In episode 12, Nilo and Jen cover a range of wolf tales spanning history and the globe, from contemporary Korea and Alaska to the 18th century exploits of the Beast of Gévaudan. They also touch on the recent story of the runner who strangled a cougar to fend off an attack, before reviewing the big bad wolves of The Grey, Frozen, and Brotherhood of the Wolf.
