Origin[]
Little Red Riding Hood walks through the Okefenokee Swamps of Georgia to deliver supplies to her grandmother the Old Crone, who is also witch. While she makes her deliveries, Red is being hunted by Elmer Dowd who is actually a werewolf. Elmer is the Big Bad Wolf in this version of the tale.
During one attempt at Red, Elmer in werewolf form is mistaken for a wolf by Zach Parker and shot. He is found again by Tim Blake, his hunting partner along with Zach. He soon makes another attempt on Red, and is shot again by Zach. On the third attempt, he is shot by Zach and runs off.
Zach's fate is decided when Red reveals her vampiric nature and kills hm. She flies away in the form of a bat. Elmer continues to hunt Red, but only sees the oversized bat, not realizing it is actually Little Red Riding Hood.
Powers and Abilities[]
Little Red Riding Hood is shown to have the ability to disguise herself as a human as well as take on the form of a giant humanoid bat. While in her human form sunlight does not seem to weakens or destroy her. Presumably she may possess the same powers and abilities as other famous vampires like Dracula, but they are not shown in this story.
