The Wolves

"You know, the first settlers here, they put bounties on wolves' heads. Brought the natives into it. Made them hunt 'em. Didn't take 'em too long to kill them all. They're back now."

- One of the wolves to Morgan.

The Wolves are a group of survivors introduced in Season 5 of AMC's The Walking Dead.

Pre-Apocalypse
Nothing is known about the life of The Wolves before the zombie apocalypse.

Post-Apocalypse
Some time after the outbreak, these survivors started to scavenge around the D.C. area, killing and luring other survivors into traps, taking their supplies, carving the letter "W" on their heads, and using them as bait after they turn. They also draw a "W" on their own heads.

Sometime between Noah's arrival and departure from Grady Memorial Hospital, The Wolves attacked Shirewilt Estates, killing many of the inhabitants.

When Morgan is camping on his way to Washington, D.C., one of the wolves approaches him, threatening to rob and kill him. As Morgan resists, another wolf attacks him. After winning the fight, Morgan locks them up inside the car he was sleeping in it and honks the horn.

Somehow, the two wolves escaped. Later, they captured and killed the Red Poncho Man that Daryl Dixon and Aaron were tracking earlier, leaving him to turn. One of the wolves finds Aaron's bag and photos of Alexandria, Rick and Carl Grimes. possibly implying that they are now planning an attack on the safe-zone.

Trivia

 * The Wolves leave messages in the places they attack. In Shirewilt Estates, the writing "WOLVES NOT FAR" can be seen in one of the walls. The same writing is later seen in the car that Daryl and Aaron were hiding before both being saved by Morgan.
 * It appears that The Wolves are an altered version of The Scavengers from the Comic Series - a trait they share with both The Claimers and Terminus (in regards to both The Marauders and The Hunters respectively)..
 * Their introduction has been foreshadowed several times throughout the second half of Season 5:
 * In What Happened and What's Going on, the writing "WOLVES NOT FAR" can be seen in Shirewilt Estates and in a barn.
 * In Remember, Carl finds a comic book called "Wolf Fight".
 * In Forget, Daryl finds the first of many walkers with a "W" carved on their heads.
 * In Try, Daryl and Aaron come across a camp that was recently attacked by The Wolves.
