Mech wolf guard

Mech wolves were flashlight guards in "Of Mice and Mechs" in Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time. They were artificial creatures created by Penelope to assist her in watching over Medieval England as her main security force.

History
After Penelope joined Cyrille Le Paradox, she was sent by him to Medieval England and developed the Black Knight armor suit. She used her mechanical expertise to create an army of mech wolves as security guards for both her castle and the town. They patrolled tirelessly and stopped only to refuel at the local tavern—The Rusty Toad.

When Sir Galleth Cooper attempted to defeat the Black Knight alone, he successfully plowed his way through hordes of mech wolves to the castle before he was defeated by the Black Knight herself. After Galleth was captured and put into the circus, a group of mech wolves were seen taking turns humiliating him at the dunk pool.

A group of mech wolves were eavesdropped on by Sly Cooper and unknowingly gave him the locations of the materials needed to assemble his Archer Costume. Upon Galleth's escape from the circus, the mech wolves continued patrolling, searching for him and the Cooper Gang, though their efforts all failed.
