I'm pretty sure the guardian lion and heraldic lion are in the wrong panels. This is the coat of arms of Norway.
This is coat of arms of finland

Love it
Can't wait for FromSoft to have the boss that is a lion with one (1) Man-Arm, wielding a sword.
They had blade lion but this is a necessary evolution.
I think Axe Lion and Dual Sword Lion Man could make a fearsome duo when fighting off invaders. Let's have Dual Shield-bearing Lion join in for a defence buff and Triple Love Heart Lion for charm spells, then we'll have a complete party against the Two-Headed Eagle.
If you need more lions just call Munich. Bavaria loves lions so much, they have two lions carrying a shield with a total of 4 lions in it.
(And a Panther whose thought process must be something like "day 3498: they still haven't noticed I'm not a lion.")
The first frame is of the heraldic saying the greeting, the second is of the guardian replying. It's not us readers greeting the wrong lions, as I also thought at first.
Speech bubbles might've helped clear the ambiguity. I was confused at first, as well.
Or the flag of the Dutch province of South Holland:
the British r🤮yal coat of arms has NINE (most of them with penises) and a unicorn
edit: I kept spotting more
So there was a state with a angel ... girl, one with a lion and one with 3 lions (but twice the size/might)?
it's a stylised version of a harp representing Ireland
the top right is Scotland, the top left and bottom right is England. When it's displayed in Scotland you get two Scotland single-lion and one England triple-lion
nb: in heraldry you're meant to refer to it as if it's a shield in front of you, so left in the image is "heraldic right" - this note for the pedants, but I'm just using left to mean left on the image as you look at it in this comment.
Nothing like some lion penis to strike fear in to the hearts of the enemy!
The cat on that shield looks so confused
"They gave me this axe and told me to go forth and defend the motherland. I'm a cat. Cat's can't hold an axe. What is a motherland anyway? Why do I have a crown? What is cat supposed to do with an axe? Axe questions? Why am I breathing fire?"
