Mildew Wolf is a fictional anthropomorphic wolf, main antagonist, and title character of the Cattanooga Cats segment It's the Wolf!. He is the most popular character of the series, and he was voiced by an uncredited Paul Lynde.[1]
Mildew's main goal in the segments was to catch a little sheep named Lambsy, but he was always thwarted by Lambsy's sheep dog friend and bodyguard, Bristlehound.[2]
In 1977–78, Mildew became a co-host (with Snagglepuss) on the Laff-A-Lympics segments of Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics / Scooby's All-Stars. He was voiced by John Stephenson.
Mildew Wolf appeared in A Yabba-Dabba-Doo Celebration! 50 Years of Hanna-Barbera.
Mildew Wolf appears in Jellystone!,[3] voiced by Bernardo de Paula. Possibly in reference to Paul Lynde's campy, barely closeted Hollywood persona, he is depicted as being gay, momentarily flirting with his co-worker Shazzan.[4] [5]
