The Wolfen is a class of spacefighter used by the Star Wolf team. It was first used during the air battle with the Star Fox Team over Fichina (misspelled Fortuna at the time). The Wolfen was fast and maneuverable, armed with dual laser cannons for an impressive punch. However, the shield system was weaker then the one found on Arwing starfighters. The two were a close match in capabilities, so in the end the pilot's skill would more often then not determine who won a battle.

[edit] Variations
Wolf kept the traditional Wolfen.(Except in Japan, Wolf's Wolfen was called the Red Fang) Leon converted his into the Rainbow Delta, which gained a wave-beam function enabling continuous charged shots to be fired. Panther converted his into the Black Rose, which could fire a slow but powerful and long-range beam known as a Zapper.

The Wolfen appears in the Corneria stage in Super Smash Bros. Melee. It occasionally fires lasers at the characters on screen, the Wolfen doesn't target any character in particular. Once it has stopped firing, the Wolfen will then fly off the screen after a few seconds. If a character remains on it when it flies off the screen, that character will receive a Star KO. The Wolfen appears as a Trophy in the game. The Wolfen also appears in the opening movie
[edit] Trophy Info
The beloved ship of the mercenary team Star Wolf, which was hired to destroy Fox and his team. The ship's abilities rival an Arwing. As a matter of fact, the Wolfen II was an improvement over its predecessor and could nearly outperform team Star Fox's ships. Star Wolf's leader, Wolf O'Donnell is Fox's most persistent rival.

[edit] In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
The Wolfen reappears in the Corneria stage as it did before. It also makes an appearance in the Lylat Cruise stage. The Wolfen also 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. Its also notable that the Wolfen appears slightly different than the Starfox: Assault version, where its wings are spread farther apart.
[edit] Trophy Info
A class of starfighter piloted by Team Star Fox's rivals, team Star Wolf. Wolfen's boast more gravity-suppressing plates than Arwings, making their performance equal or perhaps even superior. When Team Star Wolf reappeared, they were piloting Wolfen II ships--improved versions with two laser cannons rather than one and capable of reflecting attacks by rolling.
