==Origin==
The Wolfen was manufactured by [[Andross]] and {{s|lylatwiki|Pigma Dengar}} to counter the Arwing and prevent the Star Fox team from reaching Venom. <ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/starfox/comments/y8cwc9/finally_got_around_to_doing_translations/ STAR FOX 64 Official Game Guide Japan]</ref>  With greater offense capabilities, but worse defense, the Wolfen fighters were designed to quickly dispose of anyone who got in Andross' way.

==Origin==
The Wolfen first appears in ''Star Fox 64'' in the 3rd mission of the game on the planet Fichina (referred to as Fortuna in the original N64 version), when the Star Fox team arrive there to stop its base from self-destructing. They are suddenly stopped by Wolf and his Star Wolf team, each piloting their own ship. The ships reappear alongside the evil team in a few other missions. During ''Star Fox: Assault'', Star Wolf sported redesigned Wolfens, doing battle with them against Star Fox in the Sargasso Space Zone, though Wolf would later allow Fox to ride on the wing of Wolf's Wolfen on Corneria. The Wolfen could also be used in this game for the first time, being unlockable for the game's Versus Mode. During ''Star Fox Command'', the members of Star Wolf each customized their ships, with only that of Wolf appearing the same as the original Wolfen, while Leon and Panther changed theirs to fit their preferences.

The Wolfen (ウルフェン, Wolfen) is the name of the ship piloted by Wolf O'Donnell and his team, Star Wolf. They are similar to team Star Fox's Arwings.

OriginEdit

The Wolfen was manufactured by Andross and Pigma Dengar to counter the Arwing and prevent the Star Fox team from reaching Venom. [1] With greater offense capabilities, but worse defense, the Wolfen fighters were designed to quickly dispose of anyone who got in Andross' way. As Andross is said to be the original creator of the G-Diffusor system and theory, it comes equipped with such as well. [2]

The Wolfen first appears in Star Fox 64 in the 3rd mission of the game on the planet Fichina (referred to as Fortuna in the original N64 version), when the Star Fox team arrive there to stop its base from self-destructing. They are suddenly stopped by Wolf and his Star Wolf team, each piloting their own ship. The ships reappear alongside the evil team in a few other missions. During Star Fox: Assault, Star Wolf sported redesigned Wolfens, doing battle with them against Star Fox in the Sargasso Space Zone, though Wolf would later allow Fox to ride on the wing of Wolf's Wolfen on Corneria. The Wolfen could also be used in this game for the first time, being unlockable for the game's Versus Mode. During Star Fox Command, the members of Star Wolf each customized their ships, with only that of Wolf appearing the same as the original Wolfen, while Leon and Panther changed theirs to fit their preferences.

In Super Smash Bros.Edit

A Wolfen appears in the Corneria and Venom stages, occasionally firing lasers at the characters on-screen. The Wolfen doesn't target any character in particular.

If a character remains on it when it flies off the screen, that character will receive a Star KO.

It also appears in the opening movie, piloted by Wolf as he makes his cameo.

The Wolfen trophy is obtained by clearing Adventure Mode in under 18 minutes 20 seconds or less.

In Super Smash Bros. BrawlEdit

 
Wolf's on-screen appearance in Brawl.

The Wolfen reappears in the Corneria stage as it did before and also makes an appearance in the Lylat Cruise stage. It appears briefly in both Wolf's on-screen appearance in which he ejects from it to enter on the battlefield, as well as a bonus scene of the Subspace Emissary, in which Wolf ejects from the Wolfen and lands on the Lylat Cruise to face off the player. It's also notable that the Wolfen appears slightly different than the Star Fox: Assault version, where its wings are spread farther apart. The Wolfen also appears as a sticker in Brawl.

TrophyEdit
