Sabrewulf is one of the original fighters in Killer Instinct, the fighting game series created by Rare and first released in arcades in 1994. The character is Count von Sabrewulf, a nobleman cursed to transform into a werewolf, and his design relies on claws, speed and animal growls instead of weapons. He returned in the 2013 Killer Instinct reboot, which kept his feral vocal style. Short clips of his growls circulate on soundboards for quick gaming references and monster-themed edits.
