The Bigby Wolf
I'm sure we have all heard the story of the Big Bad Wolf. He has been a cornerstone of fairy tales for many years although you may not recognize this rendition. The Bigby Wolf is son of the Northwind and the Sheriff of Fable town.

In his wolf form, Bigby is massive, shown to be considerably taller than a human being, and at times substantially larger than that as well. In this form, he can carry people with no apparent stress and is a formidable fighter. Other wolves defer to him, calling him "Lord of Wolves" or "God of Wolves." His mixed ancestry gives him the ability to blow massive gusts of wind (the "huff 'n' puff" of the Three Little Pigs story) and can also briefly command local winds to do his bidding. Bigby can drown but he is able to hold his breath for an extremely long time; three weeks straight in one chapter. He also swam across the Bering Strait without getting cold (he even referred to it as "an enjoyable swim.") Every one of his senses is far above the normal human ability. He is also extremely quick to heal and cannot be killed by conventional weapons. He can, however, be slain by silver or fire. As a Fable, he does not age.
In addition to his wolf and human forms, Bigby is sometimes drawn as intermediate form similar to the wolfman of legend- it is shown that his powers allow him to reassume any shape from wolf to man whenever he is forced to take another form (such as those authored by Kevin Thorn.) In this form he possesses great strength, rapid healing, and the claws and teeth of a wolf. Bigby's father, the North Wind, has stated directly that due to his heritage Bigby could have learned to shape shift of his own will into any form he wanted, but he rejected that form of his heritage and grew too old to learn. (Bigby's brothers, who did decide to learn, can assume any shape they wish.)
Because of his extraordinary senses, Bigby is able to pick up on the emotions of thousands of nearby strangers, to the extent that he smokes cigarettes constantly in order to drown them out. The only one whom he cannot drown out, or tune out, is Snow White. Due to his rapid hair growth, he has to shave several times a day
