This works to his advantage, as he's able to get in front of Goliath, pick up his hilariously oversized gun, aim it, and deliver a small rant about getting even before taking the shot, all because Goliath and Hudson are so utterly bewildered by his appearance that they don't take any action to defend themselves.

Wolf is back and badder than ever with his newfound toy, a Viking Battle-Axe with mystical properties... containing the spirit of his long dead ancestor... the Viking Hakon. The two old foes of the Gargoyles have teamed up to take them down hard.
Meanwhile, background character Vinnie lugs around a weapon of enormous size, determined to get his own vengeance against the Gargoyles for their constantly making a mess of his life.

This Episode contains the following Tropes:
* ActingForTwo: Wolf and Hakon share the same voice actor, the very awesome Creator/ClancyBrown. Explained InUniverse as Wolf being Hakon's descendant.
* AnAxeToGrind: Hakon bound his soul to an axe to escape the cave he was trapped in. Once it's destroyed, his soul is forced to depart. Possibly forever, as he never made another appearance in the series.
* [[AxCrazy Battle Ax Crazy]]: Tonight, Wolf makes it literal thanks to his ancestors weapon. And of course there's Hakon himself.
* {{BFG}}: Vinnie's weapon could count as a Deconstruction of this, as its massive size makes it highly unwieldy and very heavy to lug around. And then there's the matter of its unusual choice of ammunition.
