I need translations of Bad Wolf, ways the words 'Bad Wolf' can be slipped into a narrative, basically any possible way to refer to 'Bad Wolf'.
And yes, I already found the backwards version, 'Flow Dab', and used 'Malo Lupo'. This is for a Doctor Who fanfiction.
You're all language experts (at least, most of you are), so give me some ideas, please!

Can you reference the fairy tales at all? Perhaps a red hoody or having a villain shout "huff and puff" when trying to get through a barred door. Maybe an illustration or tattoo of a cartoon villain wolf.

That's a pony crossover fanfic, by the way. As far as I know, pony!Rose does not make an appearance. *shrug*
Also, in "The Unquiet Dead", the servant girl with the alien sight thingie gets a look at Rose's future/past/whatever and says "The things you've seen...the darkness...the big bad wolf" at the end of her spiel, so you could totally do something like that. It'd be a more subtle version; I didn't even notice she said that until they flashbacked to it in "The Parting of the Ways." -

I know that Bad Wolf in Hebrew is 'זאב רע', "ze'ev ra'".

The scientific name for wolves is Canis lupus, so you could either make a name that looks like a subspecies (Canis lupus malus) or a full new species (Canis malus).
What else . . . Spanish would be, "lobo malo," I think. Or maybe "mal lobo?" I forget the rules for "malo" vs. "mal" usage.
Hey, pig latin! Adbay olfway! Huh? Huh? >>
And how about the Middle-earth version? Bad warg? <>
