Assuming it's reptilian theme then viii is most likely SOBEK, crocodile god of Egypt (and familiar to comics fans as a lachrymose villain in 52

So the theme may well be not just reptiles but crocodiles!

(Is vii a Just So Stories reference? I know the elephant gets his trunk after a fight with a crocodile, but do not remember what happened to the croc)

i don't recall anything happening to the croc -- the story stays with the elephant -- but i can look this up easily
