That’s my swamp, I don’t know you!

Happy New Year! May all your weather be good and mild

Hello! Interesting question.. I'll even try to give a few concepts. In my view, Life is actually not much different from the image of the Wolf. In the sense that it will clearly not be someone "small and fluffy." Because Life, like Death, is not an absolutely positive or negative phenomenon. She even knows how to show her teeth (or claws) and able to both give and take away. It is clear that the same rabbits can be cruel and dangerous, but they don't work as an image. The first one that came to mind was Bear (not Goldie's mother). For the reason that these animals are extremely fiercely protecting their cubs, even if the potential threat is not a threat as such. Plus her omnivorous and craving for collecting plants, berries, mushrooms. In other words, the one who uses natural resources to the maximum before periods of hunger strike.

Next Lynx. A representative of the cat family, but having the habits of a canine. Also, like the bear, the natural rival of the wolf.

The female wolf is probably the most banal example. But I can't get out of my head Raksha Satan from The Jungle book. Who fearlessly threatened a huge tiger to protect not only her wolf cubs, but also a child of another species. Could be a symbol of life for the Wolf himself, as a member of his own species, if you know what I mean х)) This lady will definitely be of a much more dangerous nature.

The African wild dog. Representative of the canine family that lives in the south. These dogs are known for their survivability, and in terms of obtaining food, they are more successful than lions. They are also able to cooperate with other predators, such as coyotes or hyenas, that is, they are social. Which also plays as the opposite of Lone Wolf.

Stork. Trite from the theme of storks that bring children in their beaks. Specifically, the black stork is a bird listed in the Red Book. There is a legend that this is a white stork, darkened with grief, as people turn gray from suffering. "Past troubles and trials have changed not only the color of the birds, but also their character - their soul is overshadowed by sadness." Perhaps a slight reference to the Egyptian god Thoth, as he does look a little similar in appearance.

And finally, the snowy owl, like a silent and imperceptible eye that watches from above. But I was already too lazy to draw it, sorry х)

Nevertheless, if we proceed from the early sketches of the Wolf himself, who grazes and guards the lambs for their transition to the next step (as an option, as souls for the transition to the mortal world), then there is no need for the embodiment of Life. Simply because the Wolf, with all his evil and bloodthirsty appearance, controls both sides, like a neutral judge.

Sonic: Not much, just had a realization.

Link: Oh?

Sonic: Yeah. I just realized that Puss in Boots: the Last Wish is an animated kids version of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.

Link: ... You’re gonna have to elaborate on that one buddy.

Sonic: Oh, it’s easy. See the first big fight for the protagonist in both is against a giant and monstrous foe that would be the final boss anywhere else, Metal Gear Ray/The Giant.

Link: Okay but I still don’t-

Sonic: Then the protagonist fights against a superior foe who seems like just some guy who defeats the protag and challenges his ideals, Jetstream Sam/Death.

Link: I mean... you’re not-

Sonic: THEN, the protag fights a female boss who thinks he’s cute, Mistral/Softpaws, after acquiring a canine companion, Bladewolf/Perrito. Then comes the fight against an absolute scumbag, Monsoon/Jack Horner. Then the protag fights their rival again after having rethought their ideals and changed as a person and wins where before they lost, Sam/Death again. And finally, the real final boss against a roided-out rich guy after power, Giant Jack Horner/Senator Armstrong.
