What is the name of Snake Eyes' pet wolf?

The story behind the answer

Snake Eyes' pet wolf is named Timber.

In the original G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero continuity, Snake Eyes lives in seclusion in the High Sierra with Timber before joining the G.I. Joe Team. The wolf is portrayed as his loyal companion and guard animal, not merely as a generic mascot.

Timber also became strongly associated with the toyline. The 1985 second version of the Snake Eyes action figure was packaged with a wolf named Timber, helping cement the character's identity for collectors. Later G.I. Joe releases, including modern Classified Series figures, continued pairing Snake Eyes with Timber.

The name can vary across continuities and adaptations, but Timber is the canonical name associated with Snake Eyes' best-known pet wolf. Names such as Fang, Lobo, and Wolf are distractors rather than established names for this character.
