hagiographies. It attempts to show how wild animals are depicted in medieval Ethiopian hagiographies. It was designed to be a qualitative study that would imply an inductive inquiry to develop themes from hagiographical texts. The data source for this study is a collection of twenty-two hagiographies original written in Ethiopic in the 14th and 15th centuries. And the data was collected through critical reading of twenty-two hagiographies. The data were analyzed based on the thematic analysis method. The results of this study indicate that the types of wild animals that dominated dominantly in the medieval Ethiopian hagiographies were lion, tiger, wolf, jackal, serpent, python, fish, bear, monkey, ape, deer, elephant, warthog, hyena, gazelle, sparrows, falcons, ravens, partridge, guinea fowl, locust, eagle, dove, scorpion, and ibex, and which were Portrayed as a personification, metaphor, transportation, symbolism, simile, guard, food, servant, child, enmity, ferocity, anti-croup, cult, and hyperbole (exclamation). The study concludes that wild animals were depicted in various ways in the twenty-two hagiographies, but generally they were described in both positive and negative ways. Except for venomous and predatory animals such as serpents, pythons, wolves, jackals, and hyenas, all most wild animals depicted positively and the saints had a positive relationship with other beasts. The researcher's recommendation is that, in light of the findings of this study, wild animals were written about in medieval Ethiopian Gǝ‟əz hagiographies as more than just literary devices. A lot of information about wild animals will be available if more research is done.
