About

Aware Wolf refers to a four-panel image macro showing different interpretations of how to read and spell the phrase "a werewolf": "A werewolf," "A wearwolf," "A warewolf" and "Aware wolf." In the late 2010s, the image began being used as an exploitable in which "Aware Wolf" would be paired with a caption expressing the author's opinion, similar to memes like Double D's Facts Book.
