Aslan is the great lion in C.S. Lewis’s Narnia series.
Aslan is the central guiding figure of The Chronicles of Narnia, appearing as the creator and rightful ruler of the fictional world. His name is derived from the Turkish word for “lion,” and Lewis presents him as powerful, compassionate, wise and morally authoritative.
The character is especially prominent in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, where he sacrifices himself for Edmund Pevensie and later returns to life. This storyline is widely read as a Christian allegory, although Lewis resisted reducing the Narnia books to a simple one-to-one code.
Aslan is not merely a talking animal among many. He is linked to Narnia’s creation, its restoration and its final destiny. The other names in the answer choices belong to different Narnian figures: Tash is a dark deity, Jadis is the White Witch, and Puddleglum is a Marsh-wiggle.
