Runt is a future Omega. He is one of Kate and Humphrey's three pups. He is a sibling to Stinky and Claudette. He first appears in Alpha and Omega 2: A Howl-iday Adventure and is seen to be silly and always ready for fun like Humphrey and other Omegas. Unlike most wolves, he is the only one seen climbing trees as a unique and useful talent.
Appearance
Runt looks almost exactly like his father and brother, and can be told apart only by his shortness, longer eyelashes, and darker fur.
Personality
Runt seems to have a personality to prove himself and that he's not afraid to have a little fun. He is sweet and has the innocence that any child could have.
Alpha and Omega 2: A Howl-iday Adventure
Runt is first seen walking along with his brother Stinky and his sister Claudette through the forest, having a look at the place where their parents Kate and Humphrey used to log board. After a few discussions with his siblings, Runt decides to climb up a tree to display his uniqueness; much to Stinky and Claudette's shock since Stinky states "it is unsightly for a wolf to be climbing a tree." At the top, Runt can see Banff; an enemy territory where rogue wolves live. Then, Runt notices three wolves, not from their pack, coming their way. When Stinky and Claudette wonder if they could be the rogue wolves from Banff their grandfather Winston told them about, Runt asks them out loud who they are, which causes them to run. After a fight with a grizzly bear against the two pups and only two rogue wolves, Runt mysteriously vanishes from the tree.
A few moments later, Stinky and Claudette notice Runt's paw prints and Stinky, having a sharp sense of smell, deduces another wolf (the third rogue) was here and that Runt has been kidnapped by the rogues.
After Runt is kidnapped by the rogue wolves led by his pack's enemy, King, to be served as bait for Winston, Tony, Kate, and Humphrey, Princess, King's daughter, guards him and later, grows to like him like her own cub.
At night, Princess offers a small piece of meat for Runt to eat. After a few bites, Runt offers the rest to her in return. Princess asks him why isn't he eating the rest while stating how scarce meat is. Runt replies that he was saving the other half for her; almost like sharing as Omegas do in return for her kindness. Princess states that when her pack has a kill, those who eat are those who fight for it. Runt then thinks that the "pups would do really well under that scenario," thus, causing Princess to growl a little at Runt when justifying that "the Alpha pups do." Then, Princess suggests Runt sleeps in an even warmer spot since Runt was freezing a little in his earlier sleeping spot.
A few moments later, seeing as to how weak and cold the Omega pup is, Princess lies next to Runt to make sure her father and his pack's bait stays alive and warm during the cold night. While sleeping, Runt yawns and then, cuddles beside Princess; showing that he's starting to like her. Princess is touched, but nevertheless, remains focused on her father's plan.
In the morning, Princess takes Runt to another spot so as to be seen by their enemies and let them be lured to their trap while listening to Runt comment about what it feels like to spend the holidays away from his family. When Runt sees Marcel and Paddy circling around as a way of watching over him, one rogue wolf sarcastically replies that "even the birds smell death." When Runt mocks his joke by saying that "they smell him," the wolf sets to attack him; not before being stopped by Princess. A fierce growl fight starts and ends with the wolf falling aside from a rock step. Princess' father, having witnessed the whole thing, cruelly tells her that if their enemies do not send a rescue brigade by sundown, Runt will be of no further use to them. Princess doesn't like this idea but regretfully agrees to it.
Later on, Runt states "how time flies" to which Princess agrees to. Then, Runt asks Princess if she's going to eat him but Princess amusingly replies that Runt "would taste very badly." Princess starts to worry a little as Runt's family hasn't yet showed up for him.
Later, as King and some rogue wolves are distracted by Humphrey (and Garth) posing as "a mighty alpha" while Princess guards Runt with Kate sneaking from behind, she is asked by her father to come forth and meet Humphrey halfway; leaving Runt alone, unguarded, and to be rescued by his mother.
As Runt is reunited with his family and after forging an alliance with grizzlies in return for taking care of their missing cub to help Tony, Winston, Garth, Lilly, Marcel, and Paddy win the battle against the rogues, Runt and his family head to the human roads for safety. When the path gets too cold and snowy and the family is lost, Runt climbs up a tree to see the way to the human roads; much to Kate's shock. When Runt tells his family that he sees the way and tells them the way as he climbs and falls safely down into the snow from the tree, Kate is relieved and happy.
To reach the human roads the fast way, Runt and his family log board all the way until they bump into a rock and crash-land into the snow. Then, the family continues on foot until they reach a familiar gas station where Kate and Humphrey survived Max, a "mad hunter," from the first film. As they get closer, Runt notices the blinking lights on his Christmas tree and approaches to have a better look but when Max notices Runt, Runt runs to join his family and hide from him. Then, Max decides to leave his place with the door open for an unknown reason and drive away in his truck.
After Max leaves, Runt and his siblings run inside to see why the door was left open and the Christmas tree; despite their parents' warnings and thinking it's a trap. Inside, to Kate and Humphrey's surprise, Max actually left the door open for them to enter for food and warmth during the winter when they see their pups happily eating dog food in bowls left for them by Max next to the Christmas tree; which is possible to conclude that Max may have changed his ways since his last encounter with Kate and Humphrey.
Runt is finally seen happily sleeping with his family as Kate tells Humphrey that "here they are; trying to get home again" to which Humphrey replies: "I think we already are." Then, the whole family sleeps for the whole winter night as the story comes to end.
Alpha and Omega 3: The Great Wolf Games
In Alpha and Omega 3: the Great Wolf Games, Runt is first seen on a tree, overlooking the hunting wolves of the four regions with his siblings, Stinky and Claudette. Runt is then complimented on the 'good find' or the good view, picked from his tree climbing skills. After watching the hunt for a more few minutes, three wolf pups come out from the side to help in the hunting technique. This is also the first appearance of Fleet to the three main protagonists. Claudette then suggests that the three of them try the hunting technique for themselves, after seeing the first group of wolves fail. The three then speed off down a slope and attempt the technique for themselves. They chase the caribou for a few good seconds, and then Runt is asked to pick up his pace during this time. After Claudette performs the Spinout move at the end, and they successfully succeed the move, this is then where Fleet comes up, compliments them, and introduces himself. Claudette next in return introduces her brothers and herself back, mentioning the fact that Runt is the youngest brother in the family pack. Runt then defends himself by putting in that he is only younger by two minutes exact. Then Fleet discusses the Great Games to the three, and Claudette suggests they talk to their father, Humphrey, after Fleet suggests that they be his cheer wolves for the Northern Pack, seeming the Western Region wasn't competing in the games for that year. After that, Runt jokes at how he was supposed to be the 'water boy' with being the only Omega.
The pups then find Humphrey log sledding with Mooch while discussing the alpha hunting trip and how Humphrey was changed and tamed with his Omega reputation by Kate when she had came into his life. Humphrey is shocked then when he sees his pups just eavesdropping nearby, waiting to talk to him. Humphrey next asks "How long have you been there?" Runt teases his dad with this, and remarks that he had them at "Reputation".
Later on Claudette sees this junior bear in the fields chasing some birds, and she then suggests to her brothers that they go and see him, to recruit for the Western Region team, for the Great Games. On the way Runt asks again about it, and Claudette explains more.
Runt is seen throughout more parts of the movie, but he doesn't say much, due to Claudette being the main protagonist of the third movie.
Runt is seen doing the Great Games with his siblings and at one point is to ride Agnes's back to let her get her center gravity.
Runt then is seen speaking again at the end again when Claudette is challenged by Nars, Fleet's dad. "You got this" Is Runt's response, and because of this, Claudette accepts, leading to the final round of the Great Games. Afterwards, when Claudette and Fleet ties in the final round, Runt is seen cheering and congratulating his sister with Stinky, his brother.
