Name | Wolfen |

Owner | Star Wolf |
Debut | Star Fox |
The Wolfen is a type of spacecraft primarily used by the Star Wolf team. It is basically the Star Wolf version of Star Fox's Arwings, as the two ships are shown to be somewhat equal in most areas.
Information
The Star Wolf team pilots Wolfens throughout most of their battles with Star Fox in Star Fox 64. The only exception is the final battle at Venom, where each Star Wolf member instead pilots a modified Wolfen II.
Despite this advancement, they once again piloted the original Wolfen ships in Star Fox Assault. This time the Wolfens were equipped with gravity-regulating Gravity Blades. With these the ships were much faster and more powerful than the Arwings, but at the same time they had poor braking and maneuvering.
In Star Fox Command, the Wolfen appears as Wolf's personal ship (named the "Red Fang" in the instruction manual). Its stats are as follows:
Laser: Twin
Lock: Multi
Bomb: 1
Shield: Average
Boost: High
Time Bonus: 2 seconds
The Wolfen's stats were again similar to that of the Arwing, particularly in the shield and boost areas. When the Wolfen is an opponent in any boss battle, it can also drop floating mines that explode seconds later. Although the other Star Wolf members no longer ride the Wolfens, their individual ships seem to have been based upon them.
Other Appearances
- In the Super Smash Bros. games, the Wolfens occasionally appear as laser-firing obstacles in Star Fox-related levels, as well as seen in a space battle in the background of Brawl's Lylat Cruise levl. The Wolfen also appeared as a trophy in both Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
