Pretty much everything about a volcano is deadly, but especially the ash, dust, and smoke that can suffocate you, and the extreme heat. I'm not saying that the lava itself isn't deadly, but there are other things about a volcano that can kill you. My advice: stay away from them!

Is there any animal life after a volcano?

Yes, usually some animals manage to survive. Due to deadly gasses, very few animals tend to live near volcano vents. Many animals also tend to recognize signs that something is wrong before an eruption happens, and they will clear out of the area when it is possible. The ones that stick around until the eruption will run when it all starts to happen. Sometimes, like in the cases of smaller islands, there is just nowhere to go, and the survival rate is lower. In most cases though, many animals are able to get out of the way and survive.

Are the Eyjafjallajokull eruptions violent or mild?

The eruptions would normally be passive in nature, however when the magma mixes with the glaciers present on the volcano it gets more explosive. The volcano is of the same style as Hawaiian volcanoes, however, with the presence of ice the eruptions tend to produce large amounts of steam and ash that can cause explosive outbursts.
