Fan Casting Androcles' Lion

Role added by jeremyelcuervo on February 24, 2023

Description of Androcles' Lion:

Just as in the ancient fable of Androcles and the Lion, a character befriends or aids a wild creature. In a moment of need, the creature returns the favor. Sometimes the creature was a Pet Baby Wild Animal, and the character wonders "Why Isn't It Attacking?" before recognizing it. While a pessimist will claim that No Good Deed Goes Unpunished, this Trope can often prove the exact opposite, and sometimes save the hero from certain doom. Hitchhiker Heroes often acquire animals like this; they are often Talking Animals, perhaps even humans trapped in an animal's body.
