from a totally human demeanor to a feral wolf that’s bigger than a freaking elephant, so that’s definitely helpful on the versatility scale, too.

3. Mr. Wolf, from The Bad Guys.

While he never interacts with ANY classic fairy-tale characters, this lupine - in both the movie and the books - IS identified as THE Big Bad Wolf, and that fact is referenced more than once in each incarnation. Therefore, I still say he counts for this ranking. What’s interesting is that, while the Wolf in the book series actually has more voracious SCENES - such as swallowing Snake out of sheer annoyance at one point, or being transformed into a mind-warped giant Wolf and rampaging through the city devouring anyone in sight - when it comes to the actual CHARACTER, I think the Wolf in the movie is much more my type. And this is despite him having no such overt scenes to his credit (Snake and Shark take up those responsibilities); the most he does is very nearly devour Marmalade at one point. Sorry, Wolf, but there was no “nearly” with your buddies. :P Anyway, looking at the movie Wolf, he has a lot of qualities I find highly attractive in my predators: he’s smart, sly, suave, slick, but at times rather silly. He can be a dangerous predator, but he can also be a total puppy dog, in every sense of the word. There’s a mixture of darkness and sweetness to him I absolutely love, which fits for a character who starts off as a villain and becomes a hero. I absolutely HAVE to write for this Wolf sometime.

2. Gray Wolf, from Gray Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood.

This guy used to be the top of my list, and for good reason. “Gray Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood” is a stop-motion “Claymation” animated film made in Soviet Russia in the waning years of the Cold War. Not coincidentally, the film is meant to be an allegory for the decline of the Soviet Union. Beyond all allegorical/political elements, however, it is one of the most voracious…THINGS I’ve ever seen in my life. There’s a lot to unpack, so stay with me on this one. XD At the start of the story, the Wolf - called Gray Wolf - is a scrawny, hapless creature, as his teeth have been torn out by a group of angry hunters (yikes). He goes to a dentist to get new teeth made; at first, the doctor is hesitant, but the Wolf convinces him by stating he needs the teeth to survive: “The woods, they have their own laws.” So, the dentist relents and gives the wolf a set of metal fangs…and Gray returns his kindness by swallowing him alive, laughing and repeatin to his prey in his belly: “The woods, they have their own laws.” And from that point on, the Wolf spends the rest of the special GORGING himself: he is a gluttonous monster, who eats literally anyone and anything that crosses his path, not because he’s hungry, but just because he can. He gets larger and fatter as the story goes on, stuffing himself with more and more innocent victims, and the more he eats, the more he desires to feast. Sometimes he tries to lure them in or trick, but other times he just grabs and gulps. All the while, inside his belly, his victims sob and whimper, lost in the dark, smelly abyss of his body, with nothing to do but wait for their inevitable, apparently rather slow digestion. At times they struggle and try to escape, but it proves helpless, as he pats or sloshes them down into submission again, and if they try to climb up his throat, they know his metal teeth will just make short work of them. The best (worst?) part is that the Wolf KNOWS his prey are suffering; he can hear and feel them in his belly, but for most of the special, he just doesn’t care. And when he does interact with his meals, it’s either out of annoyance they aren’t behaving like good food and just sitting there in his gut, or its with taunting, sadistic, and mocking pleasure. In short, he’s just about everything I want out of a pred…so why has he dropped to just second place? Well, a combo of elements: first of all, Claymation-style stop motion, which is a little trickier to get into for me than furry puppets or CGI or hand-drawn animation. Second, he’s a particularly “toony” Wolf in some spots of the special, and as I’ve said before, toonish antics can be hit-or-miss with me, to say the least. However, both of these are ultimately nitpicks, as it not hard to imagine him having fur (obviously) and in writing I can regulate how much toonish nonsense I include. I’ve written one story for this Wolf, and I’d like to write another sometime in the future…although I must confess, he’s also another case where I just don’t really know what I’d do.

1. Wolfrun, from Smile! Pretty Cure.

While Gray Wolf and Bigby Wolf are cases of Big Bads that have dropped in the ranking, Wolfrun has risen rapidly for me, as a kink crush if nothing else. While he never actually eats anybody onscreen at any point, a.) he does threaten to do so on more than one occasion, b.) we know he’s eaten people in the past, and c.) he has the infamous Pancake Episode, where his whole evil plan is just gorging himself on a HUGE, heaping amount of savory pancakes. So there’s plenty of voracious gloriousness, of some form or another, to go around. I went into INCREDIBLE detail about just why I love this guy in the past; I wrote a whole tribute post explaining what I love about him as a character, as well as a crush. If you want to read that full post, you can find it here. The short version of things is as follows: he’s a slightly more complex Big Bad Wolf than most others, and equal parts threatening and funny, which gives him more versatility than a lot of others. He looks freaking gorgeous (as far as anthros go), has bad breath, and his past, personality, and the type of series he’s in offer themselves to scenarios quite easily. As of now, I’ve written for this character five times, with mixed results; two of his stories I’ve very proud of, one I’m sort of okay with but not MEGA happy about, and the other two I honestly don’t like very much at all. Despite the scattershot output, I’ve written for him more than any other canon Big Bad Wolf character, and I’m ALWAYS eager to write for him again. When will that be, and how will it turn out? Only time can tell…but whatever the future holds, at the present moment, he remains firmly seated at the top of my list as My Biggest, Baddest Wolf Pred Crush.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Pulled an all-nighter to bring you folks this one, but i think it was worth it

Also, i do believe this is my first comic, but I’m far too tired to search through my previous works to check..

I hope you guys like it~
