A wolf strangling Po's father
There are a few types of different wolves, they can be either harder or easier to be beaten by Po, the appear in Kung fu Panda the Game.
- Wolf Soldier These appear in Kung Fu Panda: The Game and are one of the main ranks that take up most of the force in the Shadow Lang army. They have black and white stripes on their back, desert variants have a plain, orange color
- Wolf Archer Regular wolf soldiers, but armed with bows and arrows. They have less health than the standard soldier.
- Wolf Ninja The fastest of Tai Lung’s army, they wear almost completely black and double wield 2 swords. They can deploy smoke bombs that make them disappear out of thin air, only to appear somewhere else to flank Po from a different angle, which makes them a difficult enemy to kill. Unlike other wolves in the Elite ranks, they are vulnerable and unable block attacks, but they can swiftly move away from Strong Attacks. they are a playable character option in multiplayer.
- Staff Wolf very fast and one of the most skilled wolves of the Shadow Lang. They wield a long stick or a staff that can attack Po at long ranges. They wear robes on their necks and have spare staffs on their backs. Although they do less damage, and have little health, they rely on speed and momentum to take out Po, they can block Fast Attacks and sometimes maneuver Strong Attacks. They are immune to Po’s Belly Flop ability
- Slasher Wolf tank wolves that carry two hooked claws that can be contracted by the user. As their name suggests, they will attack in a slashing pattern. They do major damage towards Po and can block Fast Attacks and on rare occasions, block Strong Attacks too. Although they appear to be larger and dominant towards other wolves, they are very slow and takes a much longer time to reach Po than other wolves. Like the Staff Wolf, they are immune to the Belly Flop ability. They wear red armor with flags on their backs displaying Chinese dialect. They are playable in the arcade menu.
The next few types ARENT wolves, but are paid as mercenaries or joined in due to a separate situation.
- Ox Warrior large tank water buffalos that are armed with a double-edged mace. They only wear brown leather pants but have tons of health. Like every other tank enemy, they block Basic Attacks, only weak to Strong Attacks. They do MAJOR damage, stronger than the Slasher Wolf and they run fast that it has its own ability to ram Po with its horns. They are considered a mini boss to Po. They are a playable character in multiplayer mode.
History[]
In Kung Fu Panda: The Game[]
Shifu fighting one of the army's wolf archers
The Lang Shadow Army is led by Tai Lung, but they went into hiding when Tai Lung was imprisoned. Shortly after he escaped, he hired pigs from the Blackhoof Boar Clan in the meantime to raid the Jade Palace in attempt to steal the Dragon Scroll. Which they failed. He went back to his own personal army afterwards.
They guarded the captured Furious Five after Tai Lung defeated them, but Master Shifu fought his way through the battalion there and freed his students.
Later, Po, having gotten lost returning to the Jade Palace, stumbled upon a small group of them led by the Wu Sisters and later still battled with the group guarding Tai Lung's Training Grounds, after an encounter with Tai Lung himself. Following Tai Lung's lead, the Lang Shadow Army spearheaded the attack on the Valley of Peace, bombarding the village from the river and terrorizing the citizens. As Po and Master Monkey battled the army, Shifu delayed Tai Lung and a group of wolves in the Jade Palace. As Po fought with Tai Lung, many of Tai Lung's soldiers stepped in to help him, but even with their aid, Tai Lung couldn't beat the Dragon Warrior. The army retreated after Tai Lung's defeat.
It is currently unknown what the remaining soldiers are doing now that they're without a leader.
Personality[]
The wolves of the Lang Shadow Army were often a variety of sneaky, deadly, silent, and loud.
Fighting style[]
Many of the army's members were skilled in using hook swords, staffs, and bows. Some were also able to vanish in a puff of smoke (these were slasher wolves) and appear a short distance away. But despite how fairly skilled and dangerous fighters they were, none were quite a match for Po, Shifu, or the Furious Five.

Trivia[]
- The Chinese word "lang" translated into English means "wolf" (traditional and simplified Chinese: 狼?; pinyin: láng).
- The Lang Shadow Army was originally planned in the early development of the first film's story, but was eventually scrapped. However, they do appear as an easter egg on the surface of the Urn of Whispering Warriors, and one of the wolves' design is reused as Master Wolf in Legend of the Legendary Warrior. It is also possible that they may have been the inspiration for Shen's wolf army in the second film.
