Those named Wolf and those named Fox, as Lion, as Vulture, are not
arbitrary. Something guides them. Howl or utterance as vocalization well
convey information then meaning. It takes no semitic or mayan script to understand. Early artifact Chess
nomenclature suggests lineage of consciousness, a reaction from the call of
the wild.
Gilman's 'Man & Beasts' and 4 LinePiece Fusion expand on Stiles' Wolf and Fox as follows:
Bishop+Wolf=WOLFHOUND, a creature that runs (think Laufer/Loper/Futar) after Wolves.
Bishop+Fox=FOXHOUND, likewise after Foxes. This piece is colourbound.
Wolf+Fox=WEREWOLF, a fairly obvious indicator of an enhanced Wolf.
Betza's http://www.chessvariants.org/other.dir/pasgl312-chess.html Fox is
an up to three square Crooked Bishop plus unidirectional Wazir.
Shou Dou Qi Wolf is full Wazir, http://www.chessvariants.org/other.dir/animal.html, along with the others.
Christine Bagley-Jones description of Shogi units:
Enchanted-Fox slides one or two squares diagonally
forward or straight backward;
Evil-Wolf description steps forwards, diagonally forwards, and
sideways; name Running-Wolf slides any amount of squares diagonally
forward, sideways, or steps 1 square straight ahead, Taikyoku Shogi.
