History[]

TV series[]

Past[]

Cry of the Wolf 144

A group of wolves fleeing from Robotnik's forces.

In the past, the Wolf Pack was a native tribe that lived a peaceful life in harmony with nature. At that time, their chief was Lupe's father. However, this all changed when Dr. Robotnik and his forces attacked. During his attack, Robotnik managed to capture Lupe's father and roboticize most of the wolves. However, Lupe and a few surviving wolves managed to escape and form the Wolf Pack Freedom Fighters in order to fight Robotnik's tyranny. With Robotnik having destroyed all physical traces of their culture, the Wolf Pack set up base in an underground tunnel system in the Great Unknown where the remains of their civilization were located. As a safety precaution, they set up inscriptions near their caves that warned of a curse in order to deter faint-hearted intruders.[1]

Over the years, the Wolf Pack fought Robotnik's forces in the Great Unknown using guerrilla tactics. They would also loot Robotnik's outposts for weapons.[1]

Season two[]

Cry of the Wolf 185

The Wolf Pack armed with their cannon.

Eventually, the Wolf Pack, now only consisting of ten members, returned to their lands in the Great Unknown, only to find them being destroyed by Dr. Robotnik's test Doomsday Pod. Engaging the Doomsday Pod, the Wolf Pack pelted it with bombs, damaging it enough for it to go down. Sonic, Sally and Antoine later reached the Wolf Pack's hideout, whom Lupe welcomed with open arms. After Lupe told them the story of her people, she agreed to help the Knothole Freedom Fighters contact the other Freedom Fighter groups around Mobius in order to unite them in the fight against Dr. Robotnik. In return, Sally helped repair a cannon that the Wolf Pack had stolen from Robotnik's outpost so the two Freedom Fighter groups could use it to destroy the test Doomsday Pod. Although their first attempt ended in failure, the heroes were ultimately successful in destroying the Doomsday Pod thanks to Sonic. Immediately after, the Wolf Pack made contact with the Eastern and Southern Freedom Fighters. Lupe, representing the Wolf Pack, later came to Knothole Village where she and the other leaders of the Freedom Fighter groups formed an alliance to stop Robotnik and his Doomsday Project.[1] Not long after, Lupe came to Knothole Village to take part in the Freedom Fighters' attack on the Doomsday Machine. During the mission, she was captured by Swat-Bots, but she eventually escaped, along with the leaders of the other Freedom Fighter groups. Afterward, she returned to Knothole Village, where the Freedom Fighters celebrated the defeat of Robotnik.[2]

Tactics[]

The Wolf Pack has several useful gadgets, as well as weapons that they have looted from Dr. Robotnik's outposts. Their tactics are based on guerilla warfare, espionage and sabotage rather than all-out open combat.[1]

Archie Comics[]

Wolf Pack Post-SGW

The Wolf Pack, from Sonic the Hedgehog #283.

In the Sonic the Hedgehog comic book series and its spin-off comics published by Archie Comics, the Wolf Pack was very similar to its animated series counterpart, being a Freedom Fighter group of Mobian wolves devoted to overthrowing the tyranny of Dr. Robotnik who took over their lands. They would eventually settle in their ancestral homeland in Soumerca and form the Wolf Pack Nation.

This adaptation of the group introduced a number of named members, including Lupe's husband Lobo and their children Marcos and Maria. After the timeline was rebooted by the Super Genesis Wave, the Wolf Pack and its background remained basically the same. However, most of its members introduced by former head writer Ken Penders and copyrighted by him have since been removed from the comics due to his lawsuit against Archie Comics.
