Animal lord
Animal Lords are a type of near-godlike spirits akin in some ways (such as power) to archomentals, celestial paragons or lesser archfiends (archdevils and demon lords).
There are many "examples of the [animal] lords who live in the Beastlands. For each variety of animal there is a corresponding animal lord. For instance, there is a fox lord, an owl lord, a horse lord, and hundreds of other animal lords. Notably, in Greyhawk, the Cat Lord (Rex Felis) plays an important role in the Gord the Rogue novels by Gary Gygax.
Animal lords can appear in humanoid or animal form. Their humanoid form encompasses the subtle features of the animal in question, and they are about 6 feet tall. In animal form, they look like the animal over which they have dominion. The tiger lord looks like a sleek tiger, the badger lord appears as a badger, and so on."[1]
