Animals in mythology/folk lore

I had a question that maybe some of you could help me out on.

Aside from the obvious Lion and Eagle, what animals are normally attributed noble traits in mythology and folk lore? What about evil traits?

I'm drawing a blank and having a hard time figuring out how best to look for this kind of info.

Wow, shit...I want to say the dog is attributed noble traits, but the rest is a blank too.

Ravens are attributed to Odin, aren't they? So in that sense they're quite good.

But they're also seen of as bad omens before battles.

Yeah, I think in most folklore Ravens are bad though. Long story short, is that I'm working on my semester project for modelling, which will be an armored character (likely to be Paladin or Antipaladin in nature) and I'm thinking on how I want to theme the armor.

Sly fox.

It depends what you want to go for, really. Heavy, light, ceremonial, plainly efficient, half and half.

You could go for the crustacean look. I hear that's in fashion these days.

Well, it can't really be plain as this is a character animation/3d modelling class, so it's gonna need to show off some modelling skill.

Kagom might have something with the Owls though, I don't think Owls have been overdone.

If you go with owls then you can have the winged helmet and beaked nose piece, can't you? And maybe even a feather cloak, just to show off your texturing skills.

Which program are you going to be using?

You could do owls, but they're more attributed to wisdom than anything else.

Dude, you played Diablo II like a fuckin beast, how can you not think of stuff like this?

You need to steal some ideas from DII.

Native American Mythology, but it's the most comprehensive one I could find.
