Beowolf

Beowolves are dark wolf-like creatures that inhabit the Snowy Forest.

Appearance
Beowolves resemble the traditional wolf forms of lycanthropes, or werewolves, and are almost completely black apart from their eyes, teeth and gums which are a bright red. Unlike normal wolves, they are much larger and are able to stand up on their hind legs at a slight angle. They are generally lean, but they have enough strength to be able to knock Ruby back with a swiping motion.

Abilities & Powers
They are first shown in the original "Red" Trailer as the main enemies . They are shown as being plain and basic, only attacking with clawing and lunges, with no special skills as of yet. They are, however, extremely agile, as seen during the trailer when stalking Ruby through the Snowy Forest, as well as in their subsequent fight with her.

 The following is fan speculation, and is not to be considered canonical.

In the trailer, their bodies seem to evaporate when they are killed, though this may be a side effect of Crescent Rose. This idea is supported by the fact that their bodies dissolve only when hit or shot with the Sniper-Scythe, and by the fact that they dissolve into red flower petals, similar to those seen around Ruby earlier in the trailer.

It has been suggested that Black, who has yet to make an appearance, either descends from or is a Were-Beowolf. This is due to the lyrics of Red like Roses reading "Black the beast descends from shadows". This theory is supported by wolf-like ears and tail appearing in her silhouette, though further speculation has argued that her "tail" is in fact a piece of her clothing. Neither have been denied nor confirmed.

Trivia

 * According to Miles, Rooster Teeth are "very proud" of the name "Beowolf".
 * According to Monty, Ruby fighting wolves was intentional, as he wanted people to see the obvious reference to "Little Red Riding Hood"
