Asgardian Wolves were an immensely powerful and ferocious breed of giant war wolves, one notable among them being Fenris.
History[]
Virtue Challenge[]
Asgardian Wolves resided in the Treasureyard of the Wolves in Asgard. One mission during the Virtue Challenge required the young Asgardians to retrieve a bone from the Treasureyard of the Wolves, while fairies show the participants their deepest fears.[1]
Hunt for the Crown of Fools[]
A pack of Asgardian Wolves was put into a crazed state as a result of a Frost Giant accidentally discovering the Crown of Fools and putting it on. During their rampage, the pack attacked Thor, Lady Sif, and the Warriors Three, who were following a flock of Asgardian Birds in search of the reason behind the sudden aggression of Asgard's wildlife. Although the wolves' attack managed to scare away the group's horses, the Warriors Three and Sif managed to hold back the wolves, with Thor ordering them not to harm the creatures due to them not being responsible for attacking them. Thor managed to grab the leader of the pack and held Mjølnir in front of its face, allowing a small spark to emerge from it. This finally scared off the pack, who fled from the scene, with Thor reassuring the group that their horses would make it back to the stables before the wolves could remember to track their scent. After Thor found the Frost Giant and removed the Crown of Fools from his head, the wolves' behavior returned to normal.[2]
Hela's Reign[]
One of the Asgardian Wolves, Fenris, served as a loyal companion to Hela during the expansion of Asgard around the Nine Realms until her death sometime after Hela's exile. Millennia after her death, Fenris was resurrected by Hela with the power of the Eternal Flame and put at her service during her rule over Asgard. However, Fenris was ultimately thrown into outer space to her death by the Hulk.[3]
