List of Narnian creatures
Narnian creatures are any non-human inhabitants of Narnia, the fantasy world created by C. S. Lewis as a setting for his ''The Chronicles of Narnia''. This is a series of commentaries on the creatures of Narnia. Entries include information on physical, habitual, and behavioural elements of the creatures, as well as noting any important members of the species. Each commentary draws on specific references and citations from the books and officially sanctioned Disney films. Many animals that are found in our world are also present in Narnia, and some species include talking variations. At the birth of Narnia, Aslan the lion stares at certain animals and breathes upon them. This enabled them to think and talk in a manner similar to humans, and also altered their size (MN). Smaller talking beasts – such as rodents, birds and small mammals – are generally larger than their non-talking counterparts, whereas larger talking beasts are generally smaller than average. There is never any mention of talking fish or insects, although there are Naiads, or water-spirits. Lewis freely drew on various sources for inspiration; the creatures contained in this list include many from classical mythology and English folklore.〔K. M. Briggs, ''The Fairies in English Tradition and Literature'', p. 209 University of Chicago Press, London, 1967〕
==A==
* Albatross - Aslan is shown as taking the form of an albatross in Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
* Ape - Apes are among the cleverest of talking beasts. As in our world, their diet seems to consist primarily of fruit and nuts (LB). There are evil apes present among the horde of the White Witch at the sacrifice of Aslan (LWW). Also an ape named Shift was a ringleader in the Tashlan conspiracy. (LB). It wasn't explained by C.S. Lewis on what type of apes appeared in his stories.
