Wolf O'Donnell (Japanese: ウルフ・オドネル Hepburn: Urufu Odoneru?) is a fictional character in Nintendo's Star Fox video game series. In the series, Wolf O'Donnell is an anthropomorphic wolf who is the leader of the fictional Star Wolf team and a rival (and antihero) to Fox McCloud. Wolf's team is Initially hired by Andross to take down the Star Fox team, the Star Wolf team is unsuccessful in doing so, although it results in Wolf developing a deep respect for Fox as well as seeking revenge against him for his own personal reasons.
Wolf technically made his debut in the cancelled Super NES game Star Fox 2 as the boss prior to Andross. In this game, he wore no eyepatch, but there is a large scar that runs across his right eye, which is opposite of the eye that is damaged in his current form.
In his first official appearance in Star Fox 64 (also known as Lylat Wars; and consequently in the game's 2011 remake), Wolf's current image was created with him wearing an eyepatch. In this game, the player faces Wolf and his team at least once, no matter what path the player may take to get through the game, unlike in Star Fox 2, where he was faced only once altogether.
If the player fights Star Wolf on Venom, Wolf looks slightly different over his transmissions. Upon closer examination, his face is covered with bandages, to express damage from their last encounter with Star Fox. The rest of the team sports cybernetic prosthetics. These augmentations could most likely be explained away as necessary to the operation of their new Wolfen II fighters, since they are not shown on any Star Wolf members in subsequent games and it is also possible to reach that point in the game without having previously fought the team.
