The Wolf

The Wolf first appears to Puss in a bar, reveals that he wants him dead, and disarms him of his sword just as he starts to say his famous "Fear me... if you dare!" Catchphrase. What follows next is Puss being on the receiving end of a nasty Curb-Stomp Battle as the Wolf toys with him and becomes the first opponent to actually strike fear into Puss's heart by nicking his forehead and making him bleed. While this scene doesn't reveal his true identity as Death, it does let both Puss and the viewers know that the Wolf is actually an opponent that should be taken seriously as a threat.
