From the Danbooru wiki
An archetypal fairytale character, describing a fictional wolf, generally portrayed as the antagonist in the stories they appear in, whether as an embodiment of evil, a moral corrupter, an predator, etc. Likely inspired by the risk of wolf attacks in centuries past.
The most famous iteration of the Big Bad Wolf comes from Little Red Riding Hood, but big bad wolves aren't unique to it nor Grimm's Fairy Tales in general (ex. the English fable the Three Little Pigs). Use this tag for generic depictions of fairytale big bad wolves only, tagged with the relevant fairytale tag if they are meant to represent any one in particular, with more distinct iterations of the archetype being given their own tags instead.
