As many have guessed already, he is Wolfie. Seems that Robing and Jason (and that guy in the bar) weren’t the only ones with their genders changed.

As many have guessed already, he is Wolfie. Seems that Robing and Jason (and that guy in the bar) weren’t the only ones with their genders changed.
So who is Wolfie the incarnation of?
I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess Heracles.
I wonder if Hercules then is actually LETTING Wolfie stay in control and she only thinks its the magic that’s a part of her. Since Hercules had his life destroyed because Hera ruined his life, and he’d be more than happy to help some mortal get back at some gods ruining their lives!
I think the cave needs a ice cooler and something to put in it.
Yes, no Man Cave is complete without beer!
=_= …. Wolfie needs better info.
How much knowledge do you expect her to have on a gender one of her best friends is intent to erase?
Great. Character I helped create to help deal with my dysphoria reinforces it. Hoisted by my own petard. (Not a criticism. Love you guys forever.) -W
“squalor”
Is it intentional that Wolfie’s hair changed colour between the last comic and this one?
Don’t forget to talk sports, Wolfie! At the least the WWE, which we know you’re interested in!

[AGAIN with the shameless plug! *blush* Sorry.]
I’m gonna assume the pendant’s gonna be helpful in this brand new story arc.
Unless there happens to be a full moon, in which case Katie can’t part with it.
Though it WOULD be interesting to see Katie go to werecat while also a sphinx. Let the wacky mayhem ensue!
wouldn’t that just be a very large house cat that talks in riddles? all of which the answer is meow.
So Loki and Hermes’s spell isn’t powerful enough to overcome magical protection. Perhaps she can get her friends acting like themselves again through some sort of “mental shield” spell.
In the meantime, I know Milo is immune to most forms of transformative magic. Perhaps he can be of assistance too?
An “affermative” response?
Typos aside, this is a really cool strip. 🙂
It’s funny how Wolfie tries to act like a man when she used to get some nasty treatment for not being “girly” enough. I wonder if it’s a way to laugh back at those who made fun of her.
…if the pendant magic keeps someone in their own mind, and we saw it does that even when put around someone’s neck while NOT in their own mind…why not make a whole bunch of duplicates of the pendant and go put them around everyone’s neck?
Because everyone that gets given a pendant also has there were creature status made permanent.
So giving the pendant to anyone transformed like this would give them back their mind, but also render the transformation permanent? Okay, that makes sense.
Although the pendant was created by the Wotch centuries earlier, it would only duplicate itself upon the birth of a child in the Lupom (later changed to Wolf) family. Even Katie’s pendant was from that family, given her by Samantha. (And later altered in appearance by Anne.) If/When Katie has a child, her pendant will duplicate. For the Wolf line, the pendants no longer duplicate since the long term use of the pendants by the family line have made the magic a part of their blood.
Anne herself has never created a pendant. It is very possible she may not know how, since it has been nearly 900 years since it was first made. And because of its reduplication enchantment, it’s possible no other Wotch has made one.
A good portion of this is covered in the Blue Moon Reflections story arc. While it is the work of a guest artist and guest writer, Blue Moon Reflections is officially declared as Wotch canon. (Including one or possibly both of the epilogues.)
There’s no MAGICAL reason Anne couldn’t analyze the pendants magic, or simply cast a ‘duplicate artifact’ spell.
Shieltar’s answer, however, gives a reason why the strategy wouldn’t be wise.
Technically speaking, Samantha is now the smartest creature in a hundred mile radius minus the gods themselves. The speaking in riddles thing might be just how Sphinxes keep from being bored to death of constantly being surrounded by more limited minds.
You mean Katie, right?
Yes, typo.
Smartest creature? What are you on about? I see no evidence she is any more intelligent than before, which wasn’t very. I don’t think there’s anything in the legend of the sphinx that says she was smart to begin with, just that she delivered a particular riddle that was answered by a certain mother-f***** named Oedipus, and just asking a riddle doesn’t make her smart. Kind of like how genies go around trying to overhear someone say something that can be misinterpreted into an evil wish, it’s not a sign if intelligence, it’s at best an obsessive compulsive disorder. The sphinx is also not supposed to be a cat-centaur anyway, so it’s not even adhering to the defined characteristics of the mythological creature. But about that, 9 limbs instead of 4, that ought to be confusing. And awesome. If only her face wasn’t so repulsive and derpy that would be hot.
I have a Mancave. It’s where I keep my Manmobile, Manarangs, costumes, and other equipment for when I fight crime as Manman.
na na na na man man!
shieltar that was genius. What does man man’s costume look like though? Probably like what wolfie’s wearing. Or maybe just shorts and a t-shirt.
And a beer can carrying helmet. Never forget that part.
