Role
The Timber Wolves are howling and that the zap apples are coming, although she later says that they howl "when the zap apples first start growing", after the other signs. The Timber Wolves appear in Granny Smith's flashback when she tells the story of the zap apples and the founding of Ponyville to Apple Bloom's class. Young Granny Smith enters the Everfree Forest despite its dangers in search of food. She hears a wolf's howl, and after she comes across the zap apple trees the timber wolves start gathering around her, howling and snarling. She escapes, and outruns the wolves back to the farmhouse, where she clangs pots and pans which scare away the Wolves.

In the episode Spike At Your Service, three Timber Wolves attack Spike in the Everfree Forest, but are defeated by Applejack, shattering them to pieces. After Applejack and Spike leave, however, they reassemble. They later return, but after Applejack shatters them to pieces again with boulders, they merge into a giant Timber Wolf, which tries to kill Applejack after her hoof gets caught under a rock. Spike throws a rock into the Timber Wolf's mouth, which becomes lodged in his windpipe, causing him to choke to death.



Appearence
The timber wolves in the episode have glowing yellow eyes and their bodies look like pieces of timber.

Trivia

 * Their ability to reassemble after being broken to pieces may have been based off the Dry Bones from the Mario series, or the Stalfos from the Zelda series.
