Beowulf

Beowulf is a heroic man whose name means "the Bee Wolf". He slew Grendel, then Grendel's mother, and then a dragon which cost him his own life. His friend is Howler the Wolf, a turned-into-stone wolf who befriended him. He has descendants, even Zabivaka, the 2018 World Cup Mascot Wolf, who is his last descendant.
