Ralph
|
Ralph is a giant wolf monster featured in the 2018 New Line Cinema film Rampage. He is based on the character of the same name from Midway's Rampage video games.
Design
Ralph is a colossal wolf with gray fur over most of his body and white fur on his face. As part of his mutation, Ralph has developed porcupine-like quills on his back, as well as fleshy membranes located between his fore and hind limbs that allow him to glide through the air, similar to a flying squirrel.
Origins
Ralph was a wolf mutated by the same mysterious genetic experiment that mutated George and Lizzie. The alteration to his genetic code caused him to grow to 14 meters tall, 26 meters long, and 13.8 metric tons in weight, and also led him to develop unique characteristics such as quills on his back and gliding membranes between his limbs.
History
Rampage
Ralph was introduced in rampage before any other movies. He is a wolf that can glide using retractable skin flaps such as a flying squirrels, He also has large porcupine quills on his back and tail that he can shake of and use as projectiles or shoot them to impale targets. This is all due to the mutations that he got from eating an addictive in a hot dog, coincidentally Lissy and George were also mutated.

Trivia
- In the video game series, Ralph was bipedal and walked like a human rather than on all fours like a real wolf. His fur was gray in the original Rampage video game, while subsequent games portrayed it as blue.
- The Rampage film changes Ralph's origin to a wolf mutated by a genetic experiment, rather than a human mutated into a giant wolf by the experiments of Scum Labs as on the video games.
- The spikes on his back and tail, as well as his ability to glide like a flying squirrel, seems to be an homage to Varan.
