Chinese episode title: "羊村陷落" ("Yang Cun Xianluo")
English episode title: "The Fall of Goats' Village"
Original airdate: January 18th, 2019

Weslie has a dream that makes him wonder whether goats and wolves can co-exist in harmony. General Wolf comes to help the wolves break into Goat Village; Wolffy finds a chip from General Wolf's suitcase and uses it, causing him to transform into a dog.


"The Fall of Goats' Village" contains the following tropes:

  • Bait-and-Switch Comment: General Wolf says "You should go." while facing Wolffy, making Wolffy think he wants him to come along with him to break into Goat Village. Turns out he was referring to a frog on his head instead.
  • Dream Intro: The episode begins with Weslie dreaming that he and the other goats are being attacked by the wolves. Wolffy tells Weslie that he thinks goats and wolves can co-exist peacefully, but a shadowed General Wolf appears and says they can't.
  • Elongating Arm Gag: Wolffy's arm extends to a cartoonish length when he runs off and grabs General Wolf's suitcase so that he can give it back to General Wolf.
  • Freeze-Frame Bonus: If you pause at the right moment during one scene, you'll see Darker doing the dab. It's immortalized in the season's intro as well.
  • Hard-Work Montage: Weslie gets one where he cleans up the storehouse, with another montage of Wolffy packing General Wolf's stuff back into his suitcase being shown concurrently with it. Certain parts of the dual montage sync up the two characters' actions to make them seem connected, such as making it look like Weslie is taking something out of a box and giving it to Wolffy to put away, for example.
  • The Ketchup Test: The wolves wind up hurt and have what looks like blood on them. Wolffy taste-tests it to see if it's really blood, and then comments that it's just tomato sauce.
  • The Last Straw: The wolves are all blasted to Wolf Castle, where Wolffy lands on the roof perfectly but is sent through the roof flooring into the room below when the other wolves land on him. Wolffy is carrying everybody on his back and does surprisingly well at managing their sheer amount of weight... until an envelope lands on him, which is enough to make him collapse.
  • Shameful Shrinking: When Wolffy is told by Wonky that their leader has promoted the wolves and given them a raise, he tells Wonky that the letter he is reading from is upside-down. Wonky says he was just easing the tension and shrinks as he blushes.
  • Shout-Out: The scene where Wolffy transforms into a dog is deliberately made to look like the transformation sequences in Sailor Moon.
  • Transformation Sequence: Wolffy gets one when he uses General Wolf's chip to transform, made to look like the ones in Sailor Moon. The transformation sequence ultimately ends with him transformed into a dog.
