The Prowler cue comes from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse from 2018, where the villain Prowler is introduced with a distorted, elephant like roar created for his theme. That sound became a standalone meme sting on TikTok and YouTube, used whenever someone appears threatening. Pairing it with Goku from Dragon Ball creates the joke here, treating the Saiyan hero like a horror villain. The edit spread through anime meme pages and short form edits, and it remains popular because the sting is instantly recognisable even without the video.
