Wolf, Panther, Lion; who are they really? An enquiry into the beasts of Limbus Company’s Dark Forest

Limbus Company begins with Dante (our clock-headed manager-protagonist) beset by three sinister individuals known as Wolf, Panther and Lion. These characters have parallels in the Inferno, by Dante Alighieri.

In this episode, I draw upon some scholarship, a coupla wikis and my own general knowledge to pull together some additional information about the beasts, and what they mean, beyond what we are shown in the narrative thus far.

Plus I have a go at dubbing said interlopers!
