The wolves at the end of the story most closely align with The Destroyer archetype. They represent a looming threat and an element of danger that brings about a destructive outcome for the characters, contrasting the hope and relief that Ulrich initially felt when he thought he saw his men.
There was silence again for some minutes, and then Ulrich gave a joyful cry. "I can see figures
coming through the wood. They are following in the way I came down the hillside."
Both men raised their voices in as loud a shout as they could muster.
"They hear us! They've stopped. Now they see us. They're running down the hill towards us,"
cried Ulrich.
"How many of them are there?" asked Georg.
"I can't see distinctly," said Ulrich "nine or ten."
"Then they are yours," said Georg "I had only seven out with me."
"They are making all the speed they can, brave lads," said Ulrich gladly.
"Are they your men?" asked Georg. "Are they your men?" he repeated impatiently as Ulrich did
not answer.
"No," said Ulrich with a laugh, the idiotic chattering laugh of a man unstrung with hideous fear.
"Who are they?" asked Georg quickly, straining his eyes to see what the other would gladly not
have seen.
"Wolves."
