The central creature in C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is Aslan.
Aslan is a talking lion and the most important figure in the Chronicles of Narnia. He is introduced as the rightful ruler and creator of Narnia, and his return signals the end of the White Witch’s winter and oppression.
Lewis described Aslan as representing Christ, although Aslan is not simply a human-like figure placed into a fantasy setting. His actions include creation, judgment, sacrifice, resurrection, and final restoration, all expressed through the story’s own mythic world.
Other famous Narnian characters have different roles. Mr. Tumnus is a faun, Reepicheep is a brave talking mouse, and Puddleglum is a marsh-wiggle. Their popularity sometimes leads readers to remember them alongside Aslan, but none is the series’ central figure.
