A jackal.
In Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book," the wolves of India despise Tabaqui the jackal because he is seen as a cowardly scavenger who relies on deceit and trickery rather than strength and honor. Tabaqui's behavior and cunning nature make him an outsider among the proud and noble wolves, who value loyalty and bravery. His role as a sycophant who seeks to curry favor with more powerful animals further alienates him from the wolf pack. Ultimately, Tabaqui embodies traits that are at odds with the values of the wolves, leading to their disdain for him.
