Aslan is the lion who creates Narnia in C.S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia.
The creation scene appears in The Magician’s Nephew, published in 1955. Aslan sings Narnia into existence, bringing light, plants, animals, and other features of the world into being. He is presented as the great lion and the central authority of Narnia.
Aslan appears throughout the seven-book series, though not in equal prominence in every volume. Readers often connect him with Christian symbolism, especially because of his sacrificial death and resurrection in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Lewis said the stories were not simple allegories, so Aslan is better understood as a symbolic and narrative figure rather than a one-to-one code.
