Gmork is the wolf-like servant of the Nothing in The NeverEnding Story, the 1984 fantasy film based on Michael Ende's novel, where he hunts the young hero Atreyu through dark forests. His snarling, predatory presence made him one of the film's most frightening figures for children who grew up watching it. Years later, short clips of his attack were lifted for soundboards and meme edits, where the sudden roar works as a classic jump scare. Nostalgia for the film keeps the sound in circulation for horror and prank content.
