Malumclaw in front of the moon

Background []

Malumclaw is a talking wolf from the Land of Stories. His father was the original Big Bad Wolf from the fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood (first published by Charles Perraut[1]).

His name is derived from the word "malus" - Latin for "evil, wicked"; so basically "evil claw". Malumclaw only appears in The Wishing Spell.

Malumclaw is the secondary antagonist of The Wishing Spell, and posthumous antagonist in the rest of the series.

 Appearance and Personality[]

Malumclaw is four times the size of any normal wolf from Alex and Conner's world. He has matted, jet-black fur and red eyes.[2]

Malumclaw is very arrogant, homicidal, evil, and has a grudge against Red Riding Hood for killing his father. He can speak, like his father and unlike other wolves.

Relationships[]

Malumclaw appears to have a history with Goldilocks, as hinted in chapter 6, where Goldilocks asks him if he "hasn't learned his lesson by now."[3] He also holds a grudge against Queen Red Riding Hood because she killed his father.[4]

Story []

Malumclaw makes a deal with the Evil Queen to bring her the twins Alex & Conner in return for Red Riding Hood. He holds up his part of the bargain and is about to kill Red Riding Hood when a cannon ball from the Northern Kingdom army kills him.

Quotes []

"Wolves want for nothing."[5]

"Then horse it is!"
