Biography
Although the main villain, his role is small. He is the main antagonist because he had bigger plans.

In the film, Timber Wolf attempts to attack Benji when he was tied up to a tree at the Hunter's cabin, as he runs at Benji, the Hunter grabs his gun and shoots at Timber Wolf but misses which ends up with Timber Wolf running off into the forest.

Timber Wolf appears later in the film when Benji was with the cougar cubs. Timber Wolf approaches the cubs trying to get a quick meal, but the cubs hide under a rock. As Timber Wolf tries to dig them out, Benji quickly attacks Timber Wolf. He gives up trying to get the cubs and goes after Benji. While Benji was being chased, he hides in a bush next to a cliff. Timber Wolf jumps over the bush thinking that Benji was there, but instead it was the cliff and Benji watches as Timber Wolf falls to his death while howling.

Timber Wolf is quite small compared to most North American wolves. He is a slender black wolf with brown eyes and grayish-white fur on his upper-jaw around his nose and on the lowers have of his legs and paws.
